These rivalries turn the Dark Gods against one another, surmounting in complicated games of dominance and manipulation no mortal can understand. In these times, the Chaos Gods test their newly ascended Greater Daemons and Daemons Princes by forcing them to wage war against one another on battlefields found within the Realms of Chaos. Daemons that are victorious over their brethren earn the favor of their God and are bestowed with a legion of daemonic soldiers for them to lead in the next great daemonic incursion. Now is one of those times!

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:40:33 -0600 http://www.borderlandsgames.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=83 We're getting alot of info for 4E Dungeons and Dragons from people that have managed to get their hands on the Races and Classes book early. For the most up to date news, check out enworld.org for constant updates. Here's an example of some of the new info... Power Sources: Additional power sources will be added in subsequent handbooks. It is stated, as an example, that there will be a Psi power source later on for psionics. Given this, the mind-affecting spells of wizards and clerics will be toned down or removed so that psions will have their own flavor. This is because the designers felt psionics weren’t different enough from magic before. Prestige Classes: Gone. There are replaced by Paragon paths (Levels 11-20) and Epic Paths (21-30). These paths will include new abilities characters of the appropriate classes can select, and some are taken from the old prestige classes (mystic adept, arcane archer, and weapon masters are mentioned, as are some new options like Prince of Knaves). Epic Paths also have something to do with the character’s destiny, and also open up new powerful abilities. Level Bonuses: Characters no longer have different rates of progression for attack bonuses and saving throws based on their class—these all progress at the same rate now. Every 10th level character will have a +5 bonus to AC, to hit, and all three saves, though class abilities, feats and ability scores will influence these. Presumably, Defenders will have more class abilities that grant attack bonuses to make them the best combatants. Every character at first level possesses certain boosts to these traits as Star Wars Saga Edition characters do (so a fighter probably starts with a +2 Fortitude save bonus, etc.). Feats: Certain feats require a certain character level, race or skill, but none require a certain class. This makes it easier to expand characters beyond their intended role if desired. Alignment: One major change to this system in 4E is the fact characters can choose to be “unaligned,” having no significant impulses towards good or evil. Characters can still choose to be good or evil (law and chaos are not mentioned), but most characters and monsters will be unaligned. Unsurprisingly, most spells and powers that revolve around alignment are now gone. Mon, 10 Dec 2007 17:47:20 -0700 http://www.borderlandsgames.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=82 This is a bit of old news but for those that don't know, one of the most beloved Fantasy Novels, Dragonlance, will be finding its way to the big screen (or at least direct to DVD) this January. The film, entitled Dragons of Autumn Twilight, will attempt to capture Weis and Hickman's universe with a mix of traditional and CG animation. You can see the trailer below and get some more info on the official site. So what do you think? Will they do the Novels justice or fail to capture the essence of one of the most popular fantasy franchises? Sound off in our forums! Mon, 26 Nov 2007 19:47:10 -0700 http://www.borderlandsgames.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=81 Wizards of the Coast D&D Insider articles continue to shed light on the upcoming changes to 4th Edition. In the most recent Design and Development article, we're awarded with a sneak peek at some current feats. The example is below and you can view all the Design and Development articles here. AlertnessTier: Heroic Benefit: You don’t grant enemies combat advantage in surprise rounds. You also gain a +2 feat bonus to Perception checks. First ReactionTier: Paragon Benefit: If you are surprised, you may spend an action point to act during the surprise round. Golden Wyvern AdeptTier: Paragon Benefit: You can omit a number of squares from the effects of any of your area or close wizard powers. This number can’t exceed your Wisdom modifier.
