First Post
This week will see the release of two new books from Mongoose Publishing appearing in your local stores - The Quintessential Wizard, and Apocalypse-Z.
The Quintessential Wizard
One of the best selling series from D20 is back – better than ever, fully re-written and updated for 4th edition. Designed by Italian studio Asterion Press, the all new Quintessential range begins explosively with the Quintessential Wizard. Each Quintessential book is a complete toolkit for players, dedicated to a single character class or race.
Raw magic power: the essence of all true fantasy role-playing games. In a world where magic permeates all aspects of daily life, a wizard is the undisputed lord of arcane lore. If you think that a wizard’s only way to express his true might is by casting a mundane fireball, take a look at THE QUINTESSENTIAL WIZARD and think again! In this book you will find a brand-new origins system, over 70 new powers, new rituals, 14 paragon paths, new feats, four new arcane implements, and many magic items specifically designed for arcane casters, including runes. Your wizard will be truly unique and will be able to choose from a wide range of options. This book also features guidelines to play your wizard in combat and non-combat situations, organisations that may help or hinder your efforts, and new rules to build your perfect mansion, a magical tower to keep all your treasures and secrets.
Apocalypse-Z
The future is a dark one as the dead have risen to feast upon the living. Cities have been shattered, neighbourhoods torn apart, and humanity is hanging on by a thread. Massive hordes of zombies gather under the control of Overlords, zombies that have retained some of their memories and intellect, and have gained powerful psychic abilities driven by their hatred of man. Pockets of civilisation exist around the globe; centered around dynamic heroes whose leadership and prowess in battle spur the populace to fight back and even rebuild.
Apocalypse-Z is a supplement for Battlefield Evolution and allows you to play tabletop battles ranging from small skirmishes to outright wars between zombies and the remnants of mankind. Inside you will find:
* stories describing the outbreak of the zombie plagues and humanities struggle for survival against a seemingly implacable enemy,
* new Advanced rules for this ravaged world,
* new Traits that capture the feel of zombies and their hunger for the living,
* 2 detailed army lists; The Zombie Hordes and The Enclave, a human force in the Northeastern Unites States,
* a modeling and terrain guide,
* 5 scenarios in which to test your combat abilities,
* several “Short Attention Span” guides to make playing Apocalypse-Z easy.
