Troll Hoot!  Troll Hoot is coming!  Troll hoot is coming!  And there's a link!

January 17, 2010
Thanks for all your support with the PeryPub 2010 Art Funding Drive. We got 80% of what we were asking for, which is enough to work with!

January 4, 2010
To help us start the new year right, allow us to announce the PeryPub 2010 Art Funding Drive. For a mere $40 (US), ten lucky (disclaimer: luck not included) patrons can help finance the artwork, co-writers, and editors on our projects. What will this get you? If only we had Vanna White to show the prize...  Oh, and Troll Hoot 2010 has found a home.

November 23, 2009 - We've got a big new series of projects in development. We're not ready to reveal all the details yet, but it might rhyme with "Grunnels and Groles." (Also: WHAP #1 and CrawlSpace are still creepy-crawling forward. Mike Larsen is giving Rock'n Role-Playing some serious playtesting. Troll Hoot 2010 is in the planning stage.)

August 19, 2009 - We're back from Gen Con and so is the new Peryton Fantasy RPG!  Order a copy today, then go read Kopfy's blog and take a look at some more Gen Con pictures.

July 14, 2009 - WHAP Deluxe is here!  This is the deluxe upgraded Wildly Heroic Action Pulp (WHAP) system for Tom's Adventure Gaming, designed for Western, Steampunk, High Adventure, and other cliffhanger staples. Built from the Tom's Adventure Gaming (TAG) system, it includes all the rules you need to get started playing. This product also includes "The Wobble Machine," an introductory adventure that shows you just how far WHAP can take you. Information on this year's Zombie Walk is posted now.  Click here for the lowdown on the big shamble of 2009.  

June 24, 2009
-  Origins is coming!  Okay, for some people it's already started, but we won't be there until this weekend.  Look for shiny new TAG, T&T, and Peryton RPG events run by Tom & Robin.  We won't have our own booth in the exhibit hall, but look for our stuff at the Studio 2 booth.  That goes for Gen Con as well: remember Studio 2 → Peryton.  Seeya there!

June 4, 2009 - MARCon was a lot of fun, but not very strong on the gaming.  See Kopfy's Blog where he whines about his foot and makes a couple of brief references to the con.  In the cool news category, click on the red peryton over to the right to find out about Peryton the musician and check out some of his music.  Supplies are very limited so order soon!  I know everybody says that, but really, we don't have many of these.

May 18, 2009
- MARCon is coming up this weekend and we'll be there to run some world-hopping adventures for True20 and BRP, a Tunnels and Trolls adventure, and another go at an old Peryton RPG mainstay, "Escape from the Artificer."  More news on upcoming products after the con.

April 2, 2009 - So no one bought that we were going out of business in two weeks? Okay, next year will be funnier.  Fans of the popular gaming download store DriveThruRPG will soon be finding more and more of our products there.  Our first DriveThru release (also soon to be appearing on game store shelves everywhere) is Qalidar.  Also, POW!erful Tales is now available for purchase and our Silver's Jungle and Wobble Machine PDF's are burning up the modems!

April 1, 2009 - ...Buy now because we're going out of business in two weeks.  Turns out we hate games, and we're not too sure about this World Wide Interweb thing either.

March 25, 2009 - Our second Cliffhanger PDF adventure for the WHAP! system is here! In The Silver's Jungle, the player characters are summoned to Bogo, a port city in the western Belgian Congo, by the governor himself to investigate a series of murders, believed to have been performed by a rogue silver-back guerrilla and then resolve the situation. Download it today for only $4.99! 

March 8, 2009 - POW!erful Tales is coming soon! For now, though, we have a special PDF treat for you, our first Cliffhanger adventure for the WHAP! system. In The Wobble Machine, an introductory scenario for TAG's WHAP! pulp adventure system, heroes are charged with investigating mysterious raiders who are stealing artifacts from across time, and capturing the technology they use to do it. Download it today for only $1.99!

February 12, 2009 - And now for the announcement we promised: Troll Tunnels is now available for Amazon's Kindle Reader. You can download the whole book, including all the full-page illustrations, for $5.59, unless you don't have a Kindle, in which case it's $364.59. That last part will probably not be mentioned in future advertisements.  Also, if you're a retailer, you can now order our stuff through Alliance and other major distributors world-wide. Drop us a line if you're interested in carrying something that we haven't made available yet and we'll bump it up in the roster.

February 4, 2009 - Snowy greetings from Burning River City! Expect a surprise bit of news from us in the next few days. I can say no more!

December 31, 2008Thanks for a great ride in 2008, and we hope you'll stick with us in 2009 because, like the Doctor's daughter said, we've got "planets to save, civilizations to rescue, creatures to defeat, and an awful lot of running to do!"  (And maybe a few people to thank, too.)

December 15, 2008Submissions have closed for POW!erful Tales and we're busy putting the book together.  We're not really intersted in looking at stories for our other upcoming collections just yet, but we'll be happy to sit on them for a few months and ignore you until then, if you want to go ahead and send them anyway.  Oh, and best of the Thanksgivoween season to you and yours!  Qalidar will stay at its discounted rate until the end of the year, after which it goes up to $14.99, so get it extra-cheap while you can!  It's getting great reviews so far.

November 10, 2008WHAP! #1 has gone into hiding for revision, but you can still download the rules for $0.99 and the adventures will be back soon. And now, at long last, Qalidar is ready! Pick up this dark, uniquely stylish fantasy setting for the True20 game now at $11.99 because the price will go up soon!

October 21, 2008 -   The first Christina Lea episode of Voidfarers is now available in the "free novel" section. Qalidar may be pushed back to November because the cover artist's computer crashed. He's darn good, though, so really, it'll be worth the wait. In the meantime, don't forget to take a look at WHAP!, featuring new writer Michael Larsen (who is big into something he calls Rock'n Role-Playing), new editor Lad Hannes, and that same old Tom K. Loney guy you're already tired of.

October 6, 2008 -  Con on the Cob is over, and now... WHAP! No, that's not you being scolded for spotting the carpet; it's three new Wildly Heroric Action Pulp adventures by Tom K. Loney and Mike Larsen, bound into one big 70-page book with TAG rules and sample characters, and slamming its way into your mailbox for only $8.99. Get your copy now before we roll it up and hit you with it! Later this month, expect the next shot of our free online serial, Voidfarers, along with the commercial release of Qalidar, maybe a revised Peryton RPG, and Halloween.

August 29, 2008 - Kind of coming out of nowhere this month (well October really) is our new Saga, Wildly Heroic Action Pulp: WHAP! for TAG. Our "staff writer," Mike Larsen has been the major push behind the scenarios you'll be reading, even if he just doesn't talk about it a whole lot. Really, he just drops about six adventures within six weeks, and we were looking for some new stuff to present at Con on the Cob. It's Peryton's turn at our Voidfarers story. Let's wish her luck... as soon as she's done with Qalidar... and Peryton RPG... and Loar. Qalidar, at least, will all polished up with a special limited signed and numbered edition at Con on the Cob. Con on the Cob will be the only place you can buy this early edition. The standard edition will be available for purchase for everyone else a couple of weeks later. The sequel to Troll Tunnels already has submissions, and POW!erful Tales is filling up as fast as MC Lea can sort through the submissions.

August 9, 2008 - Between Flying Buffalo Con and the upcoming GenCon this month, things have been a little tight here, but at last the second chapter of Voidfarers is ready for viewing! Speaking of fiction, we need submissions for fiction! Some of us are already working on the sequel to Troll Tunnels, Tunnels and Trouble, we're thinking of calling it. Robin is busy plugging away at her Peryton RPG revision and Qalidar, while Tom, aka Kopfy, aka the Laggy, is mostly just keeping up with the scenarios he's lined up for the conventions. Fear not he's still getting things done!  Also, TAG has been getting a lot of interest these days, so here are some spiffy character sheets for SPACERS and RuinCrawl. There's even one for the WHAP! play-test sessions we've been having. It's taken us three years, but hey, you know, we were, like, busy or something.

July 1, 2008 - We've got two long-promised Peryton creations ready to poke their horns into the light this Autumn, and one brand new one. First is Loar: Lair of the Minotaur, a mid-level adventure for the Peryton Fantasy RolePlaying Game. Also ready to thaw out from a long hibernation is Qalidar, Lost City of the Perytons. Qalidar will be our first product under Green Ronin's True20 license. Finally, we're putting together a revised and corrected edition of Peryton RPG. Don't worry - this version and all its supplements will be fully compatible with the current one because it is, in fact, the same game. It's just rearranged to help make it even more improvisation-friendly and to add some new goodies. All three products are due for release this October, although Loar and the PRPG revision may sneak out earlier. Oh, and Troll Tunnels just keeps on selling. Thanks!

June 18, 2008 - Voidfarers, Chapter 1 is now posted! This chapter introduces the heroes (readers of Troll Tunnels will already know Sash the Green) and future supplements will come around the 15th of every month. And hey, it's the convention season! We hope to see you at Origins, the Flying Buffalo Convention, GenCon, and our favorite, Con on the Cob, this year.

May 31, 2008 - This month, we're rekindling Sash the Green's (of Troll Tunnel fame) first appearance with the on-line release of the Voidfarers novel in monthly installments. The story has been totally revamped and written by Michael Eidson, Christina Lea, and Tom K. Loney. We're starting with a short prologue right now, to be followed on June 20th by the first full chapter.

May 2, 2008 - Troll Tunnels is here! For only $9.99, you can own this solid collection of sword and sorcery tales by Michael K. Eidson, Christina Lea, Michael Lea, Tom K. Loney, James L. Shipman, and Ken St. Andre. In addition to its 166 pages of fantastic prose, Troll Tunnels also features a painted cover by Simon Lee Tranter and interior art by Régis Moulun, Mike Hartlieb, and Diego Gisbert Llorens. As the Trollgod himself (Ken St. Andre) says, "you should buy a copy"!

April 1, 2008 - The Troll Hoot is almost here, and with it, the next revolution in gaming! Tired of cumbersome rules and dice getting in the way of your role-playing? Disgusted with game designers deciding what your character can or can't do? Are you ready to set your imagination free? Then maybe you're ready for Stare at the Wall! Also, you could scroll down to the saga section and check out Stone's Edge for wild Ice Age fun with TAG.

March 16, 2008 - In honor of St. Patty (that's our story and we're stickin' to it) the complete TAG sci-fi (FreeFall) rules are now available for only 99 cents! This is in addition to the RuinCrawl rules released earlier this month. These downloads provide the all the rules without the adventures. Perfect if you just want to run your own campaign with TAG or try out the system for less than a dollar! Go to the TAG page for more information. And lest we forget, our Troll Hoot and the short collection, Troll Tunnels, are coming in April!

March 3, 2008 - Alas, poor Caesar, we have not forgotten thee! For as you lie awaiting the Ides of March, we shall give unto you what is yours and make available special PDF's of the TAG rules systems. As of today, you can get yourself a copy of the complete TAG fantasy (RuinCrawl) rules for only 99 cents! Also coming this month will be the Spacer rules. These downloads provide the all the rules without the adventures. Perfect if you just want to run your own campaign with TAG or try out the system for less than a dollar! Friends, GM's and citizens, cry havok and let loose the dogs of war with TAG! Click here to buy the RuinCrawl rules or go to the TAG page for more information. And lest we forget, our Troll Hoot and the short collection, Troll Tunnels, are coming in April!

January 7, 2008 - Not only is there a brand new Troll Hoot on the horizon (early April) with some great events and a spiffy poster, but we're going to have some special stuff ready to show off when we get there. This includes the long-delayed Loar: Lair of the Minotaur module for Peryton RPG (with the infamous owlbear dilemma that we so love to spring on unsuspecting convention players) and possibly even the Troll Tunnels short story collection!

December 31, 2007 - On the edge of a new year, we just wanted to share a few words borrowed from the Doctor. "It's all waiting out there. Everything's brand new to me: all those planets, creatures, and horizons. I haven't seen them yet - not with these eyes. And it is gonna be fantastic."

December 9, 2007With the New Year fast approaching, we'd like to thank Si, Ziggy, Armbruster, Monk, Pneumonica, Regis, Diego, Mandy B., Caed, DCRaygun, de Castro, and MCLEA (with a special tip of the non-existent hat to Stony for helping out with certain secret projects) for all their help in making Peryton Publishing a quality joint - online, in print, and in person. And we'd like to thank all of the new customers and contributors that are helping to make 2008 look like a fairly fun and successful year. Just in time for Christmas, Kopfy's Caverns is here! The second annual Troll Hoot is in the works. POW! is on its way, with great art accompanying our humble TAG rules. The Peryton RPG is gathering material for a serious release of some scenarios. Last but not least, our fiction release Troll Tunnels is well underway. 

November 16, 2007 - Back from Con on the Cob, but we'll be traveling again soon for Thanksgiving, then putting stuff together for Troll Tunnels. This means we are interested in submissions if you've got a sword & sorcery tale you'd like to share. Check the "contact" page for information on rates. 

October 23, 2007 - It's not ready for sale yet (we're sill playtesting) but Simon Tranter's cover for the upcoming POW!  (Powers Out of this World) game so totally rocks that we've got to show it to you anyway. We'll be playtesting "What Price Liberty" at Con on the Cob this year so stop by and see us if you'd like a closer look. Like all TAG adventures, this one will include all the rules you need to run not only the adventure itself, but a full campaign of your own.  We're running three events at Con on the Cob this year: Powers Out of this World (the aforementioned TAG superhero game), The Dark Cave (Peryton RPG), and Return to Sihlt-Awash (TAG fantasy).

October 17, 2007 - Curious about the Peryton RPG but not sure you want to buy the whole book? Now you can get an abridged but fully functional edition, complete with sample adventure, all the new classes, and the full details on knacks, magic item creation, and the Peryton advancement system, for less than a dollar. You can get to Peryton Lite from the Peryton RPG page or by clicking here.

September 4, 2007 - Having braved the fires of Gen Con and been re-forged, our latest FreeFall adventure, Rocket-Men vs the Saucers II: The Straits of Sub-Light, is now being distributed to the masses for a mere $7.99. Like all TAG adventures, Straits of Sublight has all the rules you need to play right in the book, so call your friends, get out your rayguns, and see if you can save the Icarus X-1 before it disappears from our universe forever!

August 25, 2007 - Back from Gen Con. Read Kopfy's Blog for more on that adventure. Soon we'll be releasing the commercial version of the FreeFall, Rocket-Men vs the Saucers II: The Straits of Sublight. Also, due to better-than-expected sales, we're lowering the price of Imp Hollow and future publications of the same size to $7.99!

August 07, 2007 - We've just put together a special treat for a lucky few among those of you who find us at Gen Con (Indy) this year - a slick printed version of Rocket-Men vs the Saucers II: The Straits of Sublight with a cover by Simon Lee Tranter and interior art by Régis Moulun! Sure, the regular edition will be for sale here later, but you'll only have one chance to snag one that says "Gen Con 07" on it. Unless you write it on there yourself, of course. But that's just tacky. We're signed up to run five events at Gen Con '07.

July 29, 2007 - Today's news should be fairly obvious: NEW WEB PAGE! Pop by the forum and let us know what you think. 

July 24, 2007 - It's here! Our first TAG adventure, Imp Hollow, is ready to buy. Click it in the "On Sale Now" column or just click right here to find out more about this fantastic new supplement featuring art by John Armbruster, Diego Gisbert Llorens, Andy Hopp, Régis Moulun, and more!

July 22, 2007 - Coming veeerrry soon: our first TAG adventure, Imp Hollow.  This scenario will also contain all the rules you need to play it, so the Hollow will be a complete game session between two covers (players not included). And just so you know we're serious, here's the cover, courtesy of Diego Gisbert Llorens.

June 23, 2007 - Something about Free RPG Day.  Forgot to copy the original post before updating last time. Oops.

June 4, 2007 - The forum is back online.  Thanks to Pair Networks for responding so quickly (on the weekend even) and being ready for this kind of thing in advance.

June 2, 2007 - Yes, the forum is down for right now, but it will be back.  We're working on it. 

April 2, 2007 - We're back from the Troll Hoot, which was... well... a hoot. All the good dirt can be found at Kopfy's Kreche (linked in the "Never Click Here" box, below).

March 31, 2007 - Laggy's Adventure Gaming (LAG) is now Tom's Adventure Gaming (TAG). For more information, see the forums. Development has begun on Isun, the next World of Elder supplement. More news may be forthcoming after we get back from the Troll Hoot.

February 20, 2007 - We're through with MegaCon, Athebes is still looking good, and everything is on track to make this an eventful spring and summer. There's even a facelift for the home page coming up. Keep your eye on this space and the forum for more news.

January 4, 2007 - Happy New Year! 2007 is going to be the Year of the Peryton! This is not as horrible as it may sound. We've got a new string of freebies rolling out starting this week, we've got Athebes streaking through final draft phase, and there are minotaurs and spacemen peering over the horizon. Sure, a few unfortunates may be gored and eaten by malevolent flying beasties, but they probably had it coming!

December 8, 2006 - Thanks to Mister Simon Lee Tranter, Athebes has a cover! Scroll down a bit and take a peek. And if you like that, you'll love what's inside! We're looking at a release date around January 15 for the book.

November 5, 2006 - We're back from Con on the Cob which, by the way, totally rocked! Thanks to Kali Z. and Rob B. who helped us playtest Ruin Quest. We also met some great new artists and played some cool games, and now we're ready to get back to work. Look for a free PDF supplement to Peryton RPG within a week or so, and Athebes sometime this winter.

October 19, 2006 - Con on the Cob is coming! Don't forget to look for us there. We'll be running two LAG adventures and a Tunnels & Trolls session. Athebes has been postponed a bit, but it should still be ready by mid-winter.

August 20, 2006 - Gen Con is over and we're getting ready for Con on the Cob with two LAG adventures and a Tunnels & Trolls session. Peryton Fantasy RPG is now available online and we're putting the final touches on the Athebes setting for this fall.

August 1, 2006 - The Peryton RPG is ready to order now! Also, don't forget to check out our new Rocketmen vs the Saucers teaser in Upcoming Events and Ruin Quest in the Developing Projects box.

July 27, 2006 - It's on its way! If all goes according to plan, the Peryton RPG will be ready to order by the middle of next week! And don't forget to check out Ruin Quest in the Developing Projects box.

May 14, 2006 - We've rearranged the front page a bit to give you more information on Athebes, the Primal Land, a new setting we're planning to put out in October, so scroll on down and check it out.

April 22, 2006 - Scroll down for a bit of a treat. That's not quite what the final layout will look like, but it does give you an early glimpse of Janeen Satone's fantastic cover art. The Peryton RPG, as previously stated, should be ready for release this August at the very latest.

March 22, 2006 - Everything but the gloss is done on the Peryton RPG. Also, keep checking back for updates on our convention events. If all goes according to plan, we'll be running introductory adventures for both Peryton RPG and L.A.G. at Gen Con Indy 2006.

December 19, 2005 - Okay, so we paused a bit to play with something new: we have our very own forum now! Stop in and say hi. Or else. Now I guess we'd better get back to putting out some actual products, eh? In other news, Laggy's Adventure Gaming system (L.A.G.) is back on the development roster, and the Peryton RPG is almost ready.

October 22, 2005 - Work on the RPG project has really picked up. We're almost ready to give you a taste. In the meantime, we've at least added a bit of peryton lore for the curious. Scroll down to learn more about these mysterious creatures.

September 13, 2005 - For one thing, you might have noticed the new entry in the "Upcoming Events" box over to the left. Second, playtesting on the Peryton RPG has revealed a few rules that need to be tweaked, and of course we're still hard at work turning all these notes into something that makes sense and looks pretty.

August 23rd, 2005 - We're back from Gen Con and we've still got tentacles on the brain. Met some great people and played a lot of games. Now it's back to work, slaving over a hot... okay, room temperature keyboard and getting our own game back on track. As you can see, we at least managed to make a few more changes to the web page and more are coming!

August 15th, 2005 - We're off to Gen Con in a couple of days, so you won't be hearing any news about the Peryton RPG or any of our other projects until next week. Seeya in Indianapolis!

August 5th, 2005 - Okay, so the False Starts announcement was a bit of a false start itself. That project will probably take a different form, somewhat later. The main reason is that the Peryton RPG is really coming along and we're focusing all our energy on that, for now.

July 30th, 2005 - The playtest of Peryton RPG is going well, but we're not just sitting back and watching. Soon we'll be accepting submissions for False Starts, a fiction magazine with a theme you've never seen before, one that's probably a bad idea, even. Guidelines will be released in a week or so and then you'll see what we mean.

July 21st, 2005 - The playtest edition of the Peryton Role-Playing Game™ is back from the printer and going out to several hives of scum and villainy as we speak. This game features enough core mechanics from the world's most popular role-playing game to make it easily compatible with their supplements, but has been streamlined to create a faster, more exciting tabletop experience with less bookkeeping and prep time.

July 16th, 2005 - Welcome back to Peryton Publishing. We got kinda sleepy for a while, but now we're back with some new tricks and some new projects. Okay, so we still haven't gone any farther with Voidfarers or Ziggurat Builders but hey, they're not hurting anybody. Expect more printed publications. Expect to hear about a whole new take on Lovecraftian gaming and about the best d20 variant rules you've ever seen.
