Dark Harvest: The Legacy of Frankenstein - Resistance + PDF Bundle

Resistance is the first full supplement for the critically acclaimed RPG Dark Harvest: The Legacy of Frankenstein. Building on what has been described as “…without a doubt the best world description I have ever seen…” (Brian Fitzgerald, Game Knight Reviews*) the supplement focuses on the struggle between Victor Frankenstein’s Promethean authorities and the Creature’s Resistance fighters, as well as covering many other aspects of life within Promethea. Included are:

• A full items and equipment listing using 1920’s monetary values
• New and clarified rules and mechanics
• New NPCs, organisations, and Augmentations
• Detailed maps of military installations
• A full scenario with campaign suggestions
• Six page intro comic
• Detail on subjects ranging from the Resistance and the Promethean Military Forces, to the Suffragette movement in Promethea and the thriving black market; from escaping the country to how both the authorities and the Resistance try to stop that happening; from passive resistance by university staff to the knife in the dark arranged by a dark cabal misinterpreting Frankenstein’s wishes.
• Three new short stories by Iain Lowson, adding yet more flavour and detail to the Dark Harvest setting.

Resistance covers everything from merciless high politics in Victor Frankenstein’s inner circle of advisors, to the desperate fight for life and liberty in the mud and darkness between loyal soldiers from both sides; and looming over all, the relentless Dark Harvest continues…

Praise For Dark Harvest: The Legacy of Frankenstein

Andrew Girdwood, Geek Native, 7^th of March 2011

“Dark Harvest: The Legacy of Frankenstein is rich with flavour.  …If you’re a gamer who’s interested in the backdrop, in the story and in the drama – then I really, strongly, feel that Dark Harvest is for you.”

“In fact, the “Black Dice” system is one of my favourites because it respects probability better than most and adds that extra touch of drama.”

Todd Cash, Flames Rising Dot Com, 27^th of May 2011

“…the best writing fell to the development of the culture and history of Promethea.”

“The rule material permits excellent character creation and a strong lead into running a game with the book alone. The writing in this part of the book is also excellent.”

“This is a great book and setting.”

Michael Wolf, Stargazer’s World & RPG.net, 15^th of July 2011

(http://www.stargazersworld.com/2011/07/15/review-dark-harvest-legacy-of-frankenstein/)

“…even though the interior is mostly black and white, the book is totally gorgeous.”

“For me the absolute highlight of the book is the setting. Even if they sold just the setting without any rules, short stories, stats, etc. it would still be a must-buy.”

“DH:LoF is a dark game, there is no doubt about that. But it’s also extremely rich in flavour. The elaborate history of Promethea and the events leading to the formation of that state feel realistic and should excite any alternate history geek.”

Going Last (Podcast), Session 27, 21^st of July 2011

“I’d say 95% of the art in this book is amazing… I would liken it to some of the White Wolf books I’ve had in the past...”

“I like how rules-lite and how simple this is… It’s very much a storytelling game. But there’s a lot of crunch. Lovers of crunch? I don’t think we would miss out… There’s enough options to keep people who like crunch satiated while allowing storytelling people to really go hog-wild.”

“In a nutshell, the book is full of excellent fluff, great history lesson, you don’t really have to work hard to get the game running, and then the game runs very smoothly because it’s so rules-lite.”
