Secret Master Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 The PDF version of Ken Hite's The Day After Ragnarok is available in the Hero store here. For those of you who don't know about this craziness, here's a description: Welcome to the world at the end of the world. The skies are shrouded with burning, oily smoke, the Earth groans under a poisoned corpse, and the only way out may be deeper into the belly of the beast. This is a world about a flavor and a feel as much as it is about extrapolation. That said, this world has something of an edge to it – it’s a world nearly killed by the death of wonder, although far from all the wonders are dead. Put the “grim” back in “grime” and see the world outside the smeared Perspex windscreen. Mighty-thewed barbarians and grim mercenaries roam the desolate plains of Ohio. Giant snakes, and those who worship them, prowl the ruins of St. Louis. Pirates battle the Japanese invaders in the South China Sea. Bold British agents, equipped with experimental bio-technology, thwart the insidious infiltration of Stalin’s humanzees. Sky-raiders strike from hidden bases in the Sahara, deros skulk in South American caverns, and the Texas Rangers fight electrical death worms to save Los Alamos. Kenneth Hite (Adventures into Darkness, Trail of Cthulhu) presents a world of savage swords and rocket men, of were-serpents and war-apes, from Australia’s battered Empire to the proud city-state of Chicago. -Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Re: Day After Ragnarok In Store Nope. I'm mentioned (as is my website) in the "Inspirations" section of the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Re: Day After Ragnarok In Store it's a very good book. Well written and worth stealing bits out of even if you don't use the setting. Entertaining even if you don't use any of it in a game even.
