[Hellfrost] Eine Karte von Rassilon, die am Ende nicht ausgewählt wurde

Beim Durchstöbern von Lord Draconovs Bibliothek stieß ich vor einiger Zeit auf eine unbekannte Karte von Rassilon, die Euch eventuell interessieren könnte.



Ich entdeckte diese Karte einst auf der nun inaktiven Seite von Justin Raven bei deviantART.

Gute Arbeit, Justin!

[Savage Mojo] Set Rising Primer
Author: Darren Pearce
Pages: 16
Price: Freebie (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)


The scheming god Set has built a dark mirror of the Egyptian empire. His minions raid the mortal realms, enslaving humans to construct impossible pyramids for an evil purpose. Worse, they’re invading alternate realities too. Someone has to hunt them down, and the techno-Egyptian god Ra is looking for a group of demigods who are up for the task.

Across the universe, the future is about to be Set.

In this book we cover the background to playing astonishing adventures in this setting, and look at the types of character who’ll thrive with its challenges.

And now something slightly different...


[Engine Publishing] Odyssey: The Complete Game Master’s Guide to Campaign Management

Written by award-winning authors Phil Vecchione and Walt Ciechanowski, the fourth book from Gnome Stew and Engine Publishing is coming in July: Odyssey: The Complete Game Master’s Guide to Campaign Management.

Opening with a foreword by RPG industry legend Kenneth Hite, Odyssey is, to our knowledge, the first book of its kind. It offers up 200 pages of system-neutral advice on starting, managing, and ending campaigns for game masters of all stripes and experience levels.

Tell me more!

You may have guessed from the title that Odyssey has a lot in common with Never Unprepared apart from being a system-neutral GMing book. You don’t need one to enjoy the other, but Odyssey naturally complements Never Unprepared. If you like Never Unprepared, I suspect you’ll also enjoy Odyssey.

Our previous three books have sold over 8,000 copies, and Phil Vecchione’s Never Unprepared: The Complete Game Master’s Guide to Session Prep is currently nominated for a 2013 Origins Award for Best Game-Related Publication. Masks: 1,000 Memorable NPCs for any Roleplaying Game, released in 2011, won the 2012 gold ENnie Award for Best Aid/Accessory. Never Unprepared and our first book, 2010′s Eureka: 501 Adventure Plots to Inspire Game Masters, are among the top 65 out of more than 28,000 products on DriveThruRPG; Masks is in the top 250. Odyssey is a continuation of our commitment to provide GMs all over the world with quality system-neutral advice.

We anticipate opening preorders for Odyssey in early June and shipping out preorders in July. (There are a couple details to nail down before we pick a launch date.) The book is currently getting a final proofread, and I still need to write the back cover copy, but apart from that it’s done. As with past preorders, if you preorder Odyssey you’ll immediately receive the book in PDF, EPUB, and MOBI form.

I’ll be posting more previews throughout May, so stay tuned!

Show me more!

Illustrated by Avery Liell-Kok, designed by Darren Hardy, and art directed by John Arcadian, Odyssey’s front cover is shown above...

[Savage Mojo] Suzerain - Clockwork Dreams Primer
Authors: Jeff Houser, Michelle Klein Houser
Pages: 16
Price: Freebie (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)


The Duke Of Crossed Gears, obsessed with the dreams of scientists and visionaries, is dead - but he left something behind. On his deathbed, the duke dreamed of a place, and such was the power of his spirit that these visions became manifest upon his dying breath.

Enter Mechadia, a Savage realm of Suzerain where idyllic sylvan glades merge with mechanical wonders. Eleven airship pirates hide away on floating islands; begoggled goblins run amok in steam-powered brass-and steel; brownie alchemists seek formulae for new ways to harness the pulse beyond the clouds. But the trolls have become restless as they toil to keep the great gears of the land turning smoothly. Fey lords and ladies vie for rulership over the fledgling realm, and lines are being drawn in the copper dust...

THE FEY ARE GEARING UP FOR MISCHIEF. DO YOU HAVE THE BRASS TO JOIN THE GAME?

Insides the covers of this book you'll find background on the fascinating realm of Mechadia, where steampunk meets faery magic.

[Agents of Oblivion] Pregenerated Agents Bundle

I went through my files and redid the pregenerated agents that I created using the "NEW" AoO Character Sheet, along with their Agent Dossier file and Hindrance/Edge Cards. All six agents are included in this bundle pack for any of you Directors that may be running Agents of Oblivion at a convention or starting play and wanted to use pregenerated characters. They are very diverse in their talents and should make for a very well rounded team. You can download them for free by clicking the picture below.

Thanks,

[Gold Piece Publications] Savage Worlds A5 Character Sheet
Artist: P. Regan
Pages: 2
Price: Freebie (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)


The Savage Worlds character sheet contained in this PDF is currently (ends Sunday 9th June 2013) being crowdfunded on Kickstarter. The aim of the project is to have high-quality, lithographic printed pads of the sheets produced. The project has already met its funding goal, which has triggered the release of the PDF. The sheet is A5-sized, and is presented here as a single A5 sheet and also 2up on an A4 sheet.

To find out more about the Kickstarter simply google "Savage Worlds Character Sheet Kickstarter" and you should find it with ease. There is also a link to the campaign on the top of my blog: http: //oubliettemagazine.blogspot.co.uk/

If you have downloaded this PDF after the Kickstarter campaign has ended, then pads of sheets may still be purchased by visiting: www.squarehex.co.uk

Naja, so wirklich die Überraschung ist es nicht, dass die Neuauflage des Spielerhandbuchs im Druck ist aber mittlerweile hat die Druckerei auch den Auslieferungstermin bestätigt. Wir konnten daher den Veröffentlichungstermin um ein paar Tage auf den 30.05. vorziehen, so dass alle Vorbesteller ihr Buch noch vor der RPC in Händen halten werden. Wir werden das Buch aber selbstverständlich auch in Köln dabei haben.

Da die limitierte Fassung noch ein paar weitere Produktionsschritte durchläuft, kann ich hier noch keinen exakten Termin nennen, es handelt sich aber nur um wenige Tage.

Das Spielerhandbuch kann mittlerweile im gut sortierten Fachhandel oder natürlich bei uns im Onlineshop vorbestellt werden. Hier springt ihr direkt zum Produkt.

Wer mit Hellfrost noch nicht viel anfangen kann, kann sich auf hellfrost.de ein wenig informieren.







Bleibt savage!

Author: Eric Simon
Artist: Sarah Benkin
Pages: 89
Price: €12.07 PDF, €16.10 Print, €20.12 PDF & Print (Studio 2 Publishing)

North America in 1871 is a land of adventure, opportunity, and conflict. Inventors from the American Consolidated Union supply automatons and steam-powered machinery to the oil fields of Texas and the mines of the Rocky Mountain Republic. Wells Fargo airships and steam carts compete with the Southern Pacific's monopoly on transcontinental rail travel. Native saboteurs raid across the borders from their home in the Plains Tribal Federation to destroy the technology that threatens their land.

Steamscapes: North America is the first setting book for Steamscapes. It includes extensive alternative historical backgrounds for the four most prominent nations of North America and offers six new professions with associated skills and edge trees, as well as the automaton racial template. It provides several introductory scenarios and a variety of character templates so GMs and players can jump right in and start playing.

The print edition (full size, b&w) will be available at the end of August 2013, with advance copies hopefully available at Gen Con. The digital edition (color PDF) is available now!

Laut Obskures.de soll 2014 mit die "Kaltland-Chroniken" ein neues deutschsprachiges Fantasy-Setting erscheinen, das von Oliver Siegert verfaßt wird. Nach dessen Aussagen wird der Hintergrund eher düster gehalten sein und soll zwar einige klassische Versatzstücke enthalten, ohne jedoch EDO-Fantasy zu sein. Als Regelkern ist "Savage Worlds" im Gespräch. Die bisher gezeigten Illustrationen machen jedenfalls Lust auf mehr:

[Mystical Throne Entertainment] Savage Insider Deluxe Issue #1: Modularity
Authors: Vickey A. Beaver, Gilbert Gallo, Michael Hansen, Aaron T. Huss, Chris Lites, Curtis Lyon, A.J. Preece, Jeremy Stromberg, The Warden
Pages: 115
Price: €9.31 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)

Savage Insider Premium contained a wealth of Savage Worlds content spanning the genres with much of it useful across multiple settings. During the course of publishing the five issues, a lot of content was extracted and released as standalone products for specific settings, such as Mercenary Breed and Faith & Demons: The Rising. This resulted in a lot of duplicated content.

To remedy this, Mystical Throne Entertainment has decided to compile all non-extracted content from Savage Insider Premium Issues #1 - 5 into a single offering. Thus, we bring to you the first Savage Insider Deluxe issue, filled with the remaining compiled content from Savage Insider Premium Issues #1 - 5 in a single release. The content herein is primarily setting agnostic and can be utilized across multiple settings or within your own homebrew.

Savage Insider Deluxe Issue #1: Modularity contains a wealth of content covering fantasy, sci-fi, and horror. The modular design of Savage Worlds means you can add new mechanics, ignore existing ones, or modify ones to your liking without breaking the system. We embrace this concept in all of our Savage Insider releases and especially exploit that herein.

Savage Insider Deluxe Issue #1: Modularity includes:

Auspicious Archetypes:

• Cataphract - A shock trooper archetype great for breaking shield walls
• Engineer - When you need a smith or mechanic, look toward your engineer.
• Hierophant - As cultic priests, hierophants are knowledged in the ways of the occult.

Expanded Mechanics:

• Voidlancer - A new look at ship-to-ship space combat with an emphasis on cinematic.

Great Adventures:

• Community Service - A dark fantasy delve into an abandoned underground temple for Ancient World.
• Flight of the Fancy - A black powder fantasy adventure with a peek at Dragons of Avalon.
• Seven Kings of Shambhala - A pulp action adventure into the depths of the Hollow Earth.
• The Secret of Isla de Monos - A pirate adventure out to an island of secrets.

Racial Profiling:

• Dhampir - Rule the night with this half-vampire race.
• The Lokka - Deceive the masses using this shapeshifting race.

Surveyed:

• Lord Bane - Enter the domain of Lord Bane and all its chaos.
• Underhome - Careful of this village and its secrets.

[Evil Beagle Games] Shaintar: Legends Arise (Players Guide)
Author: Sean Patrick Fannon
Artist: Aaron Acevedo, James Denton, Jason Engle, Alida Saxon, Tomasz Tworek
Price: €3,87 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)


This is the new, fully-revised Players Guide, complete with art and layout!

Sean Patrick Fannon’s vision of Epic High Fantasy comes to life for Savage Worlds in this all new iteration brought to you by Evil Beagle Games.

"The heart of any lasting and memorable roleplaying campaign is the setting. Is it vivid? Alluring? Full of mysteries, as well as straight-ahead challenges?

If the answer is “Yes” to all of these, you are in good hands.

SHAINTAR is deep in “good hands” territory.

Just paging through the Players Guide makes you want to play, and it’s genuinely hard to create a boring character using this book; everything works together to make your Hero interesting. And that’s even before you get to the four detailed Major Enemies lurking in Shaintar. Or the rules for alchemy, or the tantalizing glimpses we get of the Black Lantern and Grayson’s Grey Rangers . . .

A winner. Get this book." -- Ed Greenwood, creator of The Forgotten Realms®

Savage Worlds fans will find a lot to love about the Shaintar: Legends Arise Players Guide:

• Eleven distinctive Races with many specialized Racial Edges for each.
• Over 60 new Edges, including Professional, Combat, and Power Edges.
• Expanded options for magic, including Applications for Sorcery, Extended Casting, and more.
• New and expanded rules for Alchemists and Artificers, as well as personalized magic items.
• Setting rules like All Out Move, the Deep Magic, and Lead from the Front.
• Information about the many nations and factions that drive the stories of Shaintar.
• A complete Timeline featuring thousands of years of Shaintar's history.
• A Denizens section with many dozens of characters and monsters, as well as five new Monstrous Templates and templates for changing almost any Denizen to any of the eleven Races.
• An expanded Weapons, Armor, and Gear list for epic fantasy gaming, as well as a Resource system to replace "counting coins" for wealth management.

Anyone seeking Epic High Fantasy adventure will enjoy this book, as will anyone wishing to add lots of great new material to their Savage games!

This book covers Novice through Veteran Rank gaming. The upcoming Shaintar: Legends Unleashed will cover Heroic and Legendary play.

Note- This is the Player's Guide for Shaintar: Legends Arise; that book is the complete setting book for Novice-to-Veteran gaming for both Players and Game Masters.
