For Immediate Release
Date: 07/12/03
July 12, 2003 (Columbus, OH) -- Amascus, Inc. is proud to announce the formation of Myrik Games, a company dedicated to building challenging games for experienced gamers, under the authorization of the immensely popular d20 System Trademark License, based on the game Dungeons and Dragons®.
Myrik Games is pleased to issue a sneak preview of its premier product release, Tauralathan's Grimoire, a 36-page book of all new spells, prestige classes, feats, and magic items, compatible with the Dungeons and Dragons system.
Why develop a new d20 gaming company? "Myrik Games is our labor or love," said Andy Shockney, author of Tauralathan's Grimoire. "Dave and I have played this game together for over 15 years. We have supported the industry in a variety of ways, and this is yet another means for us to share the spoils of our loot with the rest of the world."
Tauralathan's Grimoire will be the first release during the summer of 2003, and will be followed by the second product release titled Mysteries and Magic, tentatively scheduled for release in the Fall of 2003. Mysteries and Magic is a 36-page book of distinctive and exceptional magic items. Each item will come complete with its own detailed history and twisted mystery that players will have to unravel in order to fully realize the power of these unique items.
"My entire gaming group has played together for ten to fifteen years. They're tactically sound, they love to maximize their characters, and they play well together," explained Andy, "but I end up spending too much time buffing and building up book modules or else my players will eat it for lunch! We want to create encounters, prestige classes, feats, and spells that can be used by the DM to help even the odds, and keep things challenging!"
Myrik Games is dedicated to building better games, geared for experienced gamers. "Our focus will be on the development of effects and artifacts that will be useful between levels 5 and 25, with a primary focus around the levels of 12 to 18," said David Wierbiki, creative director and artist for Tauralathan's Grimoire. "You'll have enough resources to be a force to reckon with, but the villains will become especially challenging and the adventure a wonderful nightmare."
All Myrik Games products will be compatible with the 3.5 Edition of the Player's Handbook for Dungeons and Dragons.
"We hope you enjoy being a part of our community, and our world," said Andy, "just as we have always enjoyed being a part of the ENWorld online community of gamers."
