The core rules are my own handiwork, but lead Cairo designer J. Lee Howard really brought this project to life. Here's his blurb explaining what you'll find in this slick new book:
Chaos in Cairo, the sequel to Chaos in Carpathia, is a set of fast-play rules based on the Goalsystem engine and designed for skirmish-level miniatures gaming. The game pits two-fisted pulp adventurers against menacing supernatural creatures and their minion set against the backdrop of 1920’s Egypt. The book contains four new warbands (Mummies, Archaeologists, Cultists and The Sons of Ra), six new scenarios, rules for vehicles and mounted models and new weapons, traits and combat maneuvers. Chaos in Cairo is a complete, stand-alone game and is compatible with Chaos in Carpathia, allowing players to mix and match warbands, weapons and scenarios from both books.
We know this one has been a long time coming. Thanks for your patience and we hope you'll agree with us that the long wait has been worth it!

This is good news, but it also means I can no longer feel elitist with my copy of the first edition rules...
ReplyDeleteOOh sounds great! Will purchase a copy when they become available.
ReplyDeleteAny idea on when this would see print?
ReplyDeleteThe PDF is available as of 10/25/2009. Print copies will be available at some later date.
ReplyDeleteScott, do either of the Chaos books include any sort of rules for building your own characters?

Hello there,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you get this a lot, but... I'm looking for the fantasy version of the Chaos games. Is there anything like that in the horizon?
Do you know anything relevant to that (similar rules, fan-made modification, etc.)?
Thanks,
O.
