This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Coming soon!

Hope to see some of you at Chattacon.  We'll be in the "American" train car and will have all of our books for sale as well as running three games over the weekend from the 21 Plots series.

Pictured here is Sean "Shade" Marlette. He is a former professional gambler and street criminal turned high-class assassin. Most of his current work is performed for the O'Malley Crime Family on Chance (Cascadia 0405).

Marlette is a determined adversary and has a reputation for always eliminating his target. If your characters have run afoul of his employers, then you can rest assured that they are in grave danger.

Marlette is one of 21 antagonists presented in 21 Villains, our newest product, which will be available on February 13.

Just a quick reminder that, in two weeks, I will be a guest at MystiCon in Roanoke, Virginia!  I'll be running three Traveller games set in our Clement Sector setting, participating in an "advanced gamemastering" panel and I'll be on the "celebrity panel" for their version of Match Game.

So if you're in the Roanoke area, come out and say hello!  I've been doing this convention for several years now and it has never failed to be a great time.

You can find out more about MystiCon at this link.

And here we have The Sisters of Mercy.  Ellatraci and Eratina Milcragh are identical twins from Minerva (Franklin 0401).  

Local system navies and merchants have come to call them the 'Sisters of Mercy' after one particular incident in which they dressed as nuns from Franklin and stole an Atlas-class freighter. In that incident, all the crew and passengers were released unharmed with blessings from the twins on behalf of the (Reformed) Catholic Church of Franklin, and told to donate half of their remaining money to the orphanages or face the wrath of the Sisters of Mercy.

The Sisters are among the 21 antagonists presented in our newest product, 21 Villains.  21 Villains will be available tomorrow (Feb 13).

A few quick bits of news to share with everyone.

First, I will be appearing as a guest at MystiCon in Roanoke, Virginia this weekend.  I'll be running two games from our 21 Plots:Misbehave and one game taken from 21 Plots: Samaritan.  If you're in the area, stop by and join a game!

Second, our Franklin Update Project is nearing the end.  Should have some solid information to share on this next week.

Lastly, keep in mind that our Birthday Sale continues until Monday morning.  After that, we will be part of DTRPG/RPGNow's "GM's Day Sale", which will run during the following week.

You can find our products here.  Note that neither of these sales will include print items. Only the PDF products are part of the sale.

Much as we did previously with Subsector Sourcebook 1: Cascadia, we have revisited Subsector Sourcebook 2: Franklin.  Inside, we have corrected several mistakes, updated some of the artwork (particularly the world maps) and cleaned up some of the formatting issues.

If you have already purchased SS2: Franklin as a PDF, you should be able to get the newest version as a free download from your update page.  

If you haven't purchased this book yet, now is the ideal time! Not only is the updated version now available but it is also going to be part of the GMs Day Sale (30% off!) which is scheduled to begin on March 3.

A print version of this update should be available shortly.

You can visit Drive-Thru RPG at this link to pick up your copy.

Much to the chagrin of her uplifted simian friend, Melissa zips away from the parked starship on her RetroWheels grav cycle. Designed and sold by the Cascadian based American Dreams Gravcycle Company, the RetroWheels wraps mid-twentieth century styling over an efficient modern grav cycle.

Available in a variety of period two tone pastel color styling choices, the RetroWheels has found a market throughout Clement Sector, but is far more popular with younger grav cycle users on Cascadia (Cascadia 0705) and Boone (Sequoyah 0305).

The RetroWheels is one of the vehicles featured in Gypsy Knights Games' upcoming 21 Vehicles which will be available on March 13!

And here we have the AMV/G Combat Car.  An older infantry fighting vehicle still being produced by several companies on Cascadia (Cascadia 0705) and sold throughout Clement Sector, the Combat Car can lay down heavy fire in both a defensive and offensive role. Long superseded by more modern designs, it is still a very capable vehicle well suited for many planetary defense forces unable to afford newer designs.

The Combat Car can carry eight fully equipped Troops that deploy from a rear opening hatch. Once any troops have disembarked, the combat car is free to freely engage enemy forces or provide covering fire.

The AMV/G Combat Car is just one of the featured vehicles in Gypsy Knights Games' 21 Vehicles.  21 Vehicles will be available in PDF form on March 13.

And here we have the ubiquitous utility van.  An everyday workhorse found almost everywhere within the settled worlds of Clement Sector, the utility van is a basic and reliable vehicle used for a multitude of tasks from delivering mail packages to grocery transport.  Rear opening doors and sliding doors on each side provide for easy access to the rear cargo area of the van.

The utility van is just one of the vehicles detailed in 21 Vehicles, our newest product, which will be available as a PDF on March 13.

And here we have the AufzugPanzer Selbstfahrlafette APz.Sfl.VI Ausf C Langen Arm self-propelled rail gun.  

The APz.Sfl.VI Ausf C Langen Arm (Long Arm) is the primary self-propelled artillery used by the ground forces of the Hub Federation.  

The Langen Arm mounts a massive fully stabilized 180mm mass driver within a large turret allowing full three hundred and sixty degree movement. The advanced fire control system allows rapid firing of five rounds at differing elevations starting at high elevations then reaching a lower elevation. This ensures that the five rounds, traveling at differing trajectories, arrive on target simultaneously up to eighty kilometers away. By the time the launched rounds arrive on target, the Langen Arm can already be on the move to a new firing position.

The Langen Arm is just one of the vehicles featured in Gypsy Knights Games' newest product 21 Vehicles.  21 Vehicles will be available tomorrow (March 13)  in PDF!

I am pleased to announce that I have been invited to be The Gaming Guest of Honor at Mysticon 2016.  This is a great convention and I'm proud to be a part of their guest lineup.  If you are anywhere near Roanoke, Virginia in February of next year I highly recommend that you attend.

We will be there running games and participating in panels.  So if you can make it out to the convention, we'd love to see you there!  Though I must warn you to plan ahead as the convention typically sells out during pre-registration.

You can learn more about Mysticon at this link:  http://mysticon-va.com/
