Daring Entertainment: 2010 Publishing Plans
Happy New Year! With a little down time from the day job, I thought I’d take today and post an update on our 2010 publishing plans.
The Armageddon Virus/War of the Dead: The zombie outbreak setting is now in full production for 2010, starting off with The Armageddon Virus.
The Armageddon Virus is a 52-week adventure/campaign series for Savage Worlds, starting the player characters at ground-zero of the first stages of the outbreak of Walking Dead. Designed to be an ongoing campaign, with a new part released every Monday, this series will take player-characters through the first encounters with the walking dead, providing plenty of survivor horror, mystery, and conspiracy. Written as 10-12 page adventures for $2.99 each, the first adventure will also contain Gamemaster information on the various types of zombies, background information, and new Edges and Hindrances. The series will be written as 4 Chapters, each one 13-Adventures (roughly 3 months) long, and concluding with a series of global events that set the stage for the War of the Dead follow-up.
War of the Dead will be the first setting book for the zombie outbreak. Taking place after The Armageddon Virus, it drops the characters into a world where governments have fallen, cities have become survivor kingdoms, and the most dangerous threat is not just the Walking Dead . . . but fellow man.
It all begins in June 2010! The Armageddon Virus will be available in PDF format exclusively through RPGNow.com. Each 13-adventure chapter will be uploaded all at once with an automated release date every Monday. We’ll also be offering a discounted subscription service for each 13-adventure package.
(Production Note: The first 13-adventure chapter is nearly finished and playtested.)
The Daring Action Block also continues this summer for Savage Worlds, with the first episode of the GET Into Action ongoing series launching in June 2010. Season 1 launches as the player-characters are assigned to a mission that sees them ultimately involved in a raid against a major STORM base, where they first encounter both Lord Tempest and his second-in-command. Although each episode is self-contained (just like the cartoons of the old days), several subplots introduced in the first couple of adventures will carry on throughout the 1st Season, leading into an epic clash between Global Elite Tactical and STORM in an American city in the season finale!
In addition to GET Into Action, Metabots and Ecto-Hunters will also debut. I can’t say much about those 2 series just yet, as the co-designers and head writers for them are still working hard on getting the Season 1 storylines established. But both will definitely be launching in late Summer and Fall of 2010.
(Production Note: The first 3 adventures for GET Into Action are finished and in playtesting.)
Rounding out the Daring Action Block for 2010 is the upcoming GET Into Battle line. GET Into Battle will include collections of figure-flats, 3d cardstock vehicles, and location tiles. The cardstock miniatures can be used for normal GET Into Action play, or for the GET Into Battle scenarios we’ll be publishing for Pinnacle Entertainment’s Showdown rules.
And finally, 2010 will see the release of Daring Supers, updates to the Dawn of Legends setting, and an ongoing campaign series. Those 3 items I’ll talk more about later in the year, as they are deep in playtesting at the moment, and I don’t want to say anything that might be changed by the time playtesting is finished!
And that’s what’s in store for 2010!
Take care! And here's to a good 2010 for everyone!
