2010 is going to prove to be a fairly fruitful year for Stardust Publications and the Dark Aeons game line. We have plans to release the following products within the next several months; please keep in mind that all release dates are based on when we expect the products to be ready for release to the public.

As of yesterday, all of the copies that are available through Lulu.com, DriveThruRPG.com, and RPGNow.com have gotten the new print or pdf files. For those of you that have purchased a PDF copy of Dark Aeons through DriveThruRPG or RPGNow, all of have to do is log into your accounts there and you should be able to download a new and much prettier copy of the book that you purchased from us.

* Dark Aeons Retailers discounts
For those physical game shops that would like to carry the Dark Aeons: The Atlantean Chronicles RPG, we are able to give you 50% keystone for the copies that you choose to order.

(You will be required to sign an agreement that legally states that you do run a physical game store and are not trying to pull a fast one on us in order get cheap books for you and your friends)

* The Psychics Handbook
We expect this book to be releasing within the next 2 months, so expect for a release around end of February or early march.

* Arkham: City of Secrets
This book was originally planned for release on Devils Night in 2009 (Oct 30th), but due to problems with content material, we have pushed its release date back to hopefully March or April, at the very latest May.

* Book of Shadows II: Dark Aeons Grimoires Volume #2
This book we already have in the writing phase and we expect to have it done most likely by August or Sept.

* Dark Aeons Episodes
We plan to be releasing an Episode a month starting around the end of January. Many of the first Episodes to be release will be those that Actors (players) got to play in at Origins 2009. By end of 2010, we plan to at least have 12 Episodes released for Directors to run through Casts through. If we have at least 6 Episodes ready by the end of June, we will be releasing a printed compilation of the already released Episodes through our printers at Lulu.com or Createspace.com (we're still deciding which ones service that we like best...so bear with us).

STARDUST PUBLICATIONS

* Xombiepocalypse (Not the final release title)
We do have a new Survival Horror game in the works that will be using the Center Stage Game System from the Dark Aeons: The Atlantean Chronicles Role-Playing Game. There will be differences in the way Persona Templates are handled, but by and large it will be the same system as Dark Aeons. It will also be compatible with the Dark Aeons Persona Template for those that are dead set in allowing Dark Aeons material to be playable in Xombiepocalypse.

We are hoping to be able to release this game just before Origins 2010, if it all works out we will have a copy of it present as the Grand Prize at Origins 2010, if not we will see about making a Beta Test copy available as a prize at the convention.

* The Eternal Legends Role-Playing Game (D20 Edition)
We are currently playtesting a new Fantasy RPG that will use a revision of the D20 3.5 system. Our goal is to put Epic Adventure back into fantasy role-playing games. All of the setting material that will be appearing in the D20 Edition of Eternal Legends will eventually be appearing in a Center Stage Game System version of Eternal Legends that fully uses our in-house game system.

Some of the rules changes that we are implementing for the Xombiepocalypse RPG will be appearing in this version of the Eternal Legends RPG.

* Stardust Publications Podcasts
We have recently uploaded almost of all the current Stardust Publications Podcasts at DriveThruRPG.com and RPGNow.com that have be released so far, with a brand new one that was released today; Episode #6: Lilans, Revenants, & Thralls...Oh My!

We expect to have another Podcast ready by the end of this coming week, hoping releasing Christmas Eve (Dec. 24th).

* Dark Aeons Extras

We have uploaded to DriveThruRPG.com and RPGNow.com all of the Armor, Weapons, Equipment, and Omega-V Computer Cards as FREE downloads for Directors to use in their Dark Aeons games. So stop in by and pick up yours while you have some spare time.

We at Stardust Publications would like to wish everyone a Happy Holidays and a much happier New Year!
