Upcoming: The Occult-Tech Armory

Well, the next project I plan to release is a mid-length (75-150 pgs) magic item sourcebook building off of the content introduced in Technology Unleashed. I'm tentatively titling this sourcebook Techno-Magic Unleashed: Occult-Tech Armory. I'll be using the Techno-Magic Unleashed branding for future spell & magic item sourcebooks for my various campaign worlds, including a Heavy Future and more Otherverse America content.

Today I thought I'd preview a set of magic items all designed around a common theme, which you'll be seeing in Occult-Tech Armory. I plan to include riffs on some of the most famous gadgets & weapons in sci-fi. For instance, last night, I included a version of the mind-wiping wand from Men In Black, as well as an explosive face mask  that you'd find familiar after watching (the original) Total Recall and a pretty sweet magic blaster inspired by the 'weapon' from Portal. So I've been having a lot of fun stating out cool movie, comic and game homages- in the comments recommend me some favorite gear and gadgets to play with, I might have forgotten to do something cool.

Every item in this weapon and armor set has the "Street Judge" prefix, and is inspired by... you can probably guess from the page image. I'll show you some more new content soon. (And please ignore the wierd formatting: every time I post a preview from a Word document onto this blog, the thing comes out looking like that.)

Enjoy,
CHRIS
