(Chicago) October 7, 2012: Pre Orders for Colonial Gothic: Locations Go Live
FOUR TOWNS, MANY SECRETS
Plymouth, Massachusetts; Elizabethtown, Maryland; Savannah, Georgia; Charlotte Haven, Florida. Four towns that appear to have nothing in common. Four towns with secrets.
Award-winning author Jennifer Brozek takes you beneath the surface of four communities across Colonial America: the people, the societies, the secrets, and the things that were better left undiscovered.
Described in loving detail, each location is provided with a wealth of adventure seeds and campaign starts. Whether your Heroes are just visiting or decide to make a town their base of operations, you will find plenty here to provoke, challenge, and threaten them. There are wrongs to right, conspiracies to thwart, and monsters to slay. There are friends to help and foes to defeat. There are mystery, intrigue, and danger in plenty.
Just look beneath the surface.
This book contains revised and re-edited versions of Rogue Games' acclaimed Plymouth and Elizabethtown e-books -- in print for the first time -- plus two all-new locations: Savannah, the bustling capital of the young Georgia Colony, and Charlotte Haven, a small Florida town where a long Spanish heritage sits uneasily beneath the veneer of British rule.
Praise for Plymouth and Elizabethtown:

Ok, art school is done.
The death in my family rocked me for most of the month. Now that things have settled, work is picking up and I am fast at work on laying out Colonial Gothic: Locations.
Really.
Take a look:
Note that this is still a work in progress, but as you can see, the layout is coming along. I am shooting for this to be out the door sometime next week. All goes well, the preorder will go live and the books will be in your hands in no time.
This week, the info page will go up.
Things are moving, and I am finally at the end of the tunnel. I thank you for your patience.

A rough map for Colonial Gothic Locations
09/04/2012 07:10 Filed in: Colonial Gothic
Work on Locations is moving. It should be done and laid out within the next week. I am finishing up my last quarter at Art School, and I have my big portfolio show to get ready to. If things are little slow, please forgive, I got a lot on my plate at the moment.
Anyway, to show that things have been moving, here is a preview of a rough map that will be in the book:
What location is this for? Elizabethtownn

Colonial Gothic: Locations

So let’s address the elephant in the room first. What is going on?
Updates have been few and far between, and I have been quiet about Rogue Games. Nothing major, or bad, just a lot of life issues have intruded upon my time. It stinks that things have slowed down, but sometimes you need to take a step back to get things done. Now that the personal stuff has been cleared up (sick father-in-law for those who are wondering) and my art school is winding down, I have more time.
One of the first things that will be out the door is a new Colonial Gothic release, Colonial Gothic: Locations.
Locations details four locations: three within the Thirteen Colonies, and one in the newly-acquired British territory of Florida. Each location is described in detail, with notes on its history, current inhabitants, and local mysteries and intrigues.
Plymouth was the seed from which the Massachusetts Colony grew. By the 1770s, it is a bustling town of some 3,000 souls. No longer dominated by Puritans, it is still a place where religion matters.
Elizabethtown in Maryland is both smaller and more recently founded. Named after the wife of founder Jonathan Hager and sometimes called Hagerstown, it is a bulwark against Indian attacks. Its population of 500 can increase fourfold when outlying colonists flee here from Lenape attacks.
Savannah was founded according to grander designs, as the capital of the Georgia colony. Its broad streets and open squares lend grace to this thriving port city.
Charlotte Haven is tiny by comparison. Along with the rest of Spanish Florida, it came into British hands after the French and Indian War, traded for the return of captured Cuba. British and Spanish colonists live side-by-side in a peace that is sometimes fragile; outside the small town, the Seminole and Calusa are known to give refuge to escaped slaves.
Each of these locations can be used as the base for a Colonial Gothic campaign, and each is treated in the same format. A brief history of the area sets the scene. Profiles of prominent local people provide a cast of NPCs. Local mysteries, secrets, and scandals are laid out with rumor and hearsay for the players and hard facts for the GM. Descriptions and statistics are given for local monsters as needed, and finally, a mini-campaign is laid out in skeleton form.
Colonial Gothic: Locations is written by Jennifer Brozek, and this is some of the best work she has done for Colonial Gothic. The book will be out in September. I am waiting on just one more map, and once that is done, the layout will be finished.

Colonial Gothic: Locations. What is it?
06/27/2012 07:37 Filed in: Colonial Gothic
I mentioned in passing a few days ago, that there is a new book for Colonial Gothic scheduled to come out this summer. Said book is called Colonial Gothic: Locations. I was light on details then, but here is the lowdown on what is heading your way.
Locations is what will be the first, of what Graeme and I hope will be a regular release. Locations is designed to give gamemasters and players ready to run settlements set in the colonial period. If you have read the two ebooks (Elizabethtown and Plymouth), you know what we have in store for you.
Written by Jennifer Brozek, Locations contains fully revised and cleaned up Elizabethtown and Plymouth. In addition two previously unpublished locations – Savannah, Georgia and Charlotte Haven in British Florida – are found here as well. Jennifer has created four full colonial communities that are ready for play. Mysteries, random events, new monsters, and more is detailed.
Already another volume of Locations is being worked on, and that volume will have some interesting twists as well.
The book is going into layout soon, I am still working on the presentation of the book. I am waiting on one more map to be finished, and then it is ready. In a few days I’ll write more about the book, and share a few snippets.
