You can score an excellent deal on the major items for The Nile Empire in PDF for a $40.00 pledge or snag the physical books (and PDFs) for a $100.00 pledge. Keep in mind these both include all unlocked stretch goals. The project runs through December 24th with an expected delivery for the digital items immediately upon the conclusion of the Kickstarter, with physical books to follow in May 2019.

From Ulisses North America:

The Nile Empire continues the Possibility War started in Torg Eternity. Storm Knights rise to battle High Lord Mobius and his invading legions of shocktroopers. These supplements help you continue and expand your table-top role-playing game experience in the evolving world of Torg Eternity.

The Nile Empire is a realm of thrilling heroics, dastardly villains, and the heightened action and drama of pulp serials! It’s ruled by High Lord Mobius —Pharaoh Mobius to the transformed citizens of his empire, or Doctor Mobius to those who knew him as a master villain in his home cosm of Terra. His empire now extends to Earth, where he rules from Egypt to the Congo. His goose-stepping hordes have expanded west into Libya and east into Saudi Arabia.

Within Mobius’ domain magic, miracles, and wondrous weird science prevails. The technology of the empire is roughly that of 1930’s Earth, but the realm’s World Laws allow for rayguns and fantastic inventions that would be impossible with normal technology.

High Lord Mobius and his evil legions are extremely powerful, but they didn’t come to Earth alone. He comes from a cosm of masked crime fighters and heroic deeds. Some of these Mystery Men followed Doctor Mobius from Terra, and others have been created as Storm Knights transcended all across Africa during the invasion.

The Nile Empire source book is an expansion designed for both players and Game Masters. Inside you’ll find:

New Perks, Spells, Miracles, and Pulp Powers for advancing characters. Includes options only available to Beta Clearance Storm Knights, as they learn more about their own abilities and the nature of reality.
More gear designed to take advantage of the Weird Science available in the realm, including the powerful Rocket Ranger battle suits!
An extensive status update for the default timeline. See the course of the first year of the Possibility Wars and the toll it’s taken on Africa and the Middle East. Includes a list of ongoing Delphi Council operations and who’s who in the Nile Empire theater of the war.
The disposition and battle tactics of the Nile Empire’s war machine and major henchmen. Get the statistics for the Pharaoh himself, as Doctor Mobius plots and schemes his way to the top. Heroes beware!
New threats. Gangsters struggle to claim a piece of the action, monsters of legend appear across the land, and masked super villains rise to prove their worth to Mobius or take some of his power for themselves. Over thirty new foes in all, suitable for Storm Knights of various experience levels!
Obstacle generation tables help raise the stakes and keep the action exciting, and more!

The Fires of Ra is a massive adventure suitable for several months of gaming. Start off in free Venice where a group of villains attempt to steal an ancient treasure, and get swept up in Mobius’ machinations all across Africa. Can you find a weakness to his ultimate war-machine before it’s campaign of terror destroys all resistance in the region?
