Blood and Relics!

[Vigilance]

Welcome to Blood and Relics for d20 Modern, the first in a series of supplements that brings gothic conspiracy in the modern world to life! This installment of Blood and Relics focuses on Europe, and the Blood War between the servants of light, the Sang Real, and those who serve Shadow, the butchering Caeder, a war fought since the dawn of the time, that continues unnoticed by the bulk of humanity, even to the halls of the Vatican itself, a war not only over lost artifacts of power, but over knowledge, and the soul itself.

Blood and Relics gives you everything you need to bring the Blood War to life: 6 new advanced classes with a dark mystical slant, a Timeline of the secret history of the world, 22 Feats of Profane and Sacred Ritual Magic, and lost Artifacts and Relics of Power pulled from religious and mythological sources.

Whether you chase the shadows or prowl the dark, crime-ridden underbelly of the modern world, your d20 Modern Campaign will never be the same.

Sounds very cool. Is this a product that will be for sale, or free? Hard copy or PDF or both? Publication dates/ETA? Need playtesters?

Vig...Three of the four links in your signature block didn't work when I tried them.

It will be for sale

Our plan is to do 3 50 page PDFs, then combine into one sourcebook for print. We hope this will give us more lead time to respond to customer feedback and get the editing just right.

To the person who informed me about my links, thanks! I'm lame what can I say?

These should work

 

[Mistwell]

Any idea when these PDFs will be published?
Need playtesters?

 

[Vigilance]

I appreciate the playtesting offer, but I already have three groups playing the game now, and the kinks have pretty much been worked out.

For the next installment maybe?

The author draft is done, so we're in the art/editing/layout phase of things right now. I *believe* the projected release date for the first PDF is April...

So not too long at any rate

Bit of Flavor Text

Thought I would further tease and intrigue with a bit of the flavor text from the game

Malcolm glanced up at the rear view mirror as the flash of lights let him know he was being pursued. Damn. I thought I’d lost them in that last switchback. A dirt road branched off into the dark forest that blanketed either side of the desolate country road, and without a second thought Malcolm hit the gas, banked hard, and took the road. As soon as he turned he killed the lights, driving by feel and instinct as much as by sight in the darkness. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched the girl sitting next to him shift uncomfortably. She was crying. Why those thugs were after her was beyond him, but Malcolm was damned if he was going to let some misguided cult sacrifice a nine-year old girl because of some religious delusion. “Don’t worry sweetie. They won’t catch us.”

The girl shook her head, raising her hands up so the lights from the car’s speedometer shone a sickly green on them. They were wet with blood. Malcolm checked the mirror briefly. No lights. He hit the breaks, and turned on the overhead map light. She was bleeding from her forehead as well. And her side.

The overpowering smell of roses filled the cabin of the car. Malcolm ignored the tight ball in the pit of his stomach as he handed the girl the first aid kit from the glove box and gunned the engine again. The lights behind him had returned. And Malcolm could only remember what that crazy old man had told him on that dusty side street in Cairo last month. A month that seemed an eternity. From the dawn of time they have walked among us, since Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise. Fighting a war of Blood. Seeing the red soak through the bandages the sniffling girl had wrapped around her hands, Malcolm thought he understood. Or that he was losing his mind.

The flavor text is great... and it's perfect to enhance what's in the book.
Keep up the good work, man.
