Draken Games Catalogue 7 is now available for download! And in keeping with recent tradition, there’s a gaming freebie included. Previous freebies have been simple hex-and-counter games, but to mark the recent launch of Argor FRPG we’re offering a game resource this time. The School of Axios gives full details of the wandering southman magic user Axios and the small school of magic he has set up on Mainisle. There’s a full description of Axios himself, stats for his servants and the complete School of Axios spell book, featuring six new spells. There is also a description of the College House, with floor plans.
Obviously this resource is designed for Argor, but with a bit of work it could be made useable with a wide range of fantasy RPGs.

One of our partners, Brave Adventures, has just released downloadable rat man miniature figures that make ideal rodus! Check out the Ratman Warband.
Well, I did the Q&A session that Dan Davenport kindly set up for me at RPGnet’s webchat channel. Dan logged the session, and if you want to find out more about Argor FRPG it’s a good place to start, as I go into some depth about the game mechanics, the races, character creation etc.
You can read the transcript of the session here:

If you want to talk about Argor, I’ll be doing a Q&A session on RPGnet’s live chat channel. The session will start at 7pm CST on Tuesday 28th October. I’ll have to work out what time that is in the UK as I have a horrible feeling they change their clocks at a different time to us. Anyway, it will be stupid o’clock in the morning for me, but well worth it and I’m really pleased to be invited. Pleased and a bit nervous!

See you there!
Those of you who have already downloaded a copy should find that you have the option to update it, as I’ve uploaded a new version which has corrected a few errata. These are:
- Getting the Appendix number of the ‘useful tables’ wrong in the text
- A couple of pre-generated character sheets had errors in the Craft/Knowledge skill point allocations
- The stats for the bull were assigned to the carnosaur and vice versa. I mean if you want a VERY scary bull (and rather less scary dinosaurian predator), fine, use the original stats. But I’d recommend going with the correction!
All the corrections are now made – new buyers will get the updated version, and like I said, those of you who have already got a copy will get the opportunity to upgrade.
Well it has taken a heck of a while, but our fantasy RPG is finally ready for your perusal! Just click on the image below to go our drivethrurpg.com site where you can browse a few pages.
… but not quite as near as I thought. Apologies to anyone who has visited this site’s new Argor FRPG page and seen that the release date was 18th September. We’ve had some last minute distractions that mean it’s prudent to delay the release for a week.
Sorry for the delay, but Argor Fantasy Role Playing Game will definitely be released on Thursday 25th September!
Not long after his very nice review, How to Create Great Fantasy Maps (Even if You Can’t Draw) did indeed go silver at drivethrupg.com!
Good prediction, Tim!
Wow, our newest release, How to Create Great Fantasy Maps (Even if You Can’t Draw), is proving somewhat popular, attaining Copper Best Seller status at drivethrurpg.com within three days of being released! If you want to know how to add attractive, Tolkienesque maps to your fantasy RPG resources, why not check it out?
While the finishing touches are being put to Argor FRPG I’ve turned my attention to a little side-project. It’s a GM’s resource called How to Create Great Fantasy Maps (Even if You Can’t Draw). The name says it all, really.
It’s in final proofing now and I’ll be releasing it on Thursday 7th August. Download price will be $1.50. There will probably be a print version available in due course.
