Troopers from five warring factions stranded on the barren world of Tundari, cut off from your mother ships - will you survive? Can you regroup? Will you forge a truce with troopers from the other factions who are trapped on this planet with you? And what of the ancient secrets of the Xen race which once inhabited Tundari? This exciting new RPG from the creator of traditional fantasy RPG Omnifray uses a simple mix-and-match character generation system, five core stats and a d10+stat v. d10+stat core mechanic. Don your all-environments carapace and your hover pack, adjust your energy shield settings, pick up your plasma blast rifle, stride forth, explore and do battle!

Arion Games is pleased to announce two Paper Miniature releases just before Christmas.

The first is a set of Post-Apocalyptic figures, with road warriors, cops and other strange denizens of a future wasteland. In addition, this set also includes 8 vehicles that travel, and fight on, the long open roads.

The second set is a SciFi Artillery set. Packed with Heavy cannon, tanks, assault aircraft, turrets etc, and complete with 15 engineers to operate them, this set will really beef up the destructive power of your Futuristic army.

Available from our online store, YGN, RPGNow, E23 and Fantasy Download, both are priced at only $3.

The SKETCH system, a game designed to be adapated to any genre and setting, is now available as a free download from www.farsightgames.com. SKETCH games are designed for one-off, single night adventures, for when gaming groups are taking a break between campaigns, or if a few players want to do a fast off-the-cuff adventure with no intention of getting involved in a long campaign. The simplicity of the rules and character creation is such that a game can be set up in minutes. The rules are easy to use, requiring only the use of a single six-sided dice for all aspects of the game.

Postmortem Studios are having a Christmas sale over at RPGNow.com A special winter-holiday discount of 50% on everything with particular attention to Clipart Critters, the 100th of which was posted for sale today. The sale runs from now until New Year.

MACABRE

Yes, it’s that time of year when you can order your UK Role Players clothing - well, t-shirts and polo shirts. This year I’m working it a little differently (to save time for all concerned - mainly me though). Rather than everyone send me their details and me make a combined order, which is then sent to me for me to forward on to everyone, I’ve decided to cut out the middle-man… i.e., me! I’ve arranged it so you can order direct from the supplier (Pektek - the same company I’ve used for all my embroided clothing needs).

Yes, you heard right: you can get a paperback of the Collective Endeavour Journal for a mere £6 by following this link here: www.lulu.com/content/4703368. You can also download the PDF for free from RPGNow.

Hurry, while stocks last!*

* OK, the book is printed on demand so it’ll never be out of stock, but Collective Endeavour can’t guarantee how long we can offer this for £6.

Kithran spoted a nice little video on the BBC news website that might interest some people - from watching it it looks like it was all filmed at Gen Con UK so you could try the old game of trying to spot yourself.

Farsight Games, the people behind the ODDS ezine, have released their free roleplaying game, MACABRE. Utilising the SKETCH roleplaying system and only a single d6, MACABRE is a game about witchcraft.

Collective Endeavour have announced the release, at Dragonmeet, of an 88 page trade paperback Journal costing £6. This short collection contains a selection of excellent and exciting articles, relating to a variety of games. There are new rules, new setting elements, new characters, and above all, new ideas for use with some of the games they publish.

It took a lot longer than I expected (4.5 hours rather than 2 hours) but the changeover is finally finished! Aside from, what I think is, a nicer and easier on the eyes design, I’ve also created a group on Flickr for us all to share our photographs. Anyone can join, but I ask that only relevant pictures are added to the group. Basically, keep them role playing oriented. You can see that last four to be added in the sidebar - hurry up and add some or you’ll be stuck with looking at four pictures of me! The group can be found at http://www.flickr.com/groups/ukroleplayers.

A modern-day investigative scenario that has the potential to run from 2 to 4 hours depending on how quickly and easily the players decipher the clues.

So, I’m almost done with the changes. The forum is back up and running and I’m working away at putting everything in the right place here in the front-end. Let me know what you think

I’m going to be taking the website offline for a period tomorrow night (starting at around 7.30pm) while I make some changes. It shouldn’t take too long (a couple of hours or so I hope) and you should, hopefully, like the changes
