Skirmisher Adds Items to Store

Skirmisher Publishing LLC has begun to expand its recently opened eBay store and has added a number of new items that might be of interest to our readers--including an Orc Catapult Crew that includes eight prepainted Orc miniatures, a working model of a heavy catapult, and full d20/OGL game statistics.

Skirmisher also substantially reduced the price of all "Buy It Now" items in its store, discounting them all as much as 70% off full regular retail prices!

Purchase anything in Skirmisher's eBay store and say you read about it on this Website and Skirmisher will throw in a free book of your choice.

Nuisances Addenda: Hemmet’s Spells

Following are spells which we neglected to include for repulsive pimp Sorcerer Hemmet, one of the Archtypical NPCs presented in Chapter 7 of our extremely popular OGL book Nuisances. How the hell did we end up leaving these out? Well, we did, and can only cite the opening words of the book in our defense (i.e.,“Shit happens”). Special thanks are due to Wayne Tonjes of GamingReport.com for bring this to our attention. Nuisances owners can insert the following into page 68, between the paragraphs titled“Class/Racial Abilities” and “Possessions ”:

Spells Known (Sorcerer 6/7/6/3, save DC 12 + spell level): 0 (7)—Detect Magic, Flare, Flash*, Mage Hand, Massage*, Message, Read Magic; 1st (5)—Animate Rope, Charm Person, Grease, Mount, Reduce Person; 2nd (3)—Eagle’s Splendor, Make Hole*, Rectal Hand*; 3rd (2)—Haste, Layingman’s Lubrication*.

Plus, add to his Possessions a scroll with two castings of the 4th level Sorcerer spell Layingman’s Love Shack*.

*New Spells: Spells followed by asterisks are new and have not actually been written up yet. Submissions are welcome and, if selected, will be posted here. And if we do post yours here, we will send you a free, signed copy of Nuisances (or any one of our other books if you already have it).

Nation Builder Available

Troll Lord Games has announced that Gary Gygax’s Nation Builder is available for immediate shipping. Nation Builder marks the sixth installment in the Gygaxian Fantasy World series of fantasy world and dungeon design books written or edited by Gary Gygax.

Laboriously researched and written by game designer and history author Michael J. Varhola, Nation Builder fleshes out themes first presented in World Builder (GFW II, Gygax and Cross) and Living Fantasy (GFW III, Gygax), but with its primary focus on the political, social and economic entities that comprise states in both modern realistic and fantastic settings. Each subject is supported with an ongoing series of detailed examples and miniature case studies, making Nation Builder both a guide to creating campaign settings and a ready-made sourcebook and sample milieu for writers, designers and the like.

Gary Gygax’s Nation Builder is fully compatible with any role playing games but does contain content specific to the d20 and Lejendary Adventure RPGs. Nation Builder is 140 pages, hardcover, with an SMRP of $27.95.

Nation Builder is available with a slip sleeve large enough to hold all six existing volumes in the series. The sleeve is also sold separately. Contact your local retailer, distributor or supply outlet for more details.

For more information visit the Troll Lord Games Website, to speak with or harangue the authors or any one of the Troll Lords visit the Troll Lord Games message boards! And be sure
to check out the other books in the series Gary Gygax’s Canting Crew, Gary Gygax’s World Builder, Gary Gygax’s Living Fantasy, Gary Gygax’s Insidiae and Gary Gygax's Extraordinary Book of Names.
