Save Every One of Us in ‘Flash Gordon: The Roleplaying Game’ for Savage Worlds

Jan 28, 2018

I really want to cue up the theme music from the classic 1980 film as I type this news piece because the highly anticipated Savage World of Flash Gordon, (or if you prefer, Flash Gordon: The Roleplaying Game) as well as Kingdoms of Mongo, has arrived in PDF. This new Savage Worlds setting – from Pinnacle Entertainment – draws plenty of inspiration from the comic strip created by Alex Raymond, the black & white serials, Filmation’s animated series, the Sam Jones led movie, and more. Honestly, these are two RPG books I’m really eager to get my hands on! Right now you can score both PDFs for $19.99 each through DriveThruRPG and it’s important to note you’ll need the core Savage Worlds rulebook to utilize them.

From Pinnacle:

On the rogue planet of Mongo, a brutal and sadistic tyrant named Ming the Merciless rules from his royal palace at the heart of Mingo City.

Secretly defying the emperor’s reign of terror are the Freemen, revolutionaries banded together from a number of kingdoms around the globe. From the winged hawkmen of Sky City to the ice giants of Naquk, from the water-breathing Coralians to the tree-dwelling Arborians, and from the nomadic lion men to the dwarfs of the Magnetic Mountains, many who have suffered under the drogiron fist of Emperor Ming have united under their own standard to see that the despot is deposed and freedom for all becomes the law of the land.

Inspiring this growing rebellion are three aliens from Earth: Dr. Hans Zarkov, Dale Arden, and Flash Gordon, the man whose face emboldens all who wish to live on a world free of Ming!

The Flash Gordon Roleplaying Game core rulebook contains updates to the Savage Worlds core rules system, new rules for powers, races, Edges and Hindrances, gear, rocket ships, and some of the most unique Setting Rules we’ve ever designed! It also includes a gazetteer of the fantastic world of Mongo, a Plot Point campaign, Savage Tales, and a host of heroes, villains, and horrific beasts for the Game Master’s eyes only!

Kingdoms of Mongo is a comprehensive guide to the many diverse lands that can be found upon, above, and even within the great rogue planet of Mongo.
This in-depth guide explores the cultures, geography, technology, and denizens of each domain. It contains everything your explorer needs to survive beyond the safety and security of Mingo City’s thick klangstone walls and energized lightning fields.

Kingdoms of Mongo focuses on nine individual kingdoms: Arboria, Coralia, Frigia, Kira, Radiuma, Sky City, Skyland, Tropica, and Valkr. It includes player-friendly information as well as secret material for the Game Master’s eyes only, including new monsters, new adversaries, and all-new Savage Tales.

Pack your bags, climb on your rocket cycle, and take to the turbulent skies! It’s time to head out and see the whole wide world of Mongo for yourself!
