A: Ember Twilight is a fantasy role-playing game that stresses freedom for players to determine every aspect of their characters and freedom for narrators to determine every aspect of the setting in which they play. Q: What do I need to play Ember Twilight? A: You will need some polyhedral dice (you can pick these up at any gaming store or in many book stores), a pencil, some friends and the Ember Twilight Core Rules of Fantasy Role-playing. Q: Are the Core Rules the only book I will need to play? A: Yes, the Core Rules contains all that you will ever need to play Ember Twilight. A: EmberWorld is a pre-made campaign setting, complete with nations, history, culture, and mystery. It will provide you with virtually limitless campaign options for your gaming group. Q: Do I need EmberWorld to play Ember Twilight? A: No. We made sure that you would need to buy one book to play Ember Twilight. We do not wish to force any setting on any narrator. Instead, we believe in giving you the tools and the freedom to create your own. Q: Do I need the Core Rules to play EmberWorld? A: Not necessarily. The material about the setting of EmberWorld is kept wholly separate from any material that requires you to know the Ember Twilight system. Therefore, if there is another gaming system out there that you would prefer to use, EmberWorld will support it. Q: Are the Core Rules or EmberWorld D20 compatible? A: The Core Rules are not, and frankly don’t need to be. The Core Rules are system mechanics and tools meant to help players and narrators create and enjoy their own campaigns. EmberWorld, however, is compatible with any system (as mentioned above). So if you are a D20 fan, you will find that D20 seamlessly fits here. Q: Will you be supporting both the Core Rules and EmberWorld? A: Most definitely. We already have several works written to support both. If you prefer making your own setting, you will find a myriad of books that will come from Twilight Press to help you. If you fall in love with EmberWorld (as we have), there too you will find a good number of resources to add depth and enjoyment to your play sessions. Also, you will find new things added to our Free Stuff section from time to time. Keep checking there for new resources. Q: How does Ember Twilight’s system work? A: It is skill based using a percentile system. You will roll a hundred sided dice (or two 10 sided dice), if it is lower than your skill percent you succeed in your skill. If it is higher, you fail. That is a basic description, but it should give you a clear idea of how the system works. The narrator does not have to constantly be setting target values or thinking of skill modifiers as many are already built into the character’s skill values. A: Ember Twilight began in 1996. Since then, we at Twilight Press have worked and play tested it since then. For more information see the About page. Q: How do I order Ember Twilight? A: Go to the respective product page, either the Ember Twilight page or the EmberWorld page. Once there clicking on the "add to cart" button will select the product for your cart. the "view cart button will take you to your cart and from there you can checkout. Q: How do I pay for Twilight Press Products? A: Payments are made by credit card through PayPal which is quickly becoming the most popular form of making payments on the internet. If you do not have a PayPal account, you can visit their website at www.paypal.com or set one up when you checkout. Q: May I change the stats associated with various skills in the Core Rules and EmberWorld if I feel the ones you have do not suit my tastes or preferences? A: Of course! Feel free to change, modify, or add to the material we have provided. It is certainly within anyone's power and prerogative to improve on Ember Twilight to better suit their gaming style. However, as with all rules, they have a rational and we suggest you try them out carefully before changing then. Q: What is wrong with the text on Chapter 3 of the Ember Twilight Core Rules? A: There was an error at the printer. Both our files and the proofs came back correctly, but for whatever reason the final copies came to us with text from page 21 on page 22 and 24. We greatly apologize for the confusion and inconvenience, this is an unfortunate occurrence that we will resolve as we can. Please go to our Downloads page and download the original Chapter 3. Q: Can I use AP's in the Magic category to buy spells during apprenticeship? A: Yes, AP’s in the Magic category can be used by he character to buy spells or to increase skill degrees.
