Tweets of Doom for the week ending 2010-10-31

This is a compilation of this week’s Tweets of Doom. For more, check us out and follow us on Twitter.

Free Exclusive Apocalypse World Character Playbook

This is too good to not post. You should be backing Joshua A.C. Newman’s Human Contact, a hard science fiction roleplaying game about what happens when a rationalist, free, democratic society explores its universe and finds others that have different values than it has. It deals with those interactions on both a personal and societal level. It will be awesome, but there is now another incredibly cool reason to back the project.

Any current backers and anyone else who backs the project before time runs out in 18 days will receive a free exclusive Apocalypse World character playbook written by Vincent Baker. The character is called the Quarantine. Here’s a run-down:

The Quarantine has been locked away, suspended in ignorance of the outside world, throughout the Apocalypse. But his ignorance is nothing compared to what he knows: he remembers what came before and knows what caused it.

Not that it will help him.

If that doesn’t sound good, then you probably haven’t read Apocalypse World. If it does sound good, get over to Kickstarter and back Human Contact. It’s shaping up to be a great game and now you get a cool supplement for another great game, too. You can’t lose.

Aruneus – Zombie Apocalypse Meets High Fantasy

Aruneus is a campaign setting being developed by Ben over at Troll in the Corner and using the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game rules. It’s a high fantasy world 100 years after the zombie apocalypse. Sounds like a great combination to me! Ben’s using Kickstarter to fund the creation of his setting through Kickstarter but he needs your help.

Kickstarter & P20 Modern

P20 Modern RPG will be developed by Super Genius Games and their goal is to revise and update the d20 Modern SRD, using Pathfinder as a guideline. Super Genius Games are using a site called Kickstarter to fund the project. P20 only has 30 days left to reach its goal of $70,000. So if you’re interested, head on over and get in on the ground floor.

WHAT YOU'VE GOTTEN YOURSELF INTO

Pyres of Vam is run by Mockingbard and his alter-ego(maniac) Vam. It focuses on tabletop roleplaying but you'll find other things here too.

Mockingbard loves roleplaying, worldbuilding and stories. He posts setting ideas, session recaps, gamemastery tips and the like for fun, for himself and to get his creativity on.

Vam posts from the villain's point of view: debunking monster myths, providing adventure ideas for villains, and helping fellow villains and dastardly GMs deck out their lairs and complicate the lives of filthy adventurers.

We write this stuff because we like it :) Hopefully you'll find something you like here too.
