In all honesty, I had not been looking too closely at Extreme Earth because my interest in an Iron Age setting was not terribly high.

My opinion has COMPLETELY FLIP-FLOPPED after reading the sample chapter!!! This looks very cool! And talk about nice layout, art and maps!

Well done! You have gained another adherent.

I agree. The more that Joe and Jon have shared with me, while working on conversions, the more that I have been falling in love with this setting!

character preview!
Here we see a few more laid-out pages from the book that introduce us to Stockage - the armored wonder of Extreme Earth

We've got less than 2500 to go with 3 weeks left. Let's make this happen

STOCKADE, the hotrod of the Guardians, is one of the Extreme Earth's superstars. He is rash and brash and a hog for the spotlight! This "hero" is an example of one of the few paragons of power in the setting. Unfortunately, this sample presentation has a couple of mistakes.

All the game stat text, from the skills on down, is from another character. Here is STOCKADE's correct information:
SKILLS
Drive 4 (Steering), Pilot 2 (Evasion), and Commerce 1 (Bargaining)

ADVANTAGES
Celebrity
Quick-Thinking
Resources

DISADVANTAGES
Normal (B1, A0)
Public ID
Physically Challenged (Paralyzed from waist down)

* START TEXT BOX *
COMBAT
Priority: x2
Move: Run 6 sq, Flight 25 sq (x3 /Page), Swimming 24 sq.
Soak : x6
Defense: x2 (x4 vs. missiles)
Mental Defense: x1
* END TEXT BOX *

Over on the RPG.Net Forum, a link was posted for the BASH sample release of the character MOJO. I can't get the link to work but if you can, or had, then here are the corrected stats for that character.

Kordell Washington (Codename: Mojo)

MENTAL MALFUNCTION
With a passion for social justice, this hacker is sometimes more comfortable interacting with computer systems than having a live social interface with another person.

AGILITY 2
MIND 3

POWERS
Techno-path: Telepathy 3 <Situational> <Situational> LINKED with Suggestion <Situational> (4pts)
Siphon Electrical Charge Multi-power: (4pts)
Electrical Discharge: Special Attack 3 (+2 to hit, CloseRange, x3+1 Dmg) [Extra Effect: +2 DM when drawing charge directly from an industrial sized power transformer] <Situational> <Fading>
Electrical Field: Damage Aura 3 (x3 Dmg)
Skillful 2 (+4 skill slots) (2pts)

SKILLS
Stealth 3 (Evading Security Cameras and Alarms), Computers 5 (Hacking), Security 3 (Disabling Security Alarms and Cameras), Streetwise 3 (Gather Information), and Technology 4 (Modify)

Mr. Washington, known to his team as MOJO, was an interesting character to work on. I loved the fact that, despite his blindness, this hero can see the world around him through a virtual reality recreation made by the "Cyber-Shades" he wears.

This was technology originally provided by the boogie man of shadow agencies, MANTIS. These Cyber-Shades were full of life-threatening boobie-traps that had to be dismantled and bypassed before he could be free of their control.

Wow, not only can this guy interface his mind directly to the electronics around him, everything he sees around him appears like a VR simulation. What a fun character to play: this guy is pure digital!

Sorry, but information didn't come across when I posted MOJO's stats. I think that something about the Google Chrome web-browser, and this site conspire to drop everything after the first complete word that is inside those arrowed brackets. Here is the missing information placed in normal brackets:

MOJO's Powers:
Techno-path: Telepathy 3 (Situational: Only affects computer systems) (Situational: Range drops from a range of sight to 5 sq without the aid of Cyber-Shades) LINKED with Suggestion (Situational: Only affects computer systems) (4pts)

Siphon Electrical Charge Multi-power: (4pts)
•Electrical Discharge: Special Attack 3 (+2 to hit, CloseRange, x3+1 Dmg) [Extra Effect: +2 DM when drawing charge directly from an industrial sized power transformer] (Situational: Must touch a power source, at least as strong as a well charged car battery) (Fading: recharge only by contacting an electrical source)
•Electrical Field: Damage Aura 3 (x3 Dmg)

Skillful 2 (+4 skill slots) (2pts)

Wow. EXTREME EARTH is now fully funded and 4 days are left for those of you still interested in getting in on the Kickstarter campaign. Once funding reaches the $8500 level we will get the first of the BLACKLIST FILES, this one featuring a full illustration montage and background treatment for Peter Chobrak AKA Ajax!

In the mean time, check out the pdf preview for NIGHTSHADE. This link is a zip file that contains each of her system builds in the various games supported by the Kickstarter.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/901 ... tshade.zip

Just a note. The BASH build has a couple of errors in the build.

NIGHTSHADE's skills should read...
Stealth 3+3 (Prowling), and Deception 3 (Manipulation)
Also, her Priority and Soak should read...
Priority: x3+3
Soak: x1 (x3 from HTH attacks)
Thanks for everyone's help in making this Kickstarter a success.
