Who This Author Is

Bruce Cordell has enough depth here to be more than a raw catalog rollup. This page pulls together 5 catalog-linked books across 1998 to 2003, which makes it easier to separate the strongest starting points from the noisier editions. The clearest lane here leans toward Fantasy & Sci-Fi.

Best for readers who want imaginative settings, series momentum, and clearer jumping-in spots. If you want the easiest first click, start with The Killing Jar (Alternity Sci-Fi Roleplaying, Dark Matter Setting Adventure) and branch outward from there. UPB note: the strongest documented run here lands between 1998 to 2003; the most common copies on this page tend to come from Wizards of the Coast and White Wolf Publishing.
