Darrin Drader’s novel Legacy of Ruin now available in digital format!

Legacy-of-Ruin-Cover-640x914

Vigilance Press is proud to present a new novel from Darrin Drader!

Naomi Oliviera lives in a world shaped by the cruelty of the past. Radiation-warped creatures haunt the sun-blasted wastes that once sheltered the promise of a better tomorrow. She lives day to day by scavenging technology from the ruins of the world that was, until her brother is kidnapped and she finds herself thrust into events much larger than her own personal survival. Naomi must challenge her own limitations and discover how far she is able to go for the one person she’s willing to die for.

From an arena of death to a city of murderous machines, Naomi’s adventure takes her across the Pacific Northwest on a tour of the post-apocalyptic nightmare. She won’t be alone on her trek, but trust is a hard currency to come by in this place and she will spend it sparingly. Through the maze of shifting loyalties and conflicting motives she discovers her foe is no ordinary kidnapper.

For someone has awakened with knowledge born before the great war, a man with a legacy that could reshape the world. His quest could unleash death the likes of which haven’t been seen since the bombs fell, since the world was transformed into a living hell. His mission is not simply to awaken an ancient technology.

He seeks to reclaim a legacy of ruin.

When you’re faced with the villains known as the Kaiju Kultists, it’s time to go big or go home! These monsters are so huge we had to design new rules for your Mutants and Masterminds Third Edition campaign to tell the tale.

You’ll also meet a whole troupe of evil Kaiju and their misanthropic human counterparts. From the undying cruelty of Itaihime, to the madness of Waira the Strange, a variety of fully developed super-sized menaces await within these pages. Or use the provided guidelines on designing Kaiju Kultists and other giant creatures to create menaces of your own!

Designed and written by veteran Mutants and Masterminds author Jack NorrisKaiju Kultists presents six fully detailed villains and a host of other NPCs. Illustrations are provided in full color by Denis Loubet, Denise Jones, and Alex Williamson, including print-and-play standees for all the featured characters.

The PDF copy also includes Hero Lab portfolio files for the important NPCs in the book. Grab your copy at Drive-Thru RPG by clicking this link!

The Kaiju Kultists want to stomp out all of humanity… only your heroes stand in their way!

Me First! (Tianxia is in my hands!)

FirstPhotoOfPrintBookOne of the great perks about being a publisher is that I get the first copy of the books I make. Today, I got my publisher’s proof copy of Tianxia: Blood, Silk & Jade. It looks super-sweet, I’m very proud of all the work that has gone into it. The shipment hasn’t landed at the distributors yet, but I’ll keep you posted as that happens. Domestic backer copies will start shipping around the 19th, assuming no bumps along the way, and I’ll keep you posted as to the shipments for our international backers through Chronicle City as they get their copies.

Thanks again to everyone who backed this project. I can’t wait to hear back from people when they get their hands on this book!
