[GWG] The Savage World of Solomon Kane

[b]The Savage World of Solomon Kane[/b]
In the spring of 2007, Pinnacle Entertainment Group, in conjunction with Paradox Entertainment, Inc. will produce "The Savage World of Solomon Kane™ Roleplaying Game." God's angry warrior, Solomon Kane™ is Robert E. Howard's (Conan, Kull, Bran Mak Morn and many other incredible characters) most unusual creation. Black-clad and steely tempered, Kane bestrides demon-infested Africa and the war-torn Europe of Queen Elizabeth I to dispense relentless justice with the point of his sword. Pirates, vampires, mad queens, winged Furies, rapacious bandits, the berserk warriors of lost Atlantis - evil cannot escape justice from Solomon's slashing rapier.

Pinnacle's CEO Shane Lacy Hensley is a long-time fan of the Kane stories: "Our game Savage Worlds is in large part inspired by the classic pulps, with my personal favorite Solomon Kane™ at the absolute top of the list. I've read and re-read Solomon's adventures for years and am thrilled to be doing this project. As you know, Pinnacle isn't known for licenses, but this is one that's very near and dear to our hearts. We feel this is a perfect match for our talents, our history of historical horror, and our game system."

The Savage World of Solomon Kane™ will be a full-color, 256-page book, written by Shane Lacy Hensley and Paul Wade-Williams, with a cover by Matt Wilson of Privateer Press. It will contain the award-winning Savage Worlds rules, background information on Kane and his adventures, all new locations, scenarios, and dark secrets for heroes to explore. New setting rules reflecting the incredible conviction of Kane are included, as well as a wealth of character ideas appropriate to Solomon's 16th century world of horror and adventure, and dozens of scenarios inspired by the Puritan's own savage tales.

[b]GenCon 2006[/b]
Well it's GenCon time and Shane will be there signing and talking excitedly about our big Solomon Kane news.

Our convention heroes, Chaos Steve and Evil Mike will be there too, running Savage Worlds sessions throughout the weekend in room 208. Stop by and say hi, and get in on a game if you can, there should be room there for pick-up games too, if you fancy running a scenario to add to the savagery! Ask them nicely and they might even give you a discount voucher for purchases at the Pinnacle Entertainment Group/Studio2 booth!

We're in booth #1141: it's in the Quiet Zone near the back, straight back from the front doors. Shane will be splitting his time between there and booth #309, the Cryptic Studios booth and he's happy to sign books, pose for pictures, or talk about any of the exciting products we've got in the works!

Simon and Wiggy will be working hard in the meantime, silently fuming that they don't get to go, and looking forward to the Gathering of Savages in November!

If you're going to GenCon, have a great time, and keep it Savage!

If you can't make it to Indy this year, we've got some goodies to check out while GenCon is on. Dave Blewer has the latest of his Deadlands One Sheets ready - it's called Lynched and you can check it out here. We've also got a cool alternative character generation method for Deadlands Reloaded that harkens back to the classic days. Take a look at Yuri's card-based character generation.
