Adventure Games Publishing is pleased to announce the release of our first direct-to-PDF product, Monsters & Treasure of the Wilderlands 1, now available on DriveThruRPG.com and RPGNow.com.

Monsters & Treasure of the Wilderlands 1
Over time players become complacent, sure in the knowledge that they have encountered every creature in the book and catalogued all treasures to be found. They won't be so certain when the judge pulls out a new book of 16 pages of monsters and treasures that they've never seen before!

Monsters & Treasures of the Wilderlands 1 includes 16 new monsters designed for use with Castles & Crusades and the Wilderlands of High Adventure Campaign Setting. Running the gamut from pesky 1 HD faeries to fallen 15 HD demi-gods, each monster includes details on ecology and society, powers and treasures. Some are hauntingly familiar, just enough so as to trip up the unwary adventurer, while others are entirely new and created from whole cloth. Though designed for use in the Wilderlands, every monster can find a home elsewhere, and is easily adapted into just about any fantasy campaign setting.

Also included are 16 new treasures, ranging from the least bauble to great and potent (and usually, most dire) relics. Each is tied to the Wilderlands, adding more detail to your Wilderlands campaign, though the histories can readily be altered to suit any campaign.

This booklet is the sister-product of the Wilderlands of High Adventure Rhadamanthia Continental Map. The material presented herein originally appeared in the "World of the Wilderlands of High Adventure" article in Adventure Games Journal #1.

If you already have Adventure Games Journal #1, you do not need this product!

The Sun, Moons, and Planetary Ring
The world of Gaia and its continents, oceans, seas, and islands
The 15 Districts of the continent of Rhadamanthia
The 18 Campaign Regions of the Wilderlands of High Adventure
Everything you need to start a continent-spanning campaign can be found in this booklet.

Note that the map of Rhadamanthia and most of the details that are listed herein were developed with Bob Bledsaw, the original designer of the Wilderlands of High Fantasy, upon which the Wilderlands of High Adventure is based. These materials are 90%+ compatible with everything Bob developed; a few names have been changed, and a few things have been added, all with Bob's blessing.

Sorcerers of the Wilderlands
Monsters & Treasures of the Wilderlands 1
Valley of the Dead Queens

The Valley of the Dead Queens preview provides insight into the upcoming Sandbox Module line.

The preview includes maps of hexes 04:0714 and 04:0715, details of what is to be found there, and a map of the hamlet of Cragfalls, a hamlet in hex 04:0715, along with descriptions of about half the locations in the village, including background and specific individual information. The Sandbox Module Line will premiere online on DriveThruRPG and RPGNow, enabling Wilderlands fans to puchase exactly the set of hexes they wish to supplement their Wilderlands of High Adventure and Wilderlands of High Fantasy campaigns.

Units of the 2008 Wilderlands Jam that are not sold at Gen Con will be made available first to Adventure Games Journal subscribers who were unable to attend the show.

I did begin to collect printed works, and would also buy PDFs, but the constant republishing of already released materials in 'lite' cut down form or rehashed re-released in a new book form has completely ruined the product line for me.

None of these have been printed before.  With a few exceptions, I am a print-only guy.  I welcome this release.

Deleting products really quickly is not a good idea when most of your buyers are collectors.

Limited print-runs aren't a bad thing.  They encourage a purchase soon after release rather than a year or two down the road, if ever.  Printing 1000 copies of this doesn't make much sense.

There is also no definitive list or anything coherent about what is being published, so I'm out of collecting this line of JG stuff untill someone catalogues it and puts up a website.

The AGP stuff is on the JG subweb.  Are the PDFs there, too?

A chart of what is PDF, website, and print would be useful.

Ummm . . . aren't these games supposed to be fun?

Sorry about all the confusion. When I release some things in PDF, I got people wanting things in print instead; when I released some things in print, I got people who wanted PDF instead...

Originally, I wanted to have the Southern Reaches Gazetteer for Gen Con (and for my subscribers...) but the timing was not to be. So, rather than have nothing new for Gen Con, I figured I'd answer the calls of some folks who wanted some PDFs in print; so we brought together three PDF-only products and threw in a preview of an upcoming PDF product.

This is the last Limited-Edition Gen Con product, BTW; the limited nature does not help sales, I've found. You can surmise that from the fact that there are plenty left to sell afterward.

There will be a BIG release at next year's Gen Con, that I will say, but it won't be a Gen Con exclusive.

While Plaag has done an excellent job with what has been released so far, I have been remiss in getting him the information in time so he can get it all listed right away. My bad on that.

I have also built a complete list of all AGP products; Click here to check out the product list. It includes print and PDF products.

Barbarians of the Wilderlands 1 features an alternative barbarian class for Castles & Crusades; tips on how to work both the original barbarian class (renamed "savage warrior") and the barbarian in together in urban and rural civilizations; plus listing and details on the major barbarian nations of the Wilderlands. If you prefer a barbarian class based on classic pulp Sword & Sorcery themes, this is the class you have been looking for...

The new barbarian class abilities include:

• Native Arms & Armor
• Primal Rage
• Resilience
• Savage Glory
• Sixth Sense
• Tribal Abilities (Animal Handling, Armor Maker, Battle Cry, Berserkergang, Bowyer, Canoeing, Demon Slayer, Fast Movement, First Aid, Horsemanship, Horse Warrior, Jumping, Languages, Master Armor Maker, Master Bowyer, Master Weapon Smith, Runes, Running, Savage Horde, Savage Retainers, Scale, Seamanship, Signaling, Sound Imitation, Swimming, Weapon Smith, Wilderness Abilities, and Wizard Slayer)
• Versatility

Versatility is the great ability of the barbarian, as it enables him to learn the skills and abilities he needs to operate, excel, and conquer in the decadent realms of civilization.

The new barbarian class can be used with any Castles & Crusades campaign!

Plus, this PDF also includes details on nine barbarian nations of the Wilderlands of High Adventure:

• Altanians
• Amazons
• Karakhans
• Karzulun
• Mgona
• Moonrakers
• Skandiks
• Tharbrians
• Valonar

NOTE: The alternative barbarian class will NOT be used in other AGP products; all alternatives are to be used solely at the Judge's discretion, and I'm not going to force a Judge to buy this PDF product just to use all the other Wilderlands products. So if you play in the Wilderlands but are not into alternative classes, you don't need this PDF.

Barbarians of the Wilderlands 1 weighs in at 20 pages and retails at $4.00.
