FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Echoes of HeavenExperience New Adventure in a World for Rolemaster, HARP and d20
Salt
Lake City, Utah, December 26th, 2005 Final Redoubt Press
announces the upcoming release of a new game world: The Echoes of Heaven.
Enter Meridrin, a fallen world, sundered from Heaven and Hell alike in the final
days of the great War in Heaven. Here, brooding churches clash over matters of
doctrine and honest peasants struggle to stay alive in a world that has spiraled
beyond everyone’s control. Meridrin is sick, cut off from the light of Heaven
so that even the earth festers and boils under the influence of infernal ulcers,
pockets of Hell which impose themselves on reality: a dangerous force of evil in
an already teetering world. The world needs heroes. Will
you answer the call? The Echoes of Heaven
is an e-product scheduled for release second quarter 2006. Within, GMs and
players alike will explore a gritty and fascinating world that stands in the
shadow of its own past: a world that languishes in the absence of the light of
truth. The first product, including The Echoes of Heaven and the
introductory adventure The Throne of God, will give GM’s everything
they need to adventure in the world of Meridrin. It also launches a grand
campaign in the vein of Warhammer FRP’s The Enemy Within, Shadow World’s
Grand Campaign and the classic Dragonlance series. Here, players can
take their first steps on a journey of intrigue and adventure that will carry
them well into the highest levels of play. “I feel like it’s been
too long since a truly grand story arc has played out in the titles of a game
company,” Robert J Defendi, writer and publisher, said. “I
want to recapture some of that grand feeling I still get running in one of the
epic campaigns of old.” “E-publishing needs to
rethink its strategy,” Scott Llewelyn, series editor, said earlier this week.
“People out there are pricing straight PDF products at outrages costs. It’s
one thing if you have to worry about undercutting a print run, but we feel like
the prices of straight e-products need to come down to a level that motivates
buyers. I don’t know how many times I’ve refused to purchase a PDF
because the price was too unreasonable.” The Echoes of Heaven
will be a multi-stated world. Gamers will be able to download products stated
for HARP, Rolemaster, or d20, either separately or in reasonably priced bundles.
Source book and adventure bundles are scheduled for every one to two months
after the first release. About Final Redoubt Press Final Redoubt Press is an
