(non-named rpg world) Game Night - NEW TITLE by Jonny Nexus - in 9th April 2008 ukL 7.99
A 10,000-year quest is about to be completed: prophecies will be fulfilled, ancient riddles answered, legendary evils worsted, and the true nature of the universe revealed. All that's lacking is the band of heroes to accomplish all this...
Unfortunately, some of the Gods have taken a personal interest in the matter, and are guiding one of the characters towards the conclusion of this epic - that is, one each.
So the Gods are doing what comes naturally - squabbling & back-stabbing one-another, accidentally blowing things up, petulantly refusing to play by the rules, and turning the All-Father's Great Creation into a mess of petty arguments, avoidable combat, fantasy cliches and unnecessary dice-rolls...
"If you thought your games group couldn't be any worse, Game Night [shows] just how bad things can get when a bunch of unruly deities decide they want to play."

White Wolf's Upgrade Your Role-Playing Game Offer

n.b. this is a stricly limited period offer

it appears you'll be signing up here for the offer and handing in your D&D Players Handbook 3.5 between 1st & 14th April 2008, and a copy of Exalted RPG 2nd Edition will be sent for for you to pick up here c. 26th-31st May 2008
if you're beginning to feel you could do with a rest from D&D-style stereotyping of "character types" and of interminable "dungeon-bashing" style games, this is a chance to start exploring the very different world of one of the most popular fantasy role-playing games of the last five years, one in which the concerns of player characters (and npcs, mostly) rise way above the amassing of unfeasible weights - and volumes - of coins struck in metals so rare, that no-one you meet would consider accepting them, jewels so fine, that no-one you meet could afford to buy them for a fraction of their true value, and weapons & other items of power so great, that their use will either cause the breakdown of the fabric of the world, letting in some irresistable demonic force to wrest control of the wielder from them for all time - or else, reduce all subsequent adventures to strolls in an amusement park...
you could do an awful lot worse than investigate this offer.
come in and have a look at the Exalted RPG and the breadth of adventure its world, characters & the politics of power-play within have to offer
full details should be here real soon now...

minimum order (3 copies) required
d20: Pathfinder: Guide to Korvosa - NEW SOURCEBOOK - available 2nd April 2008 ukL 9.99
claiming to be the most cultured and civilised city in the region, it may also justly be granted the titles of the most decadent, the most socially stratified and the most exploitative - its traders are known far and wide with their black and red-flagged ships, and their hard bargaining for all the produce and manufactures of the south.
independant for just a century, it has prospered greatly since Cheliax released its hold upon the colony, and this book details its wealth, major points of interest, the great and the - perhaps - good movers and shakers of the city, and provides numerous plot hooks for gms

Korvosa is peaceful once more, if still nervous; will the horrific, deforming and face-destroying disease that has broken out also do for the fragile peace, and what's left of civilisation in the city - and could this plague be something more than a natural, if unfortunate result of the collapse of sanitation in the city during the civil war, and movements of masses amongst the starving population? no indication of player character levels given, but the plot follows on from P7: The Edge of Anarchy, available 2nd April 2008, in the ongoing story arc; also playable as a stand-alone
