Malhavoc
Launches New Event Book Line
August
26, 2002 (Renton, Wash.) -- With Requiem for a God,
on sale today, designer Monte Cook has created a new type
of roleplaying game product: the event book, a “how-to
guide” for players and DMs.
Requiem
for a God supposes that a major event has taken
place in your campaign: the death of an immortal being.
The book contains everything you need to introduce the
demise of a divine power into your game.
Malhavoc
Press is proud to offer the electronic version of this
event book from the codesigner of 3rd Edition Dungeons
& Dragons® for just $7. The 64+ page book features
the stunning artwork of Sam Wood and Kieran Yanner, and
a streamlined page design, which minimizes file size for
faster downloading and conserves ink for quicker printing.
Requiem
for a God contains DM notes covering the divine death’s
repercussions on the campaign, and new prestige classes
that tap into the departed god’s power. Short tie-in
adventures feature power-mad villains seeking to hoard
their new might, while cosmic forces move to realign the
balance.
Characters
can wield artifacts made of god-relics and spells and
feats fueled by lingering divine essence. Meanwhile, dark
creatures born of the god’s passing challenge adventurers
of all levels.
Fans
can sample previews of the
art, the table of contents,
and a section on “godsblood”
free at this site.
Monte
launched Malhavoc Press in May 2001 with the publication
of the first Book of Eldritch Might, which won
three EN World d20 System Awards for excellence, voted
on by the fans. Hallmarks of Malhavoc Press and Monte's
game design include unusual magic, monsters, and evocative
game elements that go beyond traditional fantasy, as well
as a mastery of the d20 System rules that only one of
the game's original designers can offer. All current Malhavoc
Press titles are available in electronic format at
this site. Print versions are published by Sword
& Sorcery.
Monte
Cook started professionally in the game industry in 1988.
In the employ of Iron Crown Enterprises he worked on the
Rolemaster and Champions games as an editor,
developer, and designer. In 1994 Monte came to TSR as
a game designer. As a senior game designer with Wizards
of the Coast, he cocreated the new edition of Dungeons
& Dragons (the basis of the d20 System) and authored
the Dungeon Master's Guide, Return to the Temple of
Elemental Evil, and a d20 version of Call of Cthulhu.
For WizKids Games, he recently designed the HeroClix
system of superhero combat. A graduate of the Clarion
West writer's workshop, Monte has also published short
stories and two novels. You can read more biographical
information or sample his recent
