Post by: Amseriah on March 13, 2011, 06:19:17 PM: I can see the image, it appears to be a core rule book for Arcanos by Evil Hat. Hope that helps :-)

Post by: Sanctaphrax on March 13, 2011, 07:45:28 PM: I couldn't see the image before, but I can now. Unfortunately, I still don't know what Hypathia is asking.

Incidentally, I couldn't find reference to Arcanos on Evil Hat's website. Not that I looked all that hard.

Yup, found it in 10 seconds.

For those who do not wish to follow the link, it's art work from the Dragon Age RPG rulebook.

Course, I might have also been playing that game all weekend, so it may be at the front of my thoughts when I looked at it...

Post by: Tallyrand on March 15, 2011, 10:56:40 PM: Dude, just as a message to Evil Hat. I personally would definitely buy an Arcanos RPG if it were made available.

Post by: Tedronai on March 16, 2011, 03:40:29 AM: The fictional RPG that Billy and the Alphas convince Harry to join in on at the end of Summer Knight.

Post by: Malckuss on March 17, 2011, 03:14:44 AM: I know this is bogus, but I would so buy into an actual Arcanos product by Evil Hat.

Post by: Ezra on March 20, 2011, 07:16:20 AM: At the time of this writing, Google has a cache of the cover in question as the first result for "arcanos RPG (http://www.google.com/images?q=arcanos%20rpg)".

Poorly done April fool's joke. It says that it's fully compatible with Dresden and also that it uses the BrickLayer system. It also says its available from Mongoose.

The Devil is in the details.

Post by: crusher_bob on April 01, 2011, 02:55:12 PM: Also, clicking on the 'buy it here' links leads you to the google search results of 'April fools'
Title: Re: Is this true?
Post by: Team8Mum on April 01, 2011, 03:10:13 PM: Technically given Fate is OGL you //could// write it any way.
After all its wouldn't be the first fictional RPG that leaked into the real world <cough>Hackmaster</cough>

You wouldn't even have to start form scratch.
What do we know about it from Canon?
Is there enough to pull it together as a setting for Legends of Anglerre?

I just tried it. DTRPG brings you to a google search, RPGNOW brings you to an image search, and Mongoose brings you to Wikipedia. That's a very nice touch.
