The Dead have overrun the world and humanity's protectors are either missing, dead or worse yet, Z'ed! Dismissed as the Poor Man's Super Hero, you are mankind's only hope for survival in this horror-filled world where the greatest threat is not the Living Dead, but the Super Zombies that sit at the top of the food chain looking hungrily down upon you! Rotted Capes is a cross genre Role-playing Game where the gleaming world of Superheroes crashes headlong into the gritty and horror-filled world of Zombies! Using a streamlined version of the Arcanis RPG system, Rotted Capes is a fast paced game which can be played in which ever style best suits your group - Campy or Horrific seriousness! It's the near future and Z-Day has come and gone. No one knows how or where it started, but when the dead started attacking the living, the populace turned, as usual, to its Super Heroes! But this was a threat unlike any other and the unthinkable happened: their Heroes failed! As one of the B-listers, men, women (and aliens) who were sidekicks or low powered superheroes or villains, you're all that stands between the ravening hordes of the Unliving and humanity's total extinction. But as if mindless zombies weren't enough to deal with, many of those Heroes everyone looked up to have been Z'ed! Now they too hunger for flesh and with their super powers and inhuman cunning and intelligence, they may be unstoppable! No one ever said being a Hero was easy!

Gods of Blood and Shadow
"I shall call upon thee to arise when among the shields, I shall call upon thee to arise" - the Aztec Hymn of Atlaua. In the almost 17 decades since Hernán Cortés' ill-fated expedition of conquest, the Aztec Empire has grown mighty. Fueled by blood magic and fanatical devotion to dark gods, the Mexica now threaten to drive the Spanish from the mainland. Not serving the Adversary, their gods represent another great wickedness apart from the age-old battles of the Old World, one that is perhaps even more dangerous, one not truly limited by Solomon's Seal. Within these pages one will learn of the Aztecs in the words of Diego de Landa Calderón, Bishop of the Yucatán from his excellent "Relación de las cosas de Azteca", complete with illustrations, this work is perhaps the most useful reference about the Aztecs for Witch Hunters. Intrepid Witch Hunters will also find: • Detailed setting material detailing the provinces of the Empire • The various Witch Hunter orders found within Aztec lands • Rules for blasphemous blood magic • The deadly effective Aztec fighting styles • Horrific relics of the dark gods of the Mexica Head over to your FLES can get your copy today! ]]> http://www.paradigmconcepts.com/2011/11/25/aztec_empire_spotted_in_stores.php http://www.paradigmconcepts.com/2011/11/25/aztec_empire_spotted_in_stores.php Witch Hunter Fri, 25 Nov 2011 14:10:18 -0500
