I am opening a new thread as things are progressing at a decent rate on this project now.  This is a continuation of an old mostly unnecessary to read threat: http://www.herogames.com/forums/topic/86228-cross-secret-agents-of-the-vatican-source-book/

I hear the book has changed names.  You heard right, it is called Secret Agents of CROSS and it now has a logo so there is no going back.

What is Secret Agents of CROSS, you ask?  Here is the shortest possible description: 

Secret Agents of CROSS is a tabletop RPG where agents are tasked to stop terrorists, ancient evils and recover dangerous artifacts.

Besides the logo is there any other interesting news?  Sure.  We have also taken on a regular artist and a second writer to help me move things forward.  One new facet of the project is that my new writer writes a lot of material in Savage Worlds so we will be creating two separate editions of CROSS with one still being HERO System and the other being Savage Worlds.  

Is that it? Goodness no, but a good spy has to have patience.  Stay tuned for the next .communiqué.

Published appearances in the books for each character entry would be helpful.

Maybe this will help:

Assuming a character has a decent Background narrative, and good Power and Complication descriptions, do you feel that the other Background sections: Personality, Quote, Power/tactics, Campaign Use and Appearance are very useful?

Often I feel they end up repeating aspects of the Background description especially Personality and Campaign use.  Also, if there is a picture then the Appearance is likely repetitive.  So that leaves Power/Tactics as potentially valuable and the Quote as fun if the creator puts some thought into it. 

Anyone have any comments on this?

Strike Force should have its own Kickstarter.  It will be a big mistake to not use the kickstarter marketing machine for a nostalgic relaunch of a beloved property.  It has many qualities that could generate a response that way over funds it and provides its own ongoing future.

I say lets bring back Justice, Inc. and Danger International.

These three files should be renamed with a .zip extension and they can then be unpacked.

The printers approved my cover file and I have ordered another proof to look over.  Fingers crossed that the proof is correct this time.

Pete

I have ordered the Evilution Unchained print proof from rpgnow.com. Hopefully it is "gorgeous".

Next video--hairy back!!

Many Thank Yous to Jason for getting Evilution Unchained into the Hero Store during this busy time of year.

*Its a joke, USPTO.  A joke.

Thanks for the comments, DailN.  

It looks like somebody owes someone a thank you for telling him to order a proof copy. 

Oh yeah.  Thanks Scott Baker!

Christmas has come early!  My proof has already arrived.  I created an unboxing video for you to experience it with me.

I ordered a proof from createspace.com last week and it should arrive tomorrow.  Fingers crossed that it needs minimal changes.

Here is a sample of one of the main NPC's artwork and their background info.

The style of the layout in Evilution Unchained is intended to "feel" like a comic book so we have provided artwork for the included NPCs in this style. Here is an example of a scientist the PCs will likely meet:

Well now I want them too.

How long until we can purchase it?

 

I have a few copies out for comments.  Once I get those back I can start to determine when it will be ready to go.

I certainly would like to do that.  Are there any editors out there that would be interested in helping with the final draft?  If so, please PM me.

Pete

Added more accessible previews of the map samples.  Any comments?
