Store Improvements
- Checks/Money Orders - We recently realized that there was no way for folks who don’t want to use a credit card online to purchase items directly from ICE. Therefore, we have added the option of paying via check or money order to the store. There are some limitations though. Checks and money orders must be paid in US Dollars, and must be drawn on US Banks.
- Paypal Express - Since we instituted the Rewards Points add-on, ICE has had to manually award the Reward Points for any purchased made via Paypal due to the way that the IPN (as it is called) method works, which is different from the other methods. Unfortunately, the awarding of those points often had to wait until I had the time to do it, which meant infrequently at best.
We have recently added Paypal Express as an additional payment method next to the Paypal IPN method. The Paypal Express payment method does require that you actually have a Paypal account to use it. However, the Rewards Points module works with it without problems. Thus, your Reward Points will be awarded as quickly as those who purchase via credit card.
- New Shipping Options - We have recently updated our USPS Shipping Options to include First Class International shipping which is less expensive than USPS Priority Mail International shipping. This gives our overseas customers another option to select from, and a way to save a bit more money. This method of shipping does have a 4 lb weight limit, and the packaging to ship items does add about 10% of the actual weight of the item to the overall weight of the package.

Product Releases
We have several new products released since the last newsletter to tell everybody about.
0one Games – Bandits’ Trail
|
Everyone in town knows where the bandits’ hideout is. However no one dares to walk on the bandits’ trail. People of the town say the trail is cursed since a demon with burning eyes lurks in its surroundings. It is said the demon appears from nowhere in the middle of the people walking on the trail, sowing death and destruction. The few people who have seen him and survived, describe the demon as a naked giant with burning eyes and yellow fangs, and swear it is a demon out of hell.
This product details an underground bandits hideout, a clandestine brewery and a small wilderness area. It contains a Referee Map and 25 customizable tiles using Øone’s exclusive Rule the Dungeon© feature. The B&W maps are simple, line art battlemaps you can customize to suit your needs and then print.
In each B&W product you’ll find:
- A Referee map detailing a fantasy location
- The whole location broken in US Letter sheets in miniature scale (each sheet contains a 8×10 inches tile)
- A short description of each area of the location with suggested plots
- Each map tile is specifically designed to reveal only those portions of the map that the players can see. Thus you only need to lay them out as the players reach them.

0one Games – The Ruined Town: Temple, Farms and Dungeon
|
In this Blueprint you’ll find maps for four locations in the Ruined Town.
Set your band of adventurers for exploring the famed Dungeon of the Gray Stones, or take them to the occupied Temple of the Black Moon. Your party may want to seek the wisdom of a retired adventurer living in a small farm or maybe they want to solve the mystery of the strange lights seen during the night in the crumbled farm…
- Small Farm – This farm is the home of a retired old adventurer. Nobody knows his actual name; he introduces himself simply as “Jim”. Many believe “Jim” is actually a very famous hero of the past who, for unknown reasons, retired in such haunted and solitary place…
- Crumbled Farm – Something sinister happened in the crumbled farm. Strange and odd lights are seen during the night and people swear to have seen ghostly figures lurking in the ruins of the farm…
- Temple of the Black Moon - This temple was plundered and destroyed during the war, but recently a young priest of the Black Moon occupied it along with a bunch of followers. He intended to reconstruct the forgotten cult but something strange happened…
- Circle of the Gray Stones - This circle of stones already existed before the town was founded. It was a sacred place for all the inhabitants of the Town who made their living from the earth and from the animals…
- Dungeon of the Gray Stones – This very ancient dungeon was once an underground temple devoted to a long-forgotten deity of procreation. Wise druids sealed the temple when they discovered a disturbing thing: the underground temple was built by using the stones of much older evil temple…
This Blueprint contains maps used in the upcoming Iron Crown Enterprises’ adventure module “A Wedding at Axebridge”
