I dunno about you, but I’m off to Pennsic again so you’re getting Avalon Games’ monthly come-uppings a week early!
So what am I doing at the world’s biggest medieval reenactment? I’m running a LARP again! Well, actually it’s an assassins/spies game where they have to follow clues and kill each other until someone finds the prize. I’m also teaching classes on how our ancestors used poisons in warfare and assassinations, how to identify poisons, and how assassins really worked in the old days. What fun!
So the advice I’m going to leave you this month before wandering off to a world with no computers or internet for two weeks is:
-Never stop learning.
-Take vacations.
-Always try to help other people.
Here’s this month’s releases.

One Knight Games, Vol 2, Issue 11
AVG4900-26
17 Pages
A.J Keening
$2.99
The Empire
Seize the Crown
Two sons were born to an Emperor—one light and one dark. The light son was the Emperor's favorite, and the Emperor had no shame in showing it. And so, as they grew up, the younger, darker brother seethed with jealousy until one day the dark brother decided that he would make himself Emperor. Through dark machinations, he saw to it his brother was exiled and his father isolated. Then, one fateful day, he directed his army to attack the palace.
The Emperor chooses to make his final stand in his throne room, from whence he once ruled his empire with a firm hand. He expects to die there, and soon. But the light brother has learned of the dark brother's ill intent, and returns from his exile at this pivotal moment. Will he reach his father in time?
In this Adventure, three of the Players will be playing “story characters.” Each story character has a single rule that must be obeyed during character generation. One of the Players will be the Emperor. The only thing the Emperor must be is old enough to have two fully grown sons. A second Player will be the Light Brother. The only thing the Brother must be is young enough to be the son of the Emperor. A third Player (if there is one) will be the Emperor's Advisor. The only thing the Advisor must be is allied with the Emperor. Other than that, the Players have full control over who these characters are, from name to abilities to chosen skills.
When you want to game for just one night, One Knight Games provides everything you need. From reading the rules to making characters to playing the adventure, everything is geared toward having it all happen in a single night. The game rules are free, so download the system at http://www.rpgnow.com/product/124526/One-Knight-Games-Free-Rules?cPath=1658 _19945 and check it out. Then try out the new adventures in the coliseum, which combines heroics and intrigue!
The adventures of One Knight Games provide the story, maps, and descriptions of encounters—everything you need to run the adventure. However, they do not tell the GM what to say during an encounter, nor do they dictate how to run said encounters. These things are up to the Gamemaster to decide. This issue of One Knight Games offers a full night’s worth of fun, everything you need to run a fast, fun game with little effort and very little prep time.
Need a fast game to fill the night? Avalon is ready to help with our One Knight Game system. Get a free copy of the rules on the website, and get your game on.

Infinite Class, Warlock
AVG 3100-2.0-CL-WR
8 Pages
$2.99
A. J. Kenning
The Warlock is a warrior-type esper. They apply the strength of their psionic powers to the various battlefields of the Universe, from the largest fleet battles to the smallest of duels. Some also do work as mercenaries, but rarely. They do not like to sell their allegiance so cheaply.
Warlocks believe only in power. The nature of their belief in power differs from one Warlock to the next, but their existence is always defined by power and its uses. If a Warlock chooses to serve anyone besides themselves—and that is rare—they do so for loyalty, not for money. Those who can command a Warlock's loyalty must be mighty indeed.
Unlike their Adept cousins, Warlocks do not believe in sealing themselves away in some monastery while contemplating the meaning of the Universe. Nor do they believe in sealing away their emotions—just the opposite on both accounts. The Warlock believes in engaging with the Universe, usually aggressively, by forcing their will upon it. And that will is defined by the strength of their emotions, not the power of their minds.
A full player class usable with Infinite Futures 2.0

Comic Book Adventures, Mission Book 2
AVG 4100-CBA-MS2
95 pages
$9.99
Robert Hemminger
This is the second in a series of missions usable with Comic Book Adventures. These low-level missions and adventures are geared toward second- to fourth-level heroes to continue your fun solo games. The mission book is packed full of new quests and escapades, and builds on the story and plot line begun in the Mini-Mission and the first Mission Book.
Note: that this is not a full product and you will need a copy of Comic Book Adventures and Heroes Wear Masks, both by Avalon Games.
Comic Book Adventures uses Avalon’s popular Heroes Wear Masks RPG as the base for the system, which in turn is based on Pathfinder, so if you are familiar with that great RPG game engine, then you are already to go. If you have yet to play Pathfinder or Heroes Wear Masks, then here is your opportunity to jump in.
So get ready, sew your costume, grab your cape, and power up your energy beams: the city is in need of a hero and you must answer the call!
