Today, we weep for the passing of the man who taught us how to "live long, and prosper." Today's Pick, in particular, is in honor of the immortal Mister Nimoy.
Firefly: Smuggler’s Guide to the Rim (Cortex)
Fans of the new Firefly game (or just Firefly/Serenity in general) will find this gem well worth adding to their collection. The Smuggler’s Guide to the Rim includes –
Eagle Eyes (FATE)
For players and GMs alike, a new “World of Adventure” for FATE from Evil Hat.
Experience Roman noir firsthand in Eagle Eyes, the latest Fate World of Adventure from Pete Woodworth. Battle cynicism, corruption and murder in the shadow of the Coliseum. Play Eagles, the Senate’s private investigators, and use every means at your disposal to get at the truth behind everything from “ordinary” murders and robberies to high treason, noble intrigue, military coup attempts, and perhaps even the strange and terrible excesses of the Emperors.
Life is cheap and the dust of Rome soaks up a lot of blood, but the rewards for those that survive are beyond the dreams of lesser men.
Eagle Eyes requires Fate Accelerated or Fate Core to play. This 43-page supplement contains:
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Community Card Creator
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a huge thing. Not only for current Pathfinder Adventure Card Game enthusiasts, but for anyone who digs the concept of user-created content being facilitated and validated in the most powerful way possible. I’ll let the real brains behind this, Steve Wieck, explain in better detail (excerpted from his blog post) –
Over a year ago, I posted about the coming revolution in card games (and board games) based upon the ability to print any content on any single card. I laid out some possible ways that OneBookShelf, through our DriveThruCards.com, site hoped to aid that revolution. One of those ways was by empowering a game’s community to create content for their favorite game.
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Community Card Creator
Today we release the first iteration of our community card creator. We’ve partnered with Paizo Publishing to give Pathfinder Adventure Card Game (PACG) fans the ability to create, print, and share their own cards for PACG.
Seriously, friends, not only is a big deal for fans of PACG, but for a lot of other game fans as the future unfolds.
Battle of Manhattan (Shadowrun)
All that hardware, internal and carried. All that training, all those mad skills, incredible vehicles, and powerful magics – sometimes you just really, really want to unleash them, right!?!
Time to visit the city that’s (not) nice, they named it twice – New York, New York. The Battle of Manhattan is about to rock this town, rock it inside out…
Come to Manhattan because the corporations are spoiling for a fight. Most of the time, we’re good at keeping our spats clean and civilized. We lie, we cheat, we steal, but we do not engage in anything as vulgar as open street fighting. Sometimes, though, we can’t help ourselves. Sometimes, the tension gets to be too much, and it breaks, and it bursts into the open.
That time is coming.
Bring your skills, bring your wits, and definitely bring your guns. You’ll need everything you got. We are anxious to take advantage of what you have.
Come to Manhattan. We’re waiting for you.
Prime Directive (d20 Modern)
I believe this is a fitting pick today. A celebration of a fallen friend, boldly going into that great undiscovered country. A benefit to one of our own, who lost a loved one far too soon.
Make it so.
This is the Jonathan Thompson benefit edition of the Prime Directive PD20M Core Rulebook. The only thing different is that it is selling for half price and all of the profits go to help Jonathan whose fiancée passed away unexpectedly. As he wrote “My heart is broken, and I am having to deal with that along with handling the funeral expenses and seeing to her last wishes. Something like this you can never really plan for or expect.” This is ADB’s way of helping.
Roleplaying on the Final Frontier using the d20 Modern rules!
The universe you love comes to the game system you already know! Brilliantly compiled by Jonathan M. Thompson, Prime Directive PD20 Modern allows you to take the heroic role of a starship captain, a commando, a diplomat, a spy, or a trader flying a shuttle of tribbles from planet to planet.
~~~
There you have it, friends - a rather eclectic mix, with something for everyone. I'm particularly excited about the Pathfinder custom cards project, and would love to see something like this take off for this game, and many others.
Off to run my own Friday Shaintar campaign - The Adventure Continues!

Firefly: Smuggler’s Guide to the Rim (Cortex)
Fans of the new Firefly game (or just Firefly/Serenity in general) will find this gem well worth adding to their collection. The Smuggler’s Guide to the Rim includes –
- Circling the Wagons: Written by Greg Stolze. Folk in the Core think they can put a leash on damn near everyone else in the ’Verse, and one of their leashes is named Special Independent Investigator Garth Mandrake. But a leash matters less to them what love power than who’s holdin’ it. Mandrake’s found himself caught between two political cliques within the Alliance. Their tiff strands him on an uncharted rock facetiously known as Barry’s Kingdom, with each side hiring a ship—the Crew and their greatest rivals—to pick him up and get him under their control. The Crews got to deal with double-dealing, rampaging wrecks and the namesake of the planetoid to get the SII in hand while he’s still breathing. And that’s before the Reavers show up.
- Expanded Appendix: We’ve included a brand new FAQ, Chinese translations, more Distinctions, maps for the Kalidasa and Blue Sun Systems, and a set of brand new tools for players and GMs—an Advancement Sheet that includes Reputation die ratings and a GMC Sheet to take the guesswork out of building GMCs, too!

- A twist on Fate Accelerated approaches that allows characters to invoke Roman deities
- GM advice on dealing with characters of different social classes and group dynamics
- System constructs for conspiracies and mysteries in Fate
- Adventure seeds to get you started gaming
