Price: € 5.76 (DriveThruRPG)

As if the power vacuum created by Rome’s fall isn’t enough, the survivors are fighting against multiple forces. Religious persecution has reared its head with claims of heresy against those who are just worshiping as they always have. Tribal conflicts threaten to tear asunder tenuous allegiances. The land is suffering from the fall-out of it all making nomadic life more difficult than typical. The undead armies, horrific demons, and a host of once mythological creatures stalking the landscape create tension from shore to shore. Someone needs to do something. And the lords have decided your party counts as ‘someone.’

Your characters have it in them to be more than a survivor. Lead your nomadic tribe’s defense against all sides to become a legendary warrior. Best a demon lord. Quell the lich’s vampire army. Call down the angels of heaven to fight at your side. Or maybe call upon the denizens of hell to tear apart your foes.

FAITH & DEMONS: THE RISING is a Dark Ages, gothic fantasy 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.

The FAITH & DEMONS: THE RISING core setting guide includes:

• 9 templates to tie your character to their home nation.
• Over 90 new Edges.
• 4 new Arcane Backgrounds.
• Weapons and armor straight out of the Dark Ages.
• Religion and Mythology found during the Dark Ages.
• Over 45 new creatures from folklore, mythology, and gothic horror.
• A complete plot point campaign from Novice to Heroic.
• 16 Savage Tales from Novice to Veteran
• … and much more

Join the battle and defeat the armies of chaos!

FAITH & DEMONS: THE RISING is not a stand-alone game and requires the Savage Worlds core rulebook.

[Suzerain] Quantum Sliders: Blessed Child
Author: Zach Welhouse
Pages: 16
Price: €2.89 (DriveThruRPG)


Some princesses are blessed at birth with grace, beauty, and good sense. Mari of Tarag-Hih would be so lucky! Instead, she was promised the love of all the gods. When the agents of the besotted deities invade her fairytale realm, it’s up to your band of visiting heroes to make sure everyone leaves happy - from Krona-Yig (the Eyeless Tyrant) to Pele, Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes.

This Heroic rank tale for Savage Worlds is set in the god realms of the Maelstrom. It creates a diplomatic burly brawl, where honor and humanity are as scarce as seven-league boots. Will they fight for what’s right, or for the deific suitor with the deepest pockets? And whatever happened to the Forgotten Forest, anyway?

Product contains: A 16-page high resolution PDF plus a print friendly version for free. A copy of Savage Suzerain is also recommended to get the best out of this book.

Für alle Rippers-Begeisterten: Die Druckerei hat heute den Liefertermin bestätigt und einem Verkauf auf der RPC steht damit nichts mehr im Wege. Ein kleiner Wermutstropfen bleibt jedoch: Die limitierte Edition braucht ein paar Tage länger und wird daher nicht auf der Convention erhältlich sein. Für alle Nicht-RPC-Besucher (soll es ja auch geben) ist das allerdings eher ein Vorteil, denn ab sofort könnt ihr die limitierte Edition einzeln und als Bundle in unserem Shop erwerben.
Als kleines Goodie, hier noch einer der neuen Archetypen.
Bleibt savage!

ACHTUNG! CTHULHU

The Secret War Has Begun!

Achtung! Cthulhu brings you a two-fisted wartime roleplaying game setting for Call of Cthulhu and Savage Worlds, packed full of fiendish Nazi scientists, terrifying ancient mysteries, legendary German war machines, desperate partisans, gun-toting paratroopers, determined investigators, and enough writhing tentacles to pack ten Reichstags.

Discover the secret history of World War Two - stories of the amazing heroism which struggled to overthrow a nightmare alliance of science and the occult, of frightening inhuman conspiracies from the depths of time, and the unbelievable war machines which were the product of Nazi scientific genius - and how close we all came to a slithering end!

Play a huge range of classic wartime heroes such as Russian political officers, German U-Boat commanders, British commandoes, RAF pilots, US rangers, Washington investigators, London journalists, Hollywood starlets, and resistance fighters from all across Europe, who must all unite in the battle against the darker side of World War Two. Play a full campaign leading from the opening shots of the War in 1939, through intrigue and adventure in Occupied Europe, the siege of Berlin in 1945, and finally the cold wastes of Antarctica in 1946!

Featuring stunning art by illustrator Dim Martin and more artists to be announced, Achtung! Cthulhu will be packed full of evocative and inspirational scenes. The product line includes several major campaigns; Achtung! Cthulhu - The Mountains of Madness sees a return to Lovecraft's infamous Antarctic world and is set during the opening shots of WW2. A hastily assembled Allied expedition must pursue the Nazi war machine deep into the Antartic to discover the secrets of a lost continent and confront a terrifying reality.

Imminent episodic Achtung! Cthulhu releases will set the stage for the campaigns and main setting arriving later this year. Written for the popular Call of Cthulhu and Savage Worlds roleplaying game systems, Achtung! Cthulhu will thrust your characters in to the midst of a dark and desperate struggle, as Cthulhu's minions take advantage of the chaos wrought by the Third Reich to topple civilization! The massive world-spanning Achtung! Cthulhu setting features occult conspiracies, terrifying Nazi war machines, and an ancient evil so powerful that it threatens to tear the world apart!

Achtung! Cthulhu will also be available for Expeditions, a brand new standalone roleplaying system designed to introduce new friends to roleplaying. Expeditions - Achtung! Cthulhu will feature complete rules for exciting roleplaying adventures in World War 2, as well as equipping company-sized expeditions to confront the horrors unleashed!

Achtung! Cthulhu & Expeditions are both being developed by new games imprint Modiphius founded by the ENNIE Award nominated Starblazer Adventures & Legends of Anglerre writer Chris Birch. Modiphius will be working with some familiar names in publishing to bring their digital releases to physical print, promoting great artists & writers and giving gamers some amazing worlds to play in!

Red Land
Model: SW1001PDF
Author: Shtab Dukhonin
Language: Russian
Pages: 199
Price: 490 руб (Studio101)

The World War has not ended. Apocalyptic prophecies have come true. Dozens of doctrines and ideologies promise a perfect world order with happiness for all, then coalesce into a bloody civil war that shatters the Russian Empire and, in some ways, the world itself.

Behind the open conflicts, a secret war of mystic orders is playing out. The longer you survive, the more you may learn, and the more power you might yet master. But power can be as deadly to its “masters” as it is to its “victims,” and you never truly know which you are in this broken world.

Red Land is a mystical action game in an alternate Russian Civil War in 1917–1922 where magic has become as important to politics as force and intrigue in the first Russian-language Savage Worlds setting! Red Land is brought to you by Studio 101, the fine folks producing the Russian-language Savage Worlds rules. Perhaps this is the excuse you need to add another language to your repertoire, eh?

[Silver Gryphon Games] Diabolical Traps - The Maintenance Mummy
Author: Kevin Rohan
Page Count: 4
Price: Free (DriveThruRPG)

Deep in the shadow of Mount Terror lies the Tomb of Zuul-Tem. It has remained undisturbed for a thousand years, haunted by the cures of the ancient Necromancer who was supposedly laid to rest there. His knowledge, his treasure, and his power are said to be there with him. You and your group have planned an expedition there; an untouched crypt for a millennium. It is said to be trapped with devices of such lethal cunning that most men will die of fright. And it’s yours for the taking!

Yeah right.

It takes effort to make sure that all of the treasure stays put and the legend of the crypt stays intact. Traps need to be reset, and that is a huge undertaking. Even trying to do it by hand subjects the owner to the trap inside. Thus, the Maintenance Mummy was created.

With stats for the Savage Worlds, Ingenium, and Æther systems, this whimsical addition to a dungeon solves a long-time question in fantasy role-playing: how is everything still even working?

Savage Insider: Judgment Day (Expanded Edition)
Author: Aaron T. Huss
Artists: Jim Scanlin, Bradley K. McDevitt
Page Count: 90
Price: €4.31 (DriveThruRPG)

Judgment Day is a universal setting where characters join the ranks of the Inquisition and their fight against the supernatural beings that threaten mankind.

The Inquisition has been protecting the world for centuries. While many feel solitude within their homes, inquisitors of all types are hunting the denizens that terrorize and kill. In Judgment Day, players take on the role of inquisitors hunting down and purging the likes of werebeasts, demons, aliens, ghosts, vampires, and more. Whether used as a stand-alone setting or secret society within existing settings, the Inquisition is ready to protect.

Judgment Day is a mini-setting, designed to be placed within existing settings to create specialized inquisitors while still being usable as a stand-alone setting focused on hunting horrific beings. To coincide with the stand-alone aspect, Judgment Day contains aspects of a modern fantasy, action horror setting.

Inside the Judgment Day core setting guide you will find:

• Background information describing the esoteric Inquisition.
• New Hindrances to flavor your Inquisitors.
• 30 new Inquisitional Edges to bring your inquisitors from Novice scholars to Legendary Grand Inquisitors.
• New adversaries to challenge your inquisitors.
• A fully-detailed Savage Tale to start your inquisitor's careers.

The Expanded Edition contains:

• An expanded bestiary
• Expanded content
• Revised tool-kit
• A Print-on-Demand friendly layout
• New art to reflect the horror aspects of the setting

Watch for additional content to be released within the standard quarterly issues of Savage Insider!

[Savage Mars] Soul-Thieves of Mars
Author: H.M. 'Dain' Lybarger
Artists: Jesus Garcia Lopez, Rick Hershey

Price: €3.62 (DriveThruRPG)

Adamant Entertainment is pleased to present Soul-Thieves of Mars, an adventure for our Savage Worlds setting of swords and science beneath the moons of Mars!

“I brought some things for consignment...” Argol the Weaver said, laying out three intricately-woven bolts of spidersilk on the counter. “Some of my best, don’t you think?” he said, running sensitive fingertips across the textured fabric. He waited for his old friend to respond in a deprecating manner, as the first stage of their long-standing haggle over prices, but Sajal Gax said nothing.

“Is everything alright? Have you spoken to the Magistrate?” Argol listened intently, but heard only his friend’s shallow breathing.

“Perfectly alright.” The merchant’s slow response was low and devoid of emotion. “There was no need to speak to the Magistrate. I will pay you nine alvash for these.” Each coin clinked with machine-like precision as the merchant counted them out onto the cool marble countertop.

Argol hurried from the shop, barely remembering to sweep the coins into his hand, and nearly toppling a bolt of cloth from its rack as he fled. Slipping through the door and into the marketplace, he was irrationally certain that he could feel Sajal Gax’ hollow-eyed gaze following him...

The heroes are hired by a trade caravan as guards, and travel to the city of Ban Ma Terril. One of the merchants of the city, a weaver named Argol, warns them that something is going on -- people in the city have begun to act strangely: hollow, as if their wills were not their own, as if someone or something had stolen their very souls!

The investigation will lead to mystery, intrigue and murder, as the heroes are drawn into the machinations of a secret society that threatens the entire Red Planet!

Price: €1.81 Adventure only, €2.90 Adventure/Map Bundle (DriveThruRPG)


Things have gotten hot in Wellstone, maybe a little too hot. The best thing you can do is lay low, especially after that whole hotel fiasco. Then this job just lands in your lap. It's perfect: it's in Mexico, it's dealing with Wellstone City scumbags, and it's working with a high-level security company with few real ties to the City. As a matter of fact, it's almost too perfect...

This adventure is the sixth adventure of the Wellstone City Chronicles for the Wellstone City setting. This Savage adventure is 15 pages that takes the PCs out of their normal playground and sets them loose on some biker scumbags that the world would be better off without. They will be working with a highly trained organization on a direct hit on a fortified ranch 50 miles of the border. Oh. And they have an Apache.

The adventure is geared for 3 to 4 PCs and suggestions are given in the book to help ramp up the difficulty for either advanced characters or more players. It can be used in conjuction with the other Wellstone City Chronicles, and it can be used in any order with them. Grab this sixth installment of the Wellstone City modern urban adventure arc today!

Inside you’ll find:

• A new security company that can be used in the future by GMs and Players alike
• Maps detailing the locations, with expanded maps provided by Fabled Environments!
• More connections in Wellstone
• More fame and reputation to be gained as Freelancers instead of tying the PCs down to one of the crime syndicates
