Peginc mit "neuem" Savage Worlds Setting - VIA KICKSTARTER !

Quelle: Klick me

It’s like a revolution here at Pinnacle. We’ve got a new setting to talk about next week, and we’re going to try something new to us—Kickstarter! We’re even pretty sure what we’re doing with our Kickstarter is new, too!

Are we suffering from spring madness? Maybe. Are you suffering from insatiable curiosity? Probably. Do you desperately want a hint that’s almost certainly misleading? Well, let me oblige—the setting is something old with something new, where something dead can sing the blues…
You want better hints? You want more low-down? You want to visit our Facebook page!
Be sure to drop by next week for the full skinny.

Na, wenn das kein HOE ist ... ? Was meint Ihr?

Es ist ein NEUES Setting und keine Lizenz. Ich tippe eher auf Weird War Rome, das ja schon vor Monaten über ihre Facebook-Seite spukte...

Allerdings orakelt Matthew Cutter, der Brand Manager von Pinnacle: "It involves a very young Elvis..."

Deadlands Noir—The Secret Setting Revealed!

The year is 1935. New Orleans is one tough lady of a town. Some say her blood-red lipstick hides a heart of gold, others say it’s black as a killin’ bruise. Colorful, but a smart man don’t say nothin’ if he can avoid it—best to let the deadly secrets of the streets roll down the gutters like dirty rainwater.

This hard-boiled new setting brings the gritty history of the Deadlands world into the 1930s, giving you the shades of gray only a world of noir can deliver. Study the dangerous art of private detection in the city of New Orleans, solve whodunnits where both suspects and victims shoot back, venture into the gator-filled sludge of Louisiana’s deadly bayous, and learn just what the killer known only as “Stone” is doing in the Big Easy.

Deadlands Noir is also our first foray into Kickstarter. Even if you’re somehow not interested in the dizzying array of fabulous perks available, be sure to check out the first installment of the illustrated audio drama Hard Boiled in the Big Easy.

Since we first leaked a teaser about the new setting last Tuesday, we’ve been running a contest on our Facebook page to guess the name of the new setting. Give it a look-see for an explanation of the various clues and whether anyone guessed it correctly.

Hellfrost - Region Guide #52: Supplemental Material
Model: TAG31253
Author: Paul "Wiggy" Wade-Williams
Page Count: 19 + 14
Price: €3.49 (TAG), €3.61 (DriveThruRPG)

The road goes ever on! Actually, it doesn't. After an epic quest spanning two years, the exploration of the northern continent's mundane realms reaches its conclusion.

Hundreds of sites of interest have been described in the Hellfrost Gazetteer and Region Guide series, yet these have barely scratched the surface. The snow-bound continent is a vast place, littered with isolated communities, thriving towns, and abandoned ruins of bygone ages. This Region Guide contains an additional 35 locales and 4 colorful citizens from across the continent.

As a special bonus to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Hellfrost, this Region Guide comes with a free 14-page supplement exploring one of the major cities.

Hinweis: Wie vermutet ist es Aslov - sogar mit grober Karte.

[Interface Zero] Hostile Takeover
Author: Charles Green
Artists: Sam Manley (midnight illustrations), Jason Walton
Pages: 40
Price: €5.79 (DriveThruRPG)


THE VIEW FROM THE TOP

The Megacorp is a staple of cyberpunk literature. These titanic, inhuman forces of naked greed and lust for power are like the gods of the mythic age. Their aims are enacted in the realm of mortals through their employees; agents that are expected to further the ends of their corporate masters in exchange for the best gear, cash, and a lifestyle that is the envy of many.

In most cyberpunk games, the ways that player characters interact with megacorps are strictly one-sided: the Corp hires the PCs to do a job, always with a looming threat of an attempt to screw the poor suckers over. In Hostile Takeover, we turn this relationship on its ear.

With this book, the player characters are put in charge of a fledging corporation. Can they swim in the sea of dangerous hostile corporations, or will they be gobbled up whole by an unsuspected rival?

The rewards are immense power, wealth, and influence. That is, of course, assuming you can keep it. The world in which megacongloms operate in 2088 is one of threats, espionage, and hostile takeovers; where the result of a life's work can be taken away through the purchase of a few stock options. Only those skilled and fortunate enough can thrive in this environment.

The rest get used up and tossed aside.

So, ami, what do you think? Do we have a deal?


THE NEW EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION HANDBOOK

Membership has its privileges. Here you’ll find a guide to Corporate Culture, new Edges, Hindrances and Skills, and a sweet Expense Account, assuming you can keep and maintain your ever-changing relationship with the Corporation itself.

THE POLICY AND PROCEDURE MANUAL

Here you’ll find tools and rules suggestions to make your job of running a corporation campaign easier. There is some discussion on what to focus on and what to let run in the background, a system of Trappings to characterize the various corporations that will be involved in the ongoing campaign, a list of the major comgloms of 2088, and Murder in the Boardroom: how to use the Situational Rules from the Savage Worlds Deluxe Edition to describe the big events in a corporation’s year.

Welcome to a world of high-stakes, winner-take all power plays, where one wrong move can shatter dreams, legacies, and stock options.

I hope you’re ready.

[Low Life] The Whole Hole - A Gadabout's Guide to Mutha Oith - Volume 01: Keister Island
Author: Andy Hopp
Artist: Andy Hopp
Pages: 226
Price: €10.83 (DriveThruRPG)


Tash Shardborn has this to say:

“In a very real sense, the Keister is the island. But in an equally, and more accurately, real sense the island is the island. Witness the cosmopolitan jumble of Floom, the aromatic mysticisms of the Garden of Smellemental Glee, the monumental juts and caverns of the Knobby Rumple... Behold dank rites and unspeakable atrocities as you scramble your way through the lichenous strew of Stan’s Rug. Prance the loamy frolic of the Soul Patch. Wallow in the ichorous murk of the Imple Slew. Wonder what all those statues are about. Do some other stuff. Try not to get eaten.”

The Whole Hole - A Gadabout’s Guide to Mutha Oith, Volume 01: Keister Island is the first in a series of guidebooks (that’s what “Volume 01” means) designed to immerse the reader within and among the places, peeps, beasts, and happenings of the various realms of Mutha Oith. Join intrepid gadabout Toucanacondor Flaminguez as he tours Keister Island. You’ll explore dozens of locales, meet hundreds of peeps, examine new religions, gawp in awe at wondrous magics, and run in terror from a bunsload of horrifying monstrosities. Here you’ll investigate the Fundamental nature of all things, dabble in smellcasting at the Garden of Smellemental Glee, chug suds with Floom’s elite, and marvel at the bottomless Keister of Gawd. There’s new Holy Crap, new Edges and Hindrances, New PC species, new setting rules, and twenty pages of new monsters. Seriously, stop reading the back cover and just buy the goosin’ thing already.

Thoroughly researched, Caravan is historically accurate, or at least as accurate as you can get while still having halflings running around underfoot.

Heute kann ich leider nur mit einer eher mittelmässigen News aufwarten. Wir hatten ein paar Probleme mit den Vektordateien der limitierten Fassung und konnten diese erst in der letzten Woche lösen. Die Auslieferung der Limited verzögert sich dadurch leider um gut 14 Tage. Sobald ich den exakten Ausliefertermin habe, gebe ich den noch mal gesondert bekannt und lade euch auch ein paar Schnappschüsse hoch.
