The Kickstarter for the Cold City and Hot War RPGs is on fire!
This campaign (funded in six minutes!) is described as ‘twin RPGs that explore hidden agendas, trust, and relationships during an alt. history Cold War and subsequent nuclear skirmish.’ It features two RPGs, each of which explore the two distinctive phases of the conflict.
Cold City focuses on post-World War II Berlin. Dark horrors lurk in the city, unleashed by wartime experimentation into the more … esoteric sciences. Meanwhile, ignorant of, or uncaring toward, their past mistakes, the occupying, ‘Allied’ powers continue to pursue their own dark agendas.
Gameplay in Hot War takes place in the devastated London of 1963. It is only a year since the Cold War ‘went hot’ and the superpowers had at it with nuclear and arcane weapons . Now the survivors fight to survive in a ravaged, haunted Britain
These newly revised and reimagined editions have retained their distinct flavours and mechanics, whilst adding new material and ideas. Better yet, they are also presented in a stunning slipcase.
Add-ons include some swish Play Packs, which include a variety of beautifully produced hand-out, character sheets, maps etc.
Already fully-funded (in only six minutes, no less!), this campaign is now unlocking stretch goals. These include additional material to both the physical and digital additions of the rulebooks and playbacks.
Cold City and Hot War are the brainchild of industry veteran Jon Hodgson. This is his fourteenth Kicktarter. He also worked on Bob the Builder; legend.
See the Kickstarter campaign for more details.
