General Update

The relocation to Florida has been consuming an awful lot of time. Development and layout have been slow, but there are projects in the works. February marks the last of this relocation and things will begin to get back to normal.

Mercenary Breed

With the release of the last individual book, the full Hastilion Expanse book is now in layout. This large book will be available as a single PDF containing all 4 campaign modules, full-color hardcover, and black-and-white softcover.

Licensed Campaigns

Writing continues on Five Points (Dark Streets). For mechanics, all writing is done. The Adventures chapter is about 80% done. This final chapter will contain 8 adventure frames that provide a background and guidance for an adventure, giving the players the ability to resolve it as desired and the GM to incorporate it into her campaign as desired. After that, I’ll put together a narrative introduction and throw it off for editing.

I have a pair of guest editors for this book, namely Peter Cakebread and Ken Walton themselves.

Ultimate Guides

Ultimate Celts Guide (Savage Worlds) is available. The printed edition is also now available. This one features five original pieces from Andrew to create that Celtic appeal. The next book, Ultimate Conspiracies Guide, will start layout in February or March. I’m plan on keeping these books to no more than one per quarter. Hopefully I can get more lined up for 2016 as I currently have three authors working on new Ultimate Guides books.

Entropic Gaming System

The revised Entropic Gaming System core rulebook available. This full color PDF follows the new layout that was first featured in Entropic Guides: Warfare, a layout that I really like and will be using going forward. Both print versions are also available, including the full-color hardcover.

Third Party Publishers

No updates here, but keep on the look-out for new 3PP EGS products.

Shadowed Earth

Judgment Day: Quick Start Guide development is wrapping up soon. This version will feature all the Victorian mechanics, a Victorian introductory adventure, and 6 Victorian pregenerated characters. It will be available as Pay-What-You-Want in PDF and print-on-demand. It will be available in both EGS and Savage Worlds versions.

Development on Cryptozoology #02: Otherworldly Beings has gone through the planning stage. I have my list of the 15 entries that will go into the book. Unlike the first book, this one will be formatted in the same way as the Bestiarum Vocabulum where each entry gets a two-page spread instead of a one-page spread. This allows me to provide better information for incorporating the adversary into a game. The reduction in entries keeps the price point to $2.95.

Don’t forget to visit the Shadowed Earth Online content and the Encyclopedia Chaotica:

Ancient World

The PDFs and PODs for the Ancient World core setting guide EGS and Savage Worlds are now available. Bestiarum Vocabulum EGS and Savage Worlds are also available in PDF and POD.

There’s a good chance that an Ancient World: Quick Start Guide will be developed and released as Pay-What-You-Want in both PDF and POD. These are a great way of introducing settings to potential customers. I’ll probably pull together a nice bundle of EGS Quick Start Guides as a type of Try Before You Buy package. Something fun that would make a great gift!

Mythos

No new developments on Mythos right now. However, there’s a good chance that in 2016, the Savage Worlds version will be revised to match the formatting and layout of the EGS version. I will also be incorporating any errata and cleaning it up here and there.

Mythos line developer Gilbert Gallo has teamed-up with Fabled Environments to produce Olympus, Inc. This continuation of the Mythos timeline throws the Greek mythology into the near future with a slight cyberpunk appeal.

Broken Ruler Games

Check-out our various announcements and updates regarding the ongoing ScreenPlay playtest. You can also follow the link on the homepage to send us a message if you’re interested in participating. Visit brokenrulergames.net for more information. The version 1.4 playtest packet has been uploaded and is currently planned to be the last playtest packet. Get in on the ground level while you can!

Roleplayers Chronicle

All Shadowrun 5th Edition books have been added to the database. I’ve also started working on dividing up some of the games that have a lot of books from multiple editions (such as Ars Magica). This makes navigation a bit easier.
