Serpent Scales: Fragments from the World After the Serpentfall

There are a thousand tales to be told in the world of The Day After Ragnarok, some big and some small. Serpent Scales is an ongoing series of articles shining some light into the interesting little corners of the world after the Serpentfall. These smaller articles will cover the people, places and things of the post-Serpentfall world that are just a bit too esoteric for a full supplement. Sizes and prices will vary for each issue. But don’t worry, playability and usability are our top priority, no matter the length. All killer, no filler.

SERPENT SCALES #1: THE NEW KONFEDERACY

Rebuilding the nation from the wreckage.
Rebuilding it in strength and unity.
Rebuilding it free of taint and corrupt blood.
Rebuilding it into a beacon of faith and protection.
Surely everyone can agree with that plan. But the devil is in the details: the nation they rebuild is the Confederacy, or worse. The strength and unity they seek are tyranny and conformity. The blood they would purge is that of their fellow Americans. Their beacon is a flaming cross.
They are the Night Riders, the Army of the New Konfederacy, the Invisible Empire. They are the resurgent Ku Klux Klan.

Inside this 16-page PDF you'll find:
• Details on the Klan's organization, activities, and resurgence after the Serpentfall!
• Information on the Grand Kounty of Birmingham, and the Klan's own Army of the New Konfederacy!
• Statistics for Night Riders, Klandestine Agents, and ever the supernatural Hell Haint!
• The Town Subversion Generator, perfect for generating settings for new adventures in Klan-busting in the Mayoralities of North America!

This is the HERO 6th Edition version of Serpent Scales #1.

In the wake of the Serpentfall, Persia lies balanced between the desperate British Empire and the malevolent Soviet Union. Both powers have toyed with Persia in the past; both would gladly swallow it whole in the present. Their machinations reach a fever pitch in Persia’s historic capital...

This 35-page PDF City Sourcebook for Tehran in the world of The Day After Ragnarok features:
• Key locations in Tehran, both specific (the Shah’s Palace) and generic (”the refinery,” “the dingy cafe”) tuned for maximum action!
• A full map of Tehran, keyed to the text and waiting for you to make your mark!
• Friends and foes, from the Shah and his enemies to cultists and spies. Twisty plots by the SIS, NKVD, the Turks, the Nazi Ba’athists, and other players of the secret game. Four fully-statted NPCs, including the enigmatic ayatollah Khomeini!
• Three monsters of the Persian night — the dog-headed Kil-barak, the eerie avian Symir, and Ganj, the glittering jewel serpent!
• A Savage Scenario Starter: “A Key For the Peacock,” and a Tehran Urban Adventure Generator that can throw any game group into the middle of Tehran’s boiling conspiratorial action!

Mighty-thewed barbarians and grim mercenaries roam the desolate plains of Ohio. Giant snakes, and those who worship them, prowl the ruins of St. Louis. Pirates battle the Japanese invaders in the South China Sea. Bold British agents, equipped with experimental bio-technology, thwart the insidious infiltration of Stalin’s humanzees. Sky-raiders strike from hidden bases in the Sahara, deros skulk in South American caverns, and the Texas Rangers fight electrical death worms to save Los Alamos.

Kenneth Hite (Adventures into Darkness, Trail of Cthulhu) presents a world of savage swords and rocket men, of were-serpents and war-apes, from Australia’s battered Empire to the proud city-state of Chicago. The Day After Ragnarok includes:

• Complete rules and guidelines for creating a hero suited for these dark times, including thirty-five Heroic Templates!
• Dangerous ophi-tech devices built with knowledge torn from the Thing that nearly killed the world: fiber bombs, Marconi pistols, jet-packs, and more!
• A grand tour through the post-apocalyptic world of 1948, from the drowned East Coast to the Soviet empire behind the Serpent Curtain—including the Top Five Places to Be Attacked By Pirates, the Top Five Places to Find A Remote Castle Ruled By A Madman, and much more
• Stats for more than thirty foes to shoot, stab, or sneak past: Serpent cultists, Spetsnaz troopers, swamp devils, and ... snakes! Giant, 80-foot long snakes, that is!
• Over 20 pages of pure adventure: Four campaign types, each with a sample campaign laid out in nine scenario seeds. A massive Adventure Generator, helping you build every tale from the Hook to the Henchmen to the Twist ending! Four worked examples, taking the Adventure Generator’s raw numbers and running with them.
• Plus old-school random encounters for the devastated wastelands of America—will you face slave-raiding Klansmen, the terrifying fly-by-night, or a desperate band of escaped Wehrmacht P.O.W.s?

And across it all lies the trillion-ton corpse of the Midgard Serpent, killed by Truman’s atomic fire but still poisoning the Earth with every night that passes. Welcome to the world at the end of the world. Welcome to... THE DAY AFTER RAGNAROK!
