Following a very successful Kickstarter, the Dr. Grordbort’s Scientific Adventure Violence roleplaying game is now available in print and PDF from Crowbar Creative and Exalted Funeral. The RPG, built on the 5E mechanics, is an alternate history in which mankind took to the stars in the late 19th Century to colonize every planet they could get their grubby mitts on. The 334 page hardcover (with PDF) carries an MSRP of $50.00 or grab just the PDF alone for $20.00.
About the book:
Grab your raygun, strap in, and blaze your smoking, likely radioactive, trail through the Solar System!
Blast off into a retro-futuristic, pulp sci-fi cosmos bursting with rayguns, rocketships, robots, and … did we mention rayguns?
Based on the comics, art, and universe invented by Wētā Workshop’s Greg Broadmore, this is a unique and comprehensive guide to creating outlandish, interplanetary adventures compatible with the fifth and fifth-and-a-half editions of some game with dragons and other silly, scientifically unfounded elements.
Packed with more than 400 illustrations by Broadmore and Wētā Workshop artists, this technological tome features:
- All 10 5E character classes … but scientized! Plus 5 (known) Species and 20 new Backgrounds to choose from.
- 125+ rayguns, gadgets, gizmos, armour, and adventuring gear.
- 26 vehicles — from tanks and rockets to walkers and airships — plus rules for air-to-air, space-to-space, and orbit-to-ground combat.
- 61 creatures, 26 NPCs, and several factions vying for power.
- 8 bizarre and powerful technology types, each with their own unique malfunctions table.
- 4 worlds to explore, each with its own atmospheric conditions, secrets, and plot hooks — plus guidance on creating adventures in the great beyond!
- Functional, yet flavourful, custom designed digital Character Sheets by Hans Kleinenberg
