The supplement covers high-powered gaming and the gods. TPO provides guidelines for gamemasters to develop individual gods of various power levels, to include entire pantheons, as well as the vast support network, both divine and mortal, required to maintain and increase godly status. These guidelines stem from the foundational concept of primal energy, its sources and impact, as well as its resource management. TPO received very good reviews from various sources, including Pyramid Magazine[3] and RPGNet.[4] As part of the sale of Wizards of the Coast to Hasbro in 2001, Adkison retained the rights to The Primal Order, his own original work.[5] Published SupplementsWizards quickly followed up the release of TPO with several supplements to help build on the system's foundation. These supplements included:
ControversyOne of the driving forces behind the Capsystem concept was to provide gamemasters of various systems with conversion notes to port TPO into their respective games. As such, Wizards solicited conversions for various systems, and included the following conversions with TPO:
Kevin Siembieda, the owner of Palladium Books and Palladium FRPG copyright holder, sued Wizards for copyright infringement.[2] The parties settled the suit out of court, and Wizards released a revised edition of TPO that excluded Palladium. The revised edition also excluded AD&D, D&D and WarpWorld. However, Adkison took advantage of the revision to include these games:
The expanded coverage increased TPO's page count from 232 to 250 pages. It also included new cover art. Planned SupplementsWizards initially planned several supplements, of which two are known:
In addition, the following Capsystem works are mentioned in the Legal Stuff section of both the original and revised editions:
Yet, with the dramatic success of The Gathering, coupled with previous legal issues regarding their Capsystem approach, Wizards focused almost entirely on collectible card games and did not release any further Capsystem books.[2] Other ConversionsAlthough TPO received no further official support beyond the 1995 revised edition, several folks have put forth other game system conversions for the system, to include:
