Adamant is pleased to announce that we’re getting back to a regular release schedule — and, between now and the March 9th release of the big Mars-based movie, we’ll be releasing three new PDF adventures for MARS: our Savage Worlds setting of Sword-and-Planet adventure!.

The three adventures are: Sky-Tyrant of Mars, Blood Legacy of Mars, and Sell-Swords of Mars, and will be coming out over the next three weeks, one per week.

Check out our existing MARS PDF products by following the above link, or get the hardcover of the setting book via your local game store or from Adamant’s webstore.

Adamant products sell via the internet. We are “pirated” every day. Adamant would rather deal with unauthorized file sharing as we currently do — combating it with cost and convenience, and converting unauthorized users into customers and fans — than support a law which is nothing more than the latest attempt by corporations to put the genie back in the bottle and turn the internet into cable television, with controlled access and controlled content.

Simply put: The greatest leap forward in human interaction and communication since the Gutenberg Bible is more important than their business model — or ours, for that matter.

We urge you to please phone your Congressional Representatives and Senators today. Don’t email, as it will probably be auto-answered and ignored. Talk to someone. If you can, visit their local office. Tell them to oppose these laws.

Thank you.

The forum will be your central discussion site for all things FAR WEST — questions, comments, conversations and more. We just opened the place, so I expect that there will be some dust here and there, and things may change as we open new categories up as sub-forums, but for now, come on in, put yer feet up and enjoy yourself.

You’re free to talk about anything related to Far West here — the game, the books, the site, even related “inspirography” materials.

The forum also features a private subform for members of The Far West Society, our official fan membership community, available by subscription. If you’re not already a Society member, subscriptions are available over on the Far West Society page, for only $10.00 US for a six-month membership.

Thank you, and we look forward to talking with you!

Well, that’s the Sale — but what about the “Thanks-giveaway”?

This year, one randomly-drawn customer from the sales period will be chosen to receive a brand new Kindle Fire from Amazon, as well as a year’s subscription to Adamant’s ebook line, launching in 2012! Two further customers will each receive regular Kindles and a year’s subscription to the ebook line.

…as a special Thanksgiving treat, we are also pleased to announce that the BUCKAROO BANZAI ADVENTURE GAME Blue Blaze Pre-order is now open!

The FAR WEST Adventure Game is a tabletop RPG featuring blazing sixguns, over-the-top kung fu action and far-out steampunk inventions, where you and your friends can create the adventures of warriors who wander the Dust Road — fighting for their clans, their cause, the oppressed, or their own interests in an endless frontier that lies beyond the confines of civilization.

Explore the Thousand Mesas, Climb the peaks of the Eagle’s Claws, Walk the dangerous streets of Sedoa, the wicked city. Thwart the plans of the Steam Barons and the August Throne. Travel beyond the Last Horizon in an airship that stays aloft through control of the positive and negative furies that make up the entire world. All this and more await you in the Far West.
