Welcome to the ICE Roleplaying WebRing
HARP SciFi and HARP SF Xtreme find new home
(Charlottesville, Virginia USA and Cambridge, England: 11th December 2009)
Mjolnir LLC dba Iron Crown Enterprises and Guild Companion Publications Limited are pleased to announce that they have agreed in principle that HARP SciFi and HARP SF Xtreme will be transferred from Mjolnir LLC to Guild Companion Publications Limited, who will bring both products to final pdf and print publication.
Bruce Neidlinger, CEO of Mjolnir, said: “Due to other ongoing projects Mjolnir has been unable to give HARP SciFi and HARP SF Xtreme the care and attention both products deserve to bring them to final publication. This has been as much a source of consternation to us as it has been to the fans who have been patiently waiting for both products. When Nicholas came to us with a proposal to transfer HARP SciFi and HARP SF Xtreme over to GCP Ltd, it was an offer that we could not refuse. Nicholas is the author of both products and will take extremely good care of them. With the transfer, Mjolnir will be better able to focus on its other upcoming projects and ensure that all fans of ICE games have new products to entertain them”.
Nicholas HM Caldwell, Director of Guild Companion Publications Limited, said: “Role-playing games are meant to be played, and the delays to final publication with HARP SciFi and HARP SF Xtreme meant that the fans were unable to play with the full set of rules. I have an elite team already working on the art, the layout and final polishing of both books. We will still be publishing the rules as two separate (but linked) volumes and the intention is to publish both volumes (HARP SciFi and HARP SF Xtreme) simultaneously. Both products will be available in 2010 in both pdf and print format. Look for more news on the Guild Companion and ICE forums.”
Guild Companion Publications Limited will be honouring the free upgrades to final pdf versions to which purchasers of the public beta and gamma pdfs are entitled. The gamma version of HARP SciFi will be withdrawn from sale with immediate effect.

Rescue in Mirkwood
Updated the information for the Middle-Earth Quest “Rescue In Mirkwood” book, converting it to a database driven page and updated the cover image
Shadow World Pages and RMSS pages updated
I’ve now finished converting the Shadow World product pages and the Rolemaster Standard System product pages over to the database, fixing a few incorrect links along the way.
Rolemaster Classic Pages Added
I’ve now added the information for the Rolemaster Classic products to the database for the individual product pages. Made a few minor corrections and additions to some of the other Rolemaster pages as well.
Changing Product Pages
I’ve started what will probably be a long process of switching the individual detailed product pages from being static pages to being dynamic database driven pages. Which means copying all the information from the individual static pages into the database.
So far have the First and Second Edition Rolemaster pages done.
Testing a new Theme
I’m currently testing out a new theme on the site, called “F2″. If anyone notices any pages that don’t display correctly, please post a quick comment on this posting.
Still deciding whether I’ll keep this theme, and if I do, whether I’ll stick with two sidebars or set it to just one.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
More updated Thumbnails
The Thumbnail images for all the version of MERP, Rolemaster, Harp and Shadow world have now been updated. Also added Cover Price and Page count columns to the Product List pages.
Product Lists now sortable by Column Heading
Finally added an enhancement that I have been wanting to do for quite awhile now. You can now click on some of the column headings in the product lists to resort them by that column.
The default sort order has always been by release date, but I’ve often thought that ordering the list by Stock Number could be useful as well, so that is now available.
Haven’t yet decided if I want to try implementing having a second click on the same column header flip the list to descending order. The only column where I could see that being useful would be the Release Date one so you could see all the newest releases at the top.
Still working on getting all the Thumbnails to the larger size. Got most of the MERP First Edition ones done now.
Updates to Product Lists
Started some long overdue updates to the Product list. Added most of the new products from the last two years, but haven’t added in cover images or individual pages yet. Also updated the “owned” flags for some of the items that I recently received.
Also need to double check my emails and the comments for any mistakes that people have pointed out that I haven’t corrected yet.
The Guild Adventurer Issue Three has been published
The third issue of The Guild Adventurer is now available for purchase from guild.ironcrown.com (the TGC store on the ICE server), www.rpgnow.com (and www.drivethruprg.com etc.), and www.yourgamesnow.com
