Official news and updates from Tab Creations LLC.
Hot off the press, we've just released What Comes Thereafter, a full campaign for our flagship Trystell: Reborn setting! Picking up where the "What Lies Beneath" campaign (found in the back of the Trystell: Reborn hardback) left off, this campaign presents fifteen new adventures in and around the core city of Melanoc. It pits players against political opponents, invading armies and the plots of sinister secret societies. The campaign should be enough to bring a party of characters from Distinguished level, all the way to up Legendary! It's our first higher-level campaign....
You may be thinking to yourself, "There used to be posts here going back to 2007. Where did they go?" Don't worry, you can still find them. They've just been moved to the Development Blog. In fact, as of early 2014, all of the old Tab Creations Collective posts can be found there. This blog has been reserved for official announcements regarding Tab Creations LLC....
Like the one before it, this quarter has been both busy and quite productive....
The moment that we at Tab Creations have been waiting for the last few months is finally here. Today we officially release the Arth Campaign Setting. Arth is an alternate history world set in a bizarre and action-filled 1904. The setting has everything from intrigue, to mystic secrets, to kick-in-the-door action. The setting also includes a variety of alternate systems and improvements to the rules found in the Saga Machine Companion. These new systems include a refined take on using a deck of poker cards as Saga Machine's core action mechanic, a streamlined system for tracking Action Points, a new take on the Health system and the Powers system, as well as a new way of handling Reaction. Take a look at the link above....
Leading up to the release of our Arth alternate history setting we present our final Freebie Spotlight in this batch. This spotlight contains a new system for tracking damage and health--one that streamlines the process and doesn't require keeping a full health track on paper! Also included in this spotlight is a new system for handling defense in combat, as well as handling defense against powers or other mental effects. Check it out: Defense & Toughness!...
We've talked about the fact that it was coming and now it is here. Today we are happy to unveil the full world map for our upcoming alternate history setting, Arth. You can find the full Arth World Map here. On the map you can see the full world and all the politics entities found on Arth, from the Chinese colony of Fei Zhou to the Lone Star Republic. And this is just the next release in our series of releases leading up to the full release of the Arth setting. Expect more Freebie Spotlights in the near future, and then the print release of Arth itself....
And now here's the next Freebie Spotlight! This one is Card-Based Actions! While we've released alternate rules similar to this one before (see the Saga Machine Companion), this is a new-and-improved version--one that sees use in our upcoming Arth setting! So put down the dice and pick up the cards....
Here we have the first of a new round of Freebie Spotlights that show off some of the revisions and optional rules in use in our upcoming Arth alternate history setting. This Freebie Spotlight is Action Point & Reaction Updates. In this document you will find ways to speed up combat when using the Action Point system, as well as a different take on the Reaction mechanic, making it very much like the Recognition system found in the Saga Machine Companion....
As we've made progress with the Arth alternate history setting, we are proud to release the official Arth Character Sheet. As one can see from the sheet, the Action Module presented in the upcoming Arth booklet tweaks the Saga Machine rules significantly. In the upcoming weeks we will be releasing many of these new rules as Freebie Spotlights, so stay tuned....
As mentioned in this quarter's Tab Update, we are now ready to unveil the logo for our upcoming Arthalternate history setting. You can see it below:...
