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.

81 Illustrations

So Danny Seedhouse, a good friend and active TME contributor, directed me to this great indiegogo project where Legion McRae is going to cast post-apocalyptic 28mm miniatures  I signed up for $17 at the chance to get three mutant lizards. Mind you what they show above in the concept art above are classic Gamma World critters, which I love, too. Mutant Epoch gamers could perhaps use them at their tables as well so I absolutely  think this is something you all should know about.

 I'll also post this on the private Society of Excavator's Forum.

Post-Apocalyptic Art Thread started at ENworld.org

Just a brief post today. I wanted to let you all know that we are starting a Post-Apocalyptic Art thread over at the ever popular and well populated ENworld.org. I've invited some other publishers and indie authors to post their imagery there in a slow trickle. The idea is to bring awareness to the PA genre, and expose gamers to The Mutant Epoch and other PA games.

     The art doesn't have to be just from published games or books, and is open to emerging and hobby artists as well. We are more after the spirit of the post-apocalyptic genre than polished illustrations. Believe me, some of the stuff I draw even for The Mutant Epoch isn't always as polished as I'd like, and looking back at earlier inks often makes me cringe and wish I could change this or that  about an image. So if you've got something you'd like to share, or even just want to stop by and make a comment, it sure would sure be appreciated!
    The one thing I ask is that you only post stuff you have the rights to publish so no scans from old Gamma World books and stuff as there are legal issues I d on't want to be involved with. Although, a companion thread of classic PA art would be great fun if somebody wanted to start something like that at rpg.net or enworld, etc.

 Here's the link: http://www.enworld.org/forum/miscellaneous-geek-talk-media-lounge/330579-post-apocalyptic-art-thread.html

 Thanks,
Will

Crossroads Region Gazetteer Art set 1

The first stack of freshly inked art for The Crossroads Region book is now done, getting scanned and placed in the huge book's layout. Where are we at with this? Well, the first 100 pencil  illustrations are done and about half are inked. As there are 300 illustrations plus more than 30 maps, we still have a fair ways to go. Thing is, this is a full time gig for me and I am entirely focused on this book. What does this mean? Maybe I suffer from an over stimulated sense of optimism, as always, but if all goes well we can release the book in mid to late November?   

 So, our main gallery for this book will permanently reside at our website at http://www.outlandarts.com/TME-crossroads-region-art.htm where we currently have three pages of imagery.  If you want a better view of these and other images, I recommend you check out that gallery. 

 In other news we are just now releasing issue 13 of our newsletter, Outland Arts Insider, so if you aren't on the mailing list for that, and want to be, then go here.

 Now here's the art... enjoy...
