  • 7.30.04 – Symmoira – a New Game System

    Now announcing Symmoira a new universal game system. With its unique and flexible mechanics, its high on creativity and big results. It's perfect for telling large-than-life stories, be they fantastical or action-packed. If your'e sick of 200-page rule books, Symmoira is for you. Best of all it's free! Check it out.

  • 7.26.04 – IE Compatability

    My apologies to anyone who tried to view the page recently with Internet Explorer, as it was not displaying correctly. Although the new version of PGP doesn't do anything particularly tricky and has been coded to full web consortium standards, some problems came up because of quirks (and outright omissions) in IE. Everything should be cleared up now.

  • 7.20.04 – Graal Supplements

    I've added a sample character and "situation" for Graal: a kind of mini-scenario. More are on their way.

  • 7.16.04 – Graal Goes Live

    Graal has been officially released! It's available exclusively at RPG Now! While sharing most of the rules from the public playtest, the for-sale version has been almost entirely re-written—for both clarity and style—and has a host of additional play examples and Player's and GM's Tips. If you've never looked at Graal before, check it out, and if you liked Graal before, consider supporting PGP by purchasing it.

    Return visitors will also notice that the site has gone through a re-design, which I had sworn I'd bring about the first time I had a product for sale. Hopefully it's a little more elegant than the older personal style.

  • 6.26.04 – New ABSQVE ROMA

    Version 2.e of ABSQVE ROMA is finally available. It makes significant changes to how values, animus, and romanitas are handled. Further examples are also to be found, and the rules for wealth have been expanded (all changes are detailed in the rules file itself).

  • 6.20.04 – Remodelling

    As you can see, some minor remodelling has been done to the style sheets to make the place look a little prettier. I'll also say this once more: Internet Explorer is a right piece of shit—and no apologies to those of you who use it. Its CSS support is hokey and minimal, and it's evident that Microsoft had no real intent to support standards beyond what could be marketed effectively. As part of my rage, I've updated the Standards article to rant at IE for a few paragraphs, listing its many problems.

    In partly related news, the other articles have also been revised, and a new version of AR—perhaps the last open playtest version—should be available in a few days.

  • 6.10.04 – CSS Ooze

    Introducing CSS Ooze: a new division of PP devoted to CSS-based web design, with all developments freely available for public use. Go get some style!

  • 6.7.04 – Methods of Game Design

    I've uploaded a new article, called Game Design Methods, that discusses the process of game development.

  • 6.6.04 – Now in XHTML

    As you can see, PP has received some further visual tweaks. It also uses XHTML 1.0 now, and should look nearly the same across all browsers (it basically did before with the exception of Internet Explorer).

  • 6.2.04 – AR II.d

    Yet another iteration of AR is now available. V. II.d features many more guidelines surrounding the Civitas and long term play, has a refined die mechanic going back to II.a, and in general explains certain rules more fully. The site has also been tweaked to look better when printed and to offer better IE support.

  • 5.27.04 – AR II.c

    Version II.c of ABSQUE ROMA is now available. The rules have been paired down and simplified significantly, and some additions have crept in as well.

  • 5.5.04 – Miscellaneous Games

    Put up some older projects: Unknown Heroes, and the more recent but unfinished In The Court.

  • 5.3.04 – Domain

    Relocated to private domain, and overhauled appearance.

  • 4.24.04 – Minor Changes

    Asthetic changes. Domain name should be up soon.

  • 4.5.04 – AR II.b

    Uploaded Playtest rules II.b for ABSQVE ROMA (have I gone through enough variant names yet?). Download it now!

  • 3.16.04 – Tweaks

    Updated the logo and background images. Fixed some minor problems.

  • 3.10.04 – New Principium Novum

    5 page up-to-date version of the Principium Novum (renamed) rules added, along with character sheet.

  • 2.18.04 – Principia Novae Draft

    Principia Novae first draft uploaded.

  • 2.13.04 – Day 1

    Primeval Press goes online.
