Everything you asked for: Cheaper and Pre-Cut. Spell Effects raised to the next level. We're re-designing our current Spell Effects into a "generic" 3-page set of spells. Here's the logic: With traditional die-cutting we need to make a custom die for every page. But once we've taken the leap and made the dies, we open new doors - we can nest some shapes inside each other, allowing us to save space, and get even more Spell Shapes into fewer pages. The space savings have allowed us to design a single 3-page layout that covers every shape and size needed for Tabletop Roleplaying. Better, cheaper, AND pre-cut.... It's a Win-Win for everyone.

[B][I]Rocket Age[/I][/B] is a radium punk sci-fi game of exploring the Solar System, fighting Nazis, Stalinists, aliens, and the bizarre environments of nine planets (yes nine, it is 1938 and Pluto is still a full-fledged planet). It is a game of ancient ruins on Mars, the steaming jungles of Venus, strange life in the clouds of Jupiter, RAY guns, chromed rocket ships, radium fuel, hot exhaust, and fins. So many fins on things you didn't know you could put fins on. The setting is a kitchen sink sandbox for you to set your games in. Want to be the brave explorer discovering lost civilizations and new wonders? We have that on Venus, Mars, Jupiter, the Jovian Moons, and more. Looking for a daring game of brinksmanship as you battle agents of foreign powers (even alien nations)? Choose whom you want to fight and who you want to fight for, such as the Americans, British, French, Nazis, Soviets, Martian princes, or the enigmatic Europans. The [B][I]Rocket Age[/I][/B]first launched in 2013 using the [B][I]Vortex[/I][/B] system (we call that version [B][I]Rocket Age Classic[/I][/B]) and won an [B][I]ENnie[/I][/B] in 2014."[/HQ] [I]If you like what we do here at EN World (the Forums, Columns, News, ENnies, etc) and would like to help support us to bring you MORE please consider supporting our [/I][URL="https://www.patreon.com/enworld"][I]Patreon[/I][/URL][I].
