Hello Minions,

Hello Evil Minions,
Welcome to the next installment of our CA sneak peeks. This time we’re going to focus on Escape From New York. This was definitely a fan favorite and one of the first movies that came to mind when we started discussing this strategy. In fact, we wrote the adventure BEFORE we snagged the license. We used it as a selling point to gain access to the rest of the movie IPs.
Cinematic Adventures are a tool we use to introduce you to the world of this iconic movie property. Half of this 100-page printed or digital book will be focused on introducing new mechanics within this world. The second half will be an adventure introducing you to this campaign setting. If an individual Cinematic Adventure is successful, we’ll move on to creating more sourcebooks to flesh out the world even more.
What's in Part 1?
The first part will have new classes, as well as backgrounds and professions that are specific to the setting. We will have new rules and guidance for Game Masters to create adventures in the world including a map of Manhattan Island. Dive deep into the Pliskin-Verse and make your dystopian dreams/nightmares come true.
What’s in Part 2?
The second part is an adventure set on Manhattan Island, now known as the New York Maximum Security Penitentiary. Playing as a group of condemned criminals, the heroes must recover the disarming codes to a failsafe nuclear weapon before they and the rest of New York are wiped off the map. Download the first encounter here.
1. Hey, Are You Snake Plissken? Nope, this isn’t Snake’s story, it’s yours. Cinematic Adventures aren’t about recreating the movies, they are about giving you the tools to have your own adventures in the world of Escape from New York. Besides, we heard Snake was dead.
2. Welcome to the Rotten Apple. What we loved about D&D’s Baldur’s Gate or Pathfinder’s City of Absalom, was that entire campaigns could be had within the city walls. We see the same potential with New York as a maximum-security prison. What would you do in a lawless city of millions? One with its own society, social hierarchy, and self-rule?
3. You Want to Meet the Duke? “You can't meet the Duke! Are you crazy? Nobody gets to meet the Duke. You meet him once and then you're dead!” The New America of Escape from New York is riddled with crime. Crime lords like The Duke call the shots in America’s free zones. Rise up the ranks, build your street cred and perhaps you can some day challenge The Duke for control of the streets.
4. Get Your Hands Dirty. New York is not for the faint of heart. We’ve got new backgrounds including Cannibal and Born in the Slums. Free zone professions like Gladiator and Fixer. Not to mention new down and dirty classes such as the Motorhead, Gutter Rat, and Street Warrior.
5. Get Your Motor Running. It’s time to pimp your rides with rules for vehicle modifications and customization. Whether you want to arm your old Chevy with a pair of machine guns, or install chandeliers on your AMC Gremlin, we will have you covered with crazy customizations for a dystopian world.

Hello Evil Minions,
Welcome to the next installment of our CA sneak peeks. This time we’re going to focus on Total Recall. This will be one of my favorite adaptations so I’m excited to give you a few hints as to what’s in store.

What's in Part 1?
The first part will usually introduce one or more new classes, as well as backgrounds and professions that are specific to this world. In many cases, we’ll have to also introduce new rules mechanics to make the world function. In other cases, we will flesh out the popular locations within the world so you can create your own adventures.
What’s in Part 2?
The second part will be a full-fledged adventure set within the world.
1. The Story Won’t Be About Douglas Quaid. Quaid’s story is just one of many in this world. Mars is a planet rife with both conflict and mystery. Earth corps battle for control over the planet, its secrets, and its resources. Mutant rebels fight for self-determination. Underlying it all is the legacy of the ancient Martians. Will they be a boon to mankind or a harbinger of its doom?
2. Mutations and other mysteries. Fancy a mutant arm with a mind of its own, eyes that can see in the dark, or strange psychic powers? The unique radiation on Mars is a curse to some, and a blessing to others. Choose from a range of mutant feats, or let the dice determine your fate with random mutations.
3. No Problem, we can remember it for you. Memories are tricky things, and in the world of Total Recall you can buy and sell them wholesale. Download a sentimental moment, a new skill, or the adventure of a lifetime. But be careful who has access to your mind, who knows what they could do to you.
4. Get ready for an explosive surprise. Do you want the perfect disguise, including a detachable exploding head? How about a nasal tracking device? Perhaps Martian artifacts are more your jam. Whatever strange and wondrous tech you are after, we’ve got you covered.
5. Play Both Sides of the Struggle. Choose to help the corporations establish order on the Mars Settlement or fight for the rebellion. Or both! Now that there is air on Mars. Now that there is air on Mars, what other strange artifacts have the Corporations been hiding from their citizens?

Hello Evil Minions,
Welcome to the next installment of our CA sneak peeks. This time we’re going to focus on Highlander. This one is clearly one of the most talked-about adventures on social media. It’s spawned a lot of questions and a lot of jokes about how we can only sell one book because… well you know the rest.
