Avalon Games Stocking Stuffers for December
Traveling down the highway for Thanksgiving at the family’s house, I got to thinking: the way the highways are set up, you could fit a whole ton of merchants and townsfolk-type situations at the interchanges and turn them into a market/bazaar with relative ease in a post-apocalyptic setting. Wouldn’t that be cool? Imagine the ambushes at tolls… the defense systems of giant rollers being sent down ramps to stop a charging army.
Next time you’re on the highway, turn the whole highway into your game world and see how it would look.

Avalon Games Stuff for November
No advice this month; I’m going to be participating in NaNoWriMo again this year (http://nanowrimo.org/
Actually, I do have some advice. If you want to work as a writer/editor, there are two ways to go about doing it: carefully and carelessly. Careful people pick their jobs, budget their time, and get paid what they’re worth. They are working.
Then there’s me. I work jobs with little pay, throw my hat out into every arena, and make a part-time salary for full-time work. I wouldn’t call it working.
Why would I do that? Because I LOVE what I do. I love throwing work in as a volunteer. I love offering my editing/writing services to the people who don’t have the money. I like being a nice guy.
I augment with other jobs. I’m finally paying off the last of my college loans after 17 years. Not exactly what was planned, but I did get a job in my chosen field, so that says something.
I’ve had a lot of fun and I’ve helped a lot of people. I can’t say I regret my choice.

Nova Roma, The Little Book of Big Bads
AVG4100-NR-0-3
41 Pages
$5.99
Writer: Charles Smith
Most super-villains are the jobbers of the superhuman community. They pull one or two high-profile crimes, get beat up by some heroes, and then spend the rest of their life in Innsmouth. Those villains skilled or lucky enough to be able to reliably escape can aspire to become recurring threats. Perhaps even a member of what-cannot-legally-be-called a Rogues’ Gallery. An “Archive of Reprobates”?
Then there are those threats that stand above the traditional pattern of agitation, incarceration, and escape. These are campaign-scale villains who can make their presence felt throughout potentially dozens of adventures. This book is a small collection of such Big Bads, suitably twisted for the Nova Roma universe. These characters are for use over the span of a campaign (or at least a linked series of adventures). Only very high-level characters will be able to take these villains head-on (and doing so robs them of some of their charm, so be careful).

Avalon Games Stuff for October
It’s October, and that means harvest season. Don’t forget that if your player characters are wandering at this time of year, food should be much more plentiful. Not only should foraging and hunting have an increased chance of succeeding, but farmers and villagers should all be more willing to part with some for passers-by.

AVG4100-NR-0-2

Writer: Charles Smith
The most important piece of documentation a New Roman superhero can have is their vigilante's license. Without one, any acts of heroism they might engage in are illegal, and in the eyes of the law they are no different from the villains they fight. The vigilante's license, however, brings with it certain restrictions. It ties the hero into the corrupt superhero industrial complex. They will have to play by the rules and learn to finesse the system. There will always be superheroes for which these compromises are unacceptable, vigilantes who work outside the law in order to enforce it. No team of heroes exemplifies this seemingly contradictory philosophy better than the Crimejammers.
Inside you will find details on the Crimejammers, their members and a lot of adventure hooks.
