BRING ON THE BAD GUYS!

Villains are crucial to superheroes. They don’t just provide antagonism – they demonstrate exactly what it is that makes the hero a hero. They highlight the strengths of the character and stand in direct contrast to everything the character represents. The best heroes are often defined by their nemesis.

The first supplement for the ICONS Superpowered Roleplaying game, THE VILLAINOMICON provides Game Masters with a rogues’ gallery of dozens of villains ready to use — but it doesn’t stop there. The supplement provides new powers, new specialties, optional rules and dozens of adventure hooks– making THE VILLAINOMICON more than just a “monster manual” for superhero gaming.

Pre-Order customers will not only receive the book when it ships in October, but will also receive a complimentary advance PDF copy when the file is sent to the printer in September, and will also receive an exclusive PDF adventure for ICONS written by Gareth-Michael Skarka!

The Pre-Order of The Villainomicon is available for $29.99 plus $7.95 shipping and handling.

What kid raised in recent generations hasn’t pretended to be a superhero at some point: worn a cape, “flown” around, bounced imaginary bullets or shot “blasts of power” from hands or eyes? Why not? After all, the superhero is the perfect modern fantasy: powerful, respected, and loved by the public, but with a message of responsibility, duty, truth, and justice that appeals to parents as well as kids. In countless comic books (and now “graphic novels”), cartoons, and live-action television shows and films, superheroes continue to thrill and capture our imagination while also celebrating some of our better qualities. Who wouldn’t want to be a hero?

With ICONS, you can be!

Steve Kenson, the designer of the best-selling Mutants & Masterminds delivers a superpowered new role-playing game, inspired by the fast-playing old-school games and the new generation of narrative role-play! Within its pages are complete rules for character creation, abilities and powers, random adventure generation, a rogue’s gallery of villains, a complete adventure and all the superheroic action you can handle!

ICONS is now available for $29.99 plus $7.95 shipping and handling.

Welcome to Mars!

Not Mars as it is – airless, most likely lifeless, with only the faintest hints of what might have once been a damp, if not necessarily lush and living, world billions of years in the past. No, this is Mars as it should be and as it was once imagined to be – an ancient, dying, but not yet dead world, a world where a vast canal network reaches from pole to pole, bringing water and life to vast and fantastic cities. A Mars where albino apes run a vast empire in the last surviving jungle, a world where warrior tribes of Green Martians raid the outlying cities of the canal dwellers, a world where, in places dark and quiet and forgotten beneath the surface, ancient and terrible intellects plan dark and dire deeds.

It is a Mars of sky-corsairs, of duels with blade and blaster, of vile plots, fantastic inventions, daring rescues, arena battles, and spectacular stunts. It is a Mars where ancient cities can be discovered and their lost treasures plundered, a Mars where a trek across the dry sea bottoms can yield amazing discoveries, where terrible monsters roam the rocky wastes.

It is the Mars of pulp fiction and Saturday morning serials.

It is now yours.

The Sword-and-Planet genre comes to Savage Worlds! Adamant Entertainment’s setting of action, intrigue and adventure beneath the Moons of Mars — previously only available for d20 – is now available in a brand-new edition for Savage Worlds.

MARS is available for $34.95 plus $7.95 shipping and handling.
