Privateer Press has announced the October release of daring exercise in steampunk role-playing, the Iron Kingdoms Full Metal Fantasy Role-Playing Game: Core Rules (MSRP $59.95), a full-color 360-page hardcover that allows players to embark upon a journey of adventure and intrigue in a steam-powered world that is contested with gunfire and steel.  Aided by mechanika and mecha-like Steamjacks, players get to explore the soot-covered cities of the Iron Kingdoms.

 

The Iron Kingdoms RPG Core Rules book features a robust and elegant rules system that builds upon the rules of Warmachine and Hordes and adapts them to meet the complex needs of roleplaying games.  The Core Rules book includes complete rules for character generation that will allow players to assume the roles of fell callers, field mechaniks, gun mages, warcasters, and more.

 

The Core Rules also contains details on all the playable races including humans, gobbers, losans, Nyss, ogrun, Rhulfolk, and trollkin, plus the information that allows players to explore both the science of mechanika and the occult mysteries of alchemy. In addition the book provides an excellent overview of life in the Iron Kingdoms and the history of western Immoren.
