Will your heroes find what they need in the  town of Pitford or will they just be another corpse bleached in the sun  right outside its walls? Pitford  is a new supplement for the Mutant Epoch game system which covers this  town in fine detail. Everything is covered from top to bottom as  chapters illustrate the defenses, shops , streets and even basement of  this massive steel town. Some of the businesses are quite unique as they  stray from the normal weapon shops (which there are a few). But there  are also places to rest, places to eat (complete with what’s on the  menu) and places to relax (ranging from brothels to a casino). There  are also some unique businesses offering services such as robotics (and  a table to generate unique robots), a parcel service (and a glimpse of  the world beyond Pitford’s walls) and even a guide service (where  characters can hire a guide to go on expeditions into the wastes).  Each  of these shops is depicted in great detail as to what the character is  selling, their personality and what they might have in value stashed  behind the counter. There is even a fighting pit in Pitford that allows  the characters to try their hand at being a gladiator and there are a  few combatants they will be engaging. From just normal folks to mutants  and beasts there is no shortage of opponents for the arena. The  basement is where few people dare to tread but where some of the  inhabitants of Pitford make a living. There is a constant feeling of  being on edge as there are detachments of watchmen guarding areas. From  places such as the deep hole to an oily pool that seems to go on forever  there are plenty of places to keep the PC’s on their toes. Pitford  may be an armored town but it is not without it’s fortifications to  withstand attacks from mutants and creatures. Covered in detail is the  town’s defenses which range from simple weaponry (such as catapults and  trebuchets) to modern and relic weapons (such as laser cannons, machine  guns and even a howitzer!). Spread  throughout the book are tables that can be used for everything  including encounters in the night if the PC’s stay at an establishment  to encounter tables in and around the town of Pitford. This definitely  brings a unique and interesting element as you could run a campaign  based in this town. And there are also some adventure hooks which range  from the town being under siege to a beast in the basement.  Needless to  say that these are only some of the ideas that you could come up with  to add spice to your campaign. There  are some problems with this book but they are very minor as there is no  price for the compound crossbow on page 33 for honest al’s relic  emporium. Also there is a hint not to kill off a character named Fox  Blender because he takes part in an adventure called Blood Road. But  this adventure isn’t in the book nor is there any hint of it on the  website. I guess it is a product that will be coming out soon? The art  in this supplement is lavish sporting a full painted cover as well as  some great interior illustrations. There are also some maps at the back  of the book to give the GM and players some depth of just how big  Pitford really is. Pitford  gateway to the ruins is available now from outland arts as well as  other sites like drive thru rpg. The PDF version will run you around  $10.99 and the printed version is $24.99 and both are very reasonable  for the amount of content and information that you get in this book. All  I can say is if you are looking to run a Mutant Epoch campaign you will  need this book as it not holds a wealth of information about the town  of Pitford but some insight to the surrounding areas as well. For more  information on Pitford and other Mutant Epoch products go to <a href="http://www.outlandarts.com/mutantepoch.htm" target="_blank">http://www.outlandarts.com/mutantepoch.htm</a> and get ready to explore the town of Pitford. </blockquote>
