Ironwood Omnimedia General News

The long awaited DPnP gaming utility has had a difficult development cycle. After many years of trial and tribulation the revolutionary gaming utility is back at the forefront of Ironwood development!

The Digital Pen n Paper utility is under full production and has become the primary focus of Ironwood development. The first stage of development includes the creation of a demo Fantasy Sagas Player Character Generator. The development of the demo project includes other components of the DPnP programming package as well. Furthermore, a full character management package will be developed and released with the full retail version of the Modern Sagas Player’s Guidebook as an added free bonus to the PDF book.

When completed, the DPnP program will take gaming into a completely new realm. It will bridge gaps and explore completely new possibilities with RPGs both at the table, and online. It will showcase the full potential of the E-RPG system, from its user customization, to the creative freedom that E-RPG players have come to know and love.

E-RPG has shown the possibilities that a role-playing experience can have when you put the creative talents of the Game Masters and Players behind a system that supports that creativity and gives them strong and stable rules to build upon. DPnP will not only expand these into the virtual world, but also give players and Game Masters the tools to explore their characters and their worlds even further. You will be able to take your game to an entirely new level. With new technology that will make your creative efforts realised more easily, you will find that you can explore so much more!

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.

Not too far back I stumbled on a great site for local Orlando gaming news and events at OrlandoGaming.org. The site is frequently updated with news on anything gaming related in the Central Florida area. As well as RPG’s, Orlando Gaming includes news on board games, miniature war gaming, and local store links and events.

I was privleged enough to get a request for a spotlight on their site which is a short six question interview. You may be thinking that a mere six questions shouldn’t cover a whole lot. However, Pat, the site administrator, knows how to pick his questions. The questions he posed to me brought out much more information than I though a six question spotlight could do. It was an interesting test for myself, as the questions were very in-depth and surprisingly personal on the development of Sagas, where it came from, where its going, and what we are about in the here and now.

You can read up here. And for those of you interested in local Orlando gaming you can check out the latest at their portal here.
