Phalanx
Games Design (PGD) is a game design company (if that’s not too big a
label for what is basically a one man operation … see “Who
is
this Guy?”
for details) – designing Role Playing Games. NOT
the electronic/computer sort, but the pencil-and-paper sort first
introduced to an unsuspecting world in 1975 or thereabouts with the
seminal release of Gary Gygax’s Dungeons
and Dragons. PGD
currently has two products available and several more in various stages
of preparation – the two books currently available are part of the Road
to Armageddon series

Currently
only available for EABA, a StaRPLay V2.0 rewrite was almost complete
when the decision was made to change over to EABA – and may appear one
day :-) In
the meantime, the first two rulebooks – · Road
to Armageddon: Player’s Handbook (US$10) · Road
to Armageddon: Game Master’s Handbook (US$14) Are
available (see the Products
page for details). Rather than buying them separately, you can purchase
them as the … · Game Master’s Pack which includes both (and the license to print two extra copies of the PHB) for a bargain basement US$20. · Deluxe
Pack + License (PHB + 6, GMB +2) – US$30 Extra
licenses for PHB’s are available as well, but only for those who
already have the PHB or GM’s pack, as they are just licenses
(i.e. no downloads are included) … · Extra
Single PHB License – US$6 · Game Group License (x5 PHB) – US$20 |

The
Road to Armageddon background is currently available only using the EABA
core game rules from BTRC (at a modest US$12) under their open system
license – these are available from www.btrc.net
and www.hyperbooks.com
as well as most of the eBook distributors for gaming material listed on
the Links
page. Though
originally designed for GURPS and, for most of its commercial existence
to date, working under PGD’s Standard
Role Playing
system, the ease of use and elegance of BTRC’s EABA rules – not to
mention the open system license – were so attractive that the whole
game was rewritten to utilize them. The original StarPlay 2.0 release, as well as releases for other similarly licensable systems, may eventually appear as well … but, for the moment, it’s only available for EABA. RtA
is a post-apocalyptic world/campaign setting – with a twist (see the Road
to Armageddon
page by clicking on the button to your left). |
