These are the final days-
The signs are clear:
Even our pups know
That this is the age of the Apocalypse!

Werewolf the Apocalypse roared into hobby games in 1992, inspiring a generation of fans to stand up and howl their defiance at a corrupted world in a battle they knew they were doomed to lose. WtA presented the Garou: creatures at once both man and wolf, and filled with a Rage against the evils that would destroy and corrupt both the natural and spirit worlds. Capable of transforming into a variety of forms and blessed with Gifts that enabled superhuman and supernatural powers, the Garou fought many foes, always knowing that in the end they would fall. But what stories would be told and what songs sang of their exploits!

This epic tragic story, combined with the unwavering dedication of an unparalleled fan base, is the reason this book is being published. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – 20th Anniversary Edition brings the entire World of Darkness experience full circle and will serve as the perfect anniversary milestone to celebrate two decades of gaming the epic sagas of the Garou.

What’s in it?

• All thirteen original tribes, tribe variants and Lost Tribes, with their signature Gifts and Rites updated from the Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised tabletop rules.
• Rules for character creation and advancement.
• Gifts from level one through six, including expanded lists.
• Updated setting to the modern nights.
• New full color original art by Ron Spencer, John Bridges, Steve Prescott, Dan Brereton, Richard Kane Ferguson, and other classic “Apocalypse” artists, as well as classic B&W pieces carefully chosen from the earlier editions.

Scarlet Huntress Anthology on Kickstarter

Flames — Thu, 02 May 2013 18:58:56 +0000

Scarlet Huntress battles werewolves and fights for revenge in a new exciting comic with 3 stories and tons of new art by Sean Forney!

Scarlet Huntress has been a passion and a long journey for us. We have worked hard to develop the characters, back stories, and story arcs to keep readers interested. The original book, Scarlet Huntress #1, came out in 2006 but Scarlet first appeared in two other anthology books called Portal. After seeing great reviews and success with #1 we took our time developing the next phase of the story and published Scarlet Huntress #2 in 2011. Soon after came the ancillary books Scarlet’s Guide to Cryptids and a children’s book version Little Red Riding Hood: Origins of a Huntress. People have been asking for more stories and more books so we’ve come up with this kickstarter to help fund our and everyone else’s dreams of seeing more Scarlet Huntress hitting the shelves.

This kickstarter will allow Sean to take time away from other paying work to finish the art on the new Scarlet Huntress book. The stories have been written, and cover is done, and now we just need the time and the money to finish the art and get it published and into the hands of readers. People all over the country and some international readers have been asking for new material, but it’s hard to justify getting the art finished when we also need to put food on the table and stay afloat as a family. This is where the wonderful idea of kickstarter comes in – it allows us to seek funds to help produce this awesome new work!

This new book is a collection of 3 stories, each of which have a very different theme and style because they’ve been written by 3 different writers (John Barker, Bryan (Stratos) K. Borgman, and regular Scarlet Huntress writer Stephanie Forney.

A little history…

For those of you who aren’t already fans please read these descriptions of the first and second issue of Scarlet Huntress to wet your appetite for more!

Scarlet Huntress #1 – After running away for two years due to the death of her mother, Scarlet returns hoping to move on with her life. Instead her plans change when she learns of a secret family legacy that will change her life forever. Through her grandmother Scarlet learns of a hidden world full of evil, werewolves, and huntresses. Now Scarlet must decide if she will follow in the secret family business and become the next Scarlet Huntress.

Scarlet Huntress #2 – Scarlet is home and her plans have changed now that she knows about the secret family legacy and has chosen to try out the Huntress idea in order to seek revenge for her mother’s murder. Now Scarlet takes her first steps into the secret family business, starts her training, and completes her FIRST KILL as a Huntress.

Scarlet’s Field Guide to Cryptids – Is a field guide journal from Scarlet’s perspective telling the stories of her encounters with various cryptids throughout the United States. Artwork within the book is done by Sean Forney and various artists including Josh Medors, Josh Warner, Jay Fife, Sean Collins, and more.

World of Darkness: The God Machine Chronicle at DriveThruRPG

Flames — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 19:48:52 +0000

“Here’s the question:Do you really want to know? Because it’s not like it’s a secret. It’s just like your car it doesn’t run by magic but it might as well, for all you know when you look under the hood.”

– Wesley Cote, AKA The Key

What Has Risen May Fall

What is the God-Machine? That question doesn’t have a single, easy answer, but that doesn’t stop people from asking. The World of Darkness is layer upon layer of mystery, but what is the mechanism that keeps it all moving? Is there a design in play? And what happens to those who think to use the Machine for their own ends?

What Has Fallen May Rise Again

A Chronicle Book for the World of Darkness

A “default” chronicle, a way to introduce new players to the World of Darkness and experience one of its greatest mysteries
Choose the depth of madness that’s right for your group, from local to cosmic!
A modular approach to building a chronicle, 20 different stories that fit together to form “chronicle tracks”
Revisions of many of the core rules from the World of Darkness Rulebook

World of Darkness: The God Machine Chronicle is available now in PDF and Hardcover editions at DriveThruRPG.com!

Be sure to check out the God Machine Chronicle Fiction Anthology, a collection of terrifying insights into the God Machine and its effect on the inhabitants of the World of Darkness.

Trail of Cthulhu: Out of Space eBook available now!

Flames — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:15:59 +0000

Out of Space contains five adventures that will take Investigators from the mountains of northern Mexico to the skies above Germany, to the smog and disease of gaslight London and the raging tides of the Atlantic Ocean. It will even take you to a world that could only exist in your worst nightmares.

Created by GUMSHOE designer and gaming luminary, Robin D. Laws, Trail of Cthulhu veteran Adam Gauntlett, and Jason Morningstar, award-winning creator of Fiasco and the Shab-al-Hiri Roach, Out of Space features:

– The Repairer of Reputations: A seemingly utopian future takes on a distinctly nightmarish quality. The scenario plays with this by suggesting that the publication of The King in Yellow has warped history. The alien beings described in the play are as real as the antagonists believe them to be.
– Flying Coffins: Enemy planes are not the only things hunting in the sky. Winter, 1918. You are members of the Royal Flying Corps stationed near the Front and rumour has it, the next big push is about to begin. Meanwhile the new Hun Circus is racking up kill after kill – but is it the enemy or something else that’s to blame?
– Many Fires: In the mountains of northern Mexico, something ancient and obscene lies smoldering among ruins older than the Aztecs. But here the problems are more modern – and they wear gun-belts. Do an unlikely band of Investigators have the courage to tackle Pancho Villa’s bandit army? And what will they do when the trail of clues takes them into dangerous territory they cannot even imagine?
– Hell Fire: In the smog and grime of 18th century London, a great evil stirs. In the seedy underclass of the city a plague is taking hold. Its victims are under the sway of something far worse than they can imagine, an entity of disgusting power bent on engulfing the world in disease and death.
– The Millionaire’s Special: First class on the Titanic is exciting in itself but when you’re invited to a private viewing of one of the world’s great curiosities, a cursed Egyptian mummy, things take a turn for the worse. Strange rituals, a device to contact spirits and the awakening of something ancient and evil mean that icebergs are not the only danger for RMS Titanic.

Out of Space also features extensive handouts, pregenerated characters and exclusive new essays from the authors.

Trail of Cthulhu: Out of Space is available now in PDF format at DriveThruRPG.com!

Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Saga

Flames — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:28:28 +0000

Mega-City One, 2100. This post-apocalyptic city of the future is blighted by overcrowding, poverty and misery. With each of the 400 million citizens a potential criminal, order is maintained by future lawmen known as the Judges who have the power to act as judge, jury and executioner. Toughest of them all is Judge Dredd – he is the law!

A deadly plague developed during the brutal ‘Great Germ War’ has reached the futuristic metropolis of Mega-City Two, located on the West Coast of the USA. Charged with delivering a life-saving vaccine to the citizens of the disease-ridden city, Judge Dredd and a small crew of Judges, war droids and the lawbreaking biker, Spikes Harvey Rotten, must travel a thousand miles across the radioactive wasteland known as ‘the Cursed Earth.’

It is a near-impossible journey – hate-filled mutants, rampaging monsters and crazed war robots populate the hellish stretch of terrain. Many men have attempted to cross it and most have failed. But Judges are more than normal men and Judge Dredd is the best Judge there is!

These stories also feature in Judge Dredd The Complete Case Files 02.

Judge Dredd: The Cursed Earth Saga is available now at DriveThruComics.com!

Convention Book: Progenitors for Mage: the Ascension!

Flames — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:59:04 +0000

Heart of the Union

The Progenitors hid far more depth than anyone, Tradition or Technocrat, realized. Too long considered by others — and even themselves — as lab monkeys and cloistered researchers, their protective cocoon of isolation was ripped away by the Dimensional Anomaly. Forced by cataclysmic events, the Progenitors are injecting themselves back into a sick world.

The Union’s surgeons and chemists have made their diagnosis, and it scares them: the Technocracy’s diseased and about to tear itself apart. Traditions keep peddling snake oil treatments to a populace yearning for an easy fix. And there are worse things out there, cancers on the world. So the Progenitors must take the only sensible action: arm up and prep the OR.

A World Infected

The Masses are gobbling up the ideas behind biotechnology, medical advancements, cloning, and neurochemistry — nearly everything from the Convention’s bag of tricks. But the world is still full of scared people looking for magic pills to make all their problems go away. The members of the Technocracy are no different. But now the Progenitors are in the mix, frantic trauma surgeons elbow-deep in unwilling patients. Convention Book: Progenitors updates Mage: the Ascension with 21st century medicine, biotech, and desperate idealism.

Convention Book: Progenitors is available now in PDF and Print editions at DriveThruRPG.com!

Other Convention Books for Mage: the Ascension include:

Convention Book: N.W.O – The proud men and women who serve the New World Order are the paragons and saviors of humanity. These Enlightened minds have the thankless job of being our shepherd, leading us to ultimate Empowerment and protecting us from utter chaos: the misguided Traditionalists, corrupted Technocrats, vile creates, and ourselves.

Convention Book: Interation X – Iteration X represents the cutting edge of artifice, material science and man-machine technology. The Clockwork Conventioneers may be considered killer cyborgs or emotionless drones by their peers, but in truth they’re pioneers as well as warriors. The Iterators’ tools and computers empower humans, overcome defects and enable people to do things that would be impossible without the aid of machines. But with directives from machine intelligences and humans who give up flesh for metal, who’s the master and who’s the servant?

End Times in Dragon City by Matt Forbeck available now!

Flames — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:35:32 +0000

This Is the End

Ex-adventurer Max Gibson just made the biggest mistake of his life, and all of Dragon City is going to pay for it. Because of him, there’s nothing to stop the Ruler of the Dead from renewing her centuries-old war on the city Max and thousands of other souls call home. He would volunteer to be at the vanguard of those brave soldiers standing strong against her horde — if he hadn’t been tossed into the Garrett, the most impregnable prison on the planet, instead.

The Imperial Guard would have executed him for his crimes on the spot if the heir to empire — a young dragonet still wet behind his wings — hadn’t imprinted himself on Max at the moment he hatched. Separated from his scaly ward and anyone who might call him friend, there’s little Max can do but watch the city’s defenses crumble before the Ruler of the Dead’s relentless zombie army.

The End Times have come to Dragon City, and if Max doesn’t find a way out of his cell soon, he’s going to be the last person alive to see it.

End Times in Dragon City is the third novel in the Shotguns & Sorcery setting.

End Times in Dragon City is available now in eBook and Print formats at DriveThruFiction.com!

Save Big on Pelgrane Press’ The Book of Unremitting Horror!

Flames — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:57:22 +0000

A huge GUMSHOE source book for The Esoterrorists and Fear Itself

Players in horror campaigns are a little too accustomed to the nightmares their characters face; even the most eldritch of tentacular horrors is less intimidating when you know exactly what it is, because your PC has faced it before.

New times demand new nightmares. This, therefore, is a book of horrors, not a manual of monsters. The horrors are nightmarishly intimate, often created from human vice, or let loose by human greed. They show us the ugliness that underlies reality. They are the crawling things under the rock of the everyday, sane world. Consequently, we’ve detailed our creatures in depth.

Each one has its own agenda, its own reason for existence and its own legend. We’ve made these creatures unusual, frightening and bizarre, yet sufficiently comprehensible that they players realize they are up against something intelligent, if inhuman.

The Book of Unremitting Horror includes thirty creature each with:

Diary entries, articles and transcripts
A detailed description with behaviour
The forensic clues left behind by the creature
Details of their history and origins
Their special abilities
Their GUMSHOE system stats

For a limited time Pelgrane Press is offering you this collection of horror for only $8.99 at DriveThruRPG!

Normally this PDF sells for $14.95, so with this special discount you are saving 40%!

Act now to take advantage of this terrifying offer: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php?discount=63052

Frighten the investigators in your GUMSHOE games!

Petrify the members of the Ordo Veritatis as they face off against these monsters!

Dead Things by Matt Darst at DriveThruFiction

Flames — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:55:26 +0000

Nearly two decades have passed since the fall of the United States. And the rise of the church to fill the void. Nearly twenty years since Ian Sumner lost his father. And the dead took to the streets to dine on the living. Now Ian and a lost band of survivors are trapped in the wilderness, miles from safety. Pursued by madmen and monsters, they unravel the secrets of the plague…and walk the line of heresy. Now Ian and this troop need to do more than just survive. More than ever, they must learn to live.

Dead Things has been called “an amalgam of Clerks and everything Crichton and Zombieland.”

“Matt Darst is a truly original talent. His quick pacing, encyclopedic grasp of literature and history, and spellbinding mix of social commentary and jaw-dropping action make Dead Things a first-rate triumph. With a dash of Bradbury, hints of Huxley and Orwell, and heavy dollops of smart pop culture, Darst is taking the zombie novel in a really cool new direction, and you’re going to love every page of it. Hang on, if you can, because this guy has written a future history that will rattle every nerve you’ve got.” -Joe McKinney, author of Dead City and Apocalypse of the Dead

“A first-class zombie story which takes place in a beautifully realized post-apocalyptic world. In many ways a spiritual cousin to Matheson’s classic I am Legend, this is a fantastic and surprising horror tale. Highly recommended.” – David Moody, author of Them or Us and Autumn

“Matthew Darst is a writer who shares my Romero-esque love of zombies. Ever true to the vision of the zombie holocaust brought to us by Night of the Living Dead, Darst brings the collapse of civilization up to date. Darst brings us a startling real glimpse of the cause of the zombie contagion.” -Iain McKinnon, author of Domain of the Dead and Remains of the Dead

Dead Things is available now in PDF format at DriveThruFiction.com!

Night’s Black Agents Shadow Sale!

Flames — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 16:08:03 +0000

The Cold War is over. Bush’s War is winding down.

You were a shadowy soldier in those fights, trained to move through the secret world: deniable and deadly.

Then you got out, or you got shut out, or you got burned out. You didn’t come in from the cold. Instead, you found your own entrances into Europe’s clandestine networks of power and crime. You did a few ops, and you asked even fewer questions. Who gave you that job in Prague? Who paid for your silence in that Swiss account? You told yourself it didn’t matter.

It turned out to matter a lot. Because it turned out you were working for vampires.

Vampires exist. What can they do? Who do they own? Where is safe? You don’t know those answers yet. So you’d better start asking questions. You have to trace the bloodsuckers’ operations, penetrate their networks, follow their trail, and target their weak points. Because if you don’t hunt them, they will hunt you. And they will kill you.

Or worse.

Night’s Black Agents brings the GUMSHOE engine to the spy thriller genre, combining the propulsive paranoia of movies like Ronin and The Bourne Identity with supernatural horror straight out of Bram Stoker. Investigation is crucial, but it never slows down the action, which explodes with expanded options for bone-crunching combat, high-tech tradecraft, and adrenaline-fueled chases.

Updating classic Gothic terrors for the postmodern age, Night’s Black Agents presents thoroughly modular monstrosity: GMs can build their own vampires, mashup their own minions, kitbash their own conspiracies to suit their personal sense of style and story. Rules options let you set the level of betrayal, grit, and action in your game. Riff from the worked examples or mix and match vampiric abilities, agendas, and assets for a completely custom sanguinary spy saga.

The included hook adventure gets the campaign going; the included city setting shows you what might be clotting in Marseilles’ veins even now. Rack silver bullets in your Glock, twist a UV bulb into your Maglite, and keep watching the mirrors … and pray you’ve got your vampire stories straight.

For a limited time Pelgrane Press is offering Night’s Black Agents and The Zalozhniy Quartet, a thriller story arc of missions for 20% OFF at DriveThruRPG.com!

Get them before they get you!

Max Brooks Introduces Extinction Parade

Flames — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 22:48:57 +0000

New York Times bestselling author of World War Z develops original comic book series with Avatar Press

The bestselling zombie writer in history unleashes an all-new epic story in the biggest comic event of the summer! Max Brooks is known worldwide as one of the founders of the zombie renaissance, with his novels being considered essential reading for horror enthusiasts. World War Z has been adapted by Brad Pitt into a summer blockbuster premiering on June 20th and his first book, The Zombie Survival Guide, is cited as launching the zombie survival sub-genre. Now Emmy Award winning author, Max Brooks, has developed a brand new sub-genre of Vampires vs Zombies and is unleashing Extinction Parade, an epic horror comic series through Avatar Press. This massive 250+ page event teams Brooks with super-star illustrator, Raulo Caceres and is scheduled to debut in comic shops worldwide on June 19th, the day before World War Z opens in theaters. “We wanted to be certain that Max’s fans had an opportunity to enjoy this new masterpiece before they get out to see the movie,” said William Christensen, Avatar Press Publisher. “And by having Extinction Parade available the day before its release we help our retailer partners to serve the legions of Max Brooks fans who are ravenous for new material.”

Extinction Parade is Brooks’ first all-original serialized comic book work and is positioned to be an instant genre classic. In a world where the zombie plague has put the human race on the endangered species list, another predatory undead species realizes that to stand by idly means the end of their food supply. Vastly outnumbered by the zombie hordes, vampires descend into all-out subdead war, with humanity caught in the crossfire. This new series further examines Brooks’ fascination with the lethal races of the undead and brings his unique voice to comics at a time when horror fiction is at an all-time high in popularity.

With zombies making world headlines, most recently with the Canadian Parliament and Foreign Affairs Minister proclaiming that “Canada will never become a safe haven for zombies,” Brooks brings his patented approach for dealing with the subdead to Extinction Parade. “I’ve always said, first and foremost, stay calm [during a zombie outbreak]. Surviving a zombie plague is a hell of a lot harder without a cool head,” Brooks said. And his meticulously researched and innovative novels have provided millions with vital advice for would be survivors. But all fans from all walks of life are in for a treat when they see his critical eye for detail turned toward defining vampires in the way he has pioneered for zombies over the last decade.

Avatar Press is a groundbreaking independent publishing company which produces a wide variety of cutting-edge comic books, graphic novels, and original web content. Their high-quality publications include the work of such industry luminaries as Garth Ennis (Crossed, Chronicles of Wormwood), Warren Ellis (Freakangels), Christos Gage (Absolution, Crossed), Kieron Gillen (Uber), David Lapham (Ferals, Caligula), Max Brooks (Extinction Parade) and Alan Moore (Neonomicon). They also produce a diverse range of licensed projects including the classic zombie epic Night of the Living Dead and George R.R. Martin’s Fevre Dream and Skin Trade.

Scion: Extras (Supplemental Yet Can Be Somewhat Useful On Occasion Scions)

Flames — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:10:41 +0000

While it is well-known that not every God is as potent as Zeus (and not every Goddess as brave as Isis), even the Gods themselves tend to“forget” their long-lost cousins and great-aunts twice-removed on the other side of the family. Among the immortals, the uber-powerful feel there are some deities best left off Junior’s wedding invitation, ignored at holidays, or obscured deep in a poorly updated Wikipedia page.

In Extras: (Supplemental Yet Can Be Useful On Occasion Scions), a select number of these rare Gods, Goddesses, and their Scions have been thrown under the spotlight. From the oft-overlooked Queen of the Porcelain Throne to a brave-but-curious Scion who loves the outdoors, discover how the pantheons feel about these add-ons and their place in the War against the Titans.

This book is compatible with Scion: Hero. It includes:

10 playable Scion extras from 6 pantheons
Deadpan humor. Because RPGs are dead, ya know?
Song lyrics for Sci, Scion Style. We expect to see a fan video.
Easter eggs! Not the literal kind. That’d be too messy. The “Oooo…Fans might want to…” kind.
…and more!

Scion: Extras (Supplemental Yet Can Be Somewhat Useful On Occasion Scions) is available now in PDF at DriveThruRPG.com!

Gaming Legend Mark Rein•Hagen Knows What Scares Us in 2013

Flames — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 18:43:26 +0000

LEGENDARY ‘90S VAMPIRE CRAZE CREATOR RETURNS TO ONCE AGAIN SMASH OPEN POP CULTURE’S AGE-OLD OBSESSIONS

Mark Rein•Hagen brought dragons out of the dungeon and into the coffeehouse 20 years ago with a relevant and achingly literary spin on the undead, then vanished. Now he’s back with a new game for a planet crawling back from economic disaster.

Award-winning game designer and TV producer Mark Rein•Hagen knows what scares us, so now that he’s back with I AM ZOMBIE, his first all-new role-playing system in nearly two decades, we might all want to check our neuroses at the door.

The good news is that the co-founder of White Wolf Publishing (now owned by Icelandic MMORPG game developer CCP) isn’t shy about making sure not to serve loyal fans or new gamers any stale nightmares about the walking dead.

“People think zombies are played out but that’s just lazy storytelling finding its own level,” he explains. “The image of the animated corpse that pursues us endlessly still scares us. It still scares me, and I’ve watched a lot of zombie movies lately while working on I AM ZOMBIE. That’s why even the languid versions still have the power to both terrify us and inform our sense of where society is headed.”

After an intensely collaborative development cycle with Rein•Hagen’s partners at Make-Believe Games and Eschaton Media Inc., I AM ZOMBIE is currently slated to launch on Kickstarter on June 20th with full support from both companies.

Like a traditional role-playing game, I AM ZOMBIE allows players to participate in the storyline by taking the part of characters in a rich fictional setting, in this case a dense 50 year old “Manifesto of the Risen” that Rein•Hagen says bears unnerving echoes to a modern post-iPad, post-Occupy, post-Crash world.

However, I AM ZOMBIE’s mechanics take the game off the tabletop and into the field with playing cards and chips instead of character sheets. Those looking for a glimpse of Rein•Hagen’s current thinking can find plenty of clues at Make-Believe’s current Kickstarter campaign Succubus: The Reborn, which takes a particularly lush approach to the card-based system.

Rich online support will reflect the interest Make-Believe and the modern game community share in speed, DIY sensibility, and direct two-way communication between players and developers. Simplified versions of the I AM ZOMBIE cards will be available to print on demand, and playtesting will be open, free, and universal.

Plunge into the “Google Void”

Rein•Hagen and his design team primarily collaborate online – while he has adopted Tbilisi as his home, Make-Believe is based in Louisville and Eschaton operates out of Jersey City – so development meant months of searching endless wiki-fied, Google-friendly versions of the myth before finding inspiration well off the beaten track.

“I was rummaging through the ‘poetry’ shelves in a teeming Greenwich Village bookstore, and there it was: the historical I AM ZOMBIE manifesto,” he recalls.

“You know, the shelves where they keep all kinds of journals you’ve never heard of, privately printed zines, mimeographed rants. This strange book called itself ‘a Guide Book to the Hereafter, in Photographs and Text.’ I was a little dumbfounded and completely fascinated. This was our jumping-off point. And there was a P.O. Box address on the back page. I think the store wanted $3 for it. It goes for a lot more now.”

Further research revealed that I AM ZOMBIE was so obscure that a Google search turned up zero hits for the book, much less its authorship or anything about the publisher, Purgatory Press. Rare book dealers were little help, but a few months of digging secured the rights to adapt and reprint the somewhat eccentric text under new cover.

“There are still mysteries, even in this day of Google everything,” Rein•Hagen says. “Call them search voids, or social media holes, nobody ever mentions them anywhere online. Sometimes it’s because they don’t want to be found. I AM ZOMBIE was like that, and thanks to the good people at Purgatory Press, we’re going to get to take you somewhere new.”

ABOUT MARK REIN•HAGEN. As co-founder of White Wolf Publishing, creator of the world-renowned omnimedia franchise known as THE WORLD OF DARKNESS and co-producer of KINDRED: THE EMBRACED, Mark is sometimes known in the game industry as the “King of the Vampires” because of the influence he has had on subsequent Vampire movies and TV shows. He lives in Tbilisi with his wife and two children and is prepared for the end of the world as we know it.

ABOUT MAKE-BELIEVE GAMES. Make-Believe Games is an American game company focusing on developing innovative card, board, and role-playing games. I AM ZOMBIE is its third commercial design (following the “Euro-style” board game DEMOCRACY: MAJORITY RULES, and the “Party Poker RPG” game SUCCUBUS: THE REBORN (currently on Kickstarter), and now its first full role-playing system.

ABOUT ESCHATON MEDIA INC. Eschaton Media is an American game company focusing on game related trans-media properties. Eschaton Media came onto the scene with the release of the Dystopia Rising LARP network and Dystopia Rising table top game properties two years ago. Since then Eschaton Media has continued its focus on game lines that cross between the realms of alternate reality gaming, live action role playing, and traditional table top roleplaying games. Eschaton Media has thirteen publications either already released or set for release in 2013 ranging from novels to RPGs, to card games and film scripts.

Mummy the Curse RPG is available now at DriveThruRPG!

Flames — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:52:42 +0000

When you trespass,

the reason you feel

you are being watched

is because you are.

The fear is real.

When you steal,

the dread that comes over you

is neither guilt nor paranoia,

but the cold certitude of fate.

The curse is real.

When you die,

know that your life was but a flash

upon the face of the deep

in the mind of your judge.

We are real.

And we are arisen.

— Ankh-Nephris, the Hand of Wisdom

Imagine being both dead and deathless at the same time. Imagine being cradled in the arms of death for years, sometimes decades on end, but all the while knowing that you will eventually not only arise again, but awaken to an unfamiliar world that mostly fears and hates you. Now imagine that your purpose, your entire existence, is bound within this cycle — that you are chained to it for all eternity. You sleep, you wake, your serve your Judge’s will in the lands of the living, and you return to the death-sleep once more. The ancient culture that empowered you is gone, lost to the sands of time… yet you endure.

In Mummy: The Curse, a Storytelling game set in the World of Darkness, you play one of these beings. Those who know they exist, from the cultists who serve them to the dark forces arrayed against them, call them the Deathless.

We call them mummies.

What’s in it?

– The first new New World of Darkness™ game since 2009.
– Represents a step forward in the evolution of the Storytelling System.
– Book includes a player’s section, a Storyteller’s section, and a complete S.A.S. story—everything you need to get a chronicle up and running.
– Includes extensive information on the Deathless, from their half-remembered past to their beliefs and social conventions to their personal motivations and more.
– Scores of new examples of both game elements (powers, relics, Merits, etc.), and new concepts, from the fivefold system of Pillars to the all-important Descent.
– Opening fiction by award-winning author Greg Stolze.
– Stunning original art by Sam Araya, Cathy Wilkins, Aaron Acevedo, Andrew Trabbold, Borja Linares, Vince Locke, James Denton, Marco Mazzoni, Johan Lindroos, and Tyler Winham.

Mummy: the Curse is now available in PDF and Print editions at DriveThruRPG.com!

Progress Report #2: Comic, Violet War, and More!

Monica Valentinelli — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 19:30:48 +0000

February’s progress report kicked off this new series, so this month’s introduction talks a bit about a dry, boring subject: the internet. I do want to point out a couple of things in case you didn’t know already. First, be sure to check the front page of mlvwrites.com; I updated that with a few new books.

When I’m online or have chat open, I’m working. I can’t play games or socialize too much; if you see me on Twitter or Facebook it’s usually when I’m taking a quick break or have it on my phone. I wish I didn’t have to be on either network, but this is how I get my news and stay on top of what people are doing. Sometimes, though, I wish I could filter out the news, rants, and ridiculous negativity. It’s hard some days, because I’m a writer, and words resonate with me musically and literally. I suspect there’ll be a purge coming at some point, but regardless I have to use these networks wisely so I can keep creating. I guess that’s why I love my Tumblr account so much! It’s pure, unadulterated joy. Love, love, love logging in and seeing new art filter through every day. Yay!

Does this mean I work too hard? I do put in more than fifty hours a week when you factor in reading and research, but I also have a life and I would not be doing this much if I did not enjoy it immensely. I don’t mean to say that in a snarky way; I’m very intense (as others often point out) but that’s only because I try to make the best out of every possible moment. I don’t always succeed or I go into a mood, but the point is that I’m living. Doing. Writing. And very, very happy I can do this. It may not always be realistic, so I have to take advantage of the time I have now. Many pro writers aren’t making what you might on a salaried position. (GalleyCat has a great collection of three testimonials if you want to see some reports.)

Even when I’m not on a gig, though, I’m always working on something. I have to have a pen and paper and art materials close by or I’ll go crazy. I can tell when I haven’t been doing much of one thing or the other, because that’s when my mood really suffers. I guess you can call me the pragmatic writer? Holistic? Not sure… Either way, if you’re going to chase the rainbow, put your tennis shoes on first.

Without further adieu, here’s the updates!

Games

I announced that I’m the Brand Manager and one of the writers for the Firefly RPG line, which will be published via Margaret Weis Productions. I’m knee deep in outlines and scripts at the moment. More than that, I dare not say…

I’m wrapping up my work for the Mage 20th Anniversary Edition contribution and also working on a Vampire: the Masquerade supplement. Plus, there’s a few other things in the works that I’m not ready to announce just yet. My goal is to wind down work on other games so I can focus on the Firefly corebook and GenCon for this portion of my business over the summer.

Fiction…And COMICS!

I’m excited to say that my first comic will be published via Red Stylo Media! *throws confetti* “Last ~~Man~~ Zombie Standing” will be available in an anthology called Unfashioned Creatures, A Frankenstein Anthology late this Summer. If you want to check out some of this publisher’s comics, they do have some available at DriveThruComics.com.

I have also honed my new, original fiction projects down to two: a science fiction novella titled The Red Door and a massive project for the Violet War, which is the setting for The Queen of Crows. Remember, you can now get multiple versions of the original, full color edition from DriveThruFiction.com.

Consulting

John “The Muskrat” Kovalic went to the GAMA Trade Show this year and some new business initiatives that we’d been working on will spring from that. Ninth Level Games launched a Kobolds Ate My Baby Kickstarter that I’ve been behind-the-scenes on; that’ll end on April 3rd. The 50K mark combines Munchkin with Kobolds Ate My Baby!

Onyx Path is moving along; there’s a lot of questions right now, and Rich is taking the time to really think about what the company is doing and what he wants.

We’re focused on GenCon and a few, other foolish surprises…
