Hi guys,
I think it is about time that we let you know what is going on here at Sector Control!
The Judge Dredd RPG hardback is currently at the printers and, we are reliably informed, will be with us sometime next week. The release date is mid-June, though those in the UK may well see a few advance copies floating around in their local game stores. You never know. . .
Two other releases will also come along at the same time as the main rulebook. First, is the extremely Limited Edition metal-bound version of the rulebook. There are only 200 copies of these, so they will be disappearing fast! Each weighs nearly 3 Kgs (perfect for keeping unruly players - or Games Masters - in line!) and will cost $100, plus shipping. We will be taking orders via post (with cheques) and PayPal (credit cards) at the end of this month, so if you are after a copy, please send me a private mail to reserve it before we announce it on our web site!
The second release is The Rookie's Guide to the Justice Department, also off to the printers this week. Using colour throughout, this 64 page supplement is packed (and I mean packed - we had trouble fitting it all in!) with useful information for Games Masters and judge characters alike. We have new rules for bloodlines (fancy playing a clone of Fargo or Solomon?), new specialist judges (including Acc-Div, the Pursuit Squad, Sector Chiefs and the infamous Holocaust Squad) and new weapons, equipment and vehicles, from the humble Mk I Lawgiver to the the mighty Mechanismo robots and K2001 Land Raider! On top of that, The Rookie's Guide to the Justice Department also features a complete Sector House in which to base your campaigns.
The Mongoose is not content with that however, not by a long shot. The new 2000AD RPG web site is imminent, I am told, and will have all manner of news and goodies on our new lines. The first scenario for the Judge Dredd roleplaying game has just been completed - Full Eagle Day tracks the progress of a team of rookie judges as they try to graduate to full street judges. Under the stern gaze of Judge Dredd himself, no less (we may take bets on how many rookies actually survive Dredd's supervision. . . ).
Full Eagle Day is due for release in July, along with The Rookie's Guide to Block Wars (containing _everything_ you need to run your own protest march, rumble, riot or block war) and the Games Master's Screen, which also contains the 24 page booklet Mega-City One's Most Wanted. The latter is a complete listing of the stats and history of the most famous characters to have graced the comic strip, from the Angel Gang and Chopper, through DeMarco & Perkins, to Judges Dredd, Anderson and Hershey. We are also including the Martial Artist citizen prestige class (for a certain Stan Lee) and I have heard rumours of a Sov-Block Agent prestige class, though I have yet to work out who that is for. . .
Our aim, of course, is to make sure that this is the best supported RPG on the market outside of D&D itself, guaranteeing that 2000AD fans will have more than enough information to make their games the most exciting yet.
After all this Judge Dredd gaming, I was hoping to find a quiet life. However, there are dark rumblings coming from the office of Ian Sturrock, one of Mongoose's game developers. Low moans, baleful sobbing and the odd loud cry of 'Kiss My Axe!'
No idea what that is all about, but no doubt we shall find out soon. . .
