I am dedicated to producing quality products for the role-playing community, at cheap prices. To facilitate this, I will be using as many free services as it is possible to do. My company e-mail is a HotMail address, this website is on GoDaddy (which a friend pays for), payment via PayPal, and so on. What this means for YOU, the consumer, is good quality product at rock-bottom prices! All made with care (or at least obsession).
Do you want to help bring these products to light? Do you wnat to earn a free copy of them when they become avilable? Do you want your name in the book? If you answered "yes" to these questions, then go take a look at our Artwork page to see if there is any artistic need in a book you can fill! All those whose artowrk I use recieve a FREE copy of the file when it goes on-line, as well as both credits page and byline!
"The Forge" is a web site devoted to
helping gamers do what they like to do...game. It is full of useful tidbits like encounters, publisher links, product
info, and such. Heck, it even comes in three languages (selected by the little flags in the splash page).
by Benjamin D. Richards. An interresting
webcomic that chronicles the adventures of a typical d20 fantasy party in an a-typical version of middle-ages europe!
Full of good art, and good ideas. The artist and author is even doing some work for a few DaemonEye books...
Schlock Mercenary by Howard Tayler. A webcomic, but it
has nothing to do with gaming. I do not know the author. It's still a damn funny comic! Beware the ominous
hummmmmmmm
Far Corners J.R.R. Klingbeil is setting up and running this sci-fi on-line play RPG. It will be convened every saturday night, check it out ;)
Web RPG is a great service for on-line roleplaying...and hopefully somebody will be running a game with my stuff there (hint, hint)! Go download the (free) WebRPG software, and lets see about getting a Dead Stars game going! hopefully once I got the Dead Stars Rule Book out the door, and can clear some of this clutter from my desk, I will have the time to devote to running a Campaign Setting there. In the meantime, if anybody wants to start up a Dead Stars game, let me know and I will render any assistance I can!
Cerberus Too! A Dutch site devoted to a free e-zine for role-playing games, including reviews. You might have to use a translation site unless you can read Dutch ;)
(OUT NOW!...sorta) Edition Pi: This is a new set of products devoted to using community-input on the more arduous publishing tasks in order to produce them at the absolutely cheapeast prices. They are a re-working of the three main d20 books, with each book being published in two bite-sized (and easy to update) files. Essentially the "Edition pi" project is an amalgam of the best and most hassel-free aspects of both 3.0 and 3.5, with added material to fill gaps and some tweaks for balance's sake. It is intended to be a community-open project that is 100% free to use for other people's projects, in addition to being a dirt-cheap alternative to the main three rules books. One of its most notable features is the integration of a non-WotC psionics system straight into the books, based on the psionics system in [i]Psionics Ascendant[/i] but far more narrow in scope (sorry folks, only a couple psionic prestige classes). If this is your cup of tea, or you are just curious, you can buy each of the files for only $0.50! The first one, available now, is the PHB Spells file.
New Edition Pi products page!
(IN THE WORKS) Steam is the Future!: Ever wandered what your wizard would be able to do with an artificial limb? Ever wish your dwarven fighter had a shotgun? Are you one of those people that always begs the DM to let you use gunpowder in your fantasy games, or a DM who wants to try it out? Then THIS is the book for you! It details all the rules for running a fantasy setting having to come to terms with the prevelance of reliable non-magical mechanics, as well as how far the scientific horizon can get in a land where reliable magical effects can help bend the rules "just a little bit".... To help make it more attractive, the setting that is being used for playtesting it is also being INCLUDED in it!
(OUT NOW!) Liber Magus: A small pamphlet-style book full of optional spellcasting rules for your 3.0/3.5 games. The best part of it is that the new system utilizes the existing spell structure, it is simply the changes in the method of spellcasting that are significant. Definately a must-have for anybody wanting to add a fresh style to their current games. It is even formatted for easy printing and insertion into the back of your PHB. Only US$1!
(IN THE WORKS) Under Cover of Darkness: A guidebook to assassins and assassin-oriented campaigns. it includes many
new prestige classes, a new manner of assassin magic, new tools, and the ever-popular (not to mention grotesquely handy)
random contract tables! Probably going to be 60-80 pages, and 2-3 bucks US.
Update 8-1-05: The artist who was doing this project has pretty much backed out, so now I'm left needing a LOT of artwork for it. If this sounds like your cup of tea, drop me a line via e-mail with "Under Cover of Darkness" in the subject, and we can talk about it.
(IN THE PIPE) Wyld Path: An alternate magic system and setting book all rolled into one. The new magic system detailed here is perfectly capable of replacing your current 3.0/3.5 magic system entirely, and offers a wide range of options and new experiences. It even comes with it's own optional systems! One of these optional systems is called "Bonded Magic", and forms the basis for the included campaign setting. Currently expected to roll out at around 120 pages and US$6!
(IN THE PIPE) Vaziliss: What do Kobolds, Lizard Folk, and Troglodytes all have in common? In addition to all being "Humanoid (Reptiles)", this book postulates that they are actually all from the same roots species, one even older than the elves! In it you will find more fun extras and rules for playing members of these races, as well as a time-line that goes through the history, and fall, of the ancient Reptillian Empire. On top of providing racial descriptions for these and related races, this book finishes up with a detailed look at the Reptillian Empire's culture and environment before its Fall, complete with the city of Vaziliss before the Fall, and now. Expect it to come in around US $5.
(OUT NOW!) Psionics Ascendant: A totally new psionics system, the full version of the one previewed in Academe
Mentus. It features everything you cold want in a 3.0/3.5 fantasy psionics rule book: different system that is
totally different from the magic system, easy to understand and use, guidelines on using or introducing it, "mini-
settings" to make the GMN's job easier, revolutionary new "item" system, hoardes of monsters, and enough Feats and
Prestige Classes to please anybody! It comes in at well over 200 pages, and only US$7 for pdf, US$19 for both print and pdf.
You can read a review on it in Dutch, or in
English, if you like. Fair warning though: the english version
is a Babelfish translation, and the sentax is a bit difficult.
(OUT NOW!) Academe Mentus: An introductory primer to the system that is detailed fully in Psionics Ascendant. This book details the core system for a NEW set of psionics rules that is fully compatible with both 3.0 and 3.5 edition games. Academe Mentus is FREE!
(OUT NOW!) Psionics Companion 3.5: [This product is being phased out to be replaced by "Psionics Ascendant", and so is no longer supported] This updated version of the original Psionics Companion has been reformatted and contains almost twice the material as the original! Now it is a COMPLETE psionics sourcebook in it’s own right. Only the 3.5 core books are needed to use it. Download the sample: HERE. The full version comes in at US $4.
(OUT NOW!) Molokai Source Book: A sourcebook full of alternate rules and extra goodies for your 3.5 fantasy games! Drawn from the Lands of Molokai book, this book is chock full of new feats, alternate monstrous PC system, new prestige classes, and more... Put a new twist on your games with this 100+ page file, for only US $7! Free sample pages HERE.
(IN THE PIPE) Molokai Campaign Setting: Over 200 pages of fallout from necromantic warfare and infernal infestation, as well as nations devoted to institutionalized hatred and people struggling to cope with the sudden appearance of an entire psionic civilization! Can you survive the soul-sucking heat of the Bone Desert? Can you navigate the labrynthine guild politics of Asalan? What about the savage frozen wilderness Ice Forge, the homeland of a tribe of barbaric dwarves? If you are up for the the challenge, all it costs is US $10. (Don't believe the Dark Ones when they say your soul is an acceptible alternative...)
(d20 STL VICTIM!) Lands of Molokai: A campaign setting made with the Psionics Companion, and with themes of institutionalized villany, infernal invasion, and necromancy run rampant. Not a nice place to visit, but a great place to game! It also doubles as a rules sourcebook for your regular d20 fantasy games! Due to recent changes in the d20 STL I can no longer offer this 300+ page product in it's current form. It is being revised for 3.5 edition and expanded into two sepeprte products, both being released under the Prometheus compatibility logo instead of the d20 logo.
(renamed from "Dead Stars")
(OUT NOW!) Universal Decay: Dead Stars Character Primer: Since it is taking much longer than anticipated to finish the last of the Universal Decay: Dead Stars Rule Book, I figured it would be a good idea to put out this version. It contains everything you need to create a character and run it in the Dead Stars setting with the Universal Decay alternate-SRD rules. It weighs in at US$3.
(OUT NOW!) Dead Stars Rule Book: A rulebook that details the variant version of the 3.5 SRD that will be used
thruout this product line! Artwork is by donation, so don’t expect too much (and yes, it is open donation). It covers
everything from character creation, to combat, to even some details on the setting! How much will it cost? Let me see....
is FREE to much? Yes that’s right, I said free. Not only that, but the ENTIRE BOOK is OGC, so any publisher who
desires to use elements from it, or design sourcebooks for the setting, can do so. It can be "purchased" HERE.
BREAKING NEWS! This book is currently being re-edited and condensed into a smaller, more printer-friendly,
version. This is being done because an EXPANDED version is in the works (see below)! Don't worry though, the condensed
version will still be free.
(lost to the sands of time...) Manticore's Run: An exciting novel from Matthew Barron, and set in the Dead Stars universe. Follow the plight of the free merchant ship Manticore and her captain Jallice Veren as they try to pay for dinner, avoid corrupt officials, get the Serkalth 1st engineer to turn off the weapons once in a while, and...oh yeah...avoid getting killed by everything from fusion bombs to deranged politicians! The 1st chapter of the book is
bundled FREE with the Dead Stars Rule Book, but the whole thing will cost you US $4. It can be puurchased at the
DaemonEye Publishing page on RPGNow.com
Notes: This novel had the auspicious, or maybe lamentable, luck to be the very first Dead Stars story EVER. Unfortunately a total lack of the ability to advertise it, coupled with trying to distribute it through a channel that sees only RPG game materials, combined to result in killing it. How bad was it? A great novel didn't end up selling a single copy...THAT bad. It really was a pitty, this guy writes one heck of a story.
(IN THE WORKS) Universal Decay: Dead Stars Rule Book: This is the condensed Dead Stars Rule Book, only GREATLY increased! It contains more options for character creation and advancement, more feats, more tech, more gadgets, more prestige classes, and just about everything folks have been asking for over the last year since the release of the original Dead Stars Rule Book! Much of it originally slated for the Dead Stars Campaign Setting, that now appears to be missing in action. There is even more art. Expect the page count to be MUCH higher, even using the new page format. This version will be running somewhere around US$7.
(IN THE PIPE) Universal Decay Fantasy: A new idea, and one that is still tentative at best. I have gotten allot of feedback from playtesters of the files (see Free Swag below), many asking if I would be doing a variants for other genres. Oddly enough, the MOST ASKED FOR is fantasy! Hey, who am I to argue with what people want? So I will be working on a expansion book that uses the system outlined in the Dead Stars Datafile, but for a fantasy setting. It also gives me a chance to tweak with some ideas I’ve had about alternate magic systems... This one will probably be hitting the shelves for about US $7-$10.
(IN THE WORKS) "Can of Whup-Ass" Warning: contents under extreme pressure. Point away from face when opening: Lets face it, d20 fantasy gaming is all about killing foes and taking their loot. At least in many games! This book focuses on the characters who are best at doing exactly that: Fighters, Monks, Paladins, and Barbarians! It offers new ideas for character types, ranging from the ridiculously powerful, to the plain ridiculous. It also features many new options in the way of new Feats, Prestige Classes, and equipment! This one will also be most likely hitting the digital shelves for US $5!
(IN THE PIPE) "Can of Dragon Juice" Warning: Do not research spells or operate magical devices under the influence of this beverage: From Cheesecasters to cheesy casters this book takes a serious (-ly tongue in cheek) look at arcane spell-casters. It features a plethora of new options for these folk of gentle ways and violent explosions, from the power of the Dirty Limerick to the ferocious Garbage Golem! A collection of options and extras including new Prestige Classes, Feats, spells, and gear! This one will also be most likely hitting the digital shelves for US $5!
(IN THE PIPE) "Can of Slimy Goodness" Warning: Ingesting contents may lead to a career in law or politics: Who doesn’t love the party rogue? Evidently any of the other classes, as they refuse to share a book with him! (C’mon guys, he’ll return your gold...honest!) This book covers life on the edge of the law, from how to sway public opinion to toppling institutions and even governments in your d20 fantasy games! It also features a slew of new goodies like Prestige Classes, Feats, and gear! Once again, this one is looking at a US $5 price tag.
Mystic Master: I figured everybody would ike to see the class I'm using to replace the Mystic Theurge in my games here at DaemonEye. THIS is it, a pdf file. The class is totally open-source, flavor text and all, so feel free to use it in yor own products. I've also included an example of a character with the prestige class, and how they figure out their spells, as well as s class-by-class comparison. You might want to right- click and choose "save as", rather than just opening it in you browser.

Academe Mentus Preview: The introductory primer for the Academe Mentus book that is currently being converted to a for-sale product. This primer details a NEW but still COMPATIBLE psionics system for 3.5 edition! The finished version of the primer will come with a coupon for a buck off of the full book Psionics Ascendant, sent to all purchasers when Psionics Ascendant comes out. You can download the preview chapters for Academe Mentus HERE, and the character sheetHERE.
Appendix D! You can now download Appendix D: Psionics and Society here.
Appendix C: Psionic Threats: A handful of pages filled with nasty stuff for your psionic characters to face, and even nastier psionic badness for the rest of your campaign world! I highly recommend that before you unleash this on your players, that you make sure there are no sharp objects handy! (Referring to an incident in my game group with a mechanical pencil and a Cerebramorph outbreak. May it never be mentioned again.)
An old horror for a new age The Psycholus isnow unleashed upon the world of d20 products! One of the most feared and terrifying monsters I have ever created, I decided to convert it to d20 to replace certain recent...losses... from the SRD. The best part? It is OPEN SOURCE! That means that all of you publishers and would-be publishers can reference it, so long as you give me credit in Section 15 of your Open Source agreement. The only thing I ask is that you NOT develop it's history and culture, I plan on doing that in Shades of Black, and I want it all to be consistent for everybody. Well, have fun with it, it is in the Teasers section (along with everything else these days). The Psycholus Have fun with it, folks!
Much thanks to my friend Ryan Castellucci, who is footing the bill for this site since I lack the cash to do it myself.
If you would like to help keep me running, and for some reason don't feel capable of purchasing my products, please donate what money you can. Struggling small-time publisher needs funds!
