Press Release-Mystic Eye Games to publish for Ambient, Inc.
01-22-2002:
Austin, Texas: Mystic Eye Games is thrilled to announce that we have reached an agreement with Ambient, Inc. to be their publishing partner for several titles over the next 18 months.
The first of these will be a print version of the highly acclaimed, Librum Equitis, volume one, and will be slated for release in May 2002. The print version will have new additions and an increased page count with art to be done by a few of the industry’s finest. This book will be a fantastic resource for your d20 game and we are very proud to be working with the fine folks at Ambient.

As we strive to bring the finest in quality products to third edition we want to assist in delivering the best of the electronic publishers’ products to print and into the hands of the consumers. 2002 is going to be a big year for Mystic Eye Games as we expand our product offering and work to constantly increase the quality of the products we deliver. Our new relationship with Ambient is a fine example of MEG’s desire to deliver only the best of d20 to the community.

Mystic Eye Games was founded in 2000 by Doug Herring and Andrew Thompson as one of the early adopters of the d20 system. Since their first release, The Pit of Loch-Durnan, the product line has continued to grow and the focus was on creating a quality offering at an extremely affordable price point. This has remained one of the company’s primary goals.
With the success of The Hunt: Rise of Evil line of products MEG has branched out in 2002 with two new series, Foul Locales and Arcane Mysteries. In addition, Mystic Eye Games also helped to bring the fantastic Interludes: Brief Expeditions to Bluffside to press as a print partner. MEG wanted to assist Thunderhead Games in order to get the finest PDF adventure produced to date to a larger print market.
In 2002 Mystic Eye Games’ product line will expand to over twenty books to include the great new products that will come from Ambient, Inc.

About Ambient, Inc.: The nights of the Canadian winter are dark and cold, but they create a hardier people with a firm grasp of d20 mechanics. Librum Equitis is the first foray of Ambient, Inc., in Eastern Ontario, Canada, into publishing d20 material, although gamers on the Net may be familiar with Ambient's dreadgazebo.com and the Blackhammer Cyberpunk Project.

CEO Denise Robinson and partner M. Jason Parent are very glad to see LE be printed and see distribution in its expanded format. "To think my mother thought the pinnacle of my writing career was the Health Canada Infection Control Guidelines for Body Piercing and Tattooing!" laughs Robinson. "My parents are proud to see my gaming addiction... err.. obsession paying off," boasts Jason, "and why not? Both of our parents were the ones responsible for introducing us to gaming."

When not writing role-playing game materials during long Canadian nights, the two occupy themselves, bettering the world by breeding and raising the next generation of little gamers.

About Librum Equitis volume 1:
Librum Equitis (literally "the book of the chevaliers/respected class") contains 22 new and original Prestige Classes suited to any d20 fantasy game environment, all lovingly handcrafted and playtested to a fine balance of power and playability.

Classes include classic ideas such as the Swashbuckler and the Sniper, as well as several military classes, to bizzarities such as the Corpulent (a priest of greed or gluttony who grows... and grows... and grows...) and the PsychoPyretic (someone who transforms his rage into psionic heat).

Very cool! Any decisions yet as to what the "new additions" will be? Is this Volume 1 plus some extras, or will the planned Volume 2 (mentioned in the PDF) be a part of the print version?

Mainly it will be sample NPCs with descriptions, fixes to anything Ambient felt needed some altering, and a surprise or two.

Plus, an Illustration for each class with a new cover by one of our cover guys.

Actually, we are using a wide group of internal artists and this book will not be cartoony in any way. In fact, I think you will like the team we have going forward.

We like our cover art team as well, they are great guys and fine artists!
