Imagine, if you will, the lands of Africa some two to three thousand years ago, but with cities and cultures that rival Ancient Rome for their glory. Now, in your mind's eye you have a glimmer of what is Svimohzia, a land of diverse cultures, shining cities, terrifying dangers and ancient wonders. This is a land unlike any other - and a land that's waiting for you. This 256-page hardcover contains all the details you need to play Dungeons & Dragons v3.5 adventures in this setting, including: Races and Regional Feats, Classes and Paths, Prestige Classes, Weapons, Armor and Equipment, Spells and Magic Items, Detailed Kingdoms, Towns and Cities, Culture and Society in Depth, Easy-To-Use Quick Reference Sections, Monsters and NPCs, Adventure Hooks and Tips, Detailed Maps of Svimohzia and Much More! Although usable in any campaign, this tome is especially suited for Dungeons & Dragons adventures in the Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign setting - a realistic, dynamic world where complex political alliances mix with marauding bands of humanoids, and medieval technology and culture come face to face with magic and the fantastic. Whatever type of adventure you seek, you can find it here.

Welcome to the Shattered Frontier. With a tooled leather-style cover and 400 full color pages crammed with beautiful period artwork for only $49.99, the Aces &amp; Eights: Shattered Frontier RPG is the highest quality, most complete western ever marketed in the adventure game industry. Just be sure to keep plenty of tissue nearby - the drool-factor on this product is through the roof! First, there s the innovative and visual Shot Clock game aids, which eliminate the abstraction and complexity of other RPGs a player can actually see the cover, position and location of his or her target! Of course, the Shot Clock game aids aren t the only innovation in the Aces &amp; Eights game. For instance, the game has a new poker chip-based brawling system that solves the problem of temporary damage; characters actually become winded, tired or knocked senseless in the fight. The realistically deadly combat supports an overall game system that rewards characters for pursuing professions, giving players the in-game incentives to do much more than follow the outlaw trail. In addition, the Aces &amp; Eights RPG is the first western to not just allow, but focus on, the rest of the major western movie adventures beyond the gunfight. Prospecting, cattle drives, frontier justice, and so on, all have a complete mini game system tailored for that type of adventure. In fact, the Aces &amp; Eights game has over two score available professions covering the full range of possibilities in the Wild West! With no levels or classes (and only gaining experience in skills used), characters can change professions at will, just like the Old West! The full-color maps and 24 pages of history provide such details as minor politicians and military officers (based on real historical figures), making the background spring to life like no other game has. And with the USA, CSA, Republic of Texas, Deseret, Mexico, France, England and dozens of Indian nations all vying for control of this alternate history setting, the Shattered Frontier is far wilder than the historical Wild West ever was! Yes, this is one RPG you absolutely cannot afford to miss!

This is it the monster book for those who know that a creature's story goes far beyond a collection of combat statistics. This encyclopedic sourcebook details the history, habitat, behaviors, and ecology of over 170 creatures and monsters, including never-before-seen creatures as well as old favorites. Each beautifully illustrated entry includes not only game mechanics, but also first-hand excerpts from researcher field notes, naturalist sketches drawn from life, range maps, local legends, and more. The fruit of years of extensive travel and personal experience, each narrator presents a complete picture of every creature incorporating personal accounts, known habitats, tracker's guides, combat tactics, and yield data to round out his general observations of the beasts. This is an invaluable resource for Players and GameMasters alike, and only the foolish would travel the realms deprived of this valuable material. Don't miss it!
