Hot on the heels of April’s successful Kickstarter run Pinnacle Entertainment has released The Goon: The Roleplaying Game in digital format. Dive into Eric Powell’s bizarre (and Eisner Award winning) comic world to adventure with The Goon, Franky, Buzzard, Hieronymous Alloy and others to keep rivals from muscling in on The Goon’s turf while doing battle with the Zombie Priest and his minions to win back Lonely Street. The 192 page Savage Worlds source book is available in PDF for $19.99 through our friends at DriveThruRPG. We should expect the physical book to arrive this November.
Just don’t let Margaret Snodgrass find out you’ve bought the game!
From Pinnacle:
The Goon Roleplaying Game is based on the multiple Eisner Award-winning comic, The Goon, by Eric Powell.
Join the Goon’s crime syndicate—or play as Goon, Franky, and the rest of their crew—and fight off the rival gangs what’s encroachin’ on your turf, while you collect on Goon’s debts and whatnot. You might also succeed at fighting off the tide of bleak suffering that’s set to consume yer soul. Then again you might not!
But while you’re contemplatin’ the psychology and so forth, make sure to watch out for Zombie Priest and his legions of groanin’, brain-chomping zombies; they’re a constant hassle. If that ain’t bad enough, there’s crazed-yet-brilliant Dr. Hieronymus Alloy and his robots goin’ on a rampage every other week. You also want to keep a lookout for swarms of chug-heads…what they call “changelings.” Yeah. They’re nasty little buggers.
Believe me, pal, we ain’t even got to the worst of it yet. You sure you wanna join up with Goon’s crew?
This game requires the Savage Worlds core rules to play.
