 linkAdventure and Exploration Await!Grab your gasmask, your knee pads, crossbow and blade! Suit up into your junk armor and survival packs and get ready to dive into a world of high adventure. Welcome to the Crossroads Region!
It is the year 2364. The Tainted Sea continues to recede, exposing patches of the former megalopolis of Las Angeles. Here, your heroes will explore old war zones, ruined cityscapes, reef-locked relic ships, stinking bogs and toxic bomb craters. Seek the bounty on the dreaded outlaw-cannibal Appro-Mortica, recharge your power cells at Array, and avoid purist deviant hunters and mutant supremacists as your dig team travels Forest Road. The Crossroads Region Gazetteer is the first official setting for The Mutant Epoch RPG. Designed to connect with other upcoming gazetteers, this territory sits directly above uncharted zones meant to be crafted by the game master. No further settings will be published which document the areas south of the Crossroads Region, and instead future books will only describe areas, north, east and west. Included in this 448 page book: • 33 Community Descriptions • 98 Locations of Interest Descriptions • 320 Illustrations • 39 maps • 20 NPCs • Plus details on regional factions, ruin areas, outlaws, heroes, organization, nomadic communities and much more! • Access to downloadable map and game ready content archive, including larger versions of included maps View a robust PDF demo version right here The Crossroads Art Gallery or the book's page at our website You can buy the book in PDF, softcover or hardcover.... Buy a print book for $36.99 here at createspace (an Amazon company*) The PDF version for $16.99 Or get a Hardcover for $46.99 at drivethrurpg com or assorted book and PDF combos at drivethrrpg.com* An amazon company, with the Amazon.com page being auto-updated to feature the new book a few hours or days later than the release date. Buying through their createpspace store gets you the same book from the same printer, but we get a much more generous portion of the sale. But yes, I think Amazon cuts the price by a buck or two. |

My copy came in the mail yesterday. That is a big book! I've read bits of the pdf but I can always find info that I missed in a real, hands-on book! Thanks so much for such a great product.  |

Just got my book today...along with my pre-order hardback of The Morrow Project 4th Edition.
Crossroads is thicker than the phone book I got this year and I am not exaggerating about that, either.

Love the Section on Array and the Pure stock empire is as awesome as i thought they would be. Love the purist empire, its going to be a lot of fun to role play them agaginst the party. It would be fun to have all pure stock players that want to conquer the world evil lol!

there is so much information to process in this book. Its probably going to take me another couple of months to totally digest this material mentally. Love that the whole crossroads region is now open to explore. I did find some boo boo in the NPC section though. Namely that two or three of them tell in the description of the character that they wear armor but its not listed were it shows there DV. Not a big problem but they could be fighting a party of excavators at a disadvantage if run directly out of the book without manually factoring there armor to there DV first. Will post any other inconsistances that i find. Great book BTW WM! Even just to read it and never play it would be fine because its so well written of a story. LOL! oh one more thing my players are convinced that you had a troubled childhood to be able to put out such a sadistic game about the future. They are almost afraid to play it because of the high mortality rate. We have played four seperate parties of excavators at this point and only on of the groups have survived past three adventures. They have finally gotten into a groove where they feel comfortable about how to survive in the Epoch and then the crossroads region book came in LMAO! Welcome to the Epoch guys! they love it though, and its going to be awesome to role play the whole region instead of just Pitford and the ruins.

True there is not much on their movements or even a possible number of airships total in the region, but it does have the full specs on running on in the game in the back of the hub book.

The Airships are badass but highly unlikely to hold up in a fight for long, unless travelling in numbers. Much like the bombers of WWII.

OK, What's their base move? I seemed to have overlooked it. (If it's in there, I'll be rightfully embarrassed.) The art does show them in all their glory. But, you're right, numbers would be good to know. I can wing Base Move and numbers just like I did cost to purchase. Lot's of info on wind speed and being pulled by a critter, but can't find base move. They take a long time to fall out of the sky. Not like Hindenburgs or party balloons. |
