Powered using a d12-based system the game certainly sounds like it should be a lot of fun and well worth checking out.</p><p> </p><p>[hq] Everyone knows about goblins. They’re violent and stupid little green guys who with just enough brain cells to know what they’re doing and black enough hearts not to care. They live in fantastic worlds where wizards battle dragons, kingdoms rise and fall, and armies of swordsmen clash to save the world from evil. All the while, there’s always goblins looting corpses and stealing cabbages.</p><p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]90201[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p>When the higher races grew tired of the chaotic creatures so obnoxious that even the forces of evil didn’t want them around, they banded together to form a spell so powerful that it would reach across the entire realm. With what was essentially a magical, interdimensional eviction notice, every single goblin was hurled through time and space until they landed in what they would come to know as their new home. There were no humans or elves there, but those that had lived there before had left behind a strange world ravaged by war. The least cowardly of the goblins started to prod at the mysterious devices until they roared to life and the goblins cheered to realize their fate! </p><p> </p><p>This world had guns and cars, bazookas and robots! Things that exploded if you poked them enough! Exciting mutants and bombed out apartments that were MUCH cozier than any goblin hut. The goblins had a whole world of abandoned toys to discover, many of which could kill their fellow goblin from twenty paces away. The goblins ran wholeheartedly into their new world, wanting to be the first to discover the strangest mysteries, deadliest weapons and tastiest expired snack cakes of the world they would call Goblin House. The humans were gone from this place. The goblins would thrive in their ruins.</p><p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]90202[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p>The story of Gobblin’ is about entering a generic post-apocalypse after living in a generic fantasy world for countless generations (it’s only countless because goblins are terrible at history and counting). Goblins adapt surprisingly well to their new home. Their twisted anatomy helps them deal with radiation, spoiled food, and their natural disregard for common safety practices. Their sheer numbers allow them to last long enough to figure out what explodes and what shoots what out of where. It doesn’t take long for them to scatter around the globe, hunkering down in salvaged homes, restaurants and shopping malls and starting to call dibs on all they can find. </p><p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]90203[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p>Goblins don’t understand what happened to Earth in the slightest. Some have a passing curiosity, but they quickly forget about it when they find a power drill or something that glows in the dark. Goblins have their priorities straight, and that priority is greed. They want shiny valuables, sharp tools, tasty food, weapons of great and confusing power, and the means to lord over their fellow goblins. If they’re lucky, they can find something that gives them all of the above. After all, this high tech world generated a lot of strange things in a desperate arms race before their end. Dibis found a tool that fires beams of light to burn your foes! Kep tells stories of a magical armored vehicle that speaks to you when you approach. The shamans warn young goblins against going into the caves of Deepdown, since giant serpentine creatures slither in the dark protecting shiny and tasty treasures.Any goblin that looks long and hard enough will find something of interest, even if finding loot also means finding trouble.[/hq]</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/applied-vectors/frozen-skies-rpg-for-savage-worlds" target="_blank"><strong>Frozen Skies RPG for Savage Worlds by Ian Liddle</strong></a></p><p>(Campaign Ends : Wednesday 1[SUP]st[/SUP] November 2017; 16:00 UTC)</p><p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]90204[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><em>Frozen Skies</em> is an interesting “post war diesel-punk” setting of aviators and sky pirates that I first heard about a few years ago when Stephen Hughes, the author, contacted me for some advice.

It is a barely tamed land where the most basic of utilities are hard to come by and tend to lie on the good side of unreliable at best.

As the defenses were weakened the Wulvers gradually overran more and more territory, in the end the Alyeskans were forced to hide behind fortified walls and increasingly rely on air travel to maintain contact with far-flung outposts. </p><p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]90206[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p>Despite the Wulvers the other great powers of Darmonica have their own interest in Alyeska, chiefly for the ruins and artefacts of the <strong>Ancient Terrans</strong> buried beneath the ice and for a mineral by-product of the Blast known as <strong>Glimmer Rock</strong>. Until it was altered by the energies released in the explosion it was a previously unremarkable mineral, now it is the fuel for a new Industrial Revolution that the world finds itself on the cusp of....but only if the new technology can be made viable.[/hq]</p><p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]90207[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p>The book not only includes the setting, extra Savage Worlds Hindrances, Edges, two new races, an adventure generator, aircraft creation rules and more - but also several adventures, including a multi-part campaign called <em>Fool’s Errand</em>.</p><p></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: 18px"><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/playattentiongames/undead-a-sourcebook-for-chill-3rd-edition-horror-r" target="_blank"><strong>Undead – A Sourcebook for Chill 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] Edition horror RPG by Matthew McFarland</strong></a></span></p><p>(Campaign Ends : Wednesday 1[SUP]st[/SUP] November 2017; 02:00 UTC)</p><p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]90208[/ATTACH]</p><p></p><p><em>Undead</em> is the third sourcebook for <em>Chill 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] Edition</em>.

The least cowardly of the goblins started to prod at the mysterious devices until they roared to life and the goblins cheered to realize their fate! This world had guns and cars, bazookas and robots! Things that exploded if you poked them enough! Exciting mutants and bombed out apartments that were MUCH cozier than any goblin hut. The goblins had a whole world of abandoned toys to discover, many of which could kill their fellow goblin from twenty paces away. The goblins ran wholeheartedly into their new world, wanting to be the first to discover the strangest mysteries, deadliest weapons and tastiest expired snack cakes of the world they would call Goblin House. The humans were gone from this place. The goblins would thrive in their ruins. [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90202[/ATTACH][/CENTER] The story of Gobblin’ is about entering a generic post-apocalypse after living in a generic fantasy world for countless generations (it’s only countless because goblins are terrible at history and counting). Goblins adapt surprisingly well to their new home. Their twisted anatomy helps them deal with radiation, spoiled food, and their natural disregard for common safety practices. Their sheer numbers allow them to last long enough to figure out what explodes and what shoots what out of where. It doesn’t take long for them to scatter around the globe, hunkering down in salvaged homes, restaurants and shopping malls and starting to call dibs on all they can find. [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90203[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Goblins don’t understand what happened to Earth in the slightest. Some have a passing curiosity, but they quickly forget about it when they find a power drill or something that glows in the dark. Goblins have their priorities straight, and that priority is greed. They want shiny valuables, sharp tools, tasty food, weapons of great and confusing power, and the means to lord over their fellow goblins. If they’re lucky, they can find something that gives them all of the above. After all, this high tech world generated a lot of strange things in a desperate arms race before their end. Dibis found a tool that fires beams of light to burn your foes! Kep tells stories of a magical armored vehicle that speaks to you when you approach. The shamans warn young goblins against going into the caves of Deepdown, since giant serpentine creatures slither in the dark protecting shiny and tasty treasures.Any goblin that looks long and hard enough will find something of interest, even if finding loot also means finding trouble.[/hq] [URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/applied-vectors/frozen-skies-rpg-for-savage-worlds"][B]Frozen Skies RPG for Savage Worlds by Ian Liddle[/B][/URL] (Campaign Ends : Wednesday 1[SUP]st[/SUP] November 2017; 16:00 UTC) [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90204[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [I]Frozen Skies[/I] is an interesting “post war diesel-punk” setting of aviators and sky pirates that I first heard about a few years ago when Stephen Hughes, the author, contacted me for some advice. The 120-page book has been written and the campaign is primarily to raise money for artwork. [hq]The setting of Frozen Skies is the continent of [B]Alyeska[/B], the most northern landmass of the world of [B]Darmonica[/B] and is often referred to as either the ‘rooftop of the world’ or ‘Darmonica’s Crown’. It is an icy frontier plagued by savage beasts, cut-throat sky pirates, harsh weather and eons old dark secrets. It is a barely tamed land where the most basic of utilities are hard to come by and tend to lie on the good side of unreliable at best. But despite all this there are opportunities for a man to make a name and, more ideally, coin for himself. [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90205[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Alyeska itself is dominated by savage beasts known as [B]Wulvers[/B], wolf like creatures that’ve plagued Alyeska since its earliest Colonial days. [B]The Commonwealth[/B] had troops stationed in Alyeska to defend its fledging colony against the beasts, though they were steadily whittled away to satisfy the Commonwealth’s war efforts. As the defenses were weakened the Wulvers gradually overran more and more territory, in the end the Alyeskans were forced to hide behind fortified walls and increasingly rely on air travel to maintain contact with far-flung outposts. [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90206[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Despite the Wulvers the other great powers of Darmonica have their own interest in Alyeska, chiefly for the ruins and artefacts of the [B]Ancient Terrans[/B] buried beneath the ice and for a mineral by-product of the Blast known as [B]Glimmer Rock[/B]. Until it was altered by the energies released in the explosion it was a previously unremarkable mineral, now it is the fuel for a new Industrial Revolution that the world finds itself on the cusp of....but only if the new technology can be made viable.[/hq] [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90207[/ATTACH][/CENTER] The book not only includes the setting, extra Savage Worlds Hindrances, Edges, two new races, an adventure generator, aircraft creation rules and more - but also several adventures, including a multi-part campaign called [I]Fool’s Errand[/I]. [SIZE=5][URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/playattentiongames/undead-a-sourcebook-for-chill-3rd-edition-horror-r"][B]Undead – A Sourcebook for Chill 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] Edition horror RPG by Matthew McFarland[/B][/URL][/SIZE] (Campaign Ends : Wednesday 1[SUP]st[/SUP] November 2017; 02:00 UTC) [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90208[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [I]Undead[/I] is the third sourcebook for [I]Chill 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] Edition[/I]. This 120-page, full-color antagonist sourcebook, explores the creatures of the Unknown that animate the bodies of the dead. [hq] These creatures aren't the mindless, hungry, infectious zombies of cinema. They are the spurned and jilted lovers who come back from the grave seeking a mouldering kiss. They are the wronged dead, the unhallowed dead, murdered and shoved into shallow graves or buried without ceremony and longing for the respect they are due. They are the innocent dead, killed before their time and wanting only to taste the life they never really knew. [/hq] [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90209[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [hq]Like [B]Monsters[/B], our preceding release, it is partially written "in character" by a SAVE researcher attempting to categorize and understand the living dead, and partially written for players and Chill Masters to allow them make full use of this horrifying class of creatures. [B]Undead[/B] includes: · Further insight into the history and workings of SAVE (the Eternal Society of the Silver way, dedicated to investigating and combatting the Unknown) · 10 (or more!) new undead creatures, including the grotesque penangallen and the fearsome lich · An in-depth look at how different undead creatures come to be, including discussion of the role these beings occupy in different cultures [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90210[/ATTACH][/CENTER] · New pregenerated characters to be use as support or as PCs · A new campaign-length case written by Morgan A. McLaughlin McFarland, one of the contributors to all of the [B]Chill 3rd Ed[/B] line · A brand-new comic by Leonard O'Grady · New Edges & Drawbacks [/hq] [SIZE=5][URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1464564021/lovecrafts-the-dreamlands-christmas-cards-and-gift"][B]Lovecraft’s The Dreamlands Christmas Cards and Gift Paper by Studio WonderCabinet[/B][/URL][/SIZE] (Campaign Ends : Friday 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] November 2017; 03:00 UTC) [CENTER] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90211[/ATTACH][/CENTER] This is the third Kickstarter from Studio WonderCabinet creating Mythos themed Christmas cards. I’ve backed the last two campaigns and have been very happy with the cards. Needless to say, as soon as they launched this years selection, I joined in the festivities again. This years selection comes in the form of two packs of cards – each including four different designs plus the [I]Cats of Ulthar[/I] design in each – as well as Cthulhu Christmas Wrapping Paper for the first time. This years’ theme is the Dreamlands, with earlier sets [I]King in Yellow [/I]and [I]Cthulhu[/I] also available to backers. All the art is by illustrator Heather Hudson, who some may recognise from her [I]Magic: The Gathering[/I] and [I]Delta Green[/I] work. [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]90212[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90213[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90214[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]90215[/ATTACH][/CENTER] In addition to the cards and wrapping paper four Gift Tags are now being sent free to all physical backers, with electronic versions being including in the digital reward levels, courtesy of being unlock as a stretch goal.
