The Game Player's Guidebook Updates
| September 19th, 2000 |

In case you haven't noticed it yet, or if you're new to
the DragonSpawn web site, the site has been changed to a completely new format, one
that is, hopefully, easier to navigate and quicker to use. This page was, of course,
one of the pages that changed, thus the update. Enjoy! |

It's been a long time since the last update, but, finally,
I've got another one. This one has all of the defense skills filled in, some data on
ranged combat, and a few little tidbits here and there. I know it's not much, but it's
been a crazy year. What can I say, but, "Enjoy!" |
| March 10th, 1999 |
| Well, I've gotten a little more done, a few more skills a little more information here and there, a couple more pictures and so forth. I've cleaned up a little formatting and tried to clean up some other things. Enjoy! |

Thanks to a little begging around, I've gotten someone to convert
the Game Player's Guidebook (October 27th, 1998 edition) to Adobe's PDF format. If you want
to see all of the books in this format, please send me an e-mail using the
contacts page. Enjoy! |

About time I put something new up here. Even though it's not
a lot of changes, there are some proof-reading corrections included, and a few more
skills filled in. It's been slow going since I've been working so hard, and since
my wife got her job. Soon I'll be done teaching, though, and then I'll have a little
more time in the evenings to get a little work done. After cleaning up a few things, and inserting a few more images, the book picked up a few extra pages. Enjoy! |

Some of you may have noticed some rules that appeared
and then mysteriously disappeared. You weren't dreaming. To make a long story
short, I goofed. I accidentally edited an older version and then both versions became out of sync. Some things were added in one, but it lacked things that had been added in other places and so forth. The general gist is, the book got shorter instead of longer. Well, fear not gentle reader, for all this is now in the past. Both versions have been merged, nothing was lost, joyous day, and so forth. In addition, I finally finished every Magecraft skill listing. That's right! One whole skill section is complete. If you want to play a mage, you've got everything you'll ever need. In addition, some of the general skills have been filled in, and, to make it short, the book is now 124 pages in length. Enjoy! |

Updates and extensions to the combat system,
more of the close combat weapons described, ability feats, and a some
general clean-up items. Enjoy! |

Let's see, character sheets, initiative rules,
some minor cosmetic changes, and, oh yeah, combat rules. Both a simple
and an optional combat system. Enjoy! |

The first update of the new year, this one
includes more skills filled in, descriptions of the equipment and more.
For the first time, the book is over 100 pages! |

Happy holidays! Another update has been made to the
Game Player's Guidebook. This time, it's mostly cosmetic, but it does
include the first artwork included in the book. The text font has been
changed again, the margins adjusted. In short, a lot of small cosmetic
things that improve the overall appearance of the book. Enjoy! |

Merry Christmas! And, as a Christmas present,
another update has been made to the Game Player's Guidebook. Several more
skills are laid out, including several of the magecraft skills. Lots of
new information has been added, including Devotion skills for those
priestly types, and a few general skills. Also, the text font is more
readable. All in all, it is becoming obvious that sometime early next year it will be possible to play a game of DragonSpawn. I'll be looking for groups willing to play-test the material. If you're willing, please go to the comments page and send me a message to that effect. In the meantime, Happy Holidays! |

Updated to include descriptions of all the
ability scores, equipment lists with prices, information on all the
different races and how to role play them, and some sample spells.
It includes a new section on character history and character naming.
The skills that were added were updated to correct form, and the method
for determining the number of skill slots available to the character
was added. This new information represents about a 20% increase in the size of the book. Also some formatting errors were corrected to fix printing on double sided sheets, i.e. the way it is intended to be printed. |
| October 29th, 1997 |
| The Game Player's Guidebook page is updated to the new DragonSpawn format. In addition some new information is added to the book, including the first small, incomplete, section on combat. Also included are the first fleshed-out skills for the system, centering on the close combat skills. |
| April 3rd, 1997 |
| Several new chapters have been added to the Game Player's Guidebook, including a section on Advancement, spell casting, fatigue, and armor. |
| October 18th, 1996 |
| The Game Player's Guidebook page has been updated. Some new information is available, and stubs have been put in place for most of the remaining chapters. |
| March 29th, 1996 |
