Faeries

Faeries is the latest release in Adamant Entertainment’s The Imperial Age line of Victorian/steampunk products for d20 roleplaying. At 77 pages, the book provides a wealth of material on the Fey usable in many games. It includes chapters describing the various types of faeries, special fey talents, and three different fey campaign settings.

Community Contributes

GMT Games is giving away three free copies of Clash of Monarchs to members of the public who helped locate artwork for the game. Clash of Monarchs is a soon-to-be-published card-driven game of the Seven Years War in Europe (1756-1763). While working its way through final development, GMT found that it still needed portraits for a number of leaders and sought help from its customers. Twenty-one contributed scans to cover 25 more commanders for the game.
