Turns out madman mike was working on something that I (accidentally) wandered onto and they
Had to make a few changes to the history. Which fine by me. I want everything liked together and made compatible as much as possible. hope you all enjoy the new Timiro map as much as
My friend Miles and I did making it (a big pain in the neck) but worth it.

I am curious about how you wrote up King Gedro the Third and which of the listed royal family members you used.

Definite Royal Family
1. King Gedro the Third (1st pg 11*, 2nd pg 75)

2. Prince Bartholmew Gedro (2nd pg 75 in the Castle description)

3. Duke of Archo (2nd pg 31 #A) Says he is the Kings cousin so he must
have either an aunt or uncle.

4. Ancorat Maramana (2nd pg 59 last paragraph before city description) Says
he is kings nephew so the king most have at least a sister or brother.

5. Duke Cardinal Jonquil (2nd pg 63 top left side) Seems his family still control
the city.

6. Duke Matthew Jonquil son of the late Duke Philip Jonquil (2nd pg 65 in the
castle description).

Not a whole lot but does tell a few things. The King has at least an aunt or uncle.
There is at least one sibling. Also since Prince Bartholmew Gedro is third in line
to the throne he must have at least two older brothers.

* This mention was not in 2nd edition.

Royal or Noble Family?
1. Duke Fredric (2nd pg 31 #80)

2. Duke Maximillion Spatenrok his wife Dutchess Rita Spatenrok (2nd pg 54
#12)

3. Earls Madlock and Winchester Docro and their families (2nd pg 54 #12)

4. Lady Quinla (2nd pg 56 #20)


I can tell you The King, his oldest son, Duke Maximillion Spatenrok, Cardinal Medean, and the
king's sister are stated out NPCs. Details about the Royal Family Bloodline and the history of
Timiro mention several of the list above. Not sure how much of the history they're keeping. I
Did write A LOT (too much in fact :o).

That is kind of a loaded question. It is "scheduled" to come out this month.

I'm guessing it will be fourth week of July or in August before Gen Con.

:D :D Just downloaded the PDF version of the book from DriveThruRPG.com and I have to say
Kevin took my original material and made it even better! I have to compare it to what an inker
does to a penciler 's drawing in comics. He made it eye catching and full of so much stuff, which I
must say he had every right to because my inspiration came from the original Royal Time line that
appeared in the first edition of Old Ones (the one that showed all the different kings, princes,
queens, etc). We just updated it and made it compatible with Western Empire and Eastern
Territory ( :quiet: now all we have to do is fix the timeline in Yin Sloth Jungle).

I must also give a big shout out to Timothy A. Dorman. My friend you are a great monster creator.
I think you draw your inspiration from the same well I get mine from. If you G.M. Palladium Fantasy
my friend, your players I'm guessing have plenty to fear from.

Can't wait to get this book in my hands.
