'Tis the month when all the kids get out of school and wreak havoc on everything. Now, it's always encouraging to get them into a game, but there are those kids who'd rather eat a bug than do anything that you enjoy.

So we can all agree that children, especially in groups, can be evil.

Which can be a great plot point. You can use a gaggle of them as
-a gang of thieves
-a group of mutant aliens
-little monsters
-petulant godlings
-wannabe detectives or heroes
-effective fighters (or not so effective fighters)
-victims.

So next time you're stuck, throw some kids at the adventurers and see if any stick.

Here's this month's releases.

Sins of the Father, a Monster Hunters Adventure

David Caffee, J. M. Perkins

Avalon Games is happy to make your life a bit more horrible...

Seven centuries ago, the Christian kingdoms of Denmark, Poland, and Sweden conducted a series of crusades against the pagan lands around the shores of the Baltic Sea. These kingdoms were aided by Catholic military orders from Germany. When the Latgalian tribe decided to side with the crusaders, their leaders converted from the Eastern Orthodox Church to Roman Catholicism. However, there were those among the tribe that still clung to their traditional religion and refused baptism. The medicine man, Izcacus, was one of the pagans who resisted the crusaders, and he paid a terrible price for it.
The party is tasked with traveling to a remote monastery in northern Europe. The Orletz Monastery sits high up in the mountains, near the place where the borders of the German and
Russian Empires meet. There are a number of reasons why the party might be making this journey. The hunters might be visiting the monastery at the request of one of the monks who resides in the hermitage, an anonymous plea for deliverance from an unnamed threat. They might also be there in search of ancient texts or holy relics said to be hidden in a sealed vault below the strcture. It is even possible that the hunters are investigating the monastery because they have heard rumors of supernatural activity in the area.

No matter the reason for the visit, once there the Hunters find danger and a deadly new foe, a vampire old and dangerous beyond belief...

Invasion
AVG 3100-2.0-In
11 Pages
6.99
A.J. Kenning
 
Ever since H.G. Wells published War of the Worlds in 1898, stories about invaders from other worlds are a staple of the science fiction genre. Numerous real-world panics have been created by people terrified by the idea of aliens coming to our planet with evil intent. Certainly there are also many stories about aliens who are peaceful, tolerant, and wise; these beings come to Earth with benign intentions, and often it is the humans who are the villains. Still, it is easy to understand why the prospect of encountering another species is so frightening. What if they are not benevolent? What if their society is not the epitome of advanced culture and enlightened values? In other words, what if they are just like us: flawed, violent, and willing to take what they want by force?

Human history is riddled with negative examples of contact between formerly isolated cultures. Rarely are these events a meeting of equals, and rarer still have the less technologically advanced cultures escaped assimilation, enslavement, or genocide. If one is aware of the Roman conquest of Europe, and the European conquest of the Americas, then how can one ignore the possibility that our first contact will be with an alien conquistador? Can we be sure that our otherworldly visitors will not be greedy, violent subjugators in the model of Columbus and Cortez?

Avalon Games is happy to announce the release of Infinite Futures 2.0!

Comic Book Adventures Preview #1
AVG 4100-CBA-Co-PV1
17 Pages
Robert Hemminger
Free!

Want to play a superhero RPG, but have no one around to game with? We can save you from your boredom.  It's here at last: a solo system for playing a comic-book superhero in an RPG.

Everything you need is supplied—the rules for running the game, battle tiles on which to fight the super brawls, exciting adventures and encounters, and hard choices to make that can affect the future of your hero.  It's all here: arch-foes, the helpless old lady caught in a bank robbery, aliens and monsters, super villains, and more!

Comic Book Adventures uses Avalon's popular Heroes Wear Masks RPG as the base for the system, which in turn is compatible with Pathfinder, so if you are familiar with that great RPG game engine, then you are already to go.  If you have yet to play Pathfinder or Heroes Wear Masks, then here is your opportunity to jump in.

So get ready, sew your costume together, grab your cape, and power up your energy beams. The city is in need of a hero and you must answer the call.

Comic Book Adventures provides all you need to get started in the core book: the rules needed to play, the charts needed to discover your adventures, and a Mini-Mission book full of premade adventures and encounters.  The system also comes with a record sheet, over 40 full-color battle tiles, and much, much more.

While the system is geared toward using Avalon's Heroes Wear Masks, you can, with a bit of tinkering, use just about any RPG system, so if you want you can play using your favorite superhero RPG and have just as much fun.

Even if you don't use the system as a solo game, there is all sorts of great stuff you can use in your standard group-based superhero game.  Invest in your gaming future, pick up a copy of Comic Book Adventures, and soar high into the sky.

In this preview we will look at the core system itself, and examine the all-important Patrol Chart and one of its results.
