Older than the race of men, the scorpionmen have haunted the wide valley and steep hills for millennia. Countless times they have risen to power and fallen into slavery. Once again they are on the ascent, for a new power has arisen, one whose will has united the divided tribes under his banner. Once again, the shadow of the scorpion has fallen across the central desert.

Few outsiders explore the realm, for the treacherous nature of Chactinax has tainted the land. Within the blasted hills, the bond of friendship is weakened by treacherous thoughts and deeds, and those who enter has friends may emerge as bitter enemies.

* Legends concerning the origin of the feared scorpionmen.
* Rumored powers of the dread Scorpion King.
* An overview of the hazards facing explorers.

[MTE] Ultimate Characters Guide
Author: Aaron T. Huss
Pages: 82
Price: €4,34 (DriveThruRPG/RPGNow)

Role-playing games have two major components: characters and the storyline those characters interact with. In the ‘world’ of Savage Worlds, the storyline is typically defined by the campaign setting or plot point campaign run by the GM. Characters, however, are typically defined by the creativity of the player in the form of a character concept and background. The player then uses the Savage Worlds core rulebook, Companion books, and setting guides to translate that character concept and background into in-game mechanics. Pretty simple… but what do you do when you can't quite translate that character concept and background into the proper in-game mechanics?

Ultimate Characters Guide was designed to address that issue, and go quite a bit further. Why stop at player characters when a GM may have the same issue? Thus, Ultimate Characters Guide addresses PCs and NPCs (beasts, creatures, villains, humanoids, aliens, etc.) through a series of new options, new ideas, and new implementations of the same Savage Worlds mechanics. There's no need to create all new mechanics, just find a different way to use the current ones to great effect.

Ultimate Characters Guide includes:

* Creating racial/background templates using a collection of physical, mental, and environmental aspects for all types of characters.
* New universal Hindrances and Edges to add to the core rulebook, usable within any setting.
* Two new types of skill uses: Supporting Skills and Complementary Skills. These new skill uses increase the possibilities for Group Rolls and the use of Knowledge bases.
* A collection of Knowledge bases to choose from and how they can be applied to games using Supporting Skills and Complementary Skills.
* A collection of Monstrous Abilities and how they translate to in-game use.
* Ways to make encounters interesting and memorable through combat balance that doesn't require increasing Toughness.

[TAG] Necropolis 2350: Rumors from the Front

For reasons unknown, the Lazarites suddenly demanded I expand on their activities with a mini-supplement. More to come once I’ve written a bit more on what they’re up to.

Students at East Texas University have a few more challenges than other students–balancing parties, studies, and saving the world!

They say ETU is a great place to earn a quality education without the big city distractions and dangers. This is the 21st century and no one wants to admit they’ve helplessly watched a classmate get sucked into the pages of a library book, come face-to-face with an angry ghost, or glimpsed a creature prowling the campus by the light of the full moon.

College is where you make your own choices and find out who you really are. You can keep your head down, hoping to avoid the twisted horrors you sometimes catch out of the corner of your eye, or you can face your fears, fight the darkness, and protect your campus. Everyone starts out as a wide-eyed freshman, but if you survive four years at ETU you’ll be a hero.

[Pinnacle] ETU/Degrees of Horror Kickstarter

Pack your bags, folks, because it’s time to head off to college in lovely Pinebox, Texas! East Texas University is definitely a place where you can find your place in the world—sharing a dorm room with someone who died from a cursed towel in the locker room.

The eagerly-awaited college horror setting and Plot-Point Campaign born of 12 to Midnight’s Pinebox, Texas comes to life as a full-fledged Pinnacle product through the new ETU/Degrees of Horror Kickstarter campaign. East Texas University is the main setting book with everything players and GMs alike need to start telling their own ETU stories. Degrees of Horror brings you a full Plot Point Campaign with booster Savage Tales to take your cohort through a full four years college, presuming you (literally) survive being a freshman.

But just as with college, the books aren’t the whole story of the Kickstarter. There’s the GM’s screen, custom miniatures, several sets of figure flats, custom dice, and a bonanza of digital stretch goals and add-ons! Be sure to check out the ETU/Degrees of Horror Kickstarter campaign for the full details and reserve a spot today.

Speaking of stretch goals, don’t forget that the college experience is also about making new friends (sometimes literally, in the basement of the biology building), and the ETU/Degrees of Horror Kickstarter is no different. All of our stretch goals are based on backers, not on cash. The bigger the crew you bring to campus, the bigger the campus is for your crew!

What are you waiting for? Take a gander at the ETU/Degrees of Horror Kickstarter and put your eyes on the ETU campus. Be careful, though, because campus may have its eye on you…

Anmerkung: War schon wenige Stunden nach Start 3x überfinanziert. Die PDFs/Bücher samt der interessanteren Extrax kommen eh ab Spätsommer raus und sind nicht wesentlich teurer. Abgesehen davon müssen sie mit ETU zeigen, daß WW: Rome nur ein Ausrutscher war.
