Cogs and Commissars Kickstarter

Beloved cabal,

Atlas Games, publisher of Unknown Armies, has launched a new Kickstarter campaign in an effort to publish a clever card game about robot revolutions: COGS AND COMMISSARS. It's about playing a faction of mass-produced worker robots led by an influential leader whose goal it is to convince and sway as many citizens over to their side and stage a revolution before the other factions do.

We'd sure like your support in producing this game, so here's a few helpful links:

• LAUNCH VIDEO: Here is where you may learn about the game and share with your comrades.
• PRINT AND PLAY: Here is where you may download the rules and cards in People's Digital Format (PDF) so that you are enlightened.
• KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN: Here is where you may join the revolution and bring about a new era, free from the yoke of lesser card games.

We love and we hope you folks will, too. Thanks!

Happy New (Inquisition) Year!

Beloved cabal,

The storms assail us here in frosty Minnesota but our work on Unknown Armies 3 continues. Today in this update: New GM Month and another Production Update!

New Gamemaster Month

We've joined Monte Cook Games and Pelgrane Press to promote New GM Month throughout the 2nd half of January and the first half of February. MCG has done this for a couple of years, and this year they invited us to be a part of it. So our feisty UA3 scribe WJ MacGuffin cranked up his GM brain and helped us put together a series of posts to help new Unknown Armies GMs pull things together to run the character creation process and a first session!

Also, this past Friday night I took part in a live Twitch stream chat with MCG folks Charles Ryan and Sean K Reynolds as well as Cat Tobin of Pelgrane Press. It was recorded and is now available to view on the Atlas Games YouTube channel.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran or you're still trying to muster up the confidence to run UA3 for the first time, I hope you'll check out this event and share the news on social media and message boards you frequent. Thank you!

Production Update

We're still putting together more Campaign Starter Kits and beginning to assemble our resources for the PDF Reference Tools. In addition, we've got an Unknown Armies surprise for all of you this spring that we can't tell you much about yet - but it should give you new GMs more to work with.

We're still thrilled to see so many of you posting about your campaigns and sharing them online with the wider world. I hope you continue to do that and tag us on social media: use @atlasgames for Twitter, especially, so we can reshare your occult workings with others.

Until next time, stay warm and keep flip-flopping those percentiles!

Happy USDA Grade Turkey Week, beloved cabal.

Here's your conveniently trussed, well-basted, lightly seasoned monthly update!

Where We Are At with Stretch Goals

We've released Book Four: Expose and Book Five: Mine to all of you in PDF, and Thomas is wrapping up the additional e-reader versions for you. After those come into our hands, we're going to launch the digital editions of these books for the wider public. 

We've released two of the seven Campaign Starter Kits, but we're doing some additional development work on the others to really tighten up the presentation somewhat to make it even easier for you to start a campaign with them. You'll get all of these before the year is out, if everything goes according to plan.

We're planning to release the PDF Reference Tools pack in the next couple of months, also. This is essentially a master index and useful references linked together, so it's not as huge a release as a new sourcebook but we're hoping it makes things even easier for you to run the game at your table or online.

Greg's Mashing Words Again

The prolific pen of Greg Stolze has once again scribed a story of weird and/or unsettling content for you to enjoy. As he is known to do, he's releasing this new one, a web comic called SEX FACTORY, to everybody if he can raise enough cold, hard digital cash. To be a part of this phenomenon and contribute to the stretch goal (it's only a $1000, fans) visit the Kickstarter for SEX FACTORY here.

Try the Green Beans

Until next time, have a wonderful Thanksgiving (for our cabalists in the USA) and keep sharing those awesome #UA3RPG stories and weird links so that @atlasgames can spread the magick around.

Peace,
Cam and the Unknown Armies production team

Happy Halloween, Continued!
