Rogue Games Releases Colonial Gothic Second Edition
12/12/2012 12:12 Filed in: Colonial Gothic | News
Available starting today Rogue Games is accepting pre-orders for Colonial Gothic: Rulebook Second Edition.
The North American Colonies.
The great nations of Europe struggle for control of the New World. Native Americans struggle for their land and their lives. Planters and traders struggle for wealth and position. A new nation struggles to be born.
But look beneath the surface.
Monsters stalk the woods. Angry ghosts and spiteful witches plague the villagers. Explorers search for lost cities and fabled treasures. Ancient evils are awakened.
There is a secret history, and this history deals with events that took place in the shadows. These events played a role in the history of the American colonies and the Revolution that few know about.
The truth is hidden, and plots are afoot. Events are moving behind the scenes, and lurking in the shadows are agents with their own agenda.
War is coming.
The Siege of Boston is lifted, and General Washington is leading the Continental Army to New York. The enemies are many, but as to who they are, you do not know.
Colonial Gothic is a supernatural historical horror roleplaying game set during the dawn of the American Revolution.
Over two years in the making, Colonial Gothic Second Edition is fully compatible with all previous Colonial Gothic adventures and sourcebooks.
You can preorder your copy today, and receive a copy of the PDF immediately. Within in two weeks, the book will be shipped to you. What better way to celebrate the end of the year, then with this game. You will want your copy, because what we have planned for next year is something special.

(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:

Colonial Gothic Organizations: The Templars Ready for Pre-Order
01/15/2012 02:27 Filed in: Colonial Gothic | News
Available starting today Rogue Games is accepting pre-orders for Colonial Gothic Organizations: The Templars.
From Parzival through Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade to The da Vinci Code, the Knights Templar have had an enduring hold over the popular imagination. At dawn on Friday, October 13, 1307, they went from being one of the most powerful organizations in medieval Europe to prisoners and fugitives. They were questioned under torture and their leaders were executed for heresy. Officially disbanded in 1312, the Knights Templar ceased to exist.
The legend of the Templars has proved harder to destroy. Rumors persisted of hidden treasure, of a curse that blighted a dynasty, and of a secret so powerful that it threatened the very basis of the Church. New organizations such as the Freemasons looked back to the Templars, and became shrouded in myth and conspiracy theory themselves.
Written by Graeme Davis (Colonial Gothic: The Gazetteer) The Templars is the first in a series of Colonial Gothic sourcebooks covering secret societies and other organizations.
Within these pages you will find detailed and authoritative information on the activities of the Knights Templar in the world of Colonial Gothic, including their acknowledged and secret histories, their structure and organization, their goals in the Thirteen Colonies and around the world, and the implications of membership.
Although they do not show their hand openly, the Knights Templar remain a force in the world of Colonial Gothic. Their hand is seldom seen, but it pulls on many strings.
To order a copy, and get the PDF of the book immediately, please visit the Rogue Games Online Store. Orders will ship within the next two weeks, and Kindle and eBook versions of the book will be available for purchase shorty.

Rogue Games puts Shadow, Sword & Spell: Under Pashuvanam’s Lush up for Pre Order
(Chicago) June 28, 2011: Rogue Games puts Shadow, Sword & Spell: Under Pashuvanam’s Lush up for Pre Order
Beidha.
The name invokes wonderment. It fuels the imagination of storytellers. It fills merchants with a lust for riches.
Covering most of this land is a thick jungle called the Pashuvanam, or Jungle of Beasts. The jungle deserves its name. Fierce monsters and animals plague Beidhanids and Nipuans alike, sometimes destroying entire villages. Over the last few centuries, most of the dangerous creatures have been driven away from major settlements and main roads, giving the inhabitants a sense of security. Still, stories of unspeakable horrors lurking in the jungle’s depth persist—and are regularly proven true.
Under Pashuvanam’s Lush is your introduction to this land. Here you will find adventure, rumor and mysteries. This adventure takes the heroes from the civilization of this land, through the dark foreboding jungles to ruins long forgotten.
What evil lurks under the lush?
Written by Gabriel Brouillard (Colonial Gothic: New France), Under Pashuvanam's Lush is a departure from our regular books. Why? Not only is it full color, but it opens up a new culture for play. More than just an adventure, this is a sourcebook for the kingdom of Beidha, allowing gamemasters and players to adventure in the jungles and lands of an ancient culture's remains.

Now Taking Pre-Orders for Colonial Gothic: New France
01/04/2011 07:01
(CHICAGO) JANUARY 4, 2011: ROGUE GAMES IS NOW TAKING PRE-ORDERS FOR COLONIAL GOTHIC: NEW FRANCE
France and England have always been rivals.
As it has always been in Europe, so it is in America. From Quebec to the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Delta, New France offers a constant challenge to the British colonies. French troops garrison Quebec and Montreal. French forts dot the interior. French Louisiana – in theory, at least – extends from the Appalachians to the Rocky Mountains.
Welcome to New France
In this book you will find a complete description of New France, with information on its political structure, society, and major settlements. There are notes on making French colonial Heroes, including the famous
coureurs des bois – the explorers, trappers, and traders who did much to open up the interior to France. Campaign settings on offer include the
“Golden Age” of French power, the French and Indian War which created British Canada, and the Revolutionary War.
Allons-y! Pour la France – and let us teach these British that they do not own the New World!
Written by Gabriel Brouillard Colonial Gothic: New France opens up the world and shifts attention away from the English Colonies.
The PDF of Colonial Gothic: New France is included with the Pre-Order. All books will be shipped starting on January 25, 2011. To order, visit the Rogue Games Online Store today!
