However, I've been doing a little bit of work. Rather than doing a second volume of Enchantments of Black Tokyo, I decided to put out a revised, combined edition that will run around 300 pages. I'm going to include the revised file in the downloads of the first edition for readers who got the book through www.rpgnow.com. That way, if you've bought EBT's first edition, you get the revised version free.
I started laying out this book last night, and I've got about 90% of the art I want and need for the book. I'm debating whether to wait till this coming payday and add a little additional art, or put it out as is. I think I'll likely decide against additional delay, and have the book out.
Over on the right is the new cover, illustrated by Anthony Cournoyer, depicting two of the enchanted powered armor available in the setting. The blue suit is the Torture Ballerina Hardsuit, and the crimson suit is called the Oni-Blood Hardsuit, and was deliberately designed as a magic-tech homage to Priss' hardsuit in the Bubblegum Crisis anime.
Anyway, expect the revised Enchantments of Black Tokyo within a week or two, Skyrim be damned. The sell text and introduction are below:
This revised and dramatically
expanded edition of The Enchantments of Black Tokyo is a complete and
definitive guide to spells and sorcery in the strangest campaign setting ever
imagined. Hundreds of new spells offer darkly thematic new ero-horror new
weaons to traditional spellcasters or unparalleled flexibility to the
point-based Modern Spellcasters. From
spells that force lethal orgasms to spells that transform the caster into a
horrific spider demon, these unique new spells blend traditional Japanese myth
with hentai horror.
The real meat – the blood and
guts of the sourcebook – is the exhaustive collection of magic items. Black
Tokyo is a very high magic modern fantasy/horror campaign, where magic
is common place, found on every darkened corner. Some of these items previously
appeared in various Black Tokyo sourcebook including this sourcebook’s first
editions, and are collected here to build the ultimate toy box for your
campaign. Others are all new, never before seen, ranging from enchanted school
uniforms to mystically empowered laptops and game consoles or a diverse array
of weapons and sorcerous armors. A myriad of new powered armors, dangerous
artifacts and occult-tech oddities have been added to the setting. Consumable
wondrous items and enchanted sex toys join the roster of more traditional magic
items and special gear.
This book’s subtitle is
“Schoolgirls, Sex Toys and Powered Armor”, which should give you an idea of
what you’re in for. Enchantments of Black Tokyo takes some of the most
stereotypical elements of anime as an artform, melds them into a cohesive whole
and presents them as part of an dark, eroticized horror setting. At nearly
double the wordcount of it’s first edition, the revised and expanded edition of
Enchantments
of Black Tokyo is pregnant with new magic, ready to birth new
wonders and horrors into your Black Tokyo
campaign.
