It's All Go in the Iron Kingdoms!

The Strangelight Pitch

Body

There's been a marked increase in Iron Kingdoms-related content since Steamforged Games acquired the Warmachine IP. Not only is there the ongoing Kickstarter for the Strangelight Workshop RPG to consider, but we can now enjoy a weekly drop of new material via Steamforged Games' Warmachine Wednesdays updates.

This week's update brings us a peek at the Maelstrom. A colossal machine fielded by the Cygnar faction, the Maelstrom promises to transform warfare in the Iron Kingdoms. Whilst the update doesn't feature this new machine in tabletop miniature form, it does include some lovely concept art (which we have included in this post; you're welcome!). We look forward to seeing one of these on a tabletop in due course ... even if we're not so keen on fighting against one!

Meanwhile, Steamforged Games' Kickstarter for the Strangelight Workshop RPG is now in its final 48 hours. A new game set in world of Warmachine, Strangelight Workshop uses 5e to bring a blend of the steampunk shenanigans we've grown use to via the Iron Kingdoms RPG with the supernatural investigations and interventions normally reserved for Call of Cthulhu.

The campaign has already reached its funding target and is now unlocking stretchgoals. At the time of writing, however, there is only 43 hours left in which to pledge ... so get your steam-powered skates on!
