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.

 Play Living Arcanis at the Gathering

Origins 2007!

 Paradigm Concepts is planning yet another blockbuster schedule of LIVING ARCANIS events at Origins 2007. "The Gathering" at Origins is our home show, and we pull out all the stops to make it THE place to be for Arcanis every year.

This year we are offering five premiere adventures -- including THREE Henry Lopez adventures culminating with the finale of the Year 4 Hard Point story arc -- along with a premiere Dungeon Delve including Origins-exclusive encounters, an Origins-exlcusive LARP, and an Origins-exclusive Battle Interactive.

Those who play all the LA events at Origins 2007 will have the opportunity to influence the direction of the Coryani Civil War, to learn more about the pending invasion of Canceri by Milandir, and to help determine the very survival of the Republic of Altheria. And that's just the stuff we're letting you know about ahead of time!

Paradigm Concepts will be exhibiting at booth #537.

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!

LA-SP5-01 The Darkest Depths by Chris Sanders

This is a STANDARD LIVING ARCANIS adventure for characters of 1st through 16th level (APL 2-15). It is recommended that you play this adventure before playing LA-SP5-02.

LA-SP5-02 Beyond the Threshold of Never by Chris Sanders
The Elorii in Seremas speak of living in harmony with humanity, yet they live beyond a great wall that divides the city in half. Now one man seeks to remove this illusion of integration, if the Seremasi will allow it. This is a STORY-FOCUSED LIVING ARCANIS adventure for characters of 1st through 16th level (APL 2-15). It is recommended that you play this adventure after playing LA-SP5-01.

This is a continuous-play two-round (eight-hour) COMBAT-FOCUSED Battle Interactive for the LIVING ARCANIS campaign. Supports characters of 1st through 16th level (APL 2-17).

APRIL FOOLS! 

Greetings...

As it is now after midnight in my time zone, I am pleased to present
the April 2006 Living Arcanis Rules Update, which I am about to upload
to the Files section of this newsgroup.

Please ensure that you update your characters to comply with this
update ASAP.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact a member
of the campaign staff -- I recommend e-mailing James Zwiers, as I am
about to go on a very long vacation, most likely involving cement
overshoes (especially when Henry sees the new rules for Elorii).  :P

Rules update after the jump!

Though Paradigm Concepts would rather that the RPGA elect to include Living Arcanis in its slate of events at GenCon Indy, their decision not to frees Paradigm to run a larger and more ambitious program of exclusive Living Arcanis events at the show. We are pleased to be able to offer the following to the great folks willing to spend a portion of their GenCon running Living Arcanis.

Paradigm Concepts has secured rooms and badges for Living Arcanis judges at GenCon Indy.

All one must do to claim a Living Arcanis volunteer room at GenCon Indy is to volunteer to run the seven Living Arcanis sessions at GenCon Indy. That works out to be two soft-points on Thursday, three soft-points on Friday, and one soft point plus the battle interactive on Saturday.

All one must do to claim a badge is to volunteer to run four sessions of Living Arcanis at Indy. So either four standard 4-hour Living Arcanis RPGA modules or the Living Arcanis Battle Interactive and two standard 4-hour Living Arcanis RPGA modules.

 Also, Living Arcanis volunteer judges that run at least three slots, that is either three standard 4-hour events or the Living Arcanis Battle Interactive and an additional 4-hour event, will recieve and exclusive GM "cert-shirt" available only to Living Arcanis staff and volunteer judges.

Just a reminder, Paradigm Concepts has secured badges for Living Arcanis judges at GenCon Indy. All one must do to claim these badges is to volunteer to run four sessions of Living Arcanis at Indy.

Team Paradigm is working hard to add more even more features to our judge volunteer program.
