$19.95 SRP

 

We have good news and bad news for you. The bad news: the zombie apocalypse has already happened and the humans lost. Zombies now rule the world. They go to Zombie work, pay Zombie taxes, and hang out at the local Zombie malls. It’s not at all a pretty sight for humans. The good news: it’s flipping hilarious! In Zombie Fried, you, and you alone, have the power to hire someone else to do your dirty work while you take all the credit. You alone have the ability to invent crazy weapons that somehow work, even though you have never even fired a flare gun, much less a real one. So tread carefully my friends. Go forth and rid the world of the Zombie horde once and for all. But do it before some other Joe beats you to it – or before another flippin’ Zombie Rights Rally starts. Man, I hate those!

imp hist1Legend of the Five Rings RPG: Imperial Histories 2

$39.99 SRP

 

Housed within the Ikoma Libraries and the Temple to Tengen are the Imperial Histories, the chronicles of the Emerald Empire. Compiled over a thousand years by adept historians, studied by scholars throughout the lands of the Jade Sun, and containing the wisdom of generations, these documents are a testament to the favor of the Heavens. Their pages tell the story of an Empire that is destined for greatness.

 

But as the candle-light’s flickering flame illuminates the history of an Empire, it casts obscuring shadows as well. Dark times that were judged better left forgotten, buried deep, hidden or omitted entirely. And the trenches of time sometimes diverge in places, like the reflections of a scrying bowl ripple and change, becoming something else entirely. Yet every era, even those that were darkest, had its heroes. Even in those distorted images of an Empire that never came to be, honor has always been stronger than steel.

 

-Explore thirteen new eras in great detail, including the Reign of the Shining Prince, the Era of the Four Winds, and the Age of Exploration!

-Also includes bold new alternate settings such as the Togashi Dynasty, the Shadowed Throne, and the Empire of the Emerald Stars!

-In depth looks at the clans and characters of each era, and great ideas and inspirations for your own campaigns!

-All new Schools, ancestors, techniques and more, some thought lost to the ages!
