I try to keep up with G+, but I only see the notifications for there on my phone - and then only when it decides to let me know there are any! I'll try to remember to look more often/closely.

Thanks, Jagerfury That warms the cockles of my hearts! I'll have to find a bigger box to keep them in, if they're all going to keep merrily bouncing around like they are now.

Also available in print (just in time for next Christmas!!!). http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/200721/Rolling-Thunder-fanzine-3?src=newest

I think it will be too late for us to get there this October, but it is something I'll look into for next year. Having said that, I'm going to have a quick look at travel and accommodation options, just in case there is a way to do it. I think the idea of teaming up is a good one - maybe I'll explore that... We are a bit slack when it comes to conventions, I usually only go to the ones I'm invited to guest at or that coincide with other holidays - but SPIEL, like GenCon, is on my list of "have to do it one day" cons. Studio 2 will have distributed our stuff so some should be there, but I realise that's not the same.

There is a short piece in the prologue of The Alchemist's Revenge set in the conflict, but I'd be wary of encouraging the author too much by buying the book

A Clockwork of Orange: The Heydelberg Horror from Cakebread & Walton is now available as a hardback! 1610. All of Europe teeters on the brink of war. Religious and political factions manoeuvre for advantage. In the scramble for power, lost knowledge is brought to light, and discoveries from the New World change our conceptions of reality. But there are some things man was not meant to know… The Heydelberg Horror is the first part of a new campaign for Clockwork & Cthulhu. A Clockwork of Orange will take the agents of the Karolinium in Prague across Europe to the dark secret at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire. Requires the Clockwork & Chivalry Core Rulebook, 2nd Edition. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/208684/The-Heydelberg-Horror?src=newest

I always think of an all out attack as against one target - it isn't subtle and thought through, it is a desperate discharging of pistols or reckless hacking where the attacker hopes to win through sheer brute force and frenzied violence.

Thank you for pointing my way to an interesting arena - 17th century fireworks as weapons!!! I'm sure there must be a mini-article in this for Rolling Thunder!

Good question! I found the following: "The fire-pike (trompa de feugo) was a pike fitted with a bottle of burning combustibles, used both ashore and aboard ship." B.Little, Pirate Hunting, 2010 Plenty of other great stuff in the chapter too! https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=MW8wMof8MGgC&pg=PT122&lpg=PT122&dq=what+were+seventeenth+century+fire+pikes&source=bl&ots=fGBMv7Upb3&sig=GkvqTv4G8OQ0xys-CHTk-Cd1M2s&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiev5vMssfSAhVoJsAKHapyCl0Q6AEIOzAF#v=onepage&q=what were seventeenth century fire pikes&f=false

Thanks, Harshax. Yes, what Jakob said

Cakebread & Walton are proud to announce that from March 1st 2017 they will have a new member of the permanent team. Gary Buckland will be joining full-time as an Associate Partner. Since the start of Cakebread & Walton in 2009, Gary has worked with us on many individual projects and is responsible for some fantastic cover art and designs, as well as some outstanding interior artwork. Gary has been working in the art, design, production and publication business for much of his life and with him on board on a more permanent basis, we'll be able to announce an even more robust and prolific schedule moving forward and further improve on our production standards. We're really looking forward to working with him and welcome him to our little company. Speaking to us from his home in Innsmouth, Gary said, “In an industry filled with the most creative and wonderful people, Messrs. Cakebread and Walton stand tall with their work within and love for the RPG industry. I very much look forward to working more closely with them on lots of exciting projects and extend a warm welcome to them to join me at the local Esoteric Order of Dagon church very soon.” Gary is joining Cakebread & Walton just as we are on the brink of bringing out Michael Scott Rohan's The Winter of the World RPG for OneDice (and which will also be 5E compatible) and A Clockwork of Orange for our Renaissance D100 ruleset - and watch out for a host of other releases over the next few months!

An excellent reference! Of course, at the time of Dark Streets, it was even grislier - sure, there were still body snatchers, but they weren't above having a good three way scrap at the gallows for the bodies - students vs surgeons vs families...

Issue #2 of the Cakebread & Walton fanzine "Rolling Thunder" is now available in print for the princely sum of $5. It includes new backgrounds and adventures for OneDice Pulp and OneDice Urban Fantasy, Roman character creation and adventure for Renaissance, and a new protagonist for Dark Streets 2nd ed. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/198181/Rolling-Thunder-Fanzine-Issue-2?src=newest

I couldn't get my Sopwith started, so decided to order some reference books and return to my K&C notes instead. It'll take a while, because I still have some editing and other duties, but work on K&CV has recommenced - I started fleshing out some more of the personalities, geography, politics and plot today.

The holiday edition of the C&W fanzine, Rolling Thunder, is out now! Pay want you like for a host of seasonal adventures, and news of exciting new things coming in the new year!

And of course, Rolling Thunder is still going strong - I believe issue 3 is being worked on for a Christmas release. Hopefully we'll see some C&C stuff in there at some point

I imagine we'll have some more pure C&C at some point. For the first time in a long time our decks are clearing. As Jeff Mindlin points out, we have the splendid A Clockwork of Orange in the works - that's being authored by Jeff Mason, who really is doing a wonderful job. The writing on the first installment is pretty much in the bag. I'm also nearly finished on the editing of a few other works, and The Winter of the World RPG is mostly done. For those who don't know, Ken was pretty poorly for much of last year, hence the lag between the writing, art gathering and editing and the final production. But the good news is that I should have a fairly clear run in 2017 now that a lot of our outstanding projects are moved on past the point where I have anything much to do. Sure, we'll still have our other lines being added to as well, but hopefully I'll have some more time to do some actual writing myself. As ever, I will do my best to keep folk posted - although we have a growing stable of writers, we are a tiny company and our output is pretty high considering, but we can never get all the things we have planned to production at once. None of our lines have been forgotten or dropped (although I understand the schedule must feel that way at times!).

The latest issue of Rolling Thunder, the C&W fanzine is available as a free/"pay what you like" download now. Laden with new cool material for OneDice, Renaissance and Dark Streets. It includes new backgrounds and adventures for OneDice Pulp and OneDice Urban Fantasy, Roman character creation and starting adventure for Renaissance, and a new protagonist for Dark Streets 2nd ed. The PDF is available from the link below, the print version will follow in a couple of weeks. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/198181/Rolling-Thunder-Fanzine-Issue-2?src=newest
