#1 malcolm_northwinter Jun 25, 2010 0:27:00	Beginning today, and going through Sunday, I will be providing my 82 page short copy of the Pnumadesi Player's Guide by Northwinter Press (my current writing alias). I've labored on this project for over a year, and it's about time I put something out for everybody to see just what I've been doing. I'm hosting the Player's Companion through 4shared. (I'll provide the link below). Please, feel free to grab a copy and go through it. If you have any suggestions, critiques, or opinions, I'd very much appreciate hearing them. I haven't revealed everything from the setting with this free release, but its about time I let everybody get a chance to experience a world I've come to call my own. SPECIAL THANKS to my Best of friends, Bud and Zaaron. The world was their original concept, and I'm so happy to have been made a part of it and allowed to help bring it to life for all three of us, and now all of you as well. Also a huge thank you to my wife, who put up with me working on my book for the better part of a year. If I get decent enough reception, I'm hoping to use it as an argument with which I can approach an official publisher with the rest of my work and get something real going. Pnumadesi Player's Companion Back Cover Information The center of the universe, Pnumadesi has been endangered many times throughout its history; from the splitting of the planes (and so too the continents), to the Second War of Elements and the return of the Xendauni. This player's companion offers information on how to incorporate the majority of Dungeons & Dragons races and classes into the world of Pnumadesi. It also provides backstory and information on how to play 2 new races (The Xendauni and Vedros), as well as a new class (The Totemist) and a new class build suitable for any primal defender. Finally, enhance your games with new backgrounds, feats, rituals and magic items, all of which provide flavor for the world, but can be used on any plane. On the continent in the middle of the cosmos, things are heating up, yet again.
#2 malcolm_northwinter Jun 27, 2010 18:18:52	Only a couple hours left. I'll be pulling the download at Midnight, EST. Thank you again, to those of you who've downloaded it. I'm now looking forward to reviews, in case you have something you'd like to share.
#3 deadwood_zen Jun 27, 2010 20:46:55	I just downloaded it, and I'm absolutely loving it! I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into this. Will there be a Pnumadesi Campaign Guide in the future? And do the Ursaren have a racial power? One of my players is obsessed with bears and will love the opporotunity to play a Bear race, but I don't wish for him to be underpowered because of it. I mean, I can always give them the Warforged Resilience thing, or whatever, but just wondering if the creator had anything in specific in mind... But you should definitely keep going with this :]
#4 malcolm_northwinter Jun 27, 2010 21:12:43	Thank you very much! Yes, they have a racial ability that I purposefully didn't include because I had to pick some stuff to keep for the purchase copy. That said, the closest approximation I can give you is the Bugbear racial from the MM.
#5 deadwood_zen Jun 27, 2010 21:16:15	Okay. I'll figure something out until then. And do you have an estimate on the release date/price of the purchase copy? I don't often have money, but I can always start saving up now. And are you the only person involved in Northwinter Press? If so, impressive.
#6 malcolm_northwinter Jun 27, 2010 22:06:12	My friends helped me to playtest and drew the art (what was original anyway). The rest, including overall design was me, yes. Also, as stated in the original post, the base concept for the world (and the xendauni) was totally their idea. I just worked with them to flesh the whole thing out. I am currently seeking a publisher who wants to work with me. Failing that, I'll be starting up for myself. I'll friend you and keep updates here for everybody to stay current. I definitely want to have that (and the world companion/dmg) done and ready to print before September.
