"Throne of Night" will feature the art and maps of fantasy illustrator Michael Clarke. His artwork is all over the homepage of this project, but here is brand new art and maps just finished as we work furiously on Book One of Throne of Night. This is the view of the deep gnome village...

Greetings all, Throne of Night, the subterranean sandbox adventure path for Pathfinder, has funded on Kickstarter in less than a week. Visit our kickstarter to learn more and help us make this campaign even better. Throne of Night is being made by Fire Mountain Games, the publisher of the...

Jables1987, Greetings. Its very difficult to say how your particular GM is interpreting the adventure (and all game mastering is an interpretive art), so that makes its difficult to conjecture too much since I don't know this person at all. However, in general, I would say that talking to...

Thanks for your support. It is very much appreciated. In five days, we are already 87% funded! Gary McBride Check out our Kickstarter -- Throne of Night

I am definitely a supporter of this kickstarter. I adore DF's line and am all too eager to fill out my collection. Gary McBride The Throne of Night Kickstarter has begun! Will you be a noble dwarf or a villainous drow?

Greetings, At last, our second adventure path begins its journey to completion. The ENnie-award nominated publisher of "Way of the Wicked" brings you its second adventure path -- "Throne of Night". Play noble dwarven explorers reclaiming lost glories. Play wicked drow subjugating all they...

Systole, Thanks for the kind words. I recognize your name. You're doing the one-on-one game on The Order of the Stick's forums, right? I'll have to catch up on your battle with Suchandra when I get the chance. And regarding good drow...*shrugs* Far be it from me to tell someone what is...

Fire Mountain Games will soon be unveiling its second adventure path following up on our ENnie-award nominated, critically acclaimed "Way of the Wicked". This will be a subterranean sandbox in the tradition of Paizo's "Kingmaker" and TSR's "Vault of the Drow". Play noble dwarven explorers...

WiredNerve, As someone who has run and appreciates D&D 4th edition, I can definitely say that "Way of the Wicked" was written with the idea that it would not be that difficult to convert. The maps and plot line basically need no conversion and with the old monster creator, it should be a...

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed the book! Gary McBride Fire Mountain Games

Joshgenti, Talingarde is a very lawful, very well-defended kingdom. Merchants can call upon knights and soldiers to defend them. Clerics of Mitra can use divination magic to track down criminals. The trick is this ... as long as the PCs are having fun being bandits, then there is no problem...

We are a long way into this discussion without mentioning the Malleus Monstrorum for Call of Cthulhu, a simply epic monster book. Yes, it is focused on mythos monsters but it is still very adaptable for fantasy RPGs of every stripe. What I love about that book, is the handouts. Almost every...

I love Pathfinder, Alzrius. You know that. But 3PP do have some limitations. You have to be very careful not to tread too close to something Paizo is doing and you have to play well with their release schedule. Also if, for any reason, Pathfinder has trouble (something I definitely hope does not...

Don't get me wrong. I love Pathfinder. Actually, just a Pathfinder update of Midnight would almost certainly be a commercially viable product for a small publishing house. But for FFG, Midnight would need its own system to once more become a viable product line. Anyways, all this conjecture...

If I ran the zoo, I would publish a Midnight 3rd edition rulebook that created its own system and incorporated the best of all the previously published sourcebooks into one big, beautiful full-color tome. This book would be written first and foremost with an eye towards making Midnight...
