We've been hinting in recent issues that we have a very big announcement to make. And now, we are going to let you into the big secret
Following extensive consultation with ICE and Terry Amthor, it has been agreed that TGC will publish a d20 System Edition of the Shadow World Master Atlas.
The Shadow World Master Atlas : d20 System Edition (SWMA-d20) will be a complete and comprehensive version of the Master Atlas, fully compatible with D&D 3.5 Edition. It will extend and enhance D&D 3.5 rules to more closely match Terry Amthor's vision of Shadow World.
In particular, it will include:
Detailed notes on using D&D character classes, magic, and skills;
New feats and spells;
New prestige classes such as the Navigators and the Heralds of Night;
All the Shadow World races and cultures in d20 format;
A complete Shadow World bestiary including Kulthean dragons, constructs, Undead, and the Demons of the Planes and the Void;
Exotic herbs, poisons, metals and minerals;
Plus extensive detail on the history, geography, cosmology and everyday life on Kulthea - the Shadow World.
Prolific Spacemaster and Rolemaster author, Robert Defendi, is hard at work on the SWMA-d20. Terry Amthor and I will be working jointly as editors to ensure that SWMA-d20 is true to Terry's vision and wholly compatible with the revised 3.5 d20 System.
The SWMA-d20 will be distributed in the first instance as a PDF product via RPGNow with an expected price of 20 US Dollars. Publication of the SWMA-d20 is expected to be early in 2004.
TGC expects to support the SWMA-d20 with conversion packs for ICE's other Shadow World products and by a series of wholly new dual-statted d20 System/Rolemaster adventure modules.
