(NOW FM 037) Cold Space RPG
RELEASE: March, 2006
SRP: $26.99
PUBLISHER: Better Mousetrap Games
AUTHOR: clash bowley, Albert Bailey
PAGES: 183
COPIES SOLD: Nearly 100
AVG RATING: (4.4)
CATEGORY: SCI-FI
Cold Space covers the years 1949 to 1989, after swiss scientists discovered a faster than light drive and antigravity using obscure physics principles. The Soviets quickly stole the idea, and the race for the stars was on! The ships they flew in were crude, rough, and apt to fall apart if not tended constantly, but they worked! The Cold War has moved into space, where the Americans, Soviets, and the rest of the nations of the world move in a political miasma of espionage, proxy wars, revolution, deceit, and betrayal. Currently doing banner advertising on multiple high traffic RPG sites...

Finally, the thrill of the chase comes to your D20 campaign! Hot Pursuit: The Definitive D20 Guide to Chases gives Gamemasters the ability to add exciting chase scenes to ANY d20 game--Fantasy, Modern, Future or Past. Hot Pursuit lets you experience the thrill of the thunder of horse's hooves, the rattle of wagon wheels, the pealing screech of tires, or the scream of jet engines as your player-characters enact chase scenes to rival those found on the big screen. In Hot Pursuit, chases are given the same focus given to combat, rather than just cursory coverage. Rules are given for the affects of the environment upon the chase, maneuvers (including passenger maneuvers, so that nobody is left out of the excitement), obstacles, mounts, vehicles and more. Written for both the core d20 rules and Modern d20, Hot Pursuit: The Definitive D20 Guide to Chases is everything you'll ever need to run chase sequences in your games, regardless of time period or setting.
