Beyond Red Crater Adventure TME-2 Just Released!

Art Gallery

Six years ago your comrades from the town of Rust Watch were attacked on the edge of an ancient blast hole. Your militia patrol arrived back at camp too late and came upon a scene of devastation. You discovered that while a dozen of your people were taken captive, most were slain by the skullocks of the Bloodpath Clan. Your leader, Three Fisted Sammy, was found dying. The mutant tore up a blood stained map and gave you each a piece, along with careful instructions; return in six years, join the map together, and seek vengeance, glory and mighty relics waiting to be recovered in an ancient facility; a dome beyond Red Crater.
 
In this fast paced multi-path adventure, player characters reunite to fulfill an old request from a much loved militia officer. Their journey takes them passed a cursed crater, through ruins and ravines, over a river and across a salt flat to the foot of a concrete edifice. Therein, ancient technology and terrible beasts resist their advance as they uncover remarkable ancient treasures, twisted schemes, and nameless perils within the mysterious dome.
        Designed for 6 to 10 first rank characters, this module isn’t setting specific and can either be dropped into a game master’s own campaign region or take place in the Crossroads Region by substituting Rust Watch for the fortified town of Pitford.

From the Publisher
This newsletter is long overdue.
Thing is, I get dozens of these myself from all sorts of sites, organizations and individuals and simply don't have time to read them all. Given this, I don't want to send out notifications if we don't have something substantial to report.
      Of course an all new book is big news. Beyond Red Crater took weeks longer to release than anticipated on account of the author-illustrator getting the flu one week then a nasty cold the next. Even so, we were long overdue for a release because we had spent all of September and October on art for The Crossroads Region book. Of course, with BRC out the door, we will be back at work on the 400 page gazetteer starting tomorrow morning.
 
Presently, our release schedule looks something like this:

  The Crossroads Region
 
  Mutant Beastiary One
 
  Plantoids: Mutant Plant Characters

I’m not sure what I am looking at here. Is this a demo for a potential film or something larger in the works? Whatever it is, Steamboat’s ‘Plug’ looks awesome and I’d like to see a lot more from these folks.

Can Lego builders be artists? You bet’chea. Check out these post apocalyptic scenes made entirely from Lego! http://www.brothers-brick.com/2012/12/21/14-of-the-best-post-apocalyptic-lego-models-of-all-time/

 
Sightings
 
So, we’ve just requested membership in postapoc.net and added their sidebars and banners to a few key places on our website. If you love this PA genre, then you got to check out this extensive site and get involved.
        Postapoc.net covers a wide range of aftermath scenarios and takes on this dark, yet fascinating possible world path. Here you’ll find zombies, PA settings that involve magic, as well as gonzo mutant action as seen in The Mutant Epoch, but so too, at the other end of the spectrum you'll find  survivalist and prepper content of very practical life sustaining value. In short, this website covers the out there entertainment science fantasy aspect of the genre, as well as the equally bleak and perhaps more frightening real life situations that could occur due to plague, economic collapse, comet strike, solar storm, nuclear war, or God forbid any other number of nightmares that could occur.

In closing, to all of you who have been asking about our next book, thank you for your patience. You shouldn't have to wait too long for The Crossroads Gazetteer, although we can't to give a firm date yet, we are aiming for late March or early April.
        We will also be adding new free critter and relic downloads to the Society of Excavators member’s area in the coming weeks, and will let you know with another newsletter as soon as the PDFs are up.
 
Thanks everybody for your support,
