The Gods of Arcanis have granted their favored families with great magical power, the power of psionics. This monumental tome, fully compatible with the hugely-successful Living Arcanis interactive roleplaying campaign, contains all the rules necessary for incorporating psionics into any campaign, Arcanis or otherwise. Revised and honed through the rigorous play testing of thousands of Living Arcanis players, Psionics of Arcanis is a superior and complete rulebook, no other psionics rulebook is necessary. This book contains psionic base classes, prestige classes, feats, powers, and equipment.

Look for Psionics of Arcanis in finer hobby game stores everywhere in September! And at Origins International Games Fair & Expo July 5-8.

Within this mortal coil, imprisoned in a cage of bone and sinew, humanity suffers under an unrelenting assault upon mind, body, and spirit. Those few who have heard the calling of the Suffering Goddess, and have been deemed strong of will and flesh, have taken it upon themselves to provide an example of stoic acceptance of life’s pain and to intercede on behalf of those who are not as strong. Known as the Bearers of Woe, these Holy Champions of Anshar struggle to understand the mysteries of their faith; the tormented aspect of their Bleeding Goddess.

This class is easily inserted into any campaign that uses a God of Suffering.

The PDF includes:

A complete new class, The Bearers of Woe, Paladins dedicated to the God of Suffering
New spells usable by The Bearers of Woe and other classes including Bards, Clerics, Sorcerers, and Wizards

Our new products:

"Theocracy of Canceri"

The benighted nation in the north of Onara, Canceri, is a nation of contrasts. Its urbane and cultured priesthood practices the most brutal rites of sacrifice and worship in modern Arcanis. Necropoli stand in perfect repair as the homes of the living decay in ruin. Brutal slavery is the law of the land, yet every soul: priest, noble or common holds the right to ultimate ascension. In all things, wickedness is the norm. Virtue is weakness, and paradise awaits those that embrace their baser nature.
"Theocracy of Canceri" is a 144 page sourcebook for Arcanis: the World of Shattered Empires.

"Conspiracies"

Conspiracies, red meat for the masses, the tantalizing mysteries and puzzles built to comfort those afraid of the painful truth. The sanctuary of madmen, unwilling to admit the world is a dangerous place without direction. It is somehow less frightening to believe that a sinister cabal is orchestrating every terrible event than to admit that events are out of control, beyond the grasp of human management. Conspiracy Theories are comforting, they tell us that all was once well before the bad people came, and if the villains could be removed, all would be well again. Those that believe such things are part of a lunatic fringe, seeking impossible explanations for either inexplicable tragedy or the frighteningly simple truth that all is not well with the world. At least, that is what the powers that be want the cattle of the world to believe. Take care whilst reading this sourcebook, ignorance of the truth is a protection all its own.
"Conspiracies" is an 80 page sourcebook for Spycraft 2.0

"Tales of the Caliphate Nights"

The stories come from Arabia, Persia, India, even China. They tell not only of fearsome djinni and fantastical palaces, but also of profound spiritual insight and transformation. They reflect the enormous Islamic civilization during the ninth to thirteenth centuries, which stretched from Spain across North Africa to Cairo, across the Arabian peninsula, up to Damascus and Baghdad, further north to Samarkand, across what is now Afghanistan, down into India, and beyond. A traveler could wander across this vast region speaking Arabic, studying and praying in mosques, and trading with fellow Moslems. The stories are decadent, prejudiced, and fantastical, as well as redeeming, illuminating, and grounded. The stories are best known as the Thousand and One Arabian Nights. The Adventure Begins at Nightfall!
"Tales of the Caliphate Nights" is a 256-page campaign setting sourcebook for the True 20 System

"Not Dead Yet"

The newest of the popular "cert shirts" for use while playing Living Arcanis will be available in limited numbers.

Living Arcanis Campaign Cards will be available at the Paradigm Concepts Booth. These are similar to the RPGA reward cards and are usable with any Living Arcanis character.

There is also a large slate of Living Arcanis events at the show!

The head smiles knowingly at you, and stops speaking. The spark of life leaves its eyes as blood oozes from its neck. Suddenly you hear a scream, and look up to see a woman standing in mute horror on one of the stairways above. She is looking at the body and the head on the bench, and she starts screaming loudly, "Murderers! Someone bring the Watch! The Horned King has been killed!"
