New Space 1889 steampunk RPG releases from Modiphius...
-------------------
Greetings!

Today we’re really pleased to announce the release of Space 1889: Mars, a major new source book for Clockwork Publishing’s acclaimed steampunk RPG.

Space 1889: Mars is available in print and PDF as part of the Space 1889 Collection on
Modiphius.net and here are the details on this 228-page new source book.

The dying Red Planet is waiting for your footprints in the dust!

Ever since telescopes have allowed it, mankind has observed the surface of Mars with its massive canal structures. But only when Thomas Edison set foot on the Red Planet was the truth revealed: Mars is home to a culture whose ancestors built the canals. They used them to distribute the water of the polar caps and thus saved the dying planet from the inevitable.

Their deeds have enabled the Martians to live on for tens of thousands of years.

Edison brought news from this world where many new civilizations waited to be discovered, all with their own customs, rites, beliefs, and world views. The British, the Germans, the French Commune, Belgian corporations, the Japanese and the Russians all landed on Mars to found their own colonies. What brought economic boons and technological progress to the cooperating city-states, instead brought exploitation, oppression, and war to the rest.

In this massive 228 page print source book, we offer you an overview of the planet, divided into eight great regions, and its people:

  • Join the British colonial efforts and the war against the militaristic Oenotrian Empire in the Central Basin, compete for allies or fight for resources!
  • Experience the Eastern Basin (almost) as it once was before the human colonists arrived: Full of intrigue and border skirmishes between the strange city-states.
  • See for yourself the inhuman practices of the Earth invaders in the Western Basin, where Martian rebels unify against the exploitation and the tradition-bound Tossian Empire slowly rouses from its slumber.
  • Travel with the Caravans across the Eastern Desert, the region marked strongest by the great fall, and search for ancient relics and secrets.
  • Rejuvenate trade in the Western Desert along the Tea Road, the source of all cultural and goods exchanges between the people of this region, which is not unlike the Silk Road on Earth.
  • Travel the Northern Polar region and bring order to this lawless desert with nothing but your honor and your trusted muzzle loader.
  • Or end up in the Southern Polar Region, where one man, alone with a blade, some technology worshipped as magic and an iron will, can rise all the way to warlord.

Many canal cities are described in detail, as well as the backgrounds of the Martian culture, travels and history. You will receive an overview of Martian technology with numerous pieces of equipment to enrich your game with. Dozens of creatures and eight sample archetypes (with a focus on Martians) are presented ready to play. And finally, an entire chapter is dedicated to the many secrets of the Red Planet…

We hope you enjoy this latest addition to the Space 1889 RPG and look out for more Space 1889 releases coming soon,

Best wishes,

Something new for the steampunk RPG Space 1889...
----------------------
Hello,

Today we're really pleased to announce the release of Space 1889: City at the Center of the Earth, a brand new adventure for Clockwork Publishing's splendid Steampunk influenced RPG.

City at the Center of the Earth is available in print and PDF formats as part of theSpace 1889 Collection on Modiphius.net.
Since inventors Edison and Armstrong set out on their first journey to Mars in 1870, mankind has been enthused by the worlds lying beyond the Ether, and nations and enterprises, inventors and explorers have ventured into the depths of space.

German inventor Elke Eggers, however, has no interest in going up. Driven by her memories of the fantastic tales her grandfather Ansgar used to tell her about underground civilizations, she has dedicated her life to seeking ways to voyage underground and find the mysterious City at the Center of the Earth. 
This adventure is set on Earth and—in particular—inside it. On an adventurous journey à la Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth and in particular Edgar Rice Burrough’s Pellucidar novels, the characters join Elke Eggers in her giant Mole Drill, digging its way towards the Earth’s core.
 
But sabotage and unknown threats make the voyage challenging and dangerous. Will they reach the mysterious city Elke Egger is convinced exists down there? And if so, which mysteries and secrets await the adventurers there?
What creatures live in the gigantic caverns deep down in the center of the Earth? And, where do the inhabitants—and possibly even builders—of this ‘World beneath the World’ come from? 

The adventurers can be of any nationality, even if the starting point of the journey is set in the German Empire. The events in this adventure challenge various character archetypes with tasks matching their expertise: Academics, Scientists, and Explorers are best suited for this endeavour, of course, but Engineers, Mechanics, or Soldiers will be useful as well.
We hope you enjoy this latest Space 1889 adventure, it joins a raft of recent supplements for the fantastic game including Nocturne in the City of LightsThe Fate of Angahiaa, and On the Trail of the Gods in what's been a vintage summer for the Space 1889 RPG.

Look out for more great titles coming soon, which include Savage Worlds conversions of some of the biggest titles.

Best wishes,

Modiphius Entertainment
