March 20, 2005. For immediate release and dissemination:
Lions Den Press is pleased to announce the formation of a new partnership with leading electronic publisher Ronin Arts to produce PDF products for D20 fantasy and other RPG lines.
Although Lions Den is a newcomer as a creative studio, its founders are anything but new to the industry. C.A. Suleiman and Ari Marmell have been writing and developing RPGs for years, and have worked for such companies as Green Ronin, Paizo Publishing, White Wolf, Sword & Sorcery Studios, and Wizards of the Coast.
While neither Marmell nor Suleiman intend to cut back on the work they’re doing for other companies, they founded Lions Den Press to be an outlet for products and concepts they could call their own.
Ronin Arts, of course, is one of the most consistently successful electronic RPG publishers to date. Lions Den is thrilled that Phil Reed has agreed to distribute its material, and looks forward to a long and successful partnership.
Out of the gate, Lions Den offers up a number of exciting new products, covering topics from magic items to prestige classes to planar adventures. As the studio progresses, however, its founders intend to narrow their focus to cover organically growing lines of material. You can already see the earliest phases of this in their first releases. Currently, the Lions Den library includes the following:
Desert Heroes: Adventuring in Ancient Egypt? Struggling to survive the coming sandstorm? Desert Heroes is your answer. Written by the creator of Green Ronin’s Egyptian Adventures: Hamumaptra (mentioned favorably in the April issue of Dragon), this PDF provides five desert-oriented prestige classes, ready to be dropped into any campaign. Fully compatible with both existing and forthcoming desert sourcebooks from major publishers, Desert Heroes has the characters you’ll need to tackle the wastelands and survive. Desert Heroes is the first in Lions Den’s brand new Prestige Classes series.
Magical Locks: Why should doors and floors and ceilings have all the fun? This product introduces a dozen mystical locks, each fully designed according to the D20 rules and ready for use in any campaign. From the destructive to the frustrating to the downright bizarre, Magical Locks ensures that “I pick the lock!” is something your players will never again utter without thinking twice.
Planar Factions: A Ronin Arts favorite, and the first product ever released under the Lions Den imprint. Weighing in at over 120 pages, Planar Factions provides a dozen factions and organizations that operate on multiple worlds, and are fully functional whether your campaign focuses on planar travel, or simply acknowledges the existence of other worlds. The Planar Factions can be purchased individually, one organization per PDF, or in a collected omnibus edition. Planar Factions is the first in Lions Den’s ongoing Secrets of the Planes series.
Planar Magic: Put the power of the planes in the palm of your hand! Planar Magic introduces the planar mage, a new 20-level base class whose spellcasting abilities are determined by the plane to which he has chosen to attune himself. Use the planar mage alongside your wizards and sorcerers, or even in place of them. In addition to the class and several supplementary feats, Planar Magic also includes no fewer than 60 new spells. Although designed primarily with the planar mage in mind, these spells are 100% functional even in campaigns that do not focus on or even employ this new class. If you want your magics to have a more planar feel, or are simply looking for something new to offer your sorcerer or wizard, this is the place to look. Planar Magic is the second in Lions Den’s ongoing Secrets of the Planes series.
