I understand that Loyd Blankenship's postings of SJG product release info has
been approved by the moderator and other net bigwigs, so on the assumption that
if I follow the same format we'll be safe as well, here are the new releases
from Ragnarok.

Ysgarth 6th Edition Basic Rules
This is a preliminary limited edition of the Ysgarth FRP system, with a full
color cover and 104 pages of rules and game background.  It includes complete
rules for character creation, combat and magic.  It is a roleplaying system
heavily oriented towards playing well-developed characters in a detailed world.
The mechanics are based around point-allocation and the use of skills.  In 
addition to the basic rules this edition includes exhaustive examples and 
numerous advanced and novice alternate rules.
Written by Dave Nalle
Cover by Stacy Drum
Retail Price $12

Ysgarth Adventure Anthology I
This is a collection of 8 adventures set in the world of Ysgarth.  Four are
in urban settings and four are in rural settings.  They include information
for use with Ysgarth, but they are written in such a way that they could easily
be used with any fantasy RPG mechanics.  All of the adventures offer unusual
situations and emphasize character role playing.
Written by Dave Nalle, Hans Dykstra and Jan Mierik
Retail Price $7

Firepower!
This is a modern-period firearms supplement for use with To Challenge Tomorrow.
It also includes conversion rules for GURPS, Hero System, Twilight 2000 and
other game systems.  It includes basic stats on hundreds of guns of all sorts,
plus mechanical suggestions for simple and realistic use of firearms which
can be adapted to any RPG.
Written by Charles Hardin
Retail Price $7

To Challenge Tomorrow Basic Rules
These are generic rule mechanics for use in any setting.  They are simple and
compact and easily plugged in to replace the rules that come with popular 
settings like Shadowrun or Vampire where the mechanics may not have the depth
that some players want.  TCT emphasizes character development and roleplaying 
with creativity.  The mechanics are based on point allocation and skills.  This
5th edition is now fully compatible with Ysgarth and includes expanded info
on skills and psychic abilities.
Written by Dave Nalle
Retail Price $5

Dark Continents (2nd Edition)
Dark Continents is a book of background material and adventures for play with
London by Night or with any other RPG where you'd like to use a Victorian
setting.  It includes rules for conversion to GURPS, Hero, Call of Cthulhu and
several other game systems.  The background covers the colonial world of the
British Empire from 1830 to 1940.  The four adventures are set in South Africa,
China, Egypt and Brazil.
Written by Dave Nalle & Lew Bryson
