Nyambe Tie Ins?

[JoeGKushner]

So Im reading Nyambe, making my notes, enjoying the writting style and keep wondering... what about potential crossovers?

1. We have the Water People. Any chance of a Necroplis tie in?

2. We have the Far East. This screams for at least a little bit of fun with Rogukan and AEG.

I haven't got too far past that but those two elements, especially since they're all hardcovers that I enjoy, started dancing in my head.

It'd be interesting to see how companies could pull something like this off.

On another note, are there any 'splattbook' plans to help support Nyambe? I can see some interesting possibilities already.

Will the upcoming Beastiary have any Nyabme specific creatures?

Actually, there are crossovers with Nyambe already happening.
The following from the Winter Fantasy 2003 event schedule available at www.winterfantasy.com (and more specifically at http://www.wizards.com/rpga/Event_Descriptions.pdf ):

Living Arcanis
The Secret of Samar by Henry Lopez
An activated portal has been uncovered that does not pierce space with the soothing blue light of Anshar, but the bloody glow of the scaled horrors of Arcanis. The PCs must track down a small force of Ssethregorans that have escaped to the lost continent of Nyambe before they are able to rain ruin on the ancient homeland of the val’Abebi. For Living Arcanis characters of all levels.

Living Arcanis Battle Interactive
The Battle of Samar by Derrel Weaver
From across the continent, soldiers, mercenaries and adventurers swell the ranks of the Shining Patrol to safeguard the enlightened people of the Altherian Republic as well as the only source of Blastpowder known. For centuries, this elite force has acted as the first line of defense against the teeming horde of the reptilian Ssethregoran Empire, but now they have failed. Carved into the plateau that is the Altherian Peninsula, the fortress city of Samar has fallen to these coiled terrors and must be liberated before the Ssethregorans pierce the inner citadel and uncover a secret from an ancient time that could spell the doom of Altheria. For Living Arcanis characters of all levels.

I'm sure more information will be made available closer to Winter Fantasy.

At the present time, no. We've got an adventure coming out late next month (should go to press this week, ::crossing fingers:, DIRE SPIRITS, and Chris Dolunt mentioned on our Delphi boards that he's working up some more stuff for Nyambe.com, too (like more prestige classes?). I'd sure love to see more material, and I'd also love to be publishing it, if it's warranted. In particular, it might make sense to pursue books that would be valuable regardless of whether you have the Nyambe hardcover (e.g., a monster book).

Will the upcoming Beastiary have any Nyabme specific creatures?

No, though of course a lot of the monsters could be imported to Nyambe, and Chris does, IIRC, have a bunch of submissions that we accepted.

Oh, and I am PSYCHED about the Living Arcanis crossover! We talked with the Paradigm guys at Gen Con about this, and I'm just thrilled that it's happening. Here's hoping a bunch of Nyambans start tromping all over Arcanis soon with their elephant axes and whatnot...
