The return of the Killer Rabbit!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
We were so busy working away on the new HARP Bestiary we almost forgot it was Halloween. We wanted to give you all something to make this Halloween a special one and to give you a taste of what the HARP Bestiary might have on offer, so here it is…

A plump bundle of fluff identical to its harmless cousin, the killer rabbit betrays its true nature after the innocent wayfarer makes cooing noises of appreciation. The cute, bright–eyed bunny leaps for the throat, its jaws spreading to encompass an impressive chunk of neck. Steely muscles clamp sharp teeth together, frequently ripping the victim’s head from their body.

New College of Magics arrives
Hey – I just received a surprise – HARP College of Magics in hard and softcover!
Thanks Nicholas – I do like getting those surprises! Apparently Nicholas ordered these on October 14, it shipped on the 17th and arrived on the 21st.
As these find a hallowed place upon the gaming shelf, I again can see the high quality of the hardcover as it has no discernible difference to the many “print run” products I also have, and even playing around with them, opening and closing – these feel solid and well-bound. Hey folks, we don’t make ANY extra money selling hard or softcover vs. PDFs, so I have no agenda to push it other than to educate people to the fact that you have a choice and print on demand WORKS.
College of Magic’s will be a useful tool for any HARP campaign – good explanation on magic and how it works, with multiple types to fit any campaign. And to further fit into a home-grown world, rules on creating and designing spells – handy for GM and player’s alike. And for added flavour to any campaign, new magic using classes and lots more new spells.
Enjoy!
– John
Iron Crown Enterprises’ Newsletter – October 2013
To receive this monthly newsletter direct to your inbox, sign up to our MAILING LIST now.
I don’t want to jinx it (given the month hasn’t actually finished yet) but October has been a brilliant month! We may not have made any earth shattering announcements this month, but what we have done is work on/start/complete a whole bunch of smaller projects which have got me really excited. Read on to find out more…
Catch up on what you’ve missed with this month’s Director’s Briefing.
ROLEMASTER
This month we made an announcement that, in conjunction with one of our fans, we were working on an new e-support product known as the Rolemaster Combat Minion.
The software is still undergoing some minor tweaks before being released, but the plan is to release the software itself for free with the ability to buy data files to populate it. These data files will contain weapons and critical tables so that you can manage the combat in your games quickly and easily.
We will release further information as we get it and will make an announcement the second the software is completed. In the time being you can read more information and take a look at a few previews of the software on the dedicated Rolemaster Combat Minion thread on our forum.
HARP
This month has saw the release of HARP College of Magics in softcover and hardcover format. College of Magics expands the depth and breadth of HARP magic and covers:
- What is magic and how does it work
- New types of magic, including natural magic, alchemy, and enchantment
- Rules for creating and designing new spells
- New HARP spells
- A primer on temporary and permanent magic item design
- New professions including the Elementalist, the Vivamancer, the Thaumaturge and the Necromancer
In addition to all this, a quartet of artists have provided a wonderful collection of new, inspiring and relevant illustrations which can now be enjoyed in the splendor of high quality printed hardcover and softcover books. Buy it now.
SETTINGS
This month’s director’s briefing saw an open call for Shadow World adventures. By this point the call has spread far and wide. If you’ve missed it however, here is what we’re looking for:
1) Adventures suitable for low level (to 5th), medium (6th to 10th), high (11th to 20th) adventuring parties.
2) Adventure locations, e.g. sites of interest to adventurers like outposts, fortresses, manses, cavern complexes, Coral Road entrances, etc.
3) Adventures and adventure locations for this round should be set in NW or NE Emer, or in Jaiman (with Xa-ar and Saralis of special interest).
4) Adventures and adventure locations must be consistent with canonical material and must not “break” Shadow World – no blowing up cities, killing off canonical NPCs, or derailing existing plotlines.
For more information and instructions on how to submit your adventures, visit our website.
PARTNERS

Battlefield Bangkok is a games store run by gamers for gamers, and is by far the leader and visionary for promoting table top gaming in Thailand. This unique agreement sees ICE allowing Battlefield Bangkok to print physical copies of English language product to be sold in Thailand.
ICE is hopeful that this relationship could serve as a model for other countries, as well as helping us generate ideas of how we can work with US and UK retailers to provide them with the ability to have physical copy in-store.

ICE in Battlefield Bangkok
Iron Crown Enterprises have signed an agreement with Battlefield Bangkok to reprint hardcopies of ICE products for sale in Thailand. This agreement is ONLY for the sale of hardcopy products.
Battlefield Bangkok is a games store run by gamers for gamers since May 2009, and by far the leader and visionary for pushing table top gaming in Thailand. This unique agreement sees ICE allowing Battlefield Bangkok to print physical copies of English language product to be sold in Thailand and helps to thwart the rampant problem of PDF plagiarism found generally in south east Asia.
ICE is hopeful that this relationship could serve as a role model for other countries, as well as helping us generate ideas of how we can work with US and UK retailers to provide them with the ability to have physical copy in-store to sell while limiting the risk. We wish Battlefield Bangkok the best of success not only with ICE products, but with their endeavours to grow table top gaming in general.
If you’re in Bangkok why not pop in, say hello and see what is on offer.
Open call for Shadow World adventures
We have been talking about putting out a call for Shadow World adventure material and are now ready to make that call.
What we are interested in:
1) Adventures suitable for low level (to 5th), medium (6th to 10th), high (11th to 20th) adventuring parties.
2) Adventure locations, e.g. sites of interest to adventurers like outposts, fortresses, manses, cavern complexes, Coral Road entrances, etc.
3) Adventures and adventure locations for this round should be set in NW or NE Emer, or in Jaiman (with Xa-ar and Saralis of special interest).
4) Adventures and adventure locations must be consistent with canonical material and must not “break” Shadow World – no blowing up cities, killing off canonical NPCs, or derailing existing plotlines. You may submit adventure plots where failure of adventurers to stop some peril will further an existing NPC or faction agenda, likewise PC success should only pose a modest setback to the NPC / faction. Do not create additional factions. All material will be reviewed by Terry K. Amthor for conformance with his vision and canon.
Please submit a 100 – 200 word synopsis to Nicholas Caldwell for our initial review. Assuming we are happy with the synopsis, we will invite you to write up your idea as a complete adventure or adventure location. Length should be five thousand to ten thousand words, plus Rolemaster stats (Classic and RMSS/FRP). All submissions must include any required maps, though we reserve the right to redraw maps to production quality.
Our intended deadline for full submissions is 31st December 2013. In return for copyright transfer, we will pay one US cent per published word, plus a complimentary copy of the final product in pdf and print-on-demand. You will get a full contract at the time of being invited to submit a full manuscript.
The goal of this is to create an occasional series of adventure collections for Shadow World along the lines of The Guild Adventurer. Frequency will depend upon sufficient contributions and sales demand; future issues will have additional regions available for setting adventures and locations.
Please post any questions on the Shadow World board on the ICE forum.
