Product Type: Savage Worlds NPC Sourcebook

Here are ninety-two NPCs for the Bedlam City campaign setting, each ready to suffer and die in whatever ways you prefer. We know you can think of some real tasty ones (and we're sure your PCs can, too).

Some of the characters in this book have superpowers, but most are much more soft and vulnerable. Because every good superhero campaign needs a steady supply of secondary characters to run, scream, fall off things and generally get in the way. It's also helpful to have people who could sue the PCs, treat their injuries or serve them pancakes in a diner.

Many of these NPCs are characters we mention in the main "Bedlam City" sourcebook (yes, you will finally get to see stats for Count Skankula). But at least as many are completely new. Use them in whatever cruel, depraved way you like best. Feel free to bend, fold, spindle and mutilate.

From the mysterious Ragged Oracle of Seedworld AFG-218 to the horrors of the Maletek Stalker, The Radical’s Handbook contains a wealth of background information and game mechanics to enrich your Dark Heresy campaign.

In the pages of this tome, you will find:

• More background packages and character options for those Acolytes of a Radical bent, such as Hive Mutant and the Exorcised
• More unusual and forbidden technology, including Dark Tech and Xenos weaponry.
• More rules for sorcery, daemon weapons, and daemonhosts
• Detailed information on the Radical factions of the Inquisition, including many Calixian-specific factions
• Advice on how to run a Radical campaign
• Ten of the most infamous Radicals in the Calixis Sector

...and much, much more!

Whether you and your Acolytes prefer to destroy the Radicals or join them in their path to damnation, this sourcebook provides all you need to do both.

Maneuvering in support are light cruisers, destroyers and other vessels. Will you captain your fleet for king and country, expanding your nation's power and becoming legend?

The Conspiracy continues! You may have brought the ones responsible for killing the city's doctors to justice but now the mysterious Servants of Chaos have turned their attention to the city's religious leaders. Clerics of every faith have been found murdered and the city council has asked you to investigate. One question looms in your mind: why go after pastors and preachers? Are these acts of random violence or are the murders a part of a much greater plan?

On September 9 2796, Coordinator Jinjiro Kurita, consumed with bloodlust, ordered his troops to slaughter the citizens of Kentares IV to the last man...

And Kurita became the most feared name in the Inner Sphere.

To control his people, the Coordinator of the Draconis Combine must control their ideology. Thus, Draconis society's values are Harmony and Purity-Harmony with the interests and intentions of the Kurita state, and Purity from any thoughts that contradict those of the Coordinator.

Only the powerful, mystical society ComStar could compile this sourcebook on House Kurita and the Draconis Combine. Dozens of full-color illustrations depict famous personalities, scenes, and military ranks, decorations, and insignia. Also included is Kurita history, from Shiro Kurita's bloody conquests while forging the Draconis Combine to Takashi Kurita's ruthless "Justice." Every Combine 'Mech regiment from Rasalhague to Luthien is listed, along with the totalitarian government's structure, a description of the ISF (the Combine's secret police), and excerpts from the Dictum Honorium, which spells out the codes of conduct for Kurita citizens.

Threatening to devour both the Federated Suns and the Lyran Commonwealth, the Dragon grows stronger and more fearsome. Every year brings the Draconis Combine closer to fulfilling its destiny of conquering the Inner Sphere.

Dieron. Prefecture capital, District headquarters, a lynchpin resource and industrial world for the mighty Draconis Combine.

One of the Word of Blake's major successes at the onset of the Jihad, they would not let go of Dieron without a fight.

Jihad Turning Points: Dieron fleshes out all the details of the conflict surrounding this pivotal world published in various Jihad Plot Sourcebooks. Additionally, players can join one of the myriad of units fighting for ultimate control of one of the Dragon's precious resource worlds. The Word of Blake has turned the world into a major stumbling block, centered around the ancient and massive Fortress Dieron.

This campaign series uses the Chaos Campaign rules and gives players the option of fighting individual battles, following a campaign arc, inserting it into their own campaigns and even creating their own scenarios with optional rules to give their games a "Dieronese flavor." This PDF-exclusive book includes a detailed map of Dieron, a comprehensive list of the forces involved on Dieron during its nine-year occupation, and several Tracks for players can use to run simple lance-on-lance battles or stage a complete world-wide invasion. The only limit is the players' imagination.

Each character comes with name, equipment, skills and background, giving them life and personality right from the page.

Deep underground in a vast cavern that acts as a demonic place of worship, there stands a group of cloaked figures in a circle. They chant and the air wavers around them as unseen powers begin to rise. They may be summoning a ferocious creature from the underworld, or creating a horrible storm that will destroy the village, or perhaps simply worshipping a god of chaos. As their ritual progresses, the intensity of their ill-intended magic mounts until they are in a frenzy of chaotic, dark, religious ecstasy! Dark ambient music, with elements of didgeridoo, cavern sound effects and chanting. Appropriate for horror games or dark fantasy. Music and sound effects by Randin Graves.
