IRONWOOD OMNIMEDIA PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
�
Ironwood announces the full release of the FANTASY SAGAS PRODUCT LINE!
�
ORLANDO, FL—April 10, 2007— Ironwood Omnimedia Company (IOC) is proud to announce the full release of the Fantasy E-RPG System; Fantasy Sagas: Player’s Guidebook and The Game Master’s Lodestar. These two products are all the rules necessary for players to get started with the Fantasy Sagas Game.  It follows a release, nine months ago, of its free beta edition.
�
Sagas is a universal role-playing game (using the E-RPG System) designed so that players can interchange rules and settings seamlessly between the three rule sets: Fantasy, Modern, and Sci-Fi. Above all else, Sagas is a character-focused game. Players create and develop characters that are individuals with strengths, weaknesses, and skills that the players feel are appropriate for their character.
�
The release also marks the end of the initial launch for the Fantasy Sagas game line. While future Fantasy Sagas products are still in development, Ironwood has renewed their focus on the Modern Sagas product line for an intended summer release. The Fantasy Sagas titles previously forecasted and available now are:

The following interview was done by Zackary with RPG Blog. Unfortunately, RPG Blog has closed down. However, we were able to dig up a copy of the interview to reproduce here.

The Fantasy Sagas Paradigm is now available!

Paradigm is over 150 pages of character archetype goodness. The book features 50 fully developed characters ready for play. Among the 50 characters are 10 specifically developed for Game Masters as NPC’s to help flesh out their campaigns. This book is a huge resource for both players and Game Masters. This is a priceless resource for Game Masters and players alike.

 For more information check it out here.

We just finished another round of updates to both the Fantasy Sagas Player’s Guidebook and the Game Master Lodestar.

There was a small list of minor textual changes. However, the biggest changes involved the PDF formats. We updated and enhanced the book marking and added cross-references throughout the books. Basically this means that wherever you see a page reference you can click the text to instantly be jumped to that page.

These changes were made simply to update the content to make it more user friendly. So, if you haven’t updated in the past week or so do so now! If you purchased the printable PDF’s you will have to update through your lulu.com file management pages. You can get the updated free versions by clicking here.

Thanks to everyone who sent in suggestions on ways to improve the books. We take all suggestions very seriously (as can be seen in the new updates). If you have any suggestions please send us a line either on our forums or via email.

Coming in February Ironwood Omnimedia will release 12 new products.

The 12 new products range across 8 new titles, four of which will be released in both E-RPG and d20 formats.

The new product line features 6 new titles from the Journal Series. The series contains record keeping resources for players to track and maintain character information and stories throughout their campaigns. (more…)

Version 1.3 of the Fantasy Sagas Player’s Guidebook is now available.  

Ruel Knudson speaks out about the changes, and errata from the previous version.

“We discovered, rather late, that the first release was actually a corrupted version of the book. During the final compiling and uploads the files got overwritten by older files which weren’t accurate. We began receiving emails about this late last month and members of the Ironwood Community were very helpful in pointing out the sections that had been corrupted.”

Ruel Knudson and the Ironwood Development team weren’t simply satisfied with making those corrections, however. Instead, the entire book went through another overhaul.

We sat down to answer a few questions from Zachary at rpgblog.org. We discussed the development of E-RPG and the future of Sagas.
