As anyone who has visited this website knows, it has been dormant for quite some time. I last published a book in 2013, which was a decade ago, and the last time I posted was in 2018, which was five years ago. Despite my lack of recent activity, the storefront, d20 modern character generator, and Tiamat tile mapper have remained active. However, the software running all these tools is quite outdated and poses a security risk. I'm faced with the choice of either upgrading everything or taking the site down. Frankly, upgrading will require too much time and money, neither of which I have right now. So, I plan to bring down this website in the coming months.

If you're reading this post, please log in and download all your ebooks, maps, and other files. I won't be deleting anything; instead, I will replace this site with a placeholder that includes contact information so customers can still access their books. However, it won't be as convenient for you or for me.

You will still have the option to purchase ebooks from DriveThruRPG.com and print books from Amazon. I may consider setting up a new storefront for selling books, as there are many software solutions available for that. However, the character generator and mapping software present a different challenge as they are custom-coded.

Regarding the d20 Modern Character Generator, I may consider making the code open source on GitHub. Although the code is quite old, it has the potential for improvement, and perhaps someone else can modernize it or individuals can run it locally.

As for Tiamat, please refrain from buying any additional tiles or maps that you cannot use immediately. There is no viable upgrade path for this tool, and it costs more to maintain than it generates in revenue. There are numerous other excellent mapping tools available, making open-sourcing the code (excluding the tiles) seem unnecessary.

I hope to publish again someday. I have numerous adventures, settings, and other games that are mostly complete, waiting for me to finish when I have more time. However, I've been saying that for years. :)

So, to reiterate, please log in and download all your ebooks, maps, and other files.

Post-Apocalypse20 is the ultimate resource for taking your modern20 game to the end of the world and beyond.

By popular demand, the Darwin's World Gazetteer is now in print.

Also, new stock has arrived for Fertile Crescent, Ruin at the end of the World, Lost City, and Modern Backdrops.

I regret to say that the print edition of The Ruin at the End of the World has a significant defect. It seems one whole section of the city is missing (The Enclave section).

When Brian Nichol (thanks) reported the error to me, I wasn't surprised. I did after all prepare 40+ books for printing in under two months. I expected some errors. However, oddly enough this error has existed in the printer friendly version since its initial release! So the rush didn't cause the error. Odd indeed.

Regardless, I've update the PDF and due to the beauty of Print On Demand publishing, I've updated the master files at Amazon, so all books sold from this point forward will be correct.

For those that already purchase a print book, contact me and I'll do what I can to make it right. -chris

My initial shipment of print book arrived Tuesday and I've updated my inventory system. There are a few stragglers that haven't arrived yet, but currently all of the Modern d20, Fantasy d20 and Darwin's World books are now in stock.

Still outstanding are one Ture20 book (BNF) and two GM Mastery books. The reprint of NPC Essentials will take some time as I've lost the original (doah!) and need to have it scanned.

Here's a complete list of books In Stock:

All the Darwin's World print books I sent to Amazon are ready for printing. Again, the quickest way possible to get one is to buy it from Amazon as they appear. Sadly they are sort of hard to find there. Search by name is your best bet.

I also put all the books on sale in our storefront.

Like with Burning Lands, I don't have stock yet. I'll be placing my order for stock to sell on rpgobjects.com on Sunday. I won't be getting a ton as it would break me to stock deeply the 40+ books I printed. If you want to buy it from me directly (which I and the designers appericate), please do so before then and I'll make sure I have enough.

Until I actually received stock, all the print books are 15% off.

One additional note, some books, specifically the larger adventure patchs such as Haildom, have been combined into one book. I have discontinued selling them in parts and now just sell the one product. If you had purchased most of the single products of these lines, you had the new book added to your account.

News on other print books (modern d20, legends, true20, GM Mastery) forthcoming.

I’m very pleased to officially announce that Burning Lands (a Darwin’s World Novel) is now on sale.

The quickest to buy a print copy is too order directly from Amazon.

If you’re willing to be patient and want too help out RPGObjects (and the author, Dominic Covey), consider buying directly from RPGObjects. We make considerably more per book when we sell direct.

However, please note that I’m taking orders this week and then placing a print run order this Friday (Dec 19th). So you’re looking at about 1-2 weeks of delivery time after this Friday.

In exchange for your support, all orders place before I actually get my stock will get a FREE Darwin’s World pdf of your choice. Just email me your choice after purchase.

The PDF version is also available and I will be placing the book into Amazon Kindle in the near future.

In preparation of their printing, both the Darwin's World Campaign Guide and Terrors of the Twisted Earth have been updated. There are some minor typo and rules changes, but mostly they have just been reformatted to reflect they are no longer part of a larger book (i.e. the page start at 1 now).

I’m very pleased to announce RPGObjects has signed a deal to print books through Amazon.com’s BookSurge.

For years I’ve been searching for a reliable and cost effective way to print our ebooks and now with Booksurge I’ve finally found it.

So what does these mean? By years end, I will be printing nearly RPGObjects’ entire catalog. We’ll be starting with popular modern d20 lines such as Darwin’s World, Blood and Guts, and Blood and Space. But eventually, everything will get printed.

The other good news is that you will be able to purchase print editions at Amazon.com, RPGObjects, as well as bookstores by request.

As I alluded to before, this is the deal that was holding up our upcoming Darwin’s World novel, Burning Lands. But as I write this press release, the book is being upload to BookSurge and should be available soon.

Check back for news on what books have been sent to the print.
