Is Garu' Dok unsung?
Man, that is a crime. I've just heard that it's going to print. i thinki that should likely go a long ways towards getting it "sung"
But I'll sing it's praises here. Garu'Dok's made it onto our ENnies nominations for a reason.
It rocks.

Re: Hellhound and enrious...
Well personally I lvoe this little program, 3 things I like...
The fact its fully customable (?) and very easy to do too, a few clicks of the mouse and you get what ya want..
You can print out characters, monsters etc in the standard NPC Stat block, as a writer this is very useful indeed..
Its got everything in there in one lump, character generation, map design, campaign design, the ability to input custom classes, put a template of anything over anything...
Its lovely...

We are working on Necromancer's Legacy as we speak (the print title) and it will be out in November (I think)
So many titles so little time..........

Yes, Gar' Udok will be seen in print and in an expanded format soon. We have retitled it so that it will roll off retailer's tongues a bit easier. It is now called Necromancer's Legacy. We can't wait for this to be out.
We also had some (from a company view) other sleepers that was nice for us. We suspected our Worldbook would do fairly well as we have a HROE fan base but the shocker titles are our non-d2o product, Giant Monster Rampage -2 fan sites and beginning to outsell our d20 products, which still sell high for the industry standard.
Our d20 sleeper hit has been Foul Locales: Urban Blight. It has outsold most of our other d20 product just on initial release and it is pickling up steam instead of going quickly off the shelf.
I think some sleepers outside our company have been Forgotten Kingdoms (Other World Creations) the Codex of Erde (Troll Lords Games) and Dragonstar (FFG- not sure if this was a sleeper hit or if I expected it). Ones I knew would hit were Arms And Armor (Bastion Press), Spy Craft (AEG), the Quint X (Mongoose). There are others but the list would get long.
I also think that Campaign Suite (Twin Rose) is finally getting the notice it deserves.

I thought this had the same problems as Brothehood of Prophecy. Too big for its own good with no support forthcoming for quite a while. If you planned on using it without any other books it was great but if you wanted support...

Re: Green Ronin Games
Green Races is good? I think that FFE is still suffering from the perception that their products are poorly edited in game mechanics and generally suffer bad art and other associated lower press problems.
Hows' Green Races far then?

Re: Re: Green Ronin Games
I wasn't impressed.
The one I am impressed with (despite aforementioned editing and mechanics probles) is Treasure Quests. I thumb through it every now and then and think of neat ways to drop in their little "mini-adventures."
Another one someone mentioned that I wasn't impressed with: Forbidden Kingdoms. Might make a nice adjunct to the Pulp Heroes mini-game, but it would take a lot of brushing up to use in its existing form IMO.

Re: Re: Green Ronin Games
It's a mess, basically. Conceptually it may have been interesting, but it suffers from bad organization, bad editing, and bad art.
I think FFE's Dungeon World is really rather cool, though. My favorite of FFE's books, by far.
