Thema: Savage Worlds - News (no smalltalk!)

[Taysal]

Nach Vorankündigungen via G+ und FB ist es nun soweit und Das Schwarze All veröffentlichte am 1. April 2013 Verschollen auf Alak Alpha.

Verschollen auf Alak Alpha ist ein DaSA-Abenteuer. Es ist primär mit den Regeln für Savage Worlds spielbar, Add-ons für andere Systeme folgen.

Das Schwarze All (DaSA) ist ein in liebevoller Fanarbeit erstelltes Science-Fiction-Setting, das bekannte Elemente aufgreift und neu arrangiert. Es stellt den Spaß am Spiel in den Vordergrund, möchte humorvolle Unterhaltung und viele kleine Eastereggs bieten.

DaSA bedeutet einen Immersionisten oder einen Blasteraxt schwingenden Diggar zu spielen, mit ÜLGA durch den Weltraum zu düsen und spannende Abenteuer zu erleben.



Der Sol-Kult hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, den Sklavenhandel überall im Universum zu bekämpfen. Dank seiner starken Präsenz auf den Mittelwelten ist der Sklavenhandel dort faktisch abgeschafft. Jetzt hat sich das Augenmerk des Ersten Solisten auf die Welten am Rande des Goldenen Nebels gerichtet, die ihren Reichtum alleine den Sklaven verdanken. Ungekrönter König aller Sklavenplaneten ist Alak Alpha, dessen Macht bis auf die Mittelwelten reicht. Auch für die Imperatorin ein unhaltbarer Zustand.

Da die Solisten offiziell zum Stillhalten verdammt sind, sollen die Stars in einer geheimen Operation einen der größten Sklavenhändlerringe infiltrieren, wichtige Informationen beschaffen und die Organisation dann von Innen heraus zerschlagen. Die Solisten gehen davon aus, dass niemand die Spur bis zum Imperium und ihrem Kult zurückverfolgen kann und den Sklavenhändlern eine empfindliche Niederlage bereitet wird, die vielleicht zu einer Rebellion und anschließend einem freien Handel nach Vorbild der Mittelwelten führt.

[Hellfrost] Organization Guide
Model: TAG31400
Author: Paul "Wiggy" Wade-Williams
Page Count: 54
Price: €6.92 (TAG), €7.01 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)

Hellfrost is a deep and vibrant setting. Its many religious cults and temporal organizations allow characters to be part of something greater than themselves yet still retain their individuality, offering them a both a purpose beyond just slaying monsters and acquiring treasure, and giving them a network of allies and friends they can call upon in times of need. These are not faceless organizations that exist in name only, but active facets of the world engaged in politics, commerce, research, and war, often at a continent-wide level.

Inside you'll find information on the history and structure on 19 organizations designed for player characters to join. Designed for players as much as the GM, there tips on how to play a member, combat advice, and suggestions on how to spend advancements, new Professional Edges, and notes on how the general populace reacts to members of the organizations.

This supplement details the following organizations: Arcane Hand, Bludgeoners, Convocation of Elementalists, Deathdealers, Dragon Guard, Gray Legion, Hearth Knights, Hrosmark Huscarls, Huscarls of Hammerhand, The Iron Guild, Knights Hrafn, Lorekeepers, Order of Jotundauðr, Reliquary, Roadwardens, Sisterhood of Mercy, Thirteen Warriors, Watchers of the Black Gate, and Wood Wardens.

Although this product is written for the Hellfrost setting, all the Professional Edges relating directly to the organizations have been included, thus enabling the GM to add these groups to his own Savage Worlds fantasy campaign.

[Super Genius Games] Strike Force 7 Airdrop: 5 Pieces of Retaliatory Gear
Author: R. Hyrum Savage
Pages: 3
Price: €1,14 €0,76 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)

Strike Force 7 is America’s highly trained anti-terrorist force. Its purpose: To defend the world from the forces of Skorpion: a highly trained, well-equipped, and mysterious terrorist organization bent on world conquest! Take on the role of the rugged marine, former special ops member, top of his field computer expert, or even the mysterious ninja who now works for Uncle Sam. Skorpion isn't going to stop any time soon and neither will Strike Force 7.

Strike Force 7 Airdrop is a line of very short, cheap PDFs giving the bare bones of a set of related options. It does for rules what One Sheets do for adventures. It might be new Edges, Hindrances, Equipment, or any other short set of related rules we can cram into about a page. Short and simple, these PDFs are for COs and players who know how to integrate new ideas into their campaigns without any hand-holding, and just need fresh ideas and the rules to support them. No in-character fiction setting the game world. No charts and tables. No sidebars of explanations and optional rules. Just one sentence of explanation for the High Concept of the PDF, then the airdrop.

High Concept: Five new pieces of equipment to help members of Strike Force 7 retaliate against agents of Skorpion. Or vice-versa.

The 5 new pieces of equipment are:

• Khepri Bombs: These small metallic insects resemble the scarab beetles sacred to the ancient Egyptians and are a new tool now being used by Skorpion infiltration agents.
• Masks of Nephthys: The result of decades of secretive research by Skorpion R&D, the Mask of Nephthys is a nanite gel that allows the user to assume the appearance of another person.
• Metal Vapor Torch Gloves: These gloves generate a small blade of flame in the palm of each hand that can slice through a half-inch steel bar in less than a second.
• Phoenix Attack Cycle: This Skorpion motorcycle is not only equipped with four H&K MP7 submachine guns, but upon command the cycle can also split into six rocket propelled missiles!
• XM40 "Zeus" Enhanced Sniper Rifle: Developed exclusively for Strike Force 7, the XM40 sniper rifle is the most powerful, versatile, and effective sniper rifle ever developed. It's unique targeting system allows the sniper to guide the round fired around corners or others forms of cover.

[Mystical Throne Entertainment] Faith & Demons Nation Guide: Croatia
Author: Aaron T. Huss
Pages: 11
Price: €1,49 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)

The actual kingdom of Croatia does not date back nearly as far as its neighboring nations, but its people had been around for centuries already. The Croats migrated to the area before forming the Duchy of Croatia within the Byzantine land formerly known as the Theme of Dalmatia. Although this migration period is debated, it is believed the Croats arrived sometime in the early 7th century.

Welcome to the fourth FAITH & DEMONS: THE RISING NATION GUIDE, a series of mini-sourcebooks detailing the different nations during the Dark Ages. Each Nation Guide depicts historical information alongside that of mythology, folklore, speculation, and fiction for the purpose of providing additional content for your adventures and campaigns. This fourth Nation Guide details the nation of Croatia located in modern day Croatia, Serbia and Yugoslavia.

Faith & Demons Nation Guide: Croatia includes:

• A brief look at Christianity in Croatia.
• A Gazetteer listing major Croatian cities.
• Alternate history adventure hooks.
• A 450-year timeline of historical events.
• 4 new creatures from Croatian folklore.

... and more!

FAITH & DEMONS: THE RISING is a Dark Ages, historical fantasy mythology plot point setting for Savage Worlds where united lords have brought the world’s warriors together to prevent the armies of chaos from enslaving their people.

Faith & Demons Nation Guide: Croatia is not a stand-alone game and requires the Savage Worlds core rulebook. Although designed to be used in conjunction with the Faith & Demons: The Rising core setting guide, the source material can be with used any Savage Worlds product.

TAG Website Re-design!

We've been working on a brand new TAG website and we've some big changes coming soon. The old website will not be available over the weekend of the 27th/28th April as we make the new site available.

So what changes are there? The new site will have a single login making it easier to access all areas of the site.

There will be no seperate store as the products will be found on the seperate brand pages. The old forum will be locked but it will be accessible to view.

Unfortunately any previous store/forum logins and order history is not compatible with the new site. This means you will need to create a new account to access the new site. We will be keeping the old store history for sometime in case of queries however this will only be accessible by TAG Staff. Make sure you download any recent orders immediately as you will not be able to access the old store after the 26th April.

We know there are some big changes and understand that there is some inconvenience in creating a new site account. It will be worth the pain! The new site is a huge leap forward for TAG and helps us to bring you a better experience. We do expect a few tweaks will need to be made so please feel free to let us know of any problems you discover and we will fix them as we move forward. Thanks for your patience as we make these changes!

Author: Christopher J. N. Banks
Pages: 57
Price: €3,75 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)

The Three Kingdoms period of ancient China was born from the decentralization of the Chinese government and the rise of regional warlords. With the fall of the Han Dynasty, these warlords ruled their over their provinces and battled for control of the land.

[Reality Blurs] Ravaged Earth: Revised Second Edition
Authors: Eric Avedissian, Dave Olson, Sean Preston
Pages: 312
Price: €26,73 €15,28 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)

About the Setting

In 1898, the Martians tried to take over, but we got lucky and they left, died off, or whatever. Now, over thirty years later, they’re back. Persistent buggers, ain’t they?

We’re not totally unprepared. Aetherium, what we commonly call the Martian metal, has altered some folks and given them the power to fight back. While most of them live on the fringes, we need each and every one of them if we’re going to keep them from taking over. Aren’t we?

And if that’s not enough, this upstart named Hitler is mobilizing his forces, and he looks to be a rough customer. His rhetoric is certainly more than mere sabre rattling. No doubt, he and his Nazis are mixed up in this mayhem somehow or other…

Grounded in (Pulp) Logic

The traditional tropes, tricks, and genre conventions of pulp are given an intrinsic logic tied to the events of the invasion. These heroes are very much a part of the world, and are a direct result of Martian interference. Furthermore, the ripple effect cascades out beyond the initial alien contact and throughout the past thirty years since the first Red War, when their scout ships nearly decimated the earth. This background provides a milieu with enough flexibility wherein you can play as light as you like, or explore the seamy back alleys in a hard-boiled fashion.

If You’re the hero

You’re guaranteed to make a fantastic guy or gal right outta the gate. This is high-powered pulp, and we aim to deliver on that promise. You can make any kind of hero you can think of, be it a masked vigilante, a mighty magician, or a scientist with his robot companion. The emphasis is on versatility, and eliminating rank requirements goes a long way to accomplish this goal. You might think it’s crazy, and it is (crazy fun)!

If You’re the GM

We’ve got you covered. In addition to lots of tips and tricks accumulated over a lifetime of gaming and nearly a decade of playing Savage Worlds, you’ll be prepared for anything the players throw at you. Unfamiliar with pulp tropes? We’ve got you covered as well by taking you through various genre conventions and explaining how to incorporate them into your game. The plot point campaign and side treks should keep your heroes busy for a long time, but if you couple them with our critically acclaimed adventure generators, you’ll be having rollicking high adventure in no time.

What’s Revised?

As the oldest Savage Worlds licensee, we've learned a lot over the years and we've listened to our crack crew of editors and the feedback you provided us. Folks wanted more Martians in this book. The promise of the threat on the horizon wasn't enough. We've honed our focus in on that in a big, big way with the enclosed plot point campaign (which we’ll get to in a moment). The edges have been expanded. We've included our tried and tested simple power system that doesn't rely on power points, our extended trait check system, and more. The focus is on versatility, with you able to build the hero you want to play. There’s more, but we don’t want to give everything away.

The Plot Point Campaign

This is a massive twelve part campaign taking the heroes around the globe and even above it. In it, you will brave hidden temples and dank castles, confront Martian tripods and more, all in proper pulp fashion. Oh yeah, you’ll likely trade bullets with gangsters and blows with Nazis. It’s all in a day's work for a hero like you to save the world from the Martian Invasion!

Our Track Record

The expansive number of edges has been tuned and refined, as we've learned from our efforts over the years. Everything has been extensively played and tested. And can be found in such fine products as Iron Dynasty, Realms of Cthulhu, RunePunk, and our ENnie-nominated Agents of Oblivion. In fact, we’ve gone Power Point-free, using the system developed for Realms of Cthulhu and expanded in Agents of Oblivion.

What's Special About the Expanded Edition?

Pre-orders get 18 pages of content that won’t be in the general PDF release!

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...

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.

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,
