From RPGNow:
In the months since the first Outbreak of the Living Dead, the survivors of the Pinnacle Cruise Ship have faced all manner of horrors. From the Shamblers to the Infected Newborns, from the Living Dead Generals to the Ragers, they have survived against insurmountable odds. Now, an early winter has hit, and with it heavy snowfall and cold. Forced to find safe haven and fortify against the elements, can the characters withstand the greatest threat of all . . . their fellow survivors?
Chapter Three continues the saga as the characters are forced to uncover sinister plots within their own camp. A serial killer is on the loose, the Living Dead are mysteriously appearing within the walls of their safe haven, and not everyone is who they appear to be. Can the characters unravel the mysteries around them before it is too late?

In this slow news week we can always count on Triple Ace Games to make a release. This week they kick out region guide for The Vale a small settlement in Hellfrost.
A land of green hills and gentle valleys, of small settlements and cheery inhabitants, the Vale is widely regarded as an idyllic land. Yet all is not well in this paradise. Refugees from Vestmark cross the border in growing numbers, bringing with them disease and banditry, and within the peaceful valleys lie many dark secrets.

Today Adamant announced with a heavy heart that the “app pricing” model has now been scrapped. While they reported an increase in overall sales for January and February their March sales took a huge nose dive. While the sales were up they cross-referenced their release schedule and noticed more releases during the time. So while the percentage was high it wasn’t as much money as they had been previously making. It’s worth the read over on GM Skarka’s blog.

Personally I’m excited to see Adamant releasing more products, with their new “app price” model they’ve been releasing all new products at the $1.99 price point. I’ve been interested in seeing if they can sustain that model and continue to release new products. While I’m sure they are far more familiar with the math than I am, I’m glad to see them continuing to produce new work.
Adamant Entertainment is pleased to present Face of Mars, an adventure for our Savage Worlds setting of swords and science beneath the moons of Mars!
The garrulous old bargeman waited until his listeners were gathered on the deck, then he began to recount the ancient legend: “Once, before the canals were built, this was a great nation, a coastal nation, whose sea-ships fared far and wide across the world. It was ruled by mighty and wise leaders. The greatest of these Coast Lords was Noldes Bartarigan, called the ‘Emperor Who Turned His Face Skyward’, and the ‘Lord Whose Voice Becomes the Sun’. He was entombed up there, on the plateau, in an ageless tomb, provisioned for all Eternity.”
He glanced around, and beckoned for his listeners to draw closer. “But the legends say that, just as Emperor Noldes was great in his power and wealth, like many great men, his appetites were equally vast. He sought far and wide across all of Mars, and partook of every pleasure imaginable. The finest foods, wines, and women were his to sample at his leisure – but also the finest arts and poetry, and the conversation of the wisest and wittiest courtiers.”
“As he grew old on the throne, Emperor Noldes tired of pleasure. His appetites were unsated, yet he found no novelty anywhere, for he had experienced all. It was plain to him that final perfection had been attained. Thus he gathered his most valued and rarest goods together, and commanded his most noble and valued courtiers to attend him. He declared, by decree of his own Imperial will, that the magnificence of his court would live on beyond mortal death. His court itself would become eternal! He had a grand tomb built, fashioned in his own image, and when he breathed his last, he was interred there with all his goods — and all his courtiers, sealed in with him, alive!” The bargeman cackled at his listener’s shocked expressions.
Like most legends, there is a core of truth to the tale – but more has been lost than has been retained, and the truth of Emperor Noldes Bartarigan’s tomb is far stranger than the legend that is told! Can your heroes brave the perils and uncover the ancient secrets of the Face of Mars?

Personally, I’ve been anticipating this setting since I first discovered Triple Ace Games. I love the world of Alice, and a roleplaying game? To much. Honestly, I wish I had the extra cash to pre-order this one. If anyone picks it up, shoot me an e-mail and let me know your thoughts.
From Triple Ace Games:
WE’RE ALL MAD HERE!
In 1865, Lewis Carroll introduced the world to the delightful nonsense of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and followed up with Through the Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There in 1871. These tales present us with a world of whimsy and absurdity, and maybe just the tiniest hint of danger and adventure.
But what if there really was an Alice who visited Wonderland and what if it didn’t vanish as soon as she left? What if Wonderland’s childlike charm tarnished just a bit with the years, and it warped under the weight of its own nonsense? Maybe it’s all just a dream—or a nightmare—but it’s all very real for anyone trapped within.
Wonderland No More provides a setting for adventures within a realm of fantasy and the unexpected, a madcap ride that bounces between humor and horror. Here, when the Queen of Hearts cries, “Off with their heads!” it usually happens!
Take on the roles of wooden Chessmen, two-dimensional Cards, talking Animals, mobile Plants, Tweedle, or even the occasional Human. Knights quest for blessed artifacts of Alice, Little Girls master the deadly Queen’s Croquet, Haberdashers have a few tricks under their caps, and Gourmancers create magical foods and drinks (helpfully labeled “Eat Me” or “Drink Me” for those who can’t figure it out on their own).
Lighthearted or sinister, it’s all what you make of it in Wonderland—because we’re all mad here.
Contained in this book:
Six playable races, including Animals, Cards and Chessmen.
Over 40 new Edges and Hindrances explore the new character options the world of Wondrland.
Three Arcane Backrounds – holy priests who worship Alice or the Spirit of Conflict, Gourmancers who cook their powers into dishes and Haberdashers wielders of hat themed magics.
Detailed setting rules covering the science of Wonderland, its relation to our world, and more.
A fully detailed campaign.
Over twenty Savage Tales.
Side Quests and Other Diversions – suggestions for further adventures along various themes.
Full stats for dozens of allies, opponents and creatures the heroes will encounter on their journies.
Triple Ace Games presents Wonderland No More for the award winning Savage Worlds RPG – adventure in Alice’s world!
