Danger:: Spikebacks in the area

Hi Wastelanders,

 If you haven't already heard, we've got a new free Creature of the Apocalypse for ya...

The size of a grizzly bear, the vaguely humanoid Spikeback is a genetically engineered bio-weapon of old - which has evolved.

Now, exhibiting an occasional cybernetic implant or mutation, they move about the wastes of The Mutant Epoch in packs, and gorge on the flesh of other living things. Bad tempered, ravenous and cruel, this freaky creature of the apocalypse is our third nasty in this series.

Enjoy!

rpgnet welcomes William McAusland (Mutant Epoch) 4/29/2013 24:00 GMT!

Hi All, 
Dan Davenport will be interviewing me tonight on the rpgnet chat from 7-9 central time in the USA (5-7 Pacific for me). I've never done anything like this before. Sure hope some of you can join in and come say hello during the event. I guess they will be asking questions about The Mutant Epoch, RPGs, how the game came about, and so on. Should be interesting. 


If you can't make it, you can post questions beforehand and learn more about the show here:

Have a great day,

Will

The NEW improved Mutant Epoch forum is here!

Shamelessly cloned from our home page:

April 23 2013

BIG NEWS!

 The all  new The Mutant Epoch forum is here!

We've gone public!

New to The Mutant Epoch? Well, previously, only Society of Excavator members could get into our forums as they were a member's only deal. That's all changed. All the old forum posts have been copy-pasted over to an all new forum, reorganized, enhanced and open to all.

Of course, there is a password protected SOE only board where, as an incentive to get SOE members to enlist, we've made a forum only, free beast ready for you to download!

Members can get the Muto-Harpy PDF exclusively at the new forum's Society of Excavators Members Only Area.

The password to the private area of the forum is easy to remember. It’s the same as what you used to sign in to the members area at this website!

Not a member yet? Bought a copy of the Mutant Epoch hub rules? 

Then learn more about The Society of Excavator's here.

Best regards,

 Will McAusland

Hi guys! Just to let those of you who connect with us through this blog know, that we released another free PDF. See details below   

In other news, we are setting up an all new forum that will have mainly public access, as well as a private SOE member's only posting area. I am going to try and copy paste much of the great player created content and  questions from the old forum to the new site. Stand by as we will announce the new forum in an upcoming newsletter, and here.

         Also, yes, we are still working very hard on the Crossroads Region Gazetteer. I spend my days editing the final layout, penciling the last 100 drawings, or inking the first 200 penciled images. The 33 maps will still take a heck of a lot of work, too. I don't even want to speculate on  when this 400+ page book will be out, but am striving toward early June. All the books lined up after the Crossroads book will be between 90 and 200 pages, and those are written and many in layout... so there is a ton of content coming out this summer and fall.

Now to the Free PDF ; which you can also get on our website in the SOE area, here

 The Red Harvester is so named for its ability to appear from seemingly nowhere and reap a bounty of flesh.

Welcome to The Mutant Epoch, where humankind is no longer the top of the food chain. The Red Harvester is our second free Creature of the Apocalypse, and worse then the first critter we made available and defiantly not for the squeamish. 

With the success of the Sickle Foot, we at Outland Arts plan to release more of these nasty freaks to delight and horrify your players. Our third mutant monster is the Spikeback.

While designed using the Outland System Game mechanic stats, any game master worth his or her title can easily port the stat block over into whatever PA game system being used at his or her table.

 We just added a free PDF to RPGnow.com and DrivethruRPG.com. Its a 4 page file featuring a wicked new mutant creature, the Sickle Foot. We're just trying something new ahead of our upcoming newsletter release. In that release we will also present this creature and the PDF link for the SOE membership.

 Stay tuned for more mutants.

RPG Book Review: Beyond Red Crater

Beyond Red Crater Released!

Whether you’re new to the Mutant Epoch RPG or not, Beyond Red Crater is a challenging, low rank adventure which sees the characters venture across an inhospitable wasteland and into an ancient dome. While taking great risks, braving new horrors and immersing themselves in the middle of long standing conflicts, surviving excavators will unearth lost knowledge, potent relics, and startling ordeals.

Here is the official blurb:

You and your fellow excavators have reunited after six years and returned to the wasteland. Following a tattered map you set out in search of vengeance, glory and mighty relics in an ancient facility; a dome beyond Red Crater.

In this fast paced adventure, characters reunite to fulfill an old request. Their journey takes them passed a cursed crater, through ruins and ravines, over a river and across a salt flat to the foot of a concrete edifice. Therein, ancient technology and terrible beasts resist their advance as they uncover ancient treasures, twisted schemes, and nameless perils within the mysterious dome. 
For 6 to 10 first rank characters, this module isn’t setting specific and can either be dropped into a GM’s own campaign region or take place in the Crossroads Region by substituting Rust Watch for the fortified town of Pitford.

Included in this 132 page book are

81 Illustrations

6 maps

8 Player Handouts

2 New relics

1 new creature

8 Pre-generated player characters

13 NPCs
