d20 Tribe 8...interest?

[Marc A. Vezina]

Aww now that is a bummer, no narration. That was like one of the best aspects of reading the Tribe 8 rulebook, it really got me into the game world. It made it a lot of fun to read.

Read, perhaps, but not play. And we want people to start playing the Tribe 8 setting, because:

a) It's a cool place, very different from the usual "elves/dwarves/magic" fantasy setting;

b) more play generally equals more sales.

So the book is really a player's handbook, designed to cut down the setting and its assumptions into small bite-size morsels that are easy to absorb and use. Once this is done, there are 20-odd books available to sate one's need for stories and ambiance.

We posted a one-page sample of the book on the Web site. (For maximum effect, we naturally chose a big bad Z'bri monster in d20 format, ehehe... even though some of the rules needed to effectively play it are found on other pages.)

We might do more of those preview samples if we see they have an effect on sales (because it does take a bit of manpower to prepare).

I had a bit of trouble tracking down the Players Guide on your website so I've taken the liberty of providing the link here...( I know you provide the link on the DP9 homepage, but I started on the T8 page and was a bit dense in my search for it...

Tribe8 Players Guide

It looks interesting...I'll definitely check it out...

The T8 Player's Handbook is in the house!

...and boy, it's a thing of beauty (even if it reuses artwork <grin>).

Expect to see it in stores in about two weeks or so (maybe three
-- this being the Holidays after all).

Needless to say, now would be a good time to bug your local
retailer about this... We even made a handy form to help you
do so:

Note to all:

1) The book is on its way to distributors. Those that already have it are either a) authors or b) subscribers. (And even then, we usually time things so that the subscribers will get the book at the same time as stores, so as not to piss off the latter. Seems it didn't work this time around.)

2) Glad those who already got it, like it a lot. The design team did a marvelous job on the book's content.

3) Despite higher than usual pre-orders, actual US distributor orders were kinda on the low side. To be clearer: if you don't ask your game store to get this book in, it's highly likely you won't see it.

4) The T8PH contains OGL material and conversion rules that gives you a new freeform magic system, several new powerful monsters and Feats, and access to the entire Tribe 8 library. OGL <--> d20. Worth repeating.

5) Useful for all Tribe 8 players. Worth repeating.

6) A review would be welcome.

Looking forward to pick this up, I'm really curios to see how synthesis is going to be ported to D20.

Keep Trollin...Trollin...Trollin... yea!
