Grumpish Game - Secret of Zir'An

Lord_Abbadon · **Posted:** 05-20-2005, 02:14 AM

For those of you that haven't hear there is a new steam & magic game out by WhiteWolf/ArtHaus, . This game seem to have Grump stamped all over it. I was flicking through it today and it screams eights amine styling with weird assed creatures as mounts to cloudeships (sounds better than airships). I don't have the game yet (though if my dark side takes hold I will DriveThru it tonight) but this seems like a must.

Oh I forgot... It's not a Storyteller System game!!!! That is the best news I have heard all day (yes it was a crap day). Here is a by what I assume is a customer that has the game.

As I started this game will/should strike accord in many hearts just by it's setting and art alone.

Looks interesting. I will have to take a look at the system. If it ever shows up at any local store... the games section at our local Borders and Waldenbooks is getting a wee bit sparse...

It was released on the 16th of May and we (us in Oz) even got it by the 19th of May ( now why does that date seem strange...), so check out your local. For me it will be DriveThru simply because of the $80Aud tag attached. At $27.99 which comes out at $36.80 Aud I can choose to get it printed at an offset place and then I still have the "Find" function with the e-book.

By the By check out the GM screen and what it comes with.

Speaking of pdfs...wich I also lately have become hooked do you know any shoop apart from rpgnow and drivetrugh where to find good rpgs ? it seems that there is no way of get better prices between shoops and the only day I could have a good buy was the "gamemaster day" where I buy a few AFMBE from Drive and a pulp module from RPGNOW...but no offers...
And anything about discount coupons ??

Let me see...
Steve Jackson Games
and (formerly Creation Crash).

But RPGnow and Drivethru are the big ones.

bayushi_shogo,

As fir Discount coupons write too the company(ies) stating that you would like to shop with them and do have a list of items to get and was wondering if theere was a chance of getting a coupon out of them. It would for me a number of times with mail order companies like Do or Dice.

If it doesn't work then you have lost nothing.

My NSFLGS (Not So Friendly Local Game Store) never got it in, and has announced that they are closing their doors at the end of the month.

I wish that I could say that I will miss them, but there was a reason that some folks were driving thirty minutes to shop elsewhere...

Can't say I'm surprised, what with the horror stories you shared (and I'm sure there were worse that you did not).

This is what comes of poor customer service, in any industry, but this one in particular!

I sincerely hope you have another, far better store open within easy reach soon, to fill the void!
