Its a year ago since I published my OpenQuest adventure Life and Death.
So to celebrate I’ve dropped the print price from $23 (£15) to (£10) and the PDF from $12 (£8) to $8 (£5) until Sunday night 23:59 GMT
Want reviews?
Ever wondered what it is like to jump out of an aircraft 50,000 feet above a stricken oil tanker? Or how you’d handle defusing an IED? Or what it is like standing between a visiting VIP and that sniper’s bullet? Well now you can because The Company will put you right at the centre of the action.
In The Company you play an employee of The Company – an elite independent Private Military Service Provider, a global security concern capable of dealing with any situation from a high octane firefight to the tracking down of serial killers. If you can think of it, The Company can handle it.
This 214 page Roleplaying which puts you in the boots of a member of The Company. Play a solider, a pilot, a surveillance officer or any other concept you can dream up that fits the setting.
The game uses a modified version OpenQuest, a straight forward d100 system, with extra rules to handle Guns, non-lethal weapons, mental trauma and Vehicles.
It also contains pages of World information about Trouble hot spots, terrorist organisations, and Competitors to the company. A skill-full blend of real world information, written by someone who has worked in the UK Defence industry, and game-able fiction.
Two full scenarios :
Operation Bluebeard – A seemingly straightforward mission to parachute out of a Osprey onto an oil captured by Somali pirates and rescue the crew.
Operation F.I.S.H and C.H.I.P.S – As part of a Assault Group Maximum unit protect A.I.D.S charity workers in war torn Africa.
It is now available to pre-order via indiegogo.com until December 9th. The pdf of the game is ready now and all pre-orders will get the pdf.
Prices
Furthermore if the Goal of the pre-order is reached, every pre-order will get a pdf or print copy of the scenario Operation Camphor.
More information about The Company, including the first fifteen pages as a preview pdf on the D101 Games website.

A bit belated, but here’s a quick run down of what D101 is upto in 2011.
Wombat
The rules for Monkey were originally a fork of a system that I call Wombat, which used a single D6 as a randomiser instead of cards. Now that Monkey is out and about, I’m working on Wombat to make it into a light weight rules-wise but immersive play-wise story telling game, that I can use as a quick in-house system for a variety of ideas I have. Currently in Alpha, but aiming for a October (Furnace release).

Hi folks,
Just a quick one to say that Life and Death, an adventure/setting for OpenQuest, is nearly done. ETA August.
Here’s the cover by Jon Hodgson
It is the dawn of the 28th Century.
The Third Renaissance, or Bright Age as future historians will call it, is at its zenith.
After the catastrophic first contact with extra-terrestrial life that led to the horrific Solar System war, humanity clawed its way back from the brink and finally reached the stars. For millions of people, Earth’s sun is no more than another star in the night sky, a mote of light, a spiritual birthplace that they will never visit in their lifetimes.
It has been over a century since the Machine Civilisation gifted humanity technological marvels such as the Visser Cube, allowing wormhole travel across the vast chasms of interstellar space. Now interstellar distances grow ever shorter. How the myriad of splintered cultures view this gift varies. Some see it as a blessing, a way to draw humanity into a united whole. Others see it as a curse, robbing them of their individuality. And then there are those who would use it as a means to subjugate humanity and impose their own will upon all…
Across the river of heaven, humanity clings to a scattering of islands in a sea of stars. Players can take on a multitude of roles in this future: a crew member on an interstellar trader, a member of the mysterious Engineers’ Guild, a body-hopping Intercessionist agent – out to manipulate human cultures to its own secret ends, a Renouncer Zealot – intent on destroying Artificial Intelligence in all its forms, or perhaps one of the Reclaimers – planetary engineers dedicated to terraforming any viable planet they happen upon…
River of Heaven uses D101 games’ OpenQuest rules engine; a sleek and streamlined D100 rule set that enables you to maintain the tempo of your stories whilst keeping the rules simple and in the background.
