We are pleased to announce that In Her Majesty's Name Gothic is now available on pre-order from the gentlemen at North Star, http://northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=9018
(https://theministryofgentlemanlywarfare.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/cover-front-300dpi.jpg?w=640)
This is the third supplement for the game and has been produced by The Ministry of Gentlemanly Warfare, authors of IHMN, Daishō and Blood Eagle.
Within these pages, you shall find new weapons and equipment, talents and powers, and creatures both normal and supernatural. As well as a host of new companies to fight or, bring on, the darkness that threatens to engulf the Old World.
You will meet old enemies such as Vlad Tepes, Prince of Wallachia, and his nemesis Abraham van Helsing. Play the brave men of the Imperial Nightwatch as they test their modern might against the terrifying vampire minions of the immortal Countess Bathory. Rouse the Village mob to drive out Baron Viktor von Frankenstein and his abominations. Tread the corridors of power as a member of the Illuminati or, join the Gypsies to hunt Werewolves under the full moon. Witness Sampson Caine and the Nuns of the Order of the Bringer of Salvation defend the innocent from the predations of the Dread Monks of Sucevita. Unleash the Unborn upon the terrible White Slavers. You can also upgrade and test your existing IHMN companies against these many terrors.
New scenarios and landscapes will take your companies into dark forests, mist shrouded castles, ancient ruins, pagan altars and grim, fortified villages the length and breadth of Transylvania, Wallachia and the ever-forbidding Carpathian Mountains.
This is classic Victorian Gothic Horror at its grisly, horripilating best. It is not recommended for ladies and gentlemen of a nervous disposition, for the darkness will feed upon their terror.
It is expected that the book will be ready to despatch by North Star in early March.

And this news just in:
To celebrate the long-awaited release of IHMN Gothic, North Star have put the original IHMN range on sale, and re-released the much sought-after five special figures for sale until the book is with them.
So you have two weeks to get them folks!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! :-*
I personally don't play IHMN (use our own house rules), but it's always very, very nice to see a GREAT game like this one being kept alive and kicking, CONGRATULATIONS! :D
What about putting a thread about it on the Gothic Horror Board?
BTW: GOTH2 - Tart with a Hart is PRICELESS! My last Victorian game was about a Gentleman's Club helping a group of working girls to defend a bordello little red light house of ill repute from a vicious Tong gang! lol

I commented on TWW but good luck!

Sources for preorder in the USA?
Edit:
"Looked at North Star but 5£ shipping on 12£ item is not going to attract me – will wait to see it locally and see if it woos me enough to buy it."

Great GREAT news! At last!
And it's good to see there will be new companies and new stuff, in adittion to what we read in the blog the last two years.
Only one question: what about the pictures? If I remember, there was a contest to send images of our Gothic companies to illustrate the book. Any winners?

Unfortunately we received a lot less pictures than we did for Blood Eagle last year. The pictures we did use were from our stalwart display team's work, photographed by my daughter Rhiannon, and the estimable Kev Dallimore. There are additional illustrations by the magnificent cartographer Sven Lugar.

Now to figure how to transfer some of these to the jungles of Tarzan, Sheena, and Jane Badall...

Ladies, Gentlemen and, you at the back, yes you...
IHMN Gothic is no longer on pre-order from North Star because the books have arrived, Huzzah!
So, if you wish to obtain a nice shiny copy of this much anticipated tome you can now order it from https://northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=9019
-
Do I perceive that the Cognoscenti and Le Cabinet Noir have succeeded in destroying the Teutonic Knights?
They appear to have been ex-communicated from Gothic!
Already started on the Bringers of Salvation, having converted a suitable figure for Sampson Caine and some stave wielding nuns. Should have enough converted Dread Monks for Sucevita soon and Tesla's crew is about to be finished alongside Miss Beaufort Summers Scooby gang (with the newly arrived Angelus of course).

Shame the size of the book is larger than the other ones though, makes it look like it's not part of the series. I kow it's a minor thing to be bothered by, but I'm like that. ;)

Yes, but you get 40% more content as a result for the same price, and colour piccies :)

But... but the spines don't match up!! lol

Think I will use some elements of Gothic in a VSF IHMN game at Die Con.
The Bad Jack scenario with Gothic elements as the "Complications" for the game. Maximum of 4 players. Hopefully it will be fun.
Edit: Did I mention it also involves Tarzan?

As it should, fine chap Greystoke! :D

As it involves Gothic I'll ask here.
Flying costs 7 points on page 14, but 5 points on page 40 for vampires. Correct?

I am just going to go down to the Quality Dept. and kick some ass...
Rats, I just remembered that I am the Quality Dept. :(
Flying should be 7 points across the board, no discounts for ancient bloodsuckers I am afraid.
Well spotted that man!

Just got the BGG mods to allow a new entry for Gothic. I'm still awaiting one of them to approve the main cover pic to then use as the official product image. If I have any of the basic details wrong, do please contact them to suggest any corrections (e.g., I had North Star as the 'publisher' but is that wrong?)
Now needs a few folks to click that they own it, and to give it some star ratings and comments, and then hopefully post up more additions (pix, comments, reviews, etc.)
