A while back I may have mentioned working on a Victorian Superhero RPG for Chaosium's BRP system. Well, Agents of the Crown is now out! Thank goodness! Two years of on-again, off-again work finally realized! Thanks to Karl Perrotton, Charlie Krank, and Dustin Wright for all of the support.
The book features low-powered supers action in the Victorian era, focusing on London, the Great Game, and anything related to them. I also wrote it to be miniatures friendly, so you can use whatever Victorian era figures you have to help show the action.

Random Musings
This weekend I will be running a game of the Dark Heresy RPG from FFG. The first session will mainly be character generation and the beginning of the published adventure, Purge the Unclean, with a short prologue sequence written by me.
I am reading Dan Abnett's Traitor General now. Anybody who reads this blog on a regular basis knows Abnett is one of my favorite sci-fi writers. I had read the first two Gaunt's Ghosts novles years ago, and then bailed out on the series. I really prefer his Eisenhorn and Ravenor stuff. I dig the whole Inquisition angle, and when I read military sci-fi, I prefer small unit actions. While in Barnes & Noble the other day looking for something to read during the morning commutes, I picked up Traitor General and realized it was a Gaunt's Ghosts novel, but focused on small unit actions on a planet held by Chaos. Very cool! And I'm nearly done with it, which is a feat for me since I am a slow reader and normally read only the train or bus.
There is also some movement on a project I finished writing last year for Chaosium, the Call of Cthulhu folks. It's a monograph called Agents of the Crown written for the Basic Role-Playing book. It's essentially a setup for playing Victorian superheroes akin to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. The layout is being fixed up right now, and I should be able to turn it into Chaosium in a couple of weeks.
All that and I have spent the last two weeks painting a Tau battleforce boxed set I got for doing some painting for an associate of mine. I went with a very drab, military scheme. It meshed well with my painting style, and I think it works well with the models. I will snap some pics this weekend if I get a chance.
