An update folks, good news.

We'll actually be shipping EARLIER than expected. Winterweir will be released in March now instead of April, due to the speed of our development staff and under the advisory of our advertising representative.

I hope this will come as good news for all the people waiting patiently for their copies of the book.

The Gods of Winterweir

    The role of the gods is a constant theme in fantasy settings.  Too often, it degenerates into the idea of the Game Master using the gods as little more than glorified NPCs.  Still, mythological settings often have the gods as movers and shakers for events.  Is there anything more terrifying than an army lead by a evil deity?  Is it not appropriate for Perseus to receive Pegasus from the command of Zeus himself?

"The Evil that men do."

This Design Journal will discuss the cover villain of Halt Evil Doer!, General Venom.  A cruel and calculating former hero who became disenchanted with the ultra-patriotism that he once embodied.  Is General Venom evil or just misguided?  Is he actually right in his belief that the United States is under the control of an evil outside influence?  Only the player characters can decide for themselves.

"Who are the The Patriots?"

Who are the Patriots?

The La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo.

No, seriously, the Patriots are the chief adventuring organization in the world of Heroic Earth.  They're an overworked and outgunned bunch that misses 2/3rds of the super hero world's crime because they're trying to stop the other third.  Also, they get their butts kicked by the bad guys just as often as they put them down.  Nevertheless, they're what passes for the World's Greatest Heroes until your characters can surpass them.
