[BlackWyrm Games] The Widening Gyre: Walking Towns - A Savage Supplement
Author: William Keyes
Pages: 8
Price: €1,81 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)


Welcome to Pietre Verde, a charming Alpine town! But this little town is anything but ordinary. In fact, it is the most marvelous wonder of engineering ever conceived and built! Come explore its streets and squares, meet its charming residents, and wonder at the miracle of its very existence!

Welcome to Schwartzstadt, a picturesque town in the heart of Europe! But despite its rural charms, under its normal-seeming streets and byways lurks a dark, murderous secret. Can you survive the terror that possesses the heart of the Dark Town?

Investigate a pair of unique and legendary steam-powered artifacts and learn their deepest secrets. This PDF contains two new amazing gadgets for a Savage Worlds steampunk game, plus characters and adventure seeds to fuel your imagination! Although written for Savage Worlds and The Widening Gyre, these amazing wonders are easy to port over into any system or setting that you can imagine.

During the Franco-Prussian War of 1862-1870, marauding armies overran many small towns and villages. In order to protect themselves, one town came upon a novel solution. Instead of trying to defend itself (a losing proposition to be certain), it would use the age-old solution: run away from danger. Using the latest technology and supported by several brilliant Savants, they put legs on their town, making it mobile. Soon, other towns followed the first one’s lead and now there are many walking towns.

Walking towns are slow and ponderous and make a tremendous amount of noise, but they are simply amazing to witness. In the years since the wars, many of them have settled down in fertile areas, never to move again unless danger looms. Others have become something like gypsy towns, packing up and moving on every few months. Legend says that there are walking ghost-towns as well; mechanized villages which roam during fog-shrouded nights, or silhouetted by the flickering lighting during terrible thunderstorms. Much like the legendary Flying Dutchman of the high seas, these haunted places are seen as an evil omen, bringing bad luck wherever they are seen.

A Supplement for The Widening Gyre, A Savage Steampunk Setting.

[Mystical Throne Entertainment] Mercenary Breed: Rebellion
Author: Aaron T. Huss
Pages: 91
Price: €4,61 €2,31 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)


The Argo Galaxy is growing – not physically but figuratively. After years of study, the House of the Alliance has finally decided to open the Hastilion Expanse for full settlement and corporate utilization. Researchers identified numerous planets and moons as optimal for civilization and corporations from around the known galaxy, including Drake Mining and Manufacturing, are making plans to acquire land.

Since its inception, Drake Mining and Manufacturing has prided itself on mining resources and creating high-quality products from those resources to support the entire galaxy. Moving into the Hastilion Expanse provides them with a wealth of opportunities to expand their operations and grow their business. That is, of course, if their new facilities can survive.

New planets are always fraught with hidden dangers from native flora and fauna, pirates, rival corporations, and rebellious populations. Only the strength of Drake’s mercenary force will help them overcome any roadblocks and become successful. As long as they don’t get killed in the process.

Rebellion presents the Heroic portion of the Hastilion Expanse campaign for Mercenary Breed or it can be used as a collection of adventures for any sci-fi setting. While parts of it were originally published in Savage Insider Premium and the Hastilion Expanse Compendiums, this new campaign book updates that content to Mercenary Breed 2.0 and expands on it.

Rebellion includes:

• Heroic-rank campaign missions (also suitable for Legendary rank).
• A collection of additional Heroic-rank adventures based within the Drake Mining and Manufacturing setting.
• New Xenopedia entries.

Rebellion is not a standalone product. It requires the Mercenary's Handbook and the Savage Worlds core rulebook. GMs may want the Galaxy Guide and Xenopedia to get the full feel of the Hastilion Expanse campaign along with the Drake Mining and Manufacturing setting primer for a gazetteer of the Expanse and Lord Leohn for all Novice-ranked plot points, Mastermind for all Seasoned-ranked plot points, and Infiltration for all Veteran-ranked plot points.

[Savage Mojo] Shaintar Guidebook: Dregordia
Authors: Darren Pearce, Sean Patrick Fannon
Pages: 19
Price: €5,53 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)


Who...and What are the Dregordians!

Even though they look like 7 and a half foot tall crocodiles, they have emotions anyone could understand.  These are a people who enjoy learning from the other races.  They've long interacted with the Fae and have been a stalwart barrier against the Kal-A-Nar Empire's expansion to the south.

A race, strange and Alien.  Some think these folk are behind the Dragon cult but that couldn't be farther from the truth. These people follow The Way and choose logic and control over transitory feelings. Its probably a good thing...given that a moment of anger could mean the dismemberment of those less hardy races.

Come and travel in the living jungle and along the river to Ssatay.  The harmony within is shown in the architecture, art and culture of this people - yet they have lived through generations of war. 

This book contains everything required to base a campaign or character within Dregordia.  You'll learn the history, weapons, art, beliefs and rituals of this strange race.  There's even a bit of politics and even a secret or two we've shared.

[Kyoudai Games] Savage Thunderscape: The World of Aden
Author:  John Beattie, Mark Swafford, Shawn Carman, Rich Wulf; Original World of Aden: Shane Lacy Hensley
Pages: 118
Price: €18,28 PDF; €27,43 SC; €45,71 €36,57 SC + PDF (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)


An Epic World of Steam and Darkness

In Aden, a thousand-year Golden Age of prosperity gave rise to an unprecedented development: the fusion of magic and technology into a unique discipline called mechamagic. Arcane power, steam power, and gunpowder changed the world almost overnight. The Golden Age ended, and the Age of Thunder began. It seemed that there would be no limit to the industry and ingenuity of man.

Until the Darkfall.

A supernatural cataclysm of unknown origin, the Darkfall plunged the world into darkness as the sun was blotted out for only a moment. In that moment, every nightmare and horror imagined by the people of Aden sprang into existence, and the world was thrown into chaos. Villages were wiped from the face of the world, entire cities burned, and tens of thousands perished in an instant. It seemed that the world would die in flames.

But Aden will not die so easily.

Now, ten years later, the people of Aden struggle to survive in the face of unrelenting assault by horrors beyond imagining. It is a world of magic, a world of industry, a world of horror.

It is the World of Aden.

Savage Thunderscape: The World of Aden is a setting and mechanics sourcebook compatibly with the Savage Worlds role-playing game. Within the pages of this book you will find the following:

• Details on the different races of Aden, seven of which are new to this work!
• New Edges of all types, including new Arcane Backgrounds!
• New spells, new technology, and new equipment!
• A sample bestiary of creatures from Aden!
• And much, much more!

-----------------------------

Hi folks,

We have now received the print proof pages in glorious shiny color! There was a delay in our plans – we weren’t happy with the paper quality or color of the first proof (sent before Christmas) so we had another copy printed and shipped over from the USA. We know we’re long overdue on the Atlas, but we’re not going to take shortcuts in quality just to rush it out to you. You’ll be glad to know that we’re happy with the paper and color on this proof, so that’s a big step forward.

Now we have to go through the proof page by page to spot any layout errors. If there are none, we send back a form and the book joins the print queue. Should we spot an error, we have to get it fixed and order up another proof. It’s a slow process that goes on behind the scenes of the glamorous world of book publishing, but it’s a vital one.

Finally, to satisfy growing demand from fans, the physical book will be going up for preorder on our website today and will be dispatched at the same time as backer copies. No numbered or signed copies are available through this means.

Many thanks for your support!

There are also cities and towns, urban sprawls where the best and worst of the civilized races live side by side, if not always in harmony.

Triple Ace Games is proud to present nine of Hellfrost’s towns and cities in greater detail than ever before!

This project is to fund FIVE city books:

[Fabled Environments] Olympus, Inc. *KICKSTARTER*
Authors: Gilbert Gallo, Charles White
Pages: ca. 150

My name is Xander Smith and I am descendant of Zeus. I used to be just like you; I lived a normal life. Motorcycle champ Casey Stoner was my personal hero and the Red Hot Chili Peppers were my idols. Mr. Franklin, my loud neighbor, was my worst enemy and my gamer buddies were my best friends. My dream was becoming a Motocross champion. This used to be my life until day when I “awoke”.

Exactly two years ago, I was riding my Honda CBR on a lonely highway when a heavy thunderstorm suddenly started. The heavy rain would have stopped most wannabes, but I didn’t break a sweat. I pushed my bike even harder. Suddenly, lightning flashed down from the sky and hit me like a freight train. The pain was tremendous! I closed my eyes and waited to die.

However, things went differently. I had been chosen by Fate, although I didn’t know it then. I felt a tremendous surge of power within me and I could not believe my eyes when I reopened them. I was unscathed and flying six feet above ground while my motorcycle was a pile of sludge on the highway. That was the best moment of my whole life. In that instant, I felt like I could do everything, see everything, be everywhere and know everything. That’s how a god feels, I thought then. That’s what we call “The Awakening”.

In a world that appears identical to our own, the Titans of myth have deposed the upstart Olympians and now rule the heavens. But Zeus and the other gods of Olympus have found a new way to harvest the power of worship—through mankind’s love of money! Step into a world of shadowy politics, satyr cyber-raiders, demigods, and an ongoing clandestine war for control of the firmament.

Olympus, Inc. from Fabled Environments will bring you into this modern-but-ancient dystopia. You’ll get full details on six of the major Olympians, their corporate “temples” on earth, satyrs and minospawn, and the Nemesis Effect that punishes both sides when the war gets out of hand.

Olympus, Inc. is written for Savage Worlds and requires both the core rule book and the Super Powers Companion for play.

[Middle Kingdoms Adventure & Trading Co.] Heart of Darkness
Author & Artist: Frank Turfler, Jr.
Pages: 38
Price: €5,53 €3,68 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)

Mal Fisher, the Captain of the light freighter Bella LeGosi, claims to know the whereabouts of The Lady of Esparto, an ancient lost ship carrying treasure worth millions, and he is looking to hire a salvage crew. He wants to keep everything off the books as he is operating without the required paperwork. He has chosen not to apply for a salvage license for fear that a treasure as great as the Lady of Esparto will attract too much unwanted attention, increasing the likelihood of claim jumpers, pirates, and crooked authorities looking for an easy buck. He is offering a substantial amount of money and a percentage of the treasure for the completion of the job.

Heart of Darkness is an adventure framework. This adventure is written differently than most RPG adventures.  The traditional map has been replaced with locations and connections only. Removing the “empty space” areas, the countless rooms, and places that may contain nothing of interest to the players or the story, it reduces the amount of paper shuffling and allows the Game Master to see at a glance the information needed for each area, encounter, or point.
