Basically, this began as a chapter in the nascent Psi-Watch world book, but I realized that it had a strong enough singular focus I could release it as a standalone city guide. As I was writing this city, I realized it was basically the bastard child of <i>Zootopia </i>and <i>American History X </i>- it's a city where the cute, furry cops suck just as bad as cops in the real world do, and racial hatred is running hot.<br />

First up, there's Anthro versions of Kurt Cobain and Courtney love living here, instead of Seattle, because they were, like many others, mutated by the event that created Psi-Watch's Anthro species in the early 70s. </span></span></span></div>

is the first in a series of short and mid-length sourcebooks detailing a particular
piece of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Psi-Watch Campaign Setting</i></b>. Cat’s Cradle represents one of the
major points of divergence between the Psi-Watch version of Earth and our
reality – it is an alternate vision of the urban American Mid-West, populated
by a diverse array of Anthro denizens. Cat’s Cradle is a furry metropolis that
used to be Omaha, Nebraska, in an alternate 1993 desperately in need of
heroes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

introduced in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fursona Unleashed, </i></b>in particular detailing a variety of
worshippers, both good and evil, for many of the various Anthro deities
introduced in that book. This sourcebook takes the character creation ideas in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fursona Unleashed</i> and makes them
concrete: grounds Anthro adventurers in a distorted, but recognizable version
of modern America. Many of the plot hooks and threats introduced in this book
make use of various monsters described in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Secret Soldiers</i></b>, giving gamemasters
a good idea of how to use the diverse array of comic-inspired threats therein. Finally,
some concepts introduced in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Action Features</i></b> and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cosmic

out of Saturn’s moon, Ganymede, and bathed the Western Hemisphere in supernal
radiance. When the light receded, roughly three percent of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">homo sapiens</i> in the Americas, chosen seemingly at random, were no
longer quite human. After long minutes of painful spasms and unnaturally rapid
cellular mutation, the transformed rose on shaky legs as Anthros – furred,
animalistic hybrids of man and beast. The survivors of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">White Dawn </i></b>picked up
their lives as best they could, waiting for a staunchly anti-Mutant Congress to
restore their full civil rights. Even when the legalities were settled, in late
’72, the newborn Anthro race faced the discrimination and fear that had nearly
driven the Mutant subset of humanity into extinction. </span></div>

North America that offered a welcoming climate for those with fur and fangs. Gutted
by the race riots of a decade prior, Omaha offered cheap land, cheaper rent and
a desperation for civic resurrection. Over the next few years, Anthros from
around the globe migrated into Omaha to rent apartments, buy homes, start
businesses and live their lives with a level of equality offered by few other
American cities. Their presence revitalized the city and its economy, as a host
of Anthro-specialized businesses were born. In 1978, Omaha officially changed
its name to Cat’s Cradle, Nebraska, celebrating its proud Anthro-majority
populace (which was more than 60% felinoid). </span></div>

new sound of the 1990s, a rough-edged and highly personal evolution of rock and
roll. Anthro guitarists howl their hearts out, dressed in ragged flannels,
their manes long and untamed. Growl is sung in a patois of English and Fursong,
elongated, slurred vowels becoming echoing cries of rage and passion. Growl was
born in Cat’s Cradle, which means that the Nebraska metropolis is on the
bleeding edge of style for once. </span></div>

Feather.</i></b> Stallion Cobain (NG male Anthro Bard 9) is the poster-horse
for Anthro pride who uses his celebrity not only to champion Anthro causes, but
also to improve the lot of Mutants. Despite his resolute public persona,
Stallion suffers from a deep and often poorly concealed self-loathing. If he
could give up the pelt, he would in an instant; when he dreams, he dreams of
the skinny blond boy he was born as, rather than the black horse he evolved
into. Some days, he wants to die rather than live another hour as Anthro. On
others, the better days, he fights for the rights and future of his species. </span></div>

revels in the power and sensuality of her lithe, spotted body and has no
conscious memory of her human childhood. As much as she loves Stallion, she
hates the part of him that wants to be human. Their once-close relationship has

the owner’s Anthro pride and the species’ deep love of word play. Some places

been owned and operated by its namesake, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">John Lee “Paleo” Sweet</i></b> (N male
Anthro Bard 9) ever since. With a phenotype resembling a scaly pit viper with
azure-mint scales as cool as the jazz his club specializes in, Paleo Sweet is
considered one of the most stylish, old-school Anthros in the city. His age is
nearly impossible to guess: he was in his late fifties when he was transformed
by the White Dawn, and now, his reptilian body has given him back the vigor of
youth combined with the wisdom of experience. </span></div>

attract too much attention from the younger generation of Growl fans, but
playing there is a status symbol for local musicians. Paleo has allowed both
Cobains to perform unplugged sets at the Terrarium, to sold out crowds. The
Terrarium is a dim, smoky place of burnished oak and frosted glass, and true to
the name, the place is kept far hotter and more humid than most mammals can
tolerate. The Terrarium is a staple of the Cradle’s revitalized downtown. </span></div>

Anthro Sorcerer 10) took the space over, it was a closed-down comedy club. Dani
leads an all-Anthro troupe of nude and semi-nude dancers, choosing performers
with the most distinct and colorful phenotypes she can find. Her stage shows
are dazzlingly acrobatic, often incorporating airborne routines from her avian
staff, and openly carnal. There’s never actual sex on stage, but most audience

Rave culture is just beginning to make its presence felt

presence of the Raver herself, a young Anthro goddess has come to the city.
Several abandoned fields and warehouses, relics of the city’s rail heritage,
lying just beyond the fashionable Old North district, have become impromptu
venues for weekend events. The best organized raves pay off the cops – most
just hope nobody calls them in or they don’t feel like racking up some easy
drug busts. </div>

resists GSGT Palmer’s recruitment efforts, the Marines under his command are
not above using their influence to cancel college scholarships, end careers

frighteningly lethal. Since the 1970s, the department has gone from nearly pure
Irish to furred. Feline Anthros hold the majority of command positions, and for
black cops on the street, the situation is worse than it was during the

good shoot. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite his icy dispassion

(CE male Anthro Rogue 8/Magus 2) supervises the Cradle’s special operations
forces – aircraft officers and SWAT. Commander O’Rourke’s callsign is based on
his phenotype. He is a muscular, ebon-furred jaguar, in contrast to his mouse
parents. The city’s nobility studiously ignores his parentage, though he can’t.
He’s met his real father twice now, and much prefers the dark-furred warrior to
the ambitious rodent he cuckolded. Jag O’Rourke is a brutal warmonger – at his
insistence, the Cradle’s air ops division has purchased a pair of Apache attack
copters to supplement their Bell Rangers, and are in negotiations to purchase a
single <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cloudfire Mecha</i></b> for Jag’s exclusive combat use. Jag’s SWAT
teams see far more action than a city of the Cradle’s size would suggest, and
massive overkill is their first, second, and third response to any crisis. </span></div>

more than one hundred brutality complaints to his name. The fact that Malley is
Jag O’Rourke’s biological father is immediately evident from the color of their
pelts and their identical hunting cat phenotypes. Malley despises humans,
especially poor ones, and is a Anthro hardliner who wishes he could put the
baseline <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sapiens </i>in the cages their
genetic inferiority deserves. Malley is too much of a frothing specieist to be
useful to Major O’Rourke’s land schemes, and wouldn’t be invited in anyway

respected by <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sapiens </i>and Anthro
civilians alike. Belker is a pugnacious 5’ 2” with a rat terrier phenotype.
Every inch of his salt and pepper pelt is marred by scars – Belker is a natural
brawler, more likely to bring down a suspect with his jaws than by pulling his
9mm. The chain of command hates Belker because he doesn’t buy into their
bullshit, but he’s too good a cop to fire without cause, and too popular with
the community to murder outright. So, they stuck him in a bad foot post and
hope some drug dealer eventually solves their problem for them. </span></div>

The Lifer Player's Guide, entitled Weapons for Life just went up. I also put up a shorter pay-what-you-want PDF riffing pretty strongly on an old comic called Camelot 3000.<br />
<br />
From the sales text on both:<br />
<br />
<b><u>Weapons For Life</u></b><br />
Weapons For Life is a follow-up to Culture of Choice, detailing everything you need to create Lifer characters for the Otherverse America Campaign Setting. Weapons of Life is a ground-up rebuilding of the Lifer Nation, detailing their unique and often blood-soaked talents and feats, making this unique, military sci-fi setting fully compatible with the PFRPG.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOKssY0vZomk8pvOknb2B2s6Pyaq-WbMcNi8IzzJy_9Ym6uzkRQsSzKee6Bc507b6Tcu1V6i9ZXVwbzuZ7MUT4T4ZzHE5vQpWnyT_IGfTrNcc3y7S3lbw5Epico66c7o9BE0mgQRCBnNR9/s1600/Reincarnated+Knights+RPGNOW+Sized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="618" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOKssY0vZomk8pvOknb2B2s6Pyaq-WbMcNi8IzzJy_9Ym6uzkRQsSzKee6Bc507b6Tcu1V6i9ZXVwbzuZ7MUT4T4ZzHE5vQpWnyT_IGfTrNcc3y7S3lbw5Epico66c7o9BE0mgQRCBnNR9/s320/Reincarnated+Knights+RPGNOW+Sized.jpg" width="247" /></a>Included are full racial descriptions for the five most common non-human species found among the Lifer Army of God: the genetically engineered child soldiers called CFL Kids, the predatory, cyberhunting Nanofeasters, the disturbing undead Neverborn, the engimatic and manipulative Temporal Angels and the space-adapted Wrench. Each of these new races is compatible with Dreamscarred Press' Ultimate Psionics.<br />
<br />
After the races are described, you'll discover a host of Lifer-specific templates that allow you to build exactly the character you envision, whether as a protaganist or a villian. Dozens of new feats and talents offer futher customizaton, while grounding your character firmly in the hatred that defines the AOG.<br />
<br />
The final section of the sourcebook describes the most unique ‘weapons for life’ in the service of the Lifer Army of God. Here you’ll find spectacular and thematic Lifer spells like In This Sign, Conquer, which manifests an enormous, skyscraper sized cross to terrify and demoralize your enemies. You’ll also find lethal magic weapons, like the Skullpopper SMG or the bizarre but effective Teething Ring. All these spells and items assume that ‘magic’ is a relatively new phenomenon, explained away by the 22nd Century science of Object Philosophies.<br />
<br />
<b>Content Warning</b><br />
This sourcebook details a fictional version of real world anti-aborton terrorist groups like Operation Rescue and the Army of God. Since Weapons for Life is the Lifer Nation's player's guide, it describes things from their point of view, meaning that many of the powers and character options are pretty nasty. The author does not share their views, condone their hatred or encourage anyone to do the same. Because of the subject, even though the book has no explict sexual content, I've tagged it with the 'adults only' filter.<br />
<br />
<b>The Reincarnated Knights of the Round Table</b><br />
As with many of my sourcebooks, this one started with a chance purchase in a used book store: a nice, recolored, hardback anniversary edition of Camelot 3000 (DC Comics). Re-reading this classic graphic novel gave me an idea for a short book that takes some of the mechanics I’ve created for use in my campaign worlds: especially the Reincarnate feat, and other feats designed for Culture of Choice and craft a player race as fun as the science-fantasy adventure of Camelot 3000. This book makes an interesting companion to the recently released Weapons of Old, since many of those magic items are drawn from the same tales that inspired this PDF.<br />
<br />
Reincarnated Knights are designed as a flavorful counterpart to Culture of Choice’s Pagan Born. Like the Pagan Born, Reincarnated Knights are skillful and somewhat otherworldly adventurers, with the Knights distinguishing themselves with a penchant for heavy armor and a chivalrous devotion to the heroic myth of Christianity. This PDF includes details on Reincarnated Knights, as well as a new Cavalier order: The Order of the Grail, inspired by Arthurian lore and literature.<br />
<br />
Since this is a rough, somewhat unfocused title I put out on a whim between larger projects, it's pay what you want. If you like what you see, let me know in the comments and I might expand this into a full release with additional options and a mini-campaign.<br />
<br />
Take a look, and let me know your opinions on both.<br />Furries coming later in the week,<br />

Growing up, <i>Iron Man</i> was far and away my favorite comic book, and <i>Bubblegum Crisis</i> was and still is my favorite old school anime. One of the best parts of <i>Rifts </i>were all the cool robots and mechs you could pilot, especially the awe-inspiring Glitterboy and the SAMAS. And back in the day, I spent plenty of time marking off little damage and heat tick-boxes in <i>Battletech</i>.<br />
<br />
So when I started producing my own content, I figured there'd be a place for mecha and powered armor in them. I mentioned yesterday that I'd commissioned some new Anthony Cournoyer artwork for the Weapons for Life sourcebook. I've always liked the way Anthony draws tech, so I've gone out of my way to get robot and armor images from him specifically. Well, today at lunch he sent me very rough pencils for his rendition of two Lifer powered armors.<br />
<br />
The big boy (and I love his sheer bulk and the ridiculous number of guns Anthony equipped him with) is the Judgment Hardsuit. It's a walking tank designed to be the centerpeice of a Lifer squad. The smaller armor is the "Baby Judgment", a post-war miniaturization of the earlier suit designed to fill an infantry, rather than armor, role. Anyway, even at the rough pencil stage, the big guy looks like he'd be a good fight for something like a Glitterboy or a Space Marine Dreadnaught. And once again, I really, really wish I had the capacity to make toys (or at least minis) out of some of the designs my art team turns in.<br />
<br />
(Furries next time. I was just so excited about the new armor image I wanted to show it off.)<br />

I've put out several large, complex, art-heavy sourcebooks, as opposed to smaller 10-20 pagers. I just wanted to let my readers know I'm still alive, still producing content and still working on various Otherverse Games releases.<br />

<div>
What's on deck?<br />
<br />
<i><b>Fantasy Magic Items (Unnamed) </b></i></div>
<div>
The first book you'll likely see is a simple magic item book for a generic Fantasy Europe setting released for the <i>Pathfinder Roleplaying Game</i>. I'll have that book out first because I can illustrate it purely with stock art and public domain images. It's just a fun little side project I've been puttering away at, an item or three at a time, as I wind down from other books. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><b>The Black Atlas </b></i></div>
<div>
The manuscript, all 300 pages of it, is complete, and I'm still gathering commissioned artwork for this beast of a campaign guide. I'd sent a reader a copy of the rough draft the other day, and if any of you want one, please send me an email and I'll send you a preview document. I'm hoping I can get this book out by the end of the year. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><b>Horrors of the Lifechain (POD?) </b></i><br />
If I can, I'd like to combine the two Horrors of the Lifechain sourcebooks with a ton of new content and release it as a full color POD title. I really enjoyed working on Secret Soldiers, by last big bestiary, and I want to do a similarly meaty, comprehensive space opera/cosmic horror bestiary. I've already commissioned some new artwork from Anthony Cournoyer and others for this book, and I'll preview some of it here soon. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><b>Weapons for Life (Lifer Player's Guide) </b></i></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAgiqwIIm4FIdlCPHZcfJvd-Na1wKsIRZMLm1PLWRSDAZ8oa4cvcHdSHHRD82IcN0iFO1T4Uqyu_SMMZqkQEVwAEtCIS03jVQiJ-pWLz2GYClGehbm_eMTxai75Z8w3zw3JoomNz5IWvH/s1600/1_-_Jesus_Blones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1037" data-original-width="1600" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAgiqwIIm4FIdlCPHZcfJvd-Na1wKsIRZMLm1PLWRSDAZ8oa4cvcHdSHHRD82IcN0iFO1T4Uqyu_SMMZqkQEVwAEtCIS03jVQiJ-pWLz2GYClGehbm_eMTxai75Z8w3zw3JoomNz5IWvH/s320/1_-_Jesus_Blones.jpg" width="320" /></a>A few years back, I produced Culture of Choice, a player guide for Otherverse America's Choicer faction, and this is the matching book for the rival faction. I'd been hesitant to release the book, and set on a working draft for nearly 2 years, because I didn't want to glorify, even in an obviously fictional context, the pro-life movement. However, I finally realized that I owed it to the <u>setting</u> to release the book. I'm making good use of existing art and some well chosen stock and waiting for 3-4 new pieces of art to come in. In addition to the final version of the Amanda Webb artwork that became this post's header image, I'm having Anthony do some character images, including what should be a pretty kickass image of Lifer powered armor in action. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the things that finally broke me out of my indecision and compelled me to put out <i>Weapons for Life </i>was I saw a really good piece of stock art and immediately saw a use for it. The second image on this post, by Jesus Blones, comes from one of Louis Porter's Image Portfolios. I've made a lot of use of that line of stock art, and once I saw the toothy bastard up there, I realized I had a perfect racial image for the <i>Nanofeasters</i>. There were a couple of other images in that pack I'll be using for <i>Neverborn. </i>Since Louis is a friend (and it's a really good stock pack) I thought I'd plug it here. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Next: City of Fur</i></b></div>
<div>
Tomorrow, I'll post something else I've been working on. As I was writing up the Psi-Watch world book, I started detailing the city of Cat's Cradle, a dramatically fictionalized version of Omaha, NE that's home to the majority of Psi-Watch's Anthro population. Ten thousand words in, I realized I had a fun, stand alone citybook. I'll start posting it here, so fans of my <i><span style="color: red;">Fursona Unleashed</span></i> sourcebook have a new city to explore. I hope to gather up some art and release a PDF version of the Cat's Cradle city-book before the end of the year. </div>

Good to see you again, </div>

Update time! <br />I just put <b><span style="background-color: red;">Shades and Spandex </span></b>up for sale. It's a very fun magic and psionic item sourcebook for the <i>Psi-Watch Campaign Setting</i>. From the book's sell text:<br />

and psionic items sourcebooks for the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Psi-Watch Campaign Setting. </i></b>Within,
you’ll find dozens of new magic and psionic items inspired by the comics and
animation of the early 1990s, all designed to enrich your campaign. Included
are lethal new guns for psionic super-soldiers, armor ranging from inch thick
reactive plate built up over a hydraulic exo-skeleton to ultra-light and
seductive spandex, highly specialized katana and the custom-modified, black
leather trenchcoats to conceal them in. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Next up, a quick look at an upcoming book. A few days back I purchased <i>Sandy Peterson's Cthullu Mythos for Pathfinder </i>from www.rpgnow.com. It's a fucking awesome sourcebook, and at over 500 pages, it's a really ambitious one. It's also a book ideally suited for PDF format, even though I'd love to get a hardcopy sooner or later. I got to thinking about my <i><span style="color: red;">Horrors of the Lifechain </span></i>series.... collecting everything done to date, adding a ton of new content and aiming for a deep space and cosmic bestiary even bigger and more ambitous than last year's <span style="color: red;"><i>Secret</i></span> <span style="color: red;"><i>Soldiers</i></span>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Anyway, the five Anthony Cournoyer thumbnails at right are the first new creatures specifically commissioned for this book. The top row includes a creatures called a Pallintid Knight (the shark woman), Kyklos Gemeson (the robo-giraffe), and the Quinniuq (the floating totem pole thing). The Quinniuq are going to be my Quintession analouges, and they're a really fun breed of bad guy. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The bottom row includes the Zammax Giant (at left) and the Omni-Consumptos (evil Tony the Tiger, at right). I've imagined the Omni-Consumptos as a new type of Great Old One, a psychic parasite that takes its form from a victim-planet's pop culture and advertising. Basically, he's a dark sci-fi riff on the StayPuft Marshmellow Man from Ghostbusters; one of his racial abilities is even titled "Choose the Form of the Destructor"... he was a ton of fun to write up. </span></div>

Hey, finally thought I'd update you on what's coming. I'm gathering art for the <span style="color: red;"><b>Black Atlas</b></span> - a weighty, 200+ page tome detailing Black Tokyo in greater depth than ever before. It's going to be a massive book, complex to design and expensive to produce, but it should come out this year.<br />
<br />
I'm also actively writing the drafts of campaign guides for <b><span style="color: red;">Psi-Watch </span></b>(set in alternate 1993, in line with the history hinted at in Secret Soldiers) and Heavy Future. Right now, I'm 4K or 5K words of new content into the Heavy Future draft, and am at the rough outline phase of the Psi-Watch draft.<br />
<br />
However, last weekend I had an idea, comissioned Amanda to provide some art (seen at right), and this weekend or early next week I should have a new short player race sourcebook out. I'm calling the new race <span style="color: red;"><b>"The Spookies"</b></span> - they're designed for Pathfinder. Remember a year or two back, I put out the Adventure Princess race, that basically allowed you to play a Disney Princess in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game? The Spookies do the same for Tim Burton-style undead. Mechancially, they're a lot of fun, and they've got a unique flavor to them.<br />
<br />
Look for the Spookies soon, than maybe a few more short projects before some of my major releases hit.<br /><br />Blessed Be,<br />

<br />
I've gone ahead and sent the revised edition to all purchasers of the first edition and deactivated that product. I also chose to set the Revised Edition at the same pricepoint as the first edition despite the fact it's over 100 pages longer and has a lot more, and better, artwork.<br />
<br />
Right now, I have a couple more magic items books in the works, which I've been tinkering away with for the past few months. However, I feel like 2018 is going to be the year of huge setting guides. I've got a solid draft of <i><b>The Black Atlas</b></i>, the revised setting guide for the <i>Black Tokyo Campaign Setting</i> that I've been sitting on for about 2 years now. It stands at about 290 page as a Word document, and I want to add about 100 more pages of content before going forward, and add a lot more horrific and disturbing elements.<br />
<br />
I'd also like to get out true, complete and well-illustrated guides for the <i>Psi-Watch</i> and <i>Heavy Future</i> campaigns, as they've never had really good world books. Likewise I'd love a decent gazetteer for the Otherverse America campaign, take the world out of San Francisco 2107 and into the country as a whole.<br />
<br />
It took a while to get my creative mojo back, but putting out Enchantments of Black Tokyo: Revised Edition helped me do it.<br />
<br />Blessed Be,<br />

Part of that has been due to a genuinely hellish winter: over the last few months I've dealt with the death of a coworker, a flu that took me out of action for most of January and most recently, a scratched cornea as a result of a biking accident.<br />
<br />
Also, of course, I've been a casualty of the most insidious illness of all: PS3 addiction. Yeah, that thing is a major time sink.<br />
<br />
Also, I've been doing too much revising and expansion on the revised <span style="color: red;"><b>Enchantments of Black Tokyo</b></span> sourcebook - more content, more art, a fancier layout, set it up for POD.... all of which costs time and money that the book might never repay me for, as good as I want it to be. So I think at this point, I just need to get the book out as is, and put something outthere and break the log jam.<br />
<br />
After that, I've got a few more magic item books in the pipeline, at various stages of completion, and a Lifer player's guide at the completed final draft stage.<br />
<br />
So I'm getting back into layout for Enchantments of Black Tokyo tonight, and hope to have it out soon. Thanks for the patience.<br />

First off, an admission. I bought a used Playstation 3 and several games two weeks ago, including Skyrim. Which means at this point, I'm at least two weeks behind schedule on pretty much everything.<br />
<br />
However, I've been doing a little bit of work. Rather than doing a second volume of <i>Enchantments of Black Tokyo, </i>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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />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 <i>Bubblegum Crisis </i>anime.<br />
<br />
Anyway, expect the revised Enchantments of Black Tokyo within a week or two, Skyrim be damned. The sell text and introduction are below: <br />

is common place, found on every darkened corner. Some of these items previously
appeared in various <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Black Tokyo</i></b> 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.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">This book’s subtitle is
“Schoolgirls, Sex Toys and Powered Armor”, which should give you an idea of
what you’re in for. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Enchantments of Black Tokyo</u></i></b> 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
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u>Enchantments
of Black Tokyo</u></i></b> is pregnant with new magic, ready to birth new
wonders and horrors into your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Black Tokyo</i>
campaign. </span></div>

It's 121 pages of new magic items, all inspired by classic 80s cartoons like <i>He-Man </i>and <i>Transformers</i>, to name only the two most famous and obvious inspirations. It was a ton of fun to do, and broke the mental log jam on my long awaited He-Man homage project, <u><b>Masters of Endara</b></u>. I'm actually about 20 pages into that setting right now, as I wait for the last of the needed artwork for some Black Tokyo and other projects.<br />
<br />
So my next book on the horizon will be a huge magic sourcebook for Black Tokyo, then probably a Lifer faction player's guide for <i>Otherverse America. </i>After that, expect some big worldbooks coming soon, including an already complete Black Tokyo atlas that I'm just awaiting art for, and a Heavy Future gazetteer that I'm just beginning to write. And of course, Endara, mentioned above and a Psi-Watch world book when I get around to it. Expect 2018 to be the year of <b><i>big-fucking-campaign-worldbooks. </i></b><br />
<br />
Well, lets take a look at the sale text for Cosmic Toybox. Let me know what you think of it, as I had a ton of fun writing it.<br />

can borrow some of the best abilities of the animal kingdom. </span></div>

half-animal heroes, other pieces of gear in this sourcebook are inspired by
other 80s cartoons: from the techno-magical wonders wielded by barbarian heroes
and highly trained ninja commandos to the holographic accessories of ultra-tech
pop starlets. Often, these new weapons and armor are derived wholly or in part
from recovered Technysian technology, or were inspired by a chance encounter
with the superhuman. <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

In this case, I released <b><u>Warp Speed! </u></b>which was a pretty ambitious expansion of the Starfinder starship creation rules. I decided to release it through Louis Porter Jr's storefront with the understanding the content will be collected with other <i>Starfinder </i>content for eventual Print on Demand release. <br />
<br />
So far, Warp Speed! has been extremely well received. Currently, Warp Speed is at #7 on the small press sales list and #12 in terms of over-all sales. I'm hoping it goes Copper by the weekend and continues to do well. I decided to release the book through Louis mostly because he's better equipped to publish POD content than I am, and because he's already had some decently selling products under the <i>Starfinder Comparability Logo</i>. That license is a bit more restrictive than the <i>Pathfinder Comparability Logo</i>, which in turn is far more restrictive than the do-anything-you-want <i>OGL </i>that I publish most of my content under, as my products tend to be a little more adult than anything Paizo wants associated with their official licenses. I've already been talking about some other <i>Starfinder </i>products to follow up <b><u>Warp Speed</u></b>.<br />
<br />
In other news, I'm midway through the layout for <u style="font-weight: bold;">Cosmic Toybox!</u> That book is coming out wonderfully, and I'm able to lay out a very attractive book with a mix of commissioned art and stock art that has an 80s, toyetic, science fantasy vibe. Last night, I laid out the entirety of the magic items and artifacts chapter. Tonight I do the spells, the aftermatter and make a final editing pass. The book should be up for sale Friday or Saturday! It'll include all the 80s toyline inspired magic items I talked about a few posts ago, as well as a ton of new Anthro spells and gear.<br />
<br />
I've gotten about a quarter of the final images I commissioned for <b><u>Enchantments of Black Tokyo</u></b>, and that book will be coming out in a couple weeks. More on that next time, along with some art. I'm posting this during a lunch break at work, so no art preview yet.<br />
<br />
Blessed Be,<br />CHRIS<br />

So I decided to make a change to my plans. I'd previously planned to release <i>The Cosmic Toybox, </i>which was planned as a huge magic-item book covering four themes: <br />1. Lifespawn magic items.<br />
2. Battlechanger and other 80s toon inspired items.<br />
3. Furry/Anthro magic items.<br />
<br />
I finally decided to just break the book into three smaller, but still ambitious sourcebooks. This way, I up my release count for 2017 and have the benefit of three 'opening weekends' for three books instead of just one. The first book is entitled <span style="color: red;"><b><i>God Machines</i>: </b></span><i><span style="color: red;"><b>Magic Items of the Lifechain</b></span>, </i>and focuses on Lifespawn magic items and artifacts for the <i>Otherverse America campaign setting</i>. I just uploaded this puppy to www.rpgnow.com and it's on sale for $4.99 at 48 pages of content.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjej4n6UwVJUL_eNS0Us74zREH3Ym6FejIwX8i0-bIcK8zbinC7kcODiULtwbeerWleDa3D-6z35rar6fKOktQVmQL4jtngMX932RFXLnQCXRDqanlR2oLjhUxUME3mNDEbs1YZX6pWmX7_/s1600/tumblr_ovfsuoRSaw1rnvulyo10_540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="540" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjej4n6UwVJUL_eNS0Us74zREH3Ym6FejIwX8i0-bIcK8zbinC7kcODiULtwbeerWleDa3D-6z35rar6fKOktQVmQL4jtngMX932RFXLnQCXRDqanlR2oLjhUxUME3mNDEbs1YZX6pWmX7_/s320/tumblr_ovfsuoRSaw1rnvulyo10_540.jpg" width="216" /></a><br />
I had a ton of fun writing it. Early on in the design process, I decided to pile in tons of Jack Kirby homages to expand the 'Lifechain' concept I've had since I started working on <i>Otherverse America</i>. A whole lot of the armors and weapons are lifted directly from Kirby: virtually any magic armor with the God- prefix was worn by a Kirby character.<br />
<br />
What the fuck, let's preview the God- armors here! The attached image should give you a hint of which Eternals character was wearing what. Thena (in gold) was wearing the armor that inspired the Godraiment, while Ikarus (in the blond dude in blue) is wearing what would become the Godweave armor. Not pictured are the inspirations for God Chain (Marvel's Cinematic Thor), and God Scale (DC's Big Barda). <br />

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Godraiment is gleaming ceremonial armor reserved for Lifespawn heroes
and nobility, a gleaming golden bodysheath that partially merges with the
wearer’s flesh. The armor resembles a thin sheath of liquid gold a few
millimeters thick, with bulkier armor plating on the pauldrons, belt and collar.
The armor’s crown erupts in a series of abstract, jagged spires rising from the
wearer’s forehead like stylized antlers. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This year’s output has been primarily some bestiaries and
magic item sourcebooks. You’ve already seen a great, and pretty well-received
bestiary for the </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Psi-Watch Campaign </span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">setting,
as well as updates to my popular </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fursona</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">
character builder and some </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Heavy Future</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">
content. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Over the last couple of months I’ve been working on a few
different collection of magic items. These books are great, because I can work
on them a few items or spells at a time, feeling like I’m making solid progress
even if I only produce 5-10 new elements per day, after coming home from work.
They’re also solid sellers, and any artwork I commission depicting new spells
or items can usually be repurposed for later bestiaries or worldbooks. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My next book will be a second volume of The Occult-Tech
Armory series entitled </span><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;"><b>“</b></span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;"><b>The Cosmic
Toybox”.</b></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s going to be a weighty, mid-length sourcebook. Probably on the
order of 200+ pages depending on layout choices I make. The book’s been very
fun, and will provide a lot of support for three customizable races found
throughout the Otherverse Games multiverse: Battlechangers, Anthros and
Lifespawn. Battlechangers were first described in Battlechangers: Ironworks,
and are basically Pathfinder RPG compatible versions of </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Transformers; </span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Anthros are the furry, animalistic heroes you can
build with </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fursona Unleashed. </span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">And
Lifespawn are powerful, cosmic demigods whose origins date back to the dawn on
the universe, described pretty thoroughly in </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Powers of the Lifechain</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cosmic Toybox is going to be a huge homage to the cartoons
of the 1980s I grew up watching – it includes spells and magic items inspired
by cartoons like </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He-Man and the Masters
of the Universe</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">, lots of elements drawn from 30+ years of </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Transformers</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> lore, gear for furry heroes
inspired by </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thundercats</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">, and so on. I
also decided since most of these items have a science-fantasy, Jack Kirby feel
to them, I’d go ahead and include a bunch of Lifespawn-specific new content and
make Cosmic Toybox the definitive ‘weird space opera’ gear book. I’m also
including a bunch of generic fantasy spells and items I’ve published in various
places over the last eight years, so they’re all consolidated in one easy to
reference PDF. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once Cosmic Toybox is out, I’ll pour in the profits from
that to purchase the last art I’ll need for the second volume of Enchantments
of Black Tokyo, as well as a HUGE revised world book for Black Tokyo that I
expect to finally release in early 2018. I’ll preview Enchantments of BT II a
little later.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">After that, I’m working on a collected spell and magic item
book for Otherverse America, similar to </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Enchantments
of Black Tokyo and</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Heavy Grimorie</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">.
I’m also simultaneously working on a Lifer Nation’s players guide, similar to </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Culture of Choice</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">, just from the exact
opposite outlook. I’ve got about 75-80 pages of solid content, but it just
doesn’t feel….there…. yet. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That book, and the Lifer-related magic content for
Enchantments of OA, I have to say are proving more difficult to write. First
off, getting myself into the headspace to detail a culture of anti-choice
Christian terrorists is a hard, especially these days. I want these characters
to be interesting and capable opponents or intriguing anti-heroes, but I don’t
in any way want to glorify or give credence to the real world beliefs driving
them. Plus, from an authorial point of view, Lifer spells and magic items are </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">really fucking nasty. </span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Their spells feel
cruel, punitive and judgmental, which makes sense considering the culture
that’s producing them, but man, it’s a chore to write up. </span></div>

the items and art from the upcoming </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">Cosmic
Toybox. </span></i><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">I’m going to focus on some of the most obvious homage items in the

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">One of my favorite magic item ‘sets’ in the upcoming
sourcebook are the Gear Mutt’s Cloak and Gear Mutt’s Mask combo. They’re a
homage to Dyna-Mutt from old Hanna-Barbarra cartoons. I love the artwork Amanda
turned in of a lupine Anthro superhero wearing this gear. It’s simultaneously
badass and hilarious, especially considering the item’s origins, and is in the
running to be the book’s cover image. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">The ‘similar item’ listing for Gear Mutt’s Cloak is a homage
to Gizmo Duck from </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">Ducktales</span></i><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">, which
is just something I put in for shits and giggles.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">While wearing the Gear Mutt’s Cloak,
the wearer can morph an assortment of tools or weapons from their body,
deploying them from concealed ports anywhere on their body. As a standard
action, the wearer can deploy any handheld tool or masterwork quality skill kit
of their choice, which retracts back into their body when no longer needed.
Additionally, the wearer can deploy an assortment of laser blasters which
function as a </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">+1 spacer’s blaster of
infinite ammunition</span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;">, from concealed ports on their body. These weapons
cannot be disarmed, and if sundered, the wearer can simply manifest an

upon Gear Mutt’s Cloak to transform themselves into a bio-mechanical lifeform.
For up to one hour, the wearer gains a Battlechanger like-form. The wearer is
treated as a Battlechanger of their size, and is considered to have 3 points of
Fuelon in their Fuelon Reserve. While in this state, the wearer gains the
Massive Strength and No Breath qualities, as well as the sensory capabilities
of an average Battlechanger. The wearer gains a single alt-mode appropriate to
their size. Each time the cloak is donned, the wearer can design a new alt-mode

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Holo-Masks are human occult-tech
built using reverse-engineered Technysian technology. Holo-Masks are incredibly
bulky life support helmets that fully conceal the wearer’s features, race and
gender. The masks have a decorative flair, intensely colorful cladding and
almost totemistic designs built using life-support components and equipment
modules. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A variety of Holo-Masks exist, each
designated by a unique color-scheme and design and codename.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">All Holo-Masks, regardless of function, can
use any of the following spells at will: </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">·</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">

</span></span></span></span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Invisibility </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">·</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span></span></span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Minor Image</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 24px; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">·</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">

<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition, the Holo-Mask can
replace the helmet of any armor with the Space Suit property without
compromising that property. Each Holo-Mask provides the wearer with a +5
competence bonus on either Drive or Fly checks, determined by the creator at
the time of the object’s creation. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, each Holo-Mask has a
specific function built into it, which is always based around a third level
abjuration, evocation or transmutation effect. This spell is added to the
Holo-Mask’s construction requirements and is usable 3x/day. Some examples are
described below. </span></span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This especially ornate and heavily
girded set of plate-mail is richly enameled in a bright color. Instead of a
tabard, the breast plate of the armor has been accented with a polished,
mirror-like plate of indestructible and enchanted glass, riveted to the steel.
Within this enchanted mirror, a ghostly animal- usually a noble and impressive
beast such as a lion, warhorse, eagle or dragon – paces as if caged and roars silently.
The armor’s fully enclosed great helm resembles the illusory animal, as do
other details carved into the good steel. </span></span></div>

is useable at will, but has a longer casting time than the norm. Each armor

creation and symbolized by the animal spirit within the mirror. </span></span></div>

This legendary Battlechanger armor was inspired visually by artist Floro Dery’s
unused original design for Ultra Magnus, and the lore behind the armor was
inspired by the IDW incarnation of that same character. Consider this a bit of
a spoiler if you haven’t read the “Remain in Light” storyline of IDW’s </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">More than Meets the Eye</span></i><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;"> yet.</span></div>

<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Magnus Aegis is an ancient Technysian artifact, worn by
the greatest heroes of the Freegear Rebellion. The gleaming golden armor was
worn during the first battle of the Rebellion, and outlived the legendary
robotic warlord it was commissioned for. When the armor is not bestowed upon a
worthy Freegear (and millennia can pass before a new wearer proves his or her
worth), the armor is kept in a vast temple-armory on one of Technys’ gleaming
moons. </span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Magnus Aegis takes the form of a massive metallic
exo-frame, forged from a beautifully burnished golden alloy. When worn the
armor seems to merge with the wearer’s metallic body, revealing intricate
internal components cast from burnished bronze and platinum. The Magnus Aegis
includes a golden breastplate inset with a reinforced translucent polymer
window revealing a powerful plasma-energy chamber that powers the armor. A
great-helm with blunt, angular wings and pauldrons fitted with high, towering
weapons modules farther adds to the wearer’s grandeur. </span></span></div>

trans-scaling, wilding grade-III
powered armor of determination and heavy fortification. </span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Magnus Aegis
provides the wearer with Immunity to Fire and Electricity. The Magnus Aegis’ </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">wilding</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> property applies whenever a
Battlechanger wearer assumes any alt-mode, allowing the armor to maintain its

<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">While wearing the Magnus Aegis, the Battlechanger is

<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The missile-towers built into the armor’s pauldrons function

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If the wearer is slain while wearing the Magnus Aegis, the
armor teleports away at Initiative Count 0 of the round the wearer perishes,
leaving the wearer’s body behind. This effect functions identically to </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">interplanetary</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">teleportation</span></i><span style="font-family: inherit;">, and returns the armor to its temple-armory. If the
teleportation effect is prevented or blocked, the Magnus Aegis can be captured
or destroyed normally. </span></span></div>

The final critter roster will top out at between 165-170 creatures, about 40 of which have been previously published and 5-6 of which are familiars.<br />
<br />
In addition to some existing artwork and stock I'll be using for this project, I've gathered a huge amount of new artwork by John Picot, Amanda Webb and Vic Shane to illustrate new creatures. Today I thought I'd spotlight a few images that you'll be seeing in this upcoming sourcebook.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhihgvq9Whb9MNouPrPtMESsaLFtHWT6BkuPSt5VDFwKAqU0dvPYQOSSRjxnP1sRJOyVHoM_3FNic18CGJYj01ep2zjcPbCUy9N4E0Yw_FSi9K8t4XwoXhHlB1mr3R9CJb-bgXkkLs0EAMS/s1600/Sekmet+Ammt+Future+Version.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="909" data-original-width="909" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhihgvq9Whb9MNouPrPtMESsaLFtHWT6BkuPSt5VDFwKAqU0dvPYQOSSRjxnP1sRJOyVHoM_3FNic18CGJYj01ep2zjcPbCUy9N4E0Yw_FSi9K8t4XwoXhHlB1mr3R9CJb-bgXkkLs0EAMS/s320/Sekmet+Ammt+Future+Version.jpg" width="320" /></a> First, three images from John Picot. The first illustrates the <b><i>Luminate</i></b>, a high-CR, high-flying energy blaster inspired by <i>The Authority'</i>s Apollo. Next, <b><i>Sekhmet Ammt </i></b>makes the jump from the older Action Galaxy sourcebook to menace Psi-Watch heroes. She is the 'capstone' on an adventuring thread pitting heroes against an ancient cult of Egyptian super-cyborgs. Finally, a spectacular image of the <b><i>Irish</i></b> <b><i>Magdalene</i></b>, a heroic Catholic demon hunter inspired by Top Cow's Magdalena, but incorporating some pretty dark (and real) elements of Irish history. Honestly, she's probably my favorite of all the images John provided for this book. I love how she came out. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIRDJQPhx2wyULFFzV9rDGk0vQtDbE1aEnhrc61nBlPoqRGarpgleoQxCiCrKjKucYpDRaaEePYHqSRwa6-9WhY0e3nj6a5fAnhxB-gxdoU0MJ4v_Ts-_OXxlYRuJNpMpn9uYJHbyfSjBD/s1600/Irish+Magdalene.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="909" data-original-width="727" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIRDJQPhx2wyULFFzV9rDGk0vQtDbE1aEnhrc61nBlPoqRGarpgleoQxCiCrKjKucYpDRaaEePYHqSRwa6-9WhY0e3nj6a5fAnhxB-gxdoU0MJ4v_Ts-_OXxlYRuJNpMpn9uYJHbyfSjBD/s320/Irish+Magdalene.jpg" width="255" /></a><br />
Next, two from Amanda Webb, out of the many images she provided for the book. The <b><i>Necrofficer </i></b>is my take on <i>Spawn</i>, a corrupt military official who comes back as a powerful undead but loses none of his tactical acumen or military mindset. Mechanically and story-wise, the Necrofficer is really fun to write. Beneath the Necrofficer image, we've got <i><b>Dr. Oblivion Van Der Merwe</b></i>, a riff on Cameron Hodge from <i>X-Men: X-Tinction Agenda</i>, which remains one of my favorite X-stories to this day. Like Hodge, Dr. Oblivion sits at the head of the Republic of Cebrary chain of command, and is the capstone villain for that adventure path. Amanda told me she specifically hypersaturated the bold pink of the laser blasts to mimic the coloring from the crossover, and I love her rendition of one of the most terrifying X-villains of the early 1990s.<br />

The<i><b> Cultureborn Adaman</b></i>t is inspired heavily by obscure Wildstorm character, <i>Union</i>, and is a supercop/bodyguard for the Culture. He's designed as a CR 14 challenge, and can take on a spaceship on his own. Tough with cool powers, substituting an enchanted adamantine spear for Union's <i>justice stone </i>and glowing quarterstaff projected from it. Finally, we've got an elite troop for the Republic of Cebrary, a <i><b>Stormfront Elite</b></i>. You'll fight these guys at every level of the campaign. He's visually inspired by Jim Lee's design for the Genoshan Magistrates, obviously.<br />
<br />
Look for another preview in the next couple days, and the book in a week or two.<br />
<br />
Happy Fourth of July,<br />

More specifically, I want to just say something about Republican lawmakers attempting to retcon history and sweep all the right-wing acts of terrorism under the carpet because of this recent act of leftist terrorism.<br />
<br />
"This could be the first political rhetorical terrorist attack." Said Representative Rodney Davis (R-IL).<br />
<br />
Bullshit.<br />
<br />
Ask Dr. George Tiller about 'political rhetorical' terrorism. Oh wait, you can't.<br />
<br />
A Republican shot him in the face.<br />

Right now, this bestiary stands at 170 creatures, which is dramatically bigger than <i>Closed: Monsters of the Army of God</i>, and a slight bit bigger than both volumes of the <i>Black Bestiary </i>put together. About 40-ish of those creatures you've seen before in volume 1 and 2 of the <i>Psi-Threats</i> series, the rest are all new.<br />
<br />
There's a lot of political subtext to this, as in many ways the alternate-1993 of the revised Psi-Watch world speaks to the state of America circa 2017. Take a look at the opening essay for the bestiary - the 'xxxx' placeholder text indicates where the book's eventual title will go when I decide on it. After that, take a look at one of the main named badguys of the setting: Evil Cyborg Mike Pence.<br />
<br />
Next time, I'll preview some of the new art I'm gathering for the setting and showcase a few more comic inspired bad guys, including some epic-level monsters.<br />
<br />
So here's the opening essay, inspirations list and your introduction to <i><b>President Mike Spencer </b></i>(subtle, right?) who I hope is a cap-stone villain and challenging fire-fight for your Psi-Watch adventuring party. The illustration of President Spencer is by John Picot who's done double duty on this book. <br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">1993 Equals 2017 </span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I’d
been toying with creating a revised setting for Psi-Watch since the publication
of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Black Operators. </i>I wanted to take
the setting back in time and make it a period piece: a superheroic tribute to
the early 1990s. As 2015 and 2016 unfolded, the idea of looking backward to my
adolescence got more and more appealing, and I began to notice cultural
parallels between the two decades. Trump’s virulently racist, right-wing
campaign, combined with the visceral conservative pushback against #Black Lives
Matter, proved that despite the fact America had elected Barack Obama in the
interval, it was not significantly more evolved or any less bigoted than it was
on the night Rodney King got beaten. When the monster was finally elected, I
started thinking even more seriously about the project. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It
was a joke that appeared on Tumblr, an internet meme, that finally pushed this
new, 1990s-flavored bestiary out of the theoretical stage and into full
production. Somebody online made an image comparing the loathesome homophobe VP
Mike Pence with the fictional <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Reverend
William Stryker</i>, with the caption “Why does Mike Pence always look like
he’s going to introduce legislation to outlaw the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">X-Men</i>?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Well,
ka-boom. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The
last pieces fell into place. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I’d
always, and purely for my own amusement, stated that in the Psi-Watch reality
George HW Bush had been blasted by some Iraqi metahuman in the early 1990s. So
build on that, and you’ve got an ultra-conservative, anti-mutant (as a visceral
and well-established metaphor for homophobia) Republican running in place of
the atomized Bush and beating Clinton. All of a sudden, even putting aside the
superheroes, mutants and psychics running around, 1993 starts looking a whole
lot different, a whole lot darker. A lot more in need of heroic adventurers. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">President Michael Spencer</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> (the even worse-than-real,
Cyborg Mike Pence) becomes the centerpiece of a web of superhuman opponents,
monstrous psions, military-trained undead, and secret, bio-mechanical cults
that threatens the world. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: yellow; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-highlight: yellow;">XXXX</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> is one of the largest and most wide-ranging
bestiaries ever produced by Otherverse Games, dwarfing <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Closed: Monsters of the Armies of God, The Complete Nemesis Bestiary</i>
and both volumes of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Black Bestiary</i>
even if you added them together. Included are more than <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">XXXXX</span> monsters. While the entire casts of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Psi-Threats Volume I and II </i>are
included, those <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">XXX</span>
monsters, mecha and supersoldiers represent only a tiny portion of the
collected cast, most of which are all new. <br />
<br />
A handful of themes dominate <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">XXXXX</span>.
In addition to the politics of Psi-Watch’s 1993, several hidden cults and
secretive organizations threaten the world. Elements of the Lovecraft Mythos
are thrown into the pot with comic book in-jokes and homages, and an absolutely
original version of Lovecraft’s <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">Nyarlahotep</span></i></b> has
emerged as one of this dangerous, war-torn setting’s greatest threats. Mutant
culture is caught between cyber-tech bigots, gigantic<b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> Watchtower Mecha</i></b> and the slave-trading <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Republic of Cebrary</i></b> at one extreme, and the other-dimensional
sadism of <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Eugenicist Demons </i></b>at
the other. The psion-led, eugenic cult of the <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Huxley Emergence</i></b> fights a secret war for control over the
planet, and keeps a frightful psychic WMD called the <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Murder Mind</i></b> in deep stasis, ready to be unleashed if
Emergence’s rivals for the planet ever gain the upper hand. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It’s
not all politics though. <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">XXXX</span>
is a love letter to the kind of comics I grew up reading. Heroes might storm
secret military bases, killing their way through troops in an orgy of
hyper-colorful violence, only to confront a <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Necrofficer</i></b> staging a military coup. Or they might trade blows
with a high-flying, nuclear powered <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Luminate</i></b>
or be stalked by <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lady Entropia’s </i></b>trio
of terrifying minions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Some
new elements introduced in <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">XXXX</span>
will be expanded on in future world books. A loose coalition of <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">First Nations</i></b> tribes, protected by
skillful meta-human defenders controls vast swaths of formerly American
territory and form one of the most effective resistances to the <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Spencer Administration</i></b>. An alternate
reality where the Roman Empire never fell treats Psi-Watch’s Earth as a ready
source of slaves and entertainment, sending sadistic <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Box Office Editors</i></b> to recapture runaway slaves and
exceptionally lucky freedom fighters who escaped to Psi-Watch’s Earth.
Anthropomorphic adventurers (and the founders of a new, rough alt-rock style
called Growl) hail from the city of <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cat’s
Cradle</i></b>, which was called Omaha, NE back in the days before all its
citizens grew fur. The <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lagniappe
Thieves Guild</i></b> in New Orleans is a relic of the Underground Railroad
that has evolved into a dashing, romantic band of thieves, spies and assassins.

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Inspiration and Media List for Psi-Watch 1992</span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">At its simplest, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Psi-Watch</i> is an affectionate homage to
the superhero comics of the early 1992s, particularly Marvel’s X-Titles and the
first crop of Image Comics. Like these inspirations, Psi-Watch’s heroes are
tough, battle hardened psions, aliens, cyborgs and mutants who wage secret wars
in the shadows of the modern world. </span></div>

Spencer’s palm-mounted dart launcher fires nanite-laced toxins that shut down
mutant powers and occult abilities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">A
target damaged by President Spencer’s darts loses access to any racial trait
requiring conscious activation, and cannot cast arcane spells, or use
Supernatural or Spell-Like abilities requiring conscious activation.
(Conversion therapy does not affect divine spellcasting nor psionic abilities.)
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">While
under this effect, the target’s sexual orientation changes to heterosexual, and
their gender changes to match their genetic sex, if different, for the purpose
of determine what powers and abilities affect them. This may limit use of
sex-linked powers and abilities. This secondary effect of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">conversion therapy</i> cannot affect a character with the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Iron Heart</i> feat. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This
effect remains in place on the target until they receive a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">remove disease </i>spell or similar effect. An initial DC 24 FORT Save
negates the effect of a particular dart, but new attacks require additional
FORT Saves. The save DC is CON-based and includes the bonus for Ability Focus. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Electro-Shock Impact (SU) <br />
</span></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">President
Spencer inflicts an additional +2d6 points of electrical damage with a
successful melee attack. The target is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">stunned</i>
for 1 minute after the impact unless they succeed at a FORT Save (DC 12 _+ the
electrical damage inflicted). </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">All
creatures with the Watchtower subtype within 100 ft of President Spencer will
hold their action until the President acts. If the President attacks a target
with either the Mutant or Patriot subtype, all Watchtower robots within this
aura receive a +4 bonus on attack and damage rolls against the designated
target. They will attack this target exclusively until it is destroyed. If the
Watchtower mecha use their <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Flame Thrower
Purge</i> special attack instead, increase the fire damage inflicted by +2d6.
Only a single target may be designated this way at any given time. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Psionic Immunity (SU) <br />
</span></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">President
Spencer is immune to any psionic power that allows power resistance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Nature </span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">As America rebuilt from the
meta-human assassination of President George H.W. Bush shortly after America
declared victory in Desert Storm, former Indiana governor and anti-mutant
firebrand Michael C. Spencer won a hard-fought campaign for the Republican
candidacy. Appealing to enraged masses of Reagan-era conservatives, a new breed
of anti-mutant activist and Evangelical Christians convinced the End Times were
at hand, Spencer’s strident message carried him into the White House, easily
defeating the Democratic nominee, Bill Clinton. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Within days of being sworn
in, President Spencer began carrying out the “Contract with Humanity” he and
his colleagues promised during the election. In addition to a deliberate
rollback of hard won rights for women, minorities, LGBT citizens and the poor,
Spencer’s cabinet began overturning the civil rights Mutants and Hard Genes had
taken for granted since the late 1970s. The Watchtower Program, dormant since
the Carter Administration, reawakened. Heavily armed, federal troops replaced
federal funding in Mutant communities in LA, Detroit and elsewhere. The nascent
Mutant community formed in the wake of the McDuffie, MO Crisis was treated as
public health emergency, and many new mutants were forced into quarantine
camps. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">President Spencer is a tall,
rigid man in his 60s, with the delivery of a revival preacher and an intense,
gunslinger’s stare. His current body is a façade: shortly after taking the oath
of office, President Spencer accepted a full cybernetic retrofit.
Cyber-surgeons loyal to the Cult of <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Nyarlathotep
rebuilt the President as a front-line warrior against Mutant corruption.
Alliance with a secret order of Egyptian pagans rankled the Evangelical Spencer,
but he reluctantly accepted the cult’s secret aid in order to purge the Mutant
stain from the human genome. Now, while President Spencer can still pass for
human, his cyber-chassis makes him more powerful than any last-gen Watchtower
mecha. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">For
now, President Spencer fights his battles against Mutants and other undesirable
Americans in the courts and on conservative airwaves. However, when the war
against Mutants finally goes hot, Spencer will lead America’s armies as a
post-human Commander in Chief. Unknown to any but his closest aids and
political allies, President Spencer has drafted secret (and likely illegal)
executive orders to be put into place during ‘times of genetic emergency’ that
give him effectively unlimited powers. </span></div>

Well, I just uploaded <span style="color: red;"><b>The Heavy Grimoire </b></span>to www.rpgnow.com. It went on sale for $6.66 just because the faux-shocking early 80s pop-culture Satanism references in the book made the price point feel really appropriate.<br />
<br />
The book topped out at 115 pages of neat new spells and magic items. It's the second book I've published with my (relatively) new Adobe Creative Suite 2 program, and I'm learning a few new tricks. I was playing around with a new look for section and paragraph headers that I think came out fairly attractive.<br />
<br />
Next up, the as-yet-nameless <span style="color: lime;"><b>LUCHADORES IN SPAAAAAACE</b></span> book I'm working on with John Picot. After that, expect a Choicer magic item book for <span style="color: red;"><i>Otherverse America</i></span>, as well as a few generic magic item books and then the big, consolidated <i><span style="color: red;">Psi-Watch Bestiary</span></i>. I'm getting in some excellent art for that book, and I'll preview some next time.<br />
<br />Blessed Be,<br />

Well, over the past couple weeks, I've been working quietly on a variety of projects. The first one you'll see is the upcoming <b><span style="color: red;">Heavy</span></b> <b><span style="color: red;">Grimorie</span></b>. This one's going to be a nice big sourcebook containing spells and magic items for my <i>Heavy Future </i>campaign setting. To the right is Amanda Webb's cover for the book: I'll design the title art later this afternoon and begin laying this mid-length sourcebook out. Expect <i>Heavy Grimorie </i>out by the end of the week!<br />
<br />
Here is the introductory paragraph and sell text for <i>Heavy Grimorie. </i><br />

My next project is another one I'm doing purely at John Picot's urging. He wants to do a book all about <span style="color: orange;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">LUCHADORES IN SPAAAAACE! </span></b></span>Sort of if the adventures of Santo the Mexican Wrestler were written and drawn by Jack Kirby. He's already sent me a ton of kickass art and concepts. I've not really started writing it yet, just sketched out a few rough notes, but it's already turning into a fun little book. I have a feeling this as-yet-unnamed book will be the absolutely best kind of ridiculous, just sheer brainless fun. I'm shooting for a mid-length campaign guide, similar in layout and scope (if not theme) to <i>Witches of the Blue Skies, </i>from a few years back. This will probably be the next release after Heavy Grimorie, though if I get the art in first, I might put out a magic item book for Otherverse America, as a follow-up to <i>Choicer Magick Book I. </i><br />
<br />
After all that, I've got a huge setting bestiary for the Psi-Watch Campaign Setting on deck. I've already got nearly 160 new critters statted up, only about 40 of which you've seen before. I've got about half the art I need for this book. I'll be previewing this book later in the week.<br />
<i> </i><br />
Looks like it'll be a fun summer,<br />

week, in an email I never expected to get, a representative from the geeky
‘mystery box’ company <b><span style="color: red;">Loot Crate</span></b> contacted me and asked if I would write
something on my blog a</span>bout the kind of Loot Crate I’d most enjoy getting, or
perhaps a few new themes for their monthly themed box. So, now I’m a
thought-leader, or at least accessible enough on the internet that I can get
coopted into an (albeit cool) viral marketing campaign.</div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">For
those of you that aren’t familiar with the brand, Loot Crate basically is a
mystery gift service. You buy a subscription to Loot Crate for either yourself
(so you get a neat treat once a month) or as a gift for a buddy. Aside from a
few loose suggestions, or items implied by a particular month’s theme, you get
about 45-50 bucks worth of random, but geek-focused items. One of my closest
friends got a few month’s worth of Loot Crate for his last birthday, and in one
of his crates, he scored the excellent “Infinity Gauntlet Oven Mitt” that blew
up last year, which I’ve always envied a bit. It’s a fun service.</span></div>

<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Dreaming
of Transformers</span></i></b><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">First
off, my dream crate would consist of nothing but <i>Transformers</i> merchandise. A couple of the smaller, cuter (and
cheaper to buy & ship) “Legends” scale TF toys from the current line, or a
particularly tasty “Deluxe” class robot, a few random IDW comics, an ironic
T-shirt which I would wear unironically, some stickers, a tiny ‘gashapon’
mini-toy or two, a key-chain or fridge magnet shaped like the Autobot or
Decepticon logo. There is a lot of cool Transformers merchandise being sold on
both sides of the Pacific, and as an American consumer, I’d love a chance to
get at some of the Japan-exclusive <i>Takara-Tomy</i> stuff through Loot Crate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Maybe
you can even find and include a particularly intriguing Dollar-Store knock-off to
round out the package (I love my Chinese bootleg Bruticus/Ruination far too
much). Hell, find me an alarm clock shaped like the Autobot Matrix of
Leadership and it would go on my bedside table in an instant. I am very easy to
shop for, but maybe my singularity of interest wouldn’t make the most
attractive package for anyone other than myself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">So, let’s
talk themed Crates instead. We’ll first focus on two particularly familiar
elements of my gaming writing that might make kick-ass Crates<sup>1</sup>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Powered
Armor <o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBE3XI3ANJx33UK4qkOWPkIRTMsW0jYiAHfXZk1ImOmbaIZ14wKMvtdqWEQkeiJE6eUjCBB4Kg17TyG0-13eMnJfuKrOMu6U16DdgqTJyAW1jQmCIuy273q_IbLSHCxNk5Ua50fgyElAk/s1600/iron+man+metal+sign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBE3XI3ANJx33UK4qkOWPkIRTMsW0jYiAHfXZk1ImOmbaIZ14wKMvtdqWEQkeiJE6eUjCBB4Kg17TyG0-13eMnJfuKrOMu6U16DdgqTJyAW1jQmCIuy273q_IbLSHCxNk5Ua50fgyElAk/s320/iron+man+metal+sign.jpg" width="249" /></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">How
about a Loot Crate based entirely around powered armor? Obviously, the highly
merchandized and iconic Iron Man would anchor the Crate. Give me a small action
figure or mini-statuette of the armored Avenger as one of the core items in the
Crate. I’ve also seen some lovely metal reproductions of classic <i>Invincible Iron Man</i> covers that measure
about 8x11 inches and look wonderful, at retailers such as Target in the home
décor section. I wouldn't mind having one on my wall. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Then,
how about going a bit literary? Finding a nice paperback edition of Robert
Heinlein’s <i>Starship Troopers</i> would
add a touch of class to the Crate. (The <i>Armored
</i>anthology, edited by John Joseph Adams would be another sweet option.) I’m
sure there’s other sci-fi novels prominently featuring powered armor, but those
are the first two that pop to mind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">For an
easy inclusion, toss in something related to Ripley in her power loader from <i>Aliens, </i>because finding something cute
and geeky with that iconic image won’t be hard. Likewise, finding <i>Destiny</i>-related merchandise would also
be fairly easy, and with their sequel coming out soon, would also be hot. Plus,
Destiny has some amazing looking armor designs. If you’ve got different tastes
in gaming, there’s also great looking armor to be found in the <i>Halo</i> and <i>Overwatch</i> franchises, and lots of different merch out there for
each brand. And if you’re talking iconic, armor-wearing video game heroes,
including some <i>Metroid</i> merch, from
Nintendo, seems like a no-brainer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">While <i>Aliens</i> and <i>Destiny</i> (as well as the other franchises mentioned), are easy to
find merch for, finding more obscure stuff might be rewarding. The classic
anime <i>Bubblegum Crisis </i>is a sadly
dead brand these days, but how awesome would it be to find a toy of one of the
Knight Sabers in a Loot Crate circa 2017? If there are any currently available
products out there featuring the Cyclone armor system from <i>Robotech, </i>or the Scope Dog suit from <i>Armored Trooper Votoms</i>, toss it right in! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">In
terms of comic books for potential inclusion, Marvel’s <i>Iron Man</i> is a natural fit for this crate, but also consider
Valiant’s <i>XO</i> <i>Manowar</i>. IDW’s current <i>Rom </i>series
features a cool full-conversion cyborg rather than an armored hero, but I’ll
count Rom as a potential inclusion if you will. Unfortunately, DC’s <i>Steel </i>isn’t carrying his own title these
days, but find a current DC issue where he guest stars and I’d be happy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">And
while Boba Fett and the various Stormtrooper types are armored infantry without
compare, I’ve always been partial to the armored “Bossush” disguise Princess
Leia wore at the beginning of <i>Return of
the Jedi</i>. As an aside I’ve recently converted a friend of mine towards
collecting 3.75 inch action figures, and he’s amassing a great collection of
armored Imperial troops in this scale. I think he’d choose this themed crate in
a heartbeat if you included a 3.75 inch scale “Black series” Clone Trooper of
some kind. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmsBCbR6eZUZU-m02MnZPkx29KQEoWQTidTPHQJIjYrWyGhH9jSEG3xnh7-mB31Uaip0G4m00hSM8BNqVhyphenhyphen1ydzh_F80Pqkpy1KmBxaAEKe_Rba2WDrVA_k952yKaAAy0rzAQa_yPvjo2f/s1600/summer+in+zootopia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmsBCbR6eZUZU-m02MnZPkx29KQEoWQTidTPHQJIjYrWyGhH9jSEG3xnh7-mB31Uaip0G4m00hSM8BNqVhyphenhyphen1ydzh_F80Pqkpy1KmBxaAEKe_Rba2WDrVA_k952yKaAAy0rzAQa_yPvjo2f/s320/summer+in+zootopia.jpg" width="320" /></a><b><i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Furries</span></i></b><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">! <br />
(And yes, the advertisement of the Furries! Crate would include the exclamation
point. Furries! Accept no substitute.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Obviously,
Loot Crate would have to keep things all-ages with this particularly fuzzy
package, but no problem there. It’s pretty easy to find all-ages, mainstream
anthromorophic heroes though I would definitely not turn up my nose if I opened
up this particular Loot Crate to find something weird like an <i>Omaha the Cat Dancer </i>coffee mug. I would
assume this theme would have to be very tactile- lots of stuffed animals,
t-shirts, maybe even a funny animal knit cap. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Most of
the merchandise for the Furries! Loot Crate would come from Disney and Pixar,
and would be a particular treat for fans of those companies. Throughout the
years Disney and its licensors have assembled a nice little hoard of plushes,
action figures, desk toys, prints, posters, stickers and more for
anthro-friendly cartoons such as <i>Robin
Hood, The Rescuers, Tale Spin, Darkwing Duck</i> and lots of others. Loot Crate
would be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking Disney articles for
inclusion into this Crate. Pixar, of course, would contribute some <i>Zootopia </i>products to the package. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Now
that I think about it, the furry fandom is defined by truly bad puns and
wordplay at one extreme, as by explicit sex at the other end of the spectrum. So why not
include a package of those cheesy elementary school Valentine cards featuring
some of the above characters? Those cards, and their ridiculous puns, would earn a (slightly baffled) smirk from every recipient of this Crate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">And I
have one demand that must be met- just one. An awesome <i>Thundercats</i> t-shirt: the iconic red symbol against stark black
cotton. No negotiations, no compromise. The Furry! Crate must include this
t-shirt, which is as close to a national flag as the Furry fandom possesses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Need
something to round out the Crate? Head towards the Land of the Rising Sun and
find me something cute, cuddly and cat-girl related. A neat blind-boxed figure
perhaps or one of those 2 inch high ‘gashapon’ (vending machine) mini-figures. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">I’m also constantly amazed that even though furry content can generate so much
Internet Nerd Rage, how widely accepted anthropomorphic characters are in
mainstream, mundane advertising. Finding a t-shirt, stuffed toy or fun little
gadget with some random ‘funny animal’ mascot like Toucan Sam, Tony the Tiger,
the Trix Rabbit or even (leaving breakfast cereals behind for a second) the
CarFax Car Fox should be easy and cheap, and might make a cool capstone for
this Crate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">1</span></sup><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"> I’m intentionally leaving out the
highly thematic, but commercially suicidal ‘abortion providers are heroes’
Crate theme. Besides, asides from a few documentaries on DVD I’m not really
sure what would actually go in such a crate. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Blessed
Be, <o:p></o:p></span></div>

(Right now, it's nearly as big as both volumes of the Black Bestiary and I'm no where near ready to publish yet.) </span></div>

Hey, just wanted to warn everybody that <span style="color: orange;"><i><b>Horrors of the Lifechain Volume II </b></i></span>is now available for sale at www.rpgnow.com. I just added the file about five minutes ago. Go buy it if you need some nasty space beasties in your campaign. <br />
<br />
This was an interesting book for me because of one reason: It marks my upgrade to a slightly less outdated layout program! After nearly a decade using Adobe Pagemaker 7.0, I finally made the switch to Adobe Indesign CS2. Yeah, CS2 is only a few years more current than Pagemaker, but those few years of programming evolution makes a difference. Earlier this year I upgraded to a new laptop running Windows 10 and Pagemaker wasn't playing very nicely with my new operating system. Images were coming out pixaleted, text was muddy, and there were occasional glitches.<br />
<br />
I don't begrudge it because I'd been using Pagemaker nearly 20 years after Adobe stopped supporting the program and like I said, got nearly a decade of use out of the program. (Best $40 I ever spent was picking that disk up used.)<br />
<br />
So far, I'm liking CS2 a lot. <span style="color: orange;"><b><i>Horrors of the Lifechain Vol II</i></b></span> was a fairly simple PDF but it came out looking about as good as any of my Pagemaker releases, so I'm at a baseline level of competence with the program already. And though Horrors didn't include any charts (which are the bane of my existence) I did a few test PDFs with charts to make sure I got the hang of that aspect of the program down as well. I'll only get better as new releases roll on, and I've got another few projects on deck.<br />
<br />
Talk to you soon, and let me know what you think of the new layout! <br />

At right is the cover illustration for <b><span style="color: red;">Horrors of the Lifechain Volume II, </span></b>which is a Malcolm McClinton illustration from <i>Inkwell Images</i>. I've decided the creature depicted will be the (currently) first critter in the bestiary, a CR 15 master villain inspired heavily by the Overlords from Arthur C. Clarke's <i>Childhood's End. </i>They actually fit in perfectly with existing Lifespawn and cosmic threats, and are a thematic team with another race of similarly manipulative, emotionless alien geniuses: my own version of Kube from <i>Puella Magi Madoka Magica. </i>(I've included these critters as a minor Singular-blooded Lifespawn called the Quadi, and you'll meet them in the final draft.)<br />
<br />
Lets take a look at the mechanics for my cover-boy.<br />

the caster or one of the caster’s allies, but not if the same <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">charm</i> merely compelled him to drop his

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Administrum
are the self-appointed overseers of advanced, technologically adept societies
who are on the verge of a vast evolutionary leap into a race of powerful
psions. Administrum guide this transition, sparking it artificially with their
vast powers when necessary, regardless of the opinions of the unevolved.
Administrum take no pleasure in the extinction of non-psionic species, but do
not see evolutionary genocide as a tragedy, any more than it is a tragedy when
a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis. Administrum consider it their prime
duty to protect and guide the new breed of psions their tampering conceives. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Administrum
follow an exacting pattern when initiating contact with a ‘project’ species.
Initial contact is handled by intermediaries, as the Administrum trade
technology with planetary governments, offering revolutionary technology like
fusion power, FTL travel, advanced genetic engineering, teleportation tech or
occult technology as gifts to radically upgrade the world’s standard of living
and technology base. Over time, Administrum take greater roles in planetary
leadership, eventually drawing the world into their vast, far-flung empire.
After a previously agreed period, usually 7 to 10 planet-years from first
contact, the Administrum reveal themselves publicly, as the race knows its
demonic appearance tends to terrify most species. Secretly, an Administrum
cabal will use its uplift ability about this time, changing the race forever
and dooming the adults of the species to gradual extinction. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Administrum
hate and fear Lifespawn. They will not tamper with a world they know to have
been previously visited by <b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Great
Watchmakers </i></b><span style="color: red;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">(Just BTW, Great Watchmakers are a CR 30 homage to Jack Kirby's Celestials, also found in this book!), </span></span><b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">World Seeders</i></b> or other Lifespawn demi-gods. Even the
plausible rumor of Watchmaker interest can cause Adminstrum to abruptly break
off contact and write-off a world, regardless of their level of prior
tampering. Administrum use intermediaries and catspaws to exterminate Lifespawn
infections wherever they are found, especially those of the Mother and Nemesis
bloodlines, which they find especially distasteful and unpredictable. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Administrum
resemble devils right out of the collective mythology of mankind and other
sentient species. The race disdains decoration and usually goes nude or nearly
so, dressed only in simple robes, toga or loincloth. The species moves slowly
and always speaks softly, in a calm, rational and controlled manner. They are
not prone to displays of temper, even in the heat of battle or at the moment of
their own deaths. Administrum are legalistic and pedantic in the extreme,
though they consider contracts made with less-evolved species subject to
revision in the name of the greater good…. A good their eugenic schemes define
for the galaxy. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Lets take a look at one more creature from HotL2 before we close up shop for the afternoon. The Bleakmoon Tyrant first appeared in 2009's Galaxy Command as the iconic setting bad guy. For this revision, I choose great stock art from One Man Studios/Critical Hit Studios. Mechanically, the revised Bleakmoon Tyrant fights like a combination of Darksied and obscure 80s cartoon baddie Mon-Starr (from <i>Silverhawks</i>). He's another high-level adversary, somebody to wade through as a final 'mini-boss' before standing up to campaign defining adversaries like Artemis or Genesis. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">As
a full round action, the Bleakmoon Tyrant can empower a willing ally with
cosmic potency that bestows the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fiendish</i>
and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Giant</i> simple templates upon that
creature. This transformation lasts for 24 hours or until the ally is slain.
The Bleakmoon Tyrant can empower up to 35 HD worth of allies with this ability
per day. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">A corona of strange gravitic effects surrounds the
Bleakmoon Tyrant at all times. Anyone who ends their turn within 30 ft of the
Bleakmoon Tyrant suffers 4d6 Force damage and is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">slowed</i> for as long as they remain in the aura and for 1 round after
leaving it. A successful DC 41 FORT Save halves the Force damage and negates
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">slowed</i> condition, but this save
must be repeated for each round of exposure. </span></span></span></div>

attack action, the Bleakmoon Tyrant can fire a lance of burning crimson light
from his dark gaze. This is a ranged touch attack with a 20,000 ft maximum
range and no range increment. The target is severely debilitated on a hit,
losing all forms of Damage Reduction, Spell Resistance or Powered Resistance as
well as all forms of Energy Resistance or Energy Immunity. This loss remains in
place for a maximum of 5 rounds, with the target gaining a DC 41 WILL Save at
the end of each round to end the effect early. </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The Bleakmoon Tyrant is one
of the most dangerous and ambitious cosmic warlords to ever have emerged from
the churning, hyper-Darwinistic cauldron of the innermost reaches of Phallus
Space. Over the last ten millennia or so, the Bleakmoon Warlord has carved out
a sphere of influence and power stretching across endless parsecs of crowded,
teeming and hazardous space. The Tyrant’s frightful, cosmos-rattling power and
imperial ambitions has attracted the attentions of even the Old Gods, and it is
testament to the Bleakmoon Tyrant’s tactical acumen that Their attention has
not eradicated him. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The Bleakmoon Tyrant is a
slaver without compare and without mercy. The Tyrant is a specialized dealer in
unique and exotic Lifespawn slaves, mind-warped and modelocked Battlechangers
and other highly valuable prey. The Tyrant maintains a network of space
pirates, slavers, star-criminals, mercenaries and xeno-horrors stretching
across galaxies and spanning multiple planes of existence. The Tyrant rules
from his redoubt on the fortified moon Bleakmoon, a skull-like, crater-scarred
world under the dying, crimson light of one of the Phallus’ myriad captured
suns. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The Bleakmoon Tyrant’s
origins and true nature are unknown, as the immortal Tyrant is known only by
his gleaming armor, the color of blood. Thought the Tyrant’s gender is
unverified, common rumor holds that the Tyrant is a male, likely of either the
potent Singular or Genesis bloodlines. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The Bleakmoon Tyrant truly lives up to his name. Though
a tactical genius, he is prone to underestimating his enemies, and enjoys
sadistically taunting his foes or torturing them rather than killing them out-right.
His child-like rages and melancholy are legendary, and woe to any underling who
brings him bad news. Not only does the Tyrant shoot the messenger, he usually
wipes out their entire</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">bloodline for good measure. The Tyrant is a petty
sadist, who makes excellent use of both his spell-like abilities, more
conventional tortures and the skills of entire worlds of slave-breakers to
destroy his slaves mentally and spiritually while reshaping their physicality
to his needs. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The Bleakmoon Tyrant is an immense armored biped clad
head to toe in blood red cyber-armor forged from exotic, ultra-dense
star-steel. The narrow slit of the Tyrant’s helm reveals pulsing red light with
the exact radiation signature of the dying star that Bleakmoon itself orbits.
The Bleakmoon Tyrant is a joyful and dangerous combatant, a crimson blur of
death and pain wielding twin mono-molecular axes and firing optic blasts capable
of scuttling a military corvette. His electronically modulated voice is a
demonic snarl of hatred. </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">It’s been
about a month since I last posted. Partly that’s because for the last year or
so I’ve been working at a local college as a janitor for my ‘civilian’ job. The
pay’s decent and I’ve been getting decent benefits, including medical and
dental. Dental was a big advantage a few weeks ago, as I ended up having some
teeth pulled. That was mentally, physically, and financially a blow: I’m
terrified of dental surgery and it’d been years since I’d been to one. Plus,
just the physicality of the surgery was pretty miserable, when I left the
dentist, I felt like I’d been in a life and death struggle, just poisoned by
fear and adrenaline, shaky for days. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Plus, even
with the dental insurance, my copay took a big chunk out of my discretionary
funds, saving and art budget. So a couple of projects got delayed. (On a
happier note, a toy fair in San Antonio took up another chunk of change but to
more enjoyable ends, as I picked up about 200 dollars worth of random
Transformers, including some nice G1 catches.) Add to that, the fact I’ve been
either at work or at home and haven’t really felt like posting means I’ve been
unfortunately silent. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">However,
I’ve not been idle and I’ll be releasing a new monster book with between 45-50
new creatures either this weekend or early next week. This will be <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Horrors of the
Lifechain Volume II</span></b>, introducing a host of dangerous new Lifespawn
and space-themed monsters, including unique riffs on some of my favorite sci-fi
and fantasy monstrosities. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There's a few creatures I'll be
commissioning original artwork for, but most of the new monsters will be
specifically designed around an existing piece of stock art. Others are being
illustrated with either artwork that went unused from previous projects, whil a
few are few pieces of repurposed art. I'm also planning to include a ton of new
monsters usable against Anthro and Battlechanger characters, specifically,
tying into those cultures backstories and taking advantage of their specific
weaknesses. I want to specifically offer thematic bad guys to players and GMs
who've picked up either <i>Fursona Unleashed </i>or <i>Battlechangers:
Ironworks. </i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So lets take a look at a pair of
the new creatures you’ll meet up in this upcoming sourcebook as well as the

<i><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> <span style="color: red;">The first, the Eradica, was a pretty fun critter to design. I
based it on the giant insectoid death-machines that made up the Ga Lak Tus
swarm in Warren Ellis' <u>Ultimate Galactus </u>trilogy. I found a cool stock
illustration from Jacob Blackmon of Purple Duck Games that reminded me of the
Ga Lak Tus bugs, so I included this monstrosity. I think they fit in pretty
well with the other Lifespawn. The fact I was able to use this creature to
reskin and repurpose one of the neatest new monsters in Paizo’s <u>Bestiary III</u>
was just gravy. </span></span></i><br />

</span>These wraiths are not under the Eradica’s direct control, as the Eradica

under any circumstance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>Nature </u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Eradica are
legendary and deeply feared Lifespawn who have extinguished as many
civilizations as there are captive stars orbiting the Phallus. These nearly
mindless, instinct-driven genocide machines are compelled by the Singular’s
unknowable will– worlds where other Lifespawn bloodlines predominate, or whose
actions attract the Singular’s dreaming attention – are scoured bare by their
great hordes. Such swarms can eclipse a sun as they descend into the killing
zone. Repelling an Eradica swarm is a task for the greatest and most powerful
Lifespawn paragons, and only if the entire might of the system unites behind
their champions. Few are up to the task.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Eradica are the
harbingers of even worse things. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tzitzimitl</i>
(B3) often arrive on a world in the dark hours when the Eradica’s presence
triggers an exponentially growing undead plague. The Tzitzimitl finishes the
work the swarm began, extinguishing all life on the world and utterly
destroying the biosphere. Left in the swarm’s wake is a dead, broken and
scorched world, a planetary tomb haunted by the ghosts of billions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Eradica are enormous
bio-mechanical insects who stand more than 30 ft high at the thorax. Their
hulls are a gleaming, steely black, freezing cold to the touch. Their swollen,
fleshly abdomen pulse with sickly milk-light and a similar radiance glows at
the widest portion of their long, razored wings. The creature’s head is a rough
triangle of soulless compound eyes, proboscis and mandibles. </span></div>

imitate a mid-sized cargo or military starship, including mimicking
technological and emission signatures such as reactor radiation, IFF transponders

monsters use iron ores stripped from micrometeorites to sculpt an intricate
shell around themselves, an innocuous facade to draw prey into their clutches.
Early Scorpion Mirage imitated small ore-rich asteroids, feeding on prospectors
and their ships when they came to mine.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">

As

wells
of cunning. Today, they grow shells mimicking small space-cruisers and
single-pilot star fighters. Bioreactors in the Mirage’s guts manufacture
radiation signatures similar to those generated by a starship in distress. The
creatures can easily mimic common galactic languages, and demonstrate a
facility for spacer jargon and military flight protocols. Scorpion Mirages are
cunning imitators who enjoy stringing prey along, playing out the con that
they’re just another passing vessel. </div>

Beneath the shell, the vaguely arthropodal creature is a horrible medley of
sword-like talons and intricate, multilayered and interlaced mouthparts. It
raises its mil-spec ion pulse cannons like a charging scorpion before killing,
an obvious source for their Terran codename. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
Scorpion
Mirages hunt for pleasure as often as they do for the rare-earth minerals they
need to fuel the bio-reactors in their guts. Most enjoy the game of luring a
passing starship in to investigate an interesting ‘derelict’ or pretending to
be a ship in distress to gain emergency landing clearance at a space dock.
Scorpion Mirages particularly enjoy being brought aboard a larger vessel- they
might allow spacers to investigate their disguised insides for hours, only
dropping the disguise once their prey realize something isn’t adding up about
the mystery starship they’d brought aboard. Scorpion Mirages usually leave at
least a few crew alive to spread their legend… though they kill everybody else
and if possible destroy the vessel or station entirely. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
Scorpion
Mirages delight in making huge sectors of space too risky to navigate, and love
destabilizing galactic trade. If an especially nasty masquerade or especially
juicy kill can spark an intergalactic war, so much the better. The creatures
are unfortunately common in the Steel Sector, and the Freegear and Tyrakron
governments alike have huge Fuelon bounties on the hulls of these sadistic
living machines. </div>

based around thinly disguised, futuristic riffs on sleazy 1970s/80s culture and
sci-fi tropes. It’s been a ton of fun to write, and I’ve got about ¾ of the art
I need for the project already. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Right now, I’ve got a ton of new
spells and magic items gathered together under a single file-name “otherverse
occult”. It includes generic, high-fantasy content, items and spells culled
from my various Pathfinder releases over the years. Other elements are my take
on a variety of historic and public domain artifacts and myths from European paganism.
It also features a ton of Anthro specific magic items, Battlechanger spells and
magic items, including a ton of awesome artifacts as well as Lifespawn stuff.
I’ve also collected every ‘occult-tech’ spell and item I’ve imagined to date
for the Choicers of Otherverse America. </span></div>

confusing file without a central theme, or perhaps too many competing themes.
If I put it out as is, it’ll be a big, 300+ page mess. A beautiful mess, but
still a mess. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">However, the various threads make
an interesting whole. I can introduce items, for example, from Norse Mythology,
which in addition to playing nicely in any generic Pathfinder RPG campaign,
also look and feel good in the hand of an Asatru hero from Otherverse America,
or fit well with the parts of the Lifechain that I want to look, feel and play
like Jack Kirby’s <i>Asgard</i>. And since Anthros, Battlechangers and
Lifespawns are iconic Otherverse races, with a pan-dimensional presence, it
makes sense to gather their ‘toys’ all in one place. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So maybe mixing and matching
elements ends up producing a tasty dish. Whether this book is one
mega-sourcebook or 3-4 smaller books is still to be determined, but in either
case, you should be seeing the content pretty soon. </span></div>

Well, guys two major new furry releases just hit on www.rpgnow.com. First up, <i><span style="color: red;"><b>Fursona Unleashed</b>,</span> </i>the long and patiently awaited revision of the Fursona system to the modern <i>Pathfinder Role Playing Game</i> ruleset is complete!<br />
<br />
Fursona Unleashed topped out at 107 pages and as you can see feature one of the nicest covers Anthony Cournoyer has ever provided for me. I'm currently working on a bestiary specific to the implied backstory for the Anthros presented in this book, as well as an expanded grimorie/magic item book. I already have a ton of usable art for both, and I'm actively writing both books right now. I'll do more work on one, or both sourcebooks, later this evening, after I post this.<br />
<br />
Probably the currently-unnamed 'furry bestiary' first, because I was really really impressed with Dreamscarred Press' <i>Psionic Bestiary, </i>and the way it expanded upon the possibilities of their core psionics book. Like <i>Psionics Unleashed, </i>this sourcebook adds a new rules element to the game, and I want to build a specific monster book that takes full advantage of that new rules element.<br />
<br />
Second, Keith McBlane has just put up a print edition of his wonderful and highly popular <i><b><span style="color: red;">Fursona 5E</span></b></i> sourcebook! The first <i>Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition</i> product we've produced now has a print option!<br />
<br />
So no matter what your preferred game system is, you're going to have some furry heroes to keep you company this week. Enjoy!<br />CHRIS<br />

Some templates are based around common furry tropes or game play elements: there's a Neo-Animalist template that basically turns you into that fucker Snowball from <i>Animal Farm</i>, for instance, and the sexy Eroticized template works great for social interaction/espionage experts like bards and rogues.<br />
<br />
The <i>First Wave Colonizer </i>owes its genesis to the fairly obscure <i>Justifiers </i>RPG, an indy game from the early 90s featuring a hardbitten crew of Anthro explorers. I actually downloaded the game a couple years ago, and it's pretty nice. Even though it wasn't a specifically 'furry' work, I think the excellent sci-fi comic, <i>Alien Legion </i>was an influence- the two works had a very similar feel. Systemwise, <i>Justifiers </i>had a lot in common with the Palladium house system, and had similarly high quality (though badly scanned) art. The Colonizer template is my homage to this classic furry game, while the War Rover armor, below, is a tip of the hat to the shortlived and almost completely forgotten 90s toon, <i>Road Rovers.</i><br />
<br />
The pics accompanying this post are the cover for the <i>Justifiers RPG, </i>and a John Picot image I'll likely use to illustrate the Colonizers in <i>Fursona Unleashed</i>. <i> </i> <br />
<br />
Enjoy,<br />
CHRIS<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Especially tough,
self-reliant and bold Anthros make excellent first wave colonists, taming
hostile worlds so less rugged Anthros and non-genetically engineered humanoids
can then follow. First Wave Colonizers are often genetically engineered by
terraforming and aerospace mega-corps, custom grown for the mission at hand.
Often, these bold Anthro explorers are not free- their creation, early
development and specialized technical training are all debts they must repay to
their makers, leaving them in near-perpetual indenture. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">First Wave Colonizers are
tough and blessed with a degree of common sense and environmental awareness
that other Anthros can’t match, but they’re more comfortable out on the rugged
frontier than in the cities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Colonizer Training (EX) </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">First Wave Colonizers are
given a top-notch technical education, which gives them the diverse skill set
needed by a growing colony. The First Wave Colonizer receives a +2 template
bonus on the following skills: Craft (mechanical and structural), Heal, Pilot,
Survival. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">When making Survival checks
to find sustenance in the wild, the First Wave Colonizer’s minimum die result
is 10. Treat results of 1-9 as 10 instead. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">First Wave Colonizers are
proficient with simple and martial firearms, and gain Personal and Advanced
Firearms proficiency. They are also proficient with all armor with the Space
Suit property. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Indenture Contract (EX) <br />
</span></b><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">First Wave Colonizers are considered
indentured to the mega-corp that created them. They gain the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hunted</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Traceable</i> disadvantages, without gaining additional Gifts of Nature
for them, and are considered employees of their creator mega-corp, and must
undertake potentially hazardous missions on the company’s behalf. The First
Wave Colonizer can buy off their contract, by repaying the company the cost of
their creation (plus interest and fees), removing these disadvantages and
becoming a fully free sentient. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The total cost of the
Anthro’s indenture is 25,000 gp plus 1,000 gp x the sum total of all the
Anthro’s ability score modifiers. Add 5,000 gp if the Anthro has spellcaster or
psionic manifester levels. If the Anthro takes actions that cost their creator
money, such as by destroying or damaging corporate facilities or equipment
during a mission, the associated costs are added to his indenture. </span></div>

First Wave Colonizers are always size Medium, though Colonizers with the
Quadruped racial trait can instead be size Large. This standardization of size
and body morphology saves the megacorps’ some money when creating and equipping
their Anthro explorers.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 65.25pt 89.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">A variety of Purpose-Giving Collars exist, all designed to bend an
Anthro’s body, mind and soul towards a particular way of life. Sometimes these
items are marks of slavery, forced onto an Anthro against their will in order
to transform that creature into something he or she is not. In other times and
places, Purpose-Giving Collars are badges of office, willingly donned by
Anthros of a particular caste. Style and coloration vary wildly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 65.25pt 89.25pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 65.25pt 89.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">All Purpose-Giving Collars function in the same manner. Once donned by
a creature of the Anthro subtype, the wearer gains a specific Anthro Template
encoded in the Collar, immediately losing existing Anthro Templates, if any,
and applying the Template’s ability score modifiers and gaining its traits.
Once donned, the Purpose-Giving Collar effectively fuses into the creature’s
body, and cannot be removed without <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">remove
curse </i>or similar magic. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 65.25pt 89.25pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The appearance of a particular Collar is usually a clue to which Anthro
Template the Collar will apply. Some templates are rarely, if ever offered as a
Collar. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Most First Wave Colonizers are issued standardized field uniforms that
contain everything they might need when venturing into unknown, hostile
ecosystems. Colonizer Armor is a deep navy coverall reinforced with
silvery-grey hardened polymer plating. The Anthro’s megacorporate patron has
their crest emblazoned on the breast plate or spinal plating, along with an identifier
code unique to each Anthro. The Colonizer Armor allows the Anthro wearer to
farther indenture themselves to their megacorp by taking advantage of nano-tech
enhanced ‘company store’. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Once genetic engineering is weaponized, every nation-state and NGO that
can afford it begins custom-breeding Anthro super-soldiers. War Rover Armor is
an American armor system fairly typical of the gear provided to trusted,
battle-tested Anthro operatives. War Rover is a matte gunmetal grey hardsuit
with a burst of patriotic red, white and blue detailing painted on the left
pauldron. The modular armor is designed to be worn by a variety of Anthros of
different sizes and breeds, though the armor is especially prized by uplifted
canids. </span></div>
