MALHAVOC PRESS WELCOMES NEW PRODUCTS FROM SEAN K REYNOLDS AND BRUCE R.
CORDELL
Psionics Class Book and All-Open Character Book Announced
April 4, 2002 (Renton, Wash.)-In a big day for Monte Cook's d20 imprint
Malhavoc Press, Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting(r) coauthor Sean K
Reynolds has stepped up to join our design ranks, and Psionics Handbook
designer Bruce R. Cordell announces his next Malhavoc title.
Sean is penning Malhavoc's first character book, Skreyn's Register: The
Bonds of Magic. It details 50 new spellcasters, both arcane and divine, each
with a unique spell, feat, or magic item. All the characters in the book
will be open game content.
Meanwhile, Bruce announces that he's just begun work on his second psionics
supplement for Malhavoc Press. Mindscapes offers new psionic prestige
classes, a variant psionic combat system, many new psionic monsters, and
more.
Each book will appear initially as two separate 32-page electronic releases,
followed by a single-volume 64-page print release. Look for part one of The
Bonds of Magic, Cabal, in early September, followed by part two, The
Faithful, in mid-October. The print version of the full book is due out in
December. Mindscapes: A Psion's Guide debuts in February 2003, with its
companion Beasts of the Id for sale in March. The full print edition of the
book follows in May.
Malhavoc Press founder, game designer Monte Cook, is pleased to be working
with his former Wizards of the Coast coworkers. "My main concern with
Malhavoc Press has been and always will be maintaining an extremely high
standard of quality," Monte says. "With designers like Sean Reynolds and
Bruce Cordell writing Malhavoc products, I can remain confident that we'll
continue to uphold those standards."
The Bonds of Magic is Sean's first d20 work outside of his Wizards of the
Coast titles. He says he's looking forward to working closely with Monte on
the book. "We've been friends for a long time now, and it's nice to write
something for someone you respect and of whom you think highly," he says.
Bruce agrees. "I'm excited to be working with both of these talented
writers," he says. "I'm also glad to be able to offer fans the kinds of
psionics alternatives they've been looking for in Mindscapes."
Monte invited both designers to join his team to help add quality titles to
Malhavoc Press's release schedule. "We went out looking for the best
designers in the business," Monte says. "And we got them. I can't think of
two better choices."
Born in Watertown, S.D., Bruce worked as a research associate in process
chemistry, but he couldn't resist the call of game design. In 1995 he
abandoned science for a designer position at TSR (and now Wizards of the
Coast). His design credits include The Sunless Citadel, Heart of Nightfang
Spire, and the Origins Award-winning Return to the Tomb of Horrors. Bruce
has just completed his first novel. To read more about him, visit

Sean was born in a coastal town in southern California. A professional game
designer since 1998, he coauthored the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting and
the Living Greyhawk(r) Gazetteer for 3rd Edition D&D(r), as well as many
other books. After leaving Wizards of the Coast this spring, he spends his
free time reading and creating computer animation. Read more about him at

Malhavoc Press is the publisher of the award-winning The Book of Eldritch
Might by Monte Cook, codesigner of 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons(r).
Hallmarks of Malhavoc products include unusual magic, monsters, and
evocative elements that go beyond traditional fantasy, as well as a mastery
of the d20 System rules. All titles are available in electronic format, as
well as in print versions from Sword & Sorcery(tm). For more information and
free supplemental game material, visit <www.montecook.com>.
