HP-1-10 Desecration
By: Henry Lopez
Standard Adventure
Having arrived at the Haina Empire, negotiations begin in earnest, attempting to gain further allies for the Crusade, but after machinations and double dealings within the Imperial Capital, the Heroes venture forth and discover that piety is in the eye of the blasphemer.

The Golden Age of Superheroes has ended, not with a BANG but with a BITE!

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!

Rotted Capes: Coming this Summer from Paradigm Concepts, Inc.

Arcanis is a world of high fantasy, intrigue and suspense. Diplomacy, skill and discretion will carry you as far or farther than skill at arms or in the arts of magic. Heroes come in a myriad of forms. Some are fantastic beings born with the blood of Valinor or the souls of elementals. Others are the descendents of Celestial Giants who once roamed the stars as freely as a fish swims the sea. Many of its greatest heroes are simple mortals of mundane blood but lofty ideals.

It is a world of heroes who stand between the common folk and destruction, you are that hero. The power is in your hands; leave your mark upon the Shattered Empires!

This book is the must-have resource for Heroes of Arcanis: the World of Shattered Empires. This tome provides the players of the Arcanis Roleplaying Game the tools to create the Hero they desire.

Ancient relics often carry the power of the great deeds wrought by the legends that wielded them. The spark of creation - the very energy that formed the universe from nothingness - resides within these artifacts, focused by the spirit of ancient heroes. The results are items of power such as those detailed herein.

The book is an indispensible resource for Chronicle's and Heroes alike. These pages contain scores of magical items worthy of your heroes, including a new type of magic item: the Runestaff.

LA SP-1-9 Not My Daughter
By: James Vacca

The Hinterlands are growing more dangerous every day. The Reavers have attacked a caravan headed for Mil Takara, and a Senator's daughter has gone missing. The Senator has requested aid from the Crusade to retrieve her, and guess who drew the short straw?

This LEGENDS OF ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for Tier 1.

The Sorcerers and Mages of Onara have been persecuted by the agents of Ymandragore, known as Harvesters, for centuries. To protect themselves, they have formed secret communities and safe houses known as Sanctorum of the Arcane throughout the nations of Onara.

Now, the security of these sanctuaries has been threatened and the Heroes are sent on an urgent mission to recover the son of a powerful Coryani Senator.

This is volume one of the Year of Ill Harvest, remastered for the Arcanis RPG!
