Green Ronin

This is the second of Green Ronin's Advanced Rulebooks for the d20 System, THE essential supplements of 2004. The Advanced Player's Manual complements the Player's Handbook with new options and abilities. Enhance your d20 fantasy game with luck rules, a new dynamic alignment system, expanded benchmarks for skills, alternate spellcasting classes and scores of supporting new spells, unit combat rules, culturally-based variants for racial abilities, and a whole lot more. Written by D&D 3E and Draconomicon author Skip Williams, the Advanced Player's Manual has something for everyone. If you buy only one sourcebook for the d20 System, this should be the one.

Details 6 different organisations that employ unique styles of magic to achieve their ends. The description of each society includes information of the groups history, goals, hierarchy and leaders, as well as a map of it's headquarters.

The greatest tales of epic fantasy sometimes begin with a humble little bauble: a gem with mysterious powers, an amulet with a terrible curse ... or a ring that renders the wearer invisible. As the story goes on, though, these amazing items gradually reveal the full extent of their powers--and, often, the true nature of their destinies.

Continuing the rules developed in Artifacts of the Ages: Swords and Staves, this book presents magic gems and jewelry that grow in power as wielders advance in level, allowing you to introduce artifact-caliber magic items to your campaign without giving the player characters too much power too early. Artifacts of the Ages: Rings provides gamemasters with rules for not just rings, but necklaces, bracelets, crowns, gems, and other such items of extraordinary power.

Artifacts of the Ages: Rings is the second in a series of innovative sourcebooks examining new ways to treat magic items in fantasy d20 System campaigns.

If Freeport is known for anything, it's pirates. Sure, the city has a history of attracting criminal groups, corrupt merchants, and politicians—to say nothing of subversive cults dedicated to insane and dreadful gods—but it's the pirates who infest the city and prowl the Serpent's Teeth that give the City of Adventure its dubious reputation. From its first founding as a haven for buccaneers and cutthroats, established on the pirate's code to attain an uneasy peace between voyages, Freeport has evolved from a filthy little town to a sprawling city of thousands. Yet in that time, pirates remain the most common and most popular of its citizens.

Buccaneers of Freeport returns to Freeport's roots and examines the colorful and disturbing rogues that roam the seas around the City of Adventure. Describing eight pirates, many new, some infamous, in lavish detail, each entry explores the rogue's history, his or her goals and agendas, while hinting at the curse that keeps them at sea and the treasures they guard. In addition, the pirate's key crewmen receive extensive attention, presenting them in all their cunning and brutality to breathe life into the thrill-seeking corsairs. Finally, the pirate ship, allies, and enemies round out the chapter, culminating with a campaign framework to help you build adventures centered on these various characters.

Buccaneers of Freeport is a game sourcebook designed for all roleplaying games. Free from mechanics, its contents can be adapted for Green Ronin's True20 Adventure Roleplaying or any other popular RPG, ensuring this sourcebook is useful no matter what campaign setting or game system you use. Francisco and Drac may have planned great things for Freeport, but the City of Adventure has always been and shall ever be the port of call for pirates around the world. Find out their wicked deeds and heroic exploits in Buccaneers of Freeport!

This companion book to Bow & Blade fully details a wood elf village designed to fit easily in any fantasy campaign setting. The remote tree-top village makes an excellent home base for a wilderness-based campaign, or an exotic place for existing characters to visit.

In addition to over 40 fully detailed NPCs and a complete description of the village, Corwyl includes supporting source material like new classes, feats, and spells. Corwyl: Village of the Wood Elves has something to offer any d20 fantasy campaign.

From the moment of Freeport's inception, the subversive cults of terrible and fearsome gods have plotted and connived to find a way to bend the city toward their own sinister goals. From the dreaded Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign to the alien priests of the snake-god Yig, it seems Freeport is infested with these strange and unsettling groups. Whether allied to some dreaded demon prince or serving a bloody ghost who demands his children kill for the love of killing, the cults of Freeport are a constant and dangerous threat, forces of such evil they nearly defy description. Most Freeporters may wonder what villainy is afoot, but many have learned to not look too closely, for sometimes it's better not to know what malfeasance brews in their neighbor's home ... or beneath their very feet.

Cults of Freeport peels back the swashbuckling facade of this infamous city to take an unflinching look at some of the most disturbing groups that call this city home. Inside this blistering sourcebook, you'll find eight lavishly detailed cults, including a detailed description of the cult's goals, motivations, tactics, and their impact on the city. In addition, each entry includes an overview of its membership, its recruitment policies, and tons of plot frameworks to help you feature these groups in adventures of your own design.

Cults of Freeport follows the pattern established in The Pirate's Guide to Freeport in that it dispenses with game statistics to ensure this sourcebook useful no matter what campaign setting you use or game system you play. The Brotherhood of the Yellow Sign was just the beginning. Learn the unspeakable truth about Freeport's corruption in Cults of Freeport!

Enter the world of Damnation Decade, a Mythic Vistas setting for the d20 Modern roleplaying game. Inspired by the darkly satiric sci-fi cinema of the 1970s, the game throws the heroes into an off-kilter version of 1976—where the worst-case predictions of a paranoid era came true. The world's environment is collapsing, the oil is running out, and mysterious powers are asserting themselves: The skies are black with UFOs, huge-footed beast men haunt the forests, and prehistoric beasts lurk at the bottom of every lake. And that's the good news. The world will end on December 31, 1979—unless a fearless and funky band of heroes can battle the secret masters of the world into submission. Damnation Decade lets you take on the role of a classic 1970s icon—iron-jawed trucker, disco king, jive-talking radical, and more—and put the hurt on a host of otherworldly enemies, from sinister aliens and mind-robbing demons to killer bees and megalomaniac mainframes. For added dystopia, Damnation Decade also includes a conversion appendix for Green Ronin's True20 System.
