Omnibus: Squaring the Circle
he award winning¸ critically-acclaimed game is back! IRONCLAW is an exciting new edition of the classic role-playing game of anthropomorphic fantasy.
Experience Ironclaw's rich and detailed world of Calabria¸ where dozens of species live together in sprawling cities and war-torn countryside. Kings broker for power with clergy¸ wizards¸ and merchants¸ each one struggling to conquer all they survey. Meanwhile¸ beneath the notice of the squabbling powers¸ lurk greedy robbers¸ cruel slavers¸ and dark necromancers who prey on the weak¸ the helpless¸ and the forgotten. It is a time for mighty warriors¸ for quick rogues¸ for clever wizards - a time for heroes!
Ironclaw's unique system of dynamic combat allows players to work together to defeat enemies. Enjoy action sequences as fast-paced and exciting as any book or movie¸ where how the battle is fought is just as important as why it was fought in the first place. From the star chambers of political conspirators¸ who plot to steal the kingdom... to dark and haunted places¸ where supernatural peril threatens the mortal world... or even to the humble streets¸ where an urchin picks the wrong pocket - adventure is everywhere¸ limited only by the player's imaginations.

It features dozens of full-color illustrations from professional artists such as Chris Goodwin (Black Iron)¸ Andrew Kaiko (Kappa Mikey¸ Speed Racer)¸ and Stephen Silver (Clerks¸ Kim Possible¸ Danny Phantom).
