[Green Ronin] April Releases Announced!

[Pramas]

We've just announced our April lineup at www.greenronin.com . It includes a new title for our popular Freeport line (Creatures of Freeport), the latest from our collaboration with the Game Mechanics (Thieves' Quarter), and a new Mythic Vistas titles courtesy of Bizzaro Games (SpirosBlaak). Details are below. You can see the covers, including Wayne Reynolds' awesome Creatures of Freeport cover, at our website.


SpirosBlaak
A Mythic Vistas Sourcebook for the d20 System
Written by Steven Trustrum with Christina Stiles
Cover Art by Jon Hodgson

MSRP: $27.95
GRR 1404
ISBN: 1-932442-17-0

SpirosBlaak, the latest in Green Ronin's critically acclaimed Mythic Vistas line, presents a complete archduchy that can be used as a stand-alone campaign setting or integrated into an existing world. With the gods fallen, it is up to the Player Characters to bring light and hope back into an archduchy overrun with lycanthropes. In addition to detailing this grim and gritty setting, SpirosBlaak includes black powder rules, new core and prestige classes, and a plethora of new gods. When the moon is full, will you lock your door and hide or draw your sword and fight?

Thieves' Quarter
A City Quarters Sourcebook for the d20 System
Written by JD Wiker and Christopher West
Maps by Christopher West
80 pages, perfect bound
MSRP: $17.95
GRR1026
ISBN: 1-932442-18-9

Need a tavern in a hurry? An inn? An alchemist? A conspiracy? How about a Thieves' Guild? How about an entire Thieves' Quarter? From The Game Mechanics (Artifacts of the Ages and the Modern Player's Companion) comes the first in a series of books detailing the people, places, and plots of the fantasy city of Liberty: the Thieves' Quarter, where life is cheap, and only the bravest-or most foolhardy-venture out alone at night. Modular in design, the Thieves' Quarter can be adapted wholesale to any city in any fantasy campaign, or Gamemasters can cherry-pick whatever they need, whenever they need it. With two dozen lushly-created maps by master cartographer Christopher West, dozens of fully-developed NPCs, and extensive encounter tables loaded with adventure hooks, the Thieves' Quarter is a ready-made mini-setting designed to be dropped into nearly any d20 fantasy campaign at a moment's notice. Future City Quarters volumes will include the Temple Quarter, the Arcane Quarter, the Nobles' Quarter, and the Mercenaries' Quarter.

Creatures of Freeport
Written by Keith Baker and Graeme Davis
Cover Art by Wayne Reynolds
96 pages, perfect bound
MSRP: $19.95
GRR 1027
ISBN: 1-932442-19-7

Creatures of Freeport is an innovative collection of monsters inspired by Green Ronin's Freeport setting but at home in any world. While there are many bestiaries on the market, there are none like Creatures of Freeport. These monsters are more than simple stat blocks. Each entry also includes Knowledge (what a character knows about a creature from Knowledge skills, Bardic Lore and other sources of information), Uses (details on parts that can be harvested and used by alchemists, spellcasters and others), and Adventure Hooks, many of which come with fully statted NPCs to make the GMs job even easier. With a cover by fan-favorite Wayne Reynolds and interior illustrations by the cream of Green Ronin's artistic roster, Creatures of Freeport is a stunning addition to any collection.

Thanks, we're trying to cram a lot of goodness into 2004.

Sweet, isn't it? That's Jon Hodgson's work. I first ran across his stuff in the Shieldwall supplement for Warhammer Ancient Battles and I'm happy we're publishing some of his work.

Hey, Pramas, what's with your guys' relationship with Amazon? I order one GR item from Amazon, and get a 30% discount. Next item I order (Freeport: City of Adventure), I have to pay full price...

I've got a lot of GR items on my "want list" (damn you, now I have to add a couple more!!! ), and I'm a cheap bastard, so I want to know why some items are more discounted than others.

Chris,

Yeah I wish S&SS would "borrow" him for a few covers. But yeah 2004 looks very good so far for GR. I can't wait.

Not a problem. I know what I like.

My favorite cover has got to be the Freeport monster book. Wayne does another outstanding job.

Another Mythic Vistas book eh? Keep this up and you'll have to license out a POI style book from Mystic Eye Games for all the different locations.

Any possibility of a Freeport 3.5 that's expanded and revised with all of the history, PrCs, feats, spells and other goodies updated?

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

As always Chris it looks like another three books I am going to have to get from you guys...

I won't pick a favorite cover as I think all of them are awesome.

I'm glad to see that SpirosBlaak is getting published. I had the chance to look over an earluier draft during my Eden playtesting days, and there's some neat stuff in there.
