Headed up Dirk Vandereyken, and with a host of industry names such as Steven Long, Michael Surbrook and Darren Watts, writing it the game has an all star cast. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK] [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]87295[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [hq]In 2012, [I]Iron Sky[/I] took the world by storm. The 7.5 million dollar film was catapulted into instant cult status by the fans, who had funded more than 10% of the project, and its quirky storyline, tongue-in-the-cheek humor and great special effects made sure it reaped in 4 major awards and 2 more major nominations at leading film festivals. The [I]Iron Sky[/I] team didn’t stop there, though: it released its own comic and board game and expanded its universe. As we are writing this press release, the 18 million dollar sequel, [I]Iron Sky: The Coming Race[/I] is in the final stages of post-production, while spin-off [I]Iron Sky: The Ark[/I] is already being worked on. On top of that, a TV series uncovering the conspiracies that led to Nazis being on the moon in the first place may be added to the [I]Iron Sky[/I] setting as well, making sure there is a lot of room for future RPG supplements and adventures. In the original film, we found about a secret Nazi community that was established on the dark side of the Moon during the closing moments of World War II. With a new generation being readied to ‘bring peace’ to Earth, Führer Wolfgang Kortzsleisch (played by the German cult actor Udo Kier), is preparing the huge space fortress Götterdämmerung to lead the way in establishing a new Third Reich.

In [I]The Coming Race[/I], the [I]Iron Sky Universe [/I]will be hugely expanded. Set 20 years after the events depicted in the original film, the former moonbase has become mankind’s last refuge.

[B]The [I]Synthesis[/I] Rules System[/B] [I]Iron Sky: The Roleplaying Game [/I]will use a brand-new universal rules system specifically written for[I] Iron Sky.[/I] The system is geared towards recapturing the feel of the film, but contains all of the building blocks and elements necessary to be adapted to any setting or genre.

Both are included in the[I] Iron Sky Roleplaying Game[/I] and are fully compatible with each other, as the Advanced game simply elaborates on the Basic rules. There’s no need to convert Advanced characters for a Basic game session and Basic characters can easily be inserted into Advanced sessions as well. [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]87297[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [B][I]Three Methods of Character Generation[/I][/B] The [I]Iron Sky Roleplaying Game[/I] offers 3 ways to create a character: · [I]Point Pool Distribution:[/I] the standard way for distributing points for the Basic game can also be used for the Advanced game and simply involves distributing a number of points amongst the Traits, Skills, Perks, Powers and Advantages available in the game. · [I]Life Path Generation:[/I] adapted to the[I] Iron Sky[/I] setting and adaptable to any setting, Characters can be taken through different stages in their life, each offering points to distribute amongst Trait, Skills, Perks, Powers and Advantages according to what happened during those periods in time. · Board Game Life Path Generation: Uniquely,[I] Iron Sky [/I]also offers character generation through a custom-made RPG board game.
