New Dark Age has compiled this brief errata document addressing the material of Unhallowed Metropolis, Revised. This errata will also be included within the pages of Unhallowed Necropolis, Revised in 2012.

Further PDF support is on the horizon for Unhallowed Metropolis, and we’ll have more details on that as soon as details are solidified. In the meantime, be sure to check out the Atomic Overmind Press forums for ongoing discussions about the game!

We’ve had a lot of questions about just what changed since the first edition of Unhallowed Metropolis, so the New Dark Age guys have put together a look at just what makes Unhallowed Metropolis, Revised, revised. Click here to check out the full entry on the Unhallowed Metropolis page!

After the Serpentfall, floods and horrors rise all along the Mississippi valley. Only the Bluff City survives, kept alive by hard choices and harder men. Strangers come to Memphis from deep in the dark, from out in the wild, from all over. They set out for the Delta, or for the wild Poisoned Lands, ready to kill or to heal, but most of all ready for trouble. Because we’ve got trouble, right here in the River City …

This 35-page City Sourcebook for Memphis in the world of The Day After Ragnarok features:

  • Key locations in Memphis, both specific (the Peabody Hotel, Beale Street) and generic (”the blacksmith” or “the roadhouse”) tuned for maximum action!
  • Full maps of Memphis and Tennessee, keyed to the text and waiting for you to make your mark!
  • Friends and foes, from Boss Crump’s arm-twisters to surly tattooed barbarians to the shining Oak Ridge Men. Klandestine plotters, swamp cultists, hoodoo men, and more lurk in Memphis’ streets or call to secret Things deep in the Delta. Four fully-statted NPCs, including Alvin York, the greatest shot in the world, bring the action to town!
  • Monsters of the Tennessee night, like wampus cats, Shonokins, and even more snakes.
  • Poisoned Lands Adventures: The complete guide to adventuring in the Poisoned Lands: encounter tables, salvaged treasures, and a big bag of adventure seeds waiting for you to plant!

Memphis: Gateway to the Poisoned Lands will be unleashed upon the world in Fall/Winter 2011. Watch for previews in the coming weeks!

A New Home for The Day After Ragnarok

We’ve also completely retooled the website section devoted to The Day After Ragnarok. It’ll be much easier to find product pages an information, as well as free downloads. You can find the new site at http://www.atomicovermind.com/main/dar/.

New Dark Age and Atomic Overmind are pleased to announce that Unhallowed Necropolis, Revised, the supernormal source book for Unhallowed Metropolis™ Revised, the gas-mask chic role-playing game of Neo-Victorian horror will be available in spring of 2012!

London sits at the heart of a vast and haunted empire. Within its sprawling fortifications, its teeming population lives alongside the spirits of the discarnate dead. Now, science has pierced the veil separating mortal man from death’s other kingdom. The mysteries of the hereafter stand ready to be revealed, but not all of the restless dead are willing participants.

And the living, too, possess their own secrets. The deranged and traumatized inhabitants of the city manifest psychical abilities of a frightening magnitude. The asylums of the metropolis have become vast warehouses for the criminally insane, powder kegs of psychical energy in which human time bombs tick toward inevitable detonation.

Unhallowed Necropolis details the secret history of the supernormal and introduces ghosts, psychics, and mediums to the Neo-Victorian World.

Unhallowed Necropolis™ is the supernormal source book for Unhallowed Metropolis™ Revised, the gas-mask chic role-playing game of Neo-Victorian horror. Within its pages you’ll find…

  • Complete rules for volatile psychics and the spectral entities that haunt the Unhallowed Metropolis™
  • Five new Callings—Alienist, Exorcist, Medium, Parapsychologist, and Psychic
  • The wonders of aether technology, new Qualities & Impediments, and much more!

We’re doing some significant retooling to the structure of the Atomic Overmind Press website, so you’re going to see some changes in the next few weeks. The new website organization will, we hope, help to better represent all of our various projects and product lines a bit better. This main blogroll will continue to provide information on all of the different Atomic Overmind Press projects, however.

To begin with, we’re proud to announce the opening of the Unhallowed Metropolis section of our wesbite. You can check it out by clicking here!
