Steven Black has posted a short encounter shard at FASA. It is made for Novice level (Second to Fourth Circle). The shard was, as mentioned in the article, inspired by an article about Living Root Bridges. This is hopefully one of many shards to come.

Adventure Goal: Getting the group involved. One potential goal is that the group needs to cross either the Servos or Galanga River and hears rumors about a bridge in the area from local natives.

The full shard can be found at FASA’s Articles page.

FASA has recently announced “March M-m-m-m-mad-madness Earthdawn Sale!”

Here’s a short look at the announcement:

Regardless, we have a bunch of Earthdawn books sitting in our warehouse looking for a new home. So we're doing something that we don't do often. FASA Games are pleased to present our March M-m-m-m-mad-madness Earthdawn Sale!

As long as stocks last, or until the end of March -- whichever happens first! -- prices have been m-m-m-m-massively reduced across our Earthdawn Third, Revised, Pathfinder, and Savage Worlds Edition game lines.

Read the full announcement over here.

The sale can be found on the FASA Games Online Shop.

Some of you might remember the two german fanworks Barsaives Bestiarium and Verborgene Talente made by Nico Pendzialek. His most recent publication, well the title says it all, is an english Poor Attack Test Table. It is made for use with D4 and D6. Have a look.

UPDATE February 16th 2013

The Poor Attack Test table is now available in 3 editions:

Easy penalties	Moderate penalties	Hard penalties

Again a great project:  Over at Game-Icons.net a huge collection of free Game Icons awaits RPG  fans. The icons can be downloaded in the vector format .svg and  in .png format. The graphics are provided under the terms of Creative Commons 3.0 BY license. The collection is still growing week by week.

About the project

All the images are downloadable in a vector format, so you can easily tweak colors, rotation and adjust effects like blur, bevels or shadows.

Another direct benefit is infinite scaling, it means no size limit for the resulting files which can be used for high resolution interfaces, logos, stencils etc...
