Category: Campaign Setting >Group: For 5.16.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Private: No Submitted By: Migar Frobert (cofoghlu) Assigned to: Maredudd (maredudd800) Summary: [Malhavoc Press] Ptolus Initial Comment: http://www.montecook.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?ptolus If you were to imagine the most deluxe roleplaying game product ever, what would be in it? More than 600 pages of fantasy source and adventure material from one of the industry's greatest designers? Check. Glorious full-color art? Check. Double-sided poster map? Player handouts? A CD-ROM packed with bonus material? Check, check, and check. What is Ptolus? * The ultimate fantasy campaign in which adventurers plumb the depths of a gigantic underground labyrinth filled with treasure, monsters, and traps—or try to make names for themselves in a city filled with intrigues, politics, and mystery. * The very first and longest-running 3rd Edition campaign, run by one of the game's designers for industry celebs including two editors of Dragon® magazine, two editors of Dungeon®, three Wizards of the Coast roleplaying designers and three editors, and even the former D&D business manager. * A detailed city setting crammed with characters, locations, and enough adventures to take characters from 1st to 20th level. * The most deluxe RPG package ever designed; this 672-page book includes more than 130 pages of color artwork and maps, bound-in fabric bookmarks, two dozen handouts, and a CD-ROM containing additional bonus products-including more than 350 pages of additional Ptolus adventures and source material. * A work of unsurpassed usability, featuring extensive indexing and cross-referencing throughout, designed and tested by the author of the Dungeon Master's Guide and the "Dungeoncraft" column in Dungeon to make play even easier and more fun. No wonder we need almost 700 pages to do it right! A Deluxe Adventure-Sourcebook The world of Ptolus was the very first 3rd Edition playtest campaign. It influenced (and was influenced by) the development of the game we all love, and was played in by a veritable Who's Who of the professional gaming scene (Bruce Cordell, Erik Mona, Sean Reynolds, Keith Strohm, Chris Perkins, Jesse Decker, Andy Collins, Michele Carter, Sue Cook, and more). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martijn Verburg (karianna) Date: 2008-05-21 13:14 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=252169 Originator: NO Hi Eric, what's out permissions status on this? - K ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Paul W.

This is a request to code it. And maybe also a suggestion that the PC Gen team might consider asking Malhavoc for permission to use the setting and to get a (pdf) copy up front (the setting is going to be released in August). The thought occurred to me that since Malhavoc are shipping a CD with pdfs of adventures and additional material with the book, then it might be an opportunity to promote PC Gen by getting it bundled in - along with a new dataset to cover the Ptolus material. It's probably too late to handle that, but I thought I'd mention it. I have the setting pre-ordered and I'd be willing to assist in coding it up later if that is all that is possible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Andrew McDougall (tir-gwaith) Date: 2006-03-22 01:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=208239 Is this a request for someone to code it, or a tracker for the development of a set already in progress? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=679269&aid=1455359&group_id=25576 |
