Birth of a new society...

The Clans, brainchild of Nicholas Kerensky, emerged from the ashes of the decimated Star League Defense Force to create a new order in distant lands. Ritualizing combat, they established a new society where only the strongest warriors rule and justice is won through battle.

Ironically, it would be the death of the Clans and rsquo; founder that would catalyze this new society and spur a period of amazing technological and social growth known as the Golden Century. This was the age where Kerensky and rsquo;s warriors and their descendants truly forged themselves into the powerful army that would one day return to the Inner Sphere in a righteous Crusade.

Era Digest: Golden Century is a mini-sourcebook that describes the development of the Clans at their origin in a new series format, giving players a glimpse of early Clan life, the basics of Clan rituals, and a look at the rise and fall of Clan Mongoose. Complete with rules and stats for several Golden Century units and mdash;including the first OmniMechs and mdash;Era Digest: Golden Century also features role-playing support for this crucial period in BattleTech history!

AN ANCIENT ISLAND HIDES AN AGELESS THREAT

Hear ye now a tale as old as the ocean: of a man of pride and vanity, and his desire to possess that which was not his to own. Of a great island temple to ancient gods, lost with its secrets for long centuries; and of spirits even older, with unknowable powers and great vengeance, who will fight to preserve the fragile balance and subtle treasures of their home. And of a band of wanderers whose travels bring them to the heart of this story where they will, as like as not, make of it a blood-red shambles.

FURY OF THE DEEP is an all-new adventure for the Dragon Warriors RPG, designed for a group of 4th-6th rank characters. Beguiled into the expedition of a mercantile lord, they will find themselves on the island of Xathos, lost from civilization for more than a thousand years. At its heart lie the ruins of a massive, labyrinthine temple to mysterious, forgotten gods... and at the heart of that a treasure sought by their patron, and the key to a story of terrible vengeance.

FURY OF THE DEEP is a digital-only release: it will not be issued in printed form. It is also the first adventure set outside the territory of Ellesland, and can lead directly to several of the campaign-threads in the forthcoming supplement In From The Cold. It is written by Jon Reed and Damian May who both worked on the earlier DW title Friends or Foes, has a stunning cover by Carolyn Laplante, and interior art and maps by Steve Dismukes.

Darkest Hour is the third chapter of the Dawn of the Artifacts storyline. This continuing storyline explores the secret history of Shadowrun, and offers clues to the true mastermind behind the hunt for the artifacts

Experimental Tech Readout: Primitives, Volume 1 samples the early technology designs that dominated the universe of BattleTech during the pre-Star League Age of War period. Each design featured in this book demonstrates the primitive technology level of the first generation of BattleMechs, the last generation of Combat Vehicles (before the and rsquo;Mech supplanted them), and the low-tech aerospace units that flew above them.

Statistics and Record Sheets are included for 13 Primitive BattleMechs, vehicles, aerospace units presented in this book, ready for play in advanced BattleTech games.
