Ironwood is proud to announce the newset line of products for the E-RPG Fantasy Sagas Role-Playing Game: Sidetracks.

Sidetracks are short miniature adventures design to be a complete story that can be played in a single game session. Each adventure focuses on unique and interesting applications for the E-RPG rules systems, or new types of story focuses. These adventures usually include new content such as new creatures, archetypes, magical items, and many other possibilities. Many of these will also include full color battelmaps scaled for play with 1 inch miniatures created with the award winning Dundjinni software.

The first adventure, The Unkindness of Ravens, is available now, with more to come. The series has the potential to run indefinately, with new sidetracks for each of the Sagas generes. Each story will initially be released as full color E-books, which will retail for about $3. As these products are released, a hardcopy collection of up to ten stories will be released in softcover and hardcover print editions.

The concept for these stories is simple. Not only would we provide the small diversions that occur randomly along adventures that give worlds that extra level of realism born in seemingly random developments, but we can explore greater diversity in experimenting with the rules system in ways that can’t be done reasonably through full length adventures and campaigns. Each adventure will offer something new to the game experience, allowing players and Game Masters alike to enjoy not only a storyline diversion, but also explore new paths in gameplay as well.

For more information on Sidetracks visit our website at www.sagasrpg.com. Furthermore you can keep up to date on future products in this series through the Sidetracks RSS Feed and our Sagas RPG News feed.

Ironwood Nexus is going through some changes. Among these changes is a complete site overhaul. All E-RPG and Sagas related content will move to its new site over the course of several weeks to www.sagasrpg.com . During this time, some features may experience some downtime. As components are moved from the current site to the new one they will be closed and redirects.

It is still too soon to predict an exact date for the final turn around. However, we expect within the course of May. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Well, as the title suggest, it has been a busy weekend. It started through the week, as things were developing towards the weekend itself. An Ironwood Nexus Community Member, Ralph, posted some suggestions for a game aid that I developed. I took on the roll of both Project Developer and Executive Officer this week, and I prepared for the first play test for a Fantasy Sagas Game in almost a year. It all led up to yesterday, when it all came together.

Ruel Knudson is currently producing his first full length adventure module for the Fantasy Sagas entitled Desecration. Details are still fairly scant, but we are expecting a large adventure, with multiple paths and tons of new content. This new book is also featuring the artwork of Ironwood newcomer Marco Morte.

Some of the new content is available now as a free download to Nexus Members. The first entries into these Excerpts from Desecration are 3 new traps and 3 new diseases that character will encounter in the game. Furthermore, Ruel has already featured small biographies of 3 of the cast members of this new quest on his blog.

We will feature new content and downloads as Ruel releases them.

Its GM’s Day and we are celebrating with a huge sale at our Dirvethrurpg.com and rpgnow storefronts. This March 4th-6th ALL of Ironwood Omnimedia PDF’s will be reduced by 25% off. This is a big sale, but will only last 3 days.

Many adventures are about dungeons, or epic events. Some are about political drama, or secret cults. Others are about people. Desecration, on the surface, is a rescue mission. The quest, and the adventure the players discover take center stage. However, the driving force behind the adventure are the NPC’s. In this article we are focusing on 3 of these. In particular, we are focusing on the NPCs that the characters will be tasked to rescue.
