Pirates! Killer Robots! And the Far Reaches of Space!

[Operator5]

2006 is over and we’re already in high gear for 2007. We released three titles in the previous 12 months; two for .45 Adventure: Crimefighting Action in the Pulp Era and our new game Gloire: Swashbuckling Adventure in the Age of Kings. And we’re not going to slow down in 2007 with four titles on the schedule.

For .45 Adventure
In March we release The Gargoyle: Death Soldiers of the Jade Hood. This title will introduce some new archetypes and new skills, but it will mainly focus on campaign and character advancement rules. It will include the fictional city of New Commerce where players can set their campaigns with some handy background material.

We'll be releasing at least two new packs of miniatures with this. One will be our Citizens of New Commerce pack for which we have shown the greens (grays). The second will be Allies of the Gargoyle. The Jade Hood has managed to get some minions with Bud and Lou, now the Gargoyle gets his help in the form of Bridget Rourke, Ace Reporter and Mo, ex-heavyweight boxer.

In July we'll be releasing Super Science Tales: Terror of the Metal Menace---Finally we get into more super science creations with things like killer robots and weird inventions. We should have at least one new pack of miniatures to release with this.



For Gloire
June will see the release of Under the Black Flag. Pirates! You knew they were coming. Pete Murray's been hard at work on this, coming up with plenty of new naval archetypes as well as some close ship action.

The end of the year MAY see a second title released for Gloire. That is still a little up in the air as work has not begun work on it yet.

NEW STUFF!
We've dropped lots of rumors, but you're hearing it officially now. November will see the release of Fantastic Worlds: Pulp Action in the Far Reaches of Space. This will be the third game system and have a distinctive Science Fiction flair. Marc Anderson is currently writing the rules for this. You'll now be able to run all the Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, or John Carter games you want. There will be rules for Aliens, Ray Guns, and all kinds of great new archetypes.



Expect some new figures to be released with this game as well.

After the release of Super Science Tales, I'll also begin work for an early 2008 release of Broadsword Adventures: Savage Tales of Fantasy. Forget all those Tolkien clone games, we get back to some serious Conan-style excitement!

Well, that's all for this year. I should have plenty of new things to share in the coming weeks. Thanks to everyone who has helped make 2006 great and I hope we can continue to bring you all kinds of pulp excitement in 2007.

[Phil Robinson]

Great news for the new year and beyond, brightens up a dull and wet day here in middle England.

Wishing the continued success in 2007 you so deserve.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

wow, the covers are absolutely fantastic, Rich!!! I'm really looking forward to get my hands on

But Conan 2008?!?  :cry: can't wait...

[Howard Whitehouse]

Rich, you continue to amaze me with your productivity and your single-mindedness (at least compared with my own devotion to at least 15 projects - unrelated and often incomplete - at once!). :mrgreen:

In particular I look forward to your space adventure rules: I know far too little about Pulp sci-fi.

But - aha! - I do intend on getting my own 'Astounding Tales!' - derived sword and sorcery system, "Chainmail Bikini" done this year, and thus steal a march on you for the massive market of mighty thew'd barbarians out there. Take that, Mr Scheduled Releases!!!  ::

Meanwhile we must meet soon at our usual greasy diner in Joisey and eat in the true style of Spade and Marlowe -- H

I will concede that you MAY beat me out with your title, but I have two words that may trump yours...

...Box Set!  

We'll see what happens come the end of the year.  :mrgreen:

And the greasy spoon sounds like a good plan. You pick the date, I'll supply the flivver.

[Howard Whitehouse]

You have boxes?

Damn. We have no boxes ---

[Prof.Witchheimer]

...Box Set!  

?!? Figurs inside? Please no plastic  ::

[Operator5]

?!? Figurs inside? Please no plastic  ::

Professor: Of course no plastic. Blech!  

I'll share details much later in the year, but the plan is for metal figures.

[Argonor]

I can only say two things:

1) I'm absolutlely thrilled!!!!!!
2) My poor wallet

I really, really look forward to both the .45 expansions and the chainmail underwear (my wife still refuses to wear anything made of chainmail and tiny rabbit furs...)

NOW: Back to the painting table!!!!

You should put that in your signature... considering how often you have to say it!

Dinosaurs would be a natural for .45 Adventures or for Fantastic Worlds.

i.e. 'Prehistoric Planet'
