For Freedom!

It’s the year 2051, and World War III only ended two years ago. Even as the world began to rebuild from the conflagration, humanity was rocked by the revelation that a massive organization engaged in a terrible conspiracy to bring Earth to its knees and under their control. VENOM became the enemy of all freedom-loving people, using military might, criminal undertakings, weird science, occult mysteries, and economic warfare to attack humanity and install their mighty leader, VENOM Commander, firmly in control of the world.

But Freedom Squadron has something to say about that! Formed by the allies of the Trans-Atlantic Coalition, under the auspices of the United Nations, Freedom Squadron is an international force comprised of elite soldiers, sailors, pilots, special agents, first responders, and more, all dedicated to protecting the Earth from VENOM and other terrible forces and
strange, mysterious dangers.

The Freedom Squadron Commando’s Manual is everything you need to create a hero ready to take the battle to VENOM, using the Savage Worlds system:

• Vocation Frameworks like Athlete, Guerilla Fighter, Law Enforcement Officer, Medic, Ninja, Pilot, Sailor, Soldier, Spy, and many more!
• Hero’s Journey Specialization Tables such as Black Ops, Close Quarters Combat, Command, Intelligence, Naval Operations, Special Operations, Tech & Engineering, and more!
• New Edges, including Carnage Corps, Fighting Style, Operational Planning, Strange DNA, Zone Specialist, and more!
• Introducing Focuses, special enhancements to Skills that both simplifies and fleshes out the Skill system of Savage Worlds.
• Tons of Gear - weapons, armor, vehicles, and more!

Grab this manual and get started on earning your Code Name, Recruit! Welcome to Freedom Squadron!

[Evil Beagle Games] Freedom Squadron Plans & Operations Manual

Heads Up, Commandos!

General Steel issued the mandate – stop VENOM’s latest scheme at all costs! Mirage gathered the initial intel, Top Boss crunched the numbers, and Uplink sent out the call. Now Sundown is calling you onto the Hornet so he can get you to the rendezvous with the rest of your mission team.

Now it’s up to you and your fellow Commandos to work up the plan, insert into the op-zone, bypass security, talk your way past the front office people, hack the systems, and take out the Pythons you find guarding that last vault.

It all comes down to making a good plan and executing a solid operation! The Freedom Squadron Plans & Operations Manual is everything you need to generate adventures and scenarios, as well as learn all about the world of VENOM Assault and Freedom Squadron:

• The new and highly innovative Plans & Operations rules, developed by Sean Patrick Fannon to enable GMs and players to narratively work together to create immersive, multi-faceted “mission montages” that use all of a team’s skills and resources while encouraging maximum narrative creativity for each player.
• A Mission Generator that works for Freedom Squadron or any modern post-modern setting featuring military and special operative heroes.
• A richly detailed history of the world of Freedom Squadron and VENOM, with a Timeline that covers everything from pre-history all the way through the end of World War III and the founding of Freedom Squadron.
• A system of special Mission Rewards that includes a new Contacts system, enabling players to develop special connections and relationships with specialists who can help them in future missions.
  
• Files and stats for lots of VENOM bad guys as well as Mission Specialists that can be called in to fill gaps in a team’s capabilities.

“Savage Worlds was created to handle the kinds of games I often like to play and run, where you can be a badass fighter or wizard or whatever, but you can also be a leader. A planner. I’m proud of how the game accommodates that, and my friend Sean Patrick Fannon has added even more to it in Freedom Squadron.

I had a blast in the Plans & Operations phase riffing off the other players, figuring out how best to use our individual characters’ skills, and then watching it all come together in the adventures that followed. Sean isn’t afraid of big games and big ideas, and this may be his best yet. I can’t wait to back, buy, and run it myself!” - Shane Hensley, Creator of Savage Worlds

Grab this manual and get cracking on missions against VENOM and the other threats that endanger the whole world. Welcome to Freedom Squadron!

Secret Agents of CROSS Mission: The Blackest Friday Ever

In the United States, the Thanksgiving season brings two of America’s favorite things into direct conflict, eating one’s self into a stupor and shopping one’s self into a frenzy. This Thanksgiving, however, is going to be unlike any other when the two merge into something far more sinister.

What is CROSS?

CROSS is a clandestine spy agency also known as the Catholic Response Organization to Strategize and Strike.

This is the book that comes with the print version of the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition Game Master's Screen. It features FOUR incredible settings complete with background, new rules, and Savage Tales! Here's what's inside:

Spirits of 1786
Written and © By: Matthew Cutter
The War of Independence is won...but the herculean effort to build a more perfect union has only started. This isn't history—this is Pulp History in the post-Revolutionary Era! Nefarious Illuminati agents hatch plots in smoky Boston taprooms. Fallen gods of the Northmen stalk Ohio's howling wilderness. Risen ghosts abound. Against them, the Sons of Liberty wield diplomacy as well as muskets, but they also dabble in Scientifick Philosophy and even magick! A handful have the blood of the old gods in their veins. So load your flintlock and gather your flats, sharps, and sundry supplies: the battle for liberty has just begun!

Abyssal
Written and © By: Shane Lacy Hensley
A family of explorers joins a United Nations expedition to explore a mysterious "Event" at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. What they find there will change the world forever. This Saturday morning cartoon-inspired setting features strange and enhanced sea creatures, insidious rival corporations, and the growing urgency of the Event itself and the inexplicable force behind it!

Tesla Rangers
Written and © By: Cheyenne Wright
It's been 11 years since America lost the Robot War and ceded everything west of the Mississippi to the automatons. Now a fresh young scientist with a government contract and a load of new experimental devices is outfitting a voluntary expeditionary force to cross the ol' Miss and head deep into No Man's Land.
Tesla Rangers is a high-octane action adventure pitting cowboys with lightning guns against cast-iron killer robots in a battle for the Wired West.

The Lost City of Astla
Written and © By: BJ Hensley
As Astla's resources dwindled, the ancient "elves" fled to a massive city-ship in the stars, hoping to wait out the barbaric and destructive People who overran it. But now the Astlatians have begun to suffer from a terrible wasting disease, and the only cure may be a return to their homelands. Some urge war, some peace. As they debate, small bands return to the surface to scout, raid, and learn from those who remain in the barren wastes.

[Prometheus Games] Deadlands: Coffin Rock
Author: Sean Michael Fish
Pages: 44
Prices: €9,95 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)

Coffin Rock ist ein Abenteuer für Deadlands Reloaded.

Das Bergbaustädtchen Coffin Rock, Colorado, ist ein brodelnder Kessel voller Ärger.

Die örtlichen Bordsteinschwalben nehmen ihre Kundschaft aus, Geister ziehen durch die Straßen und ein verrückter Serienmörder macht die Gegend unsicher. Und das ist noch nicht alles, Amigo! Bei Weitem nicht.

Eine Gruppe Gesetzloser hat einen Plan ausgeheckt, wie sie eine offene Rechnung mit den Anwohnern begleichen können, ein neuer Prediger stiftet Unruhe und ein mysteriöser Schamane prophezeit von den nahegelegenen Hügeln finstere Zeiten.

Das Einzige, was die Stadt von einem größeren Chaos als ein Tornado in Kansas trennt, ist eine Bande von Fremden, die sich noch den Staub der Prärie aus der Kleidung klopft. Poliert eure Revolver auf Hochglanz, schlagt euren Hoyle’s auf, heizt den Flammenwerfer vor und macht euch bereit auf einen wilden Ritt durch den Unheimlichen Westen!

Zum Spielen werden zusätzlich das Deadlands: Spielerhandbuch und Marshal-Handbuch sowie die Savage Worlds: Gentleman’s Edition Revised benötigt.
