Modiphius Entertainment has announced a marketing and distribution deal to support the far future indie RPG Fragged Empire by Wade Dyer of Design Ministries - On Kickstarter Now!

"Betrayed by your creators, you are a genetically engineered remnant emerging from the ruin of genocidal war..." sets the scene as players emerge from 100 years of brutal tribalism & savagery after a terrible war and are just now returning to space.

Wade has been working on Fragged Empire for the last four years with the goal of creating a stylish and exciting sci-fi tabletop game with his excellent eye for design. "I really want the art in my book to show 2 things. Firstly, it needs to convey the tone of the setting; beautiful, modern, detailed, subtle depth, but vibrant & fun. That mix of energy & grit. Secondly, it needs to convey the passionate craftsmanship that has gone into this book." - Wade

Fragged Empire follows four non-human races as they seek to build a new society after barely surviving a genocidal war. As an example one of the playable races (the "Nephilim") are the descendants of the genetically engineered army that all but wiped out civilisation.  The drip fed artwork over the last few months has revealed a stunning universe of images. 

The game rules are already written and in final playtesting with Wade showing off a sample printed colour hardback and he aims to fund a print run and expansion of the universe through supplements and miniatures with a Kickstarter for Fragged Empire launched today at: 
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wadedyer/fragged-empire-tabletop-rpg

www.fraggedempire.com shows many of the setting & rule highlights from this book. An adaptable rule system, with nonlinear character progression & tactical miniature combat. All set in a deep post, post-apocalyptic setting that explores themes of cultural tension, genetic engineering & exploration.

Modiphius are supporting Fragged Empire with marketing, distribution of the product line to backers and retail distribution once it's ready. For more information or to arrange an interview with Wade please contact us here.

Thunderbirds Are Go For Co-operative Tabletop Game By Matt Leacock!

2/6/2014

Modiphius Entertainment is proud to announce a licensing deal with ITV Studios Global Entertainment to develop a co-operative tabletop board game based on the classic 1960s’ television series Thunderbirds.

Set in the year 2065, Thunderbirds follows the exploits of International Rescue: a secret organisation committed to saving human life, secretly founded and funded by the millionaire Tracy family. International Rescue has a host of technologically advanced land-, sea-, air-, and space-rescue vehicles and equipment ready to launch at a moment’s notice.

Stand by for action. 5!...4!...3!...2!...1!...Thunderbirds Are Go!

To bring the ultimate Thunderbirds experience to the tabletop, Modiphius has partnered with Matt “Brains” Leacock, designer of the hit games Pandemic, Forbidden Desert, and Forbidden Island.

“I’ve had a great time immersing myself in the world of Thunderbirds, learning all about the Tracy family, Lady Penelope, and all their wonderful gear. This game will give players the chance to see how they would perform in the role of the Tracys. Will they be able to anticipate global disasters and complete impossible rescue missions? This game will test each player’s nerve, logistical sense, and mettle,” said Matt Leacock. “It’ll tell you if you could be a Tracy!”

Planned for release in Autumn / Fall 2015 and celebrating the 50th anniversary of the cult TV show, the game will feature the iconic Thunderbirds machines and a high octane world full of disasters for players to come to the rescue. The Thunderbirds co-operative game will have the usual high quality design and components that fans of games produced by Matt Leacock and Modiphius have come to expect.

“Thunderbirds has always been the geek dad brand of choice as people introduce models of Thunderbird 2 or the original TV show to their kids,” said Chris Birch, Publishing Director of Modiphius. “From collecting the models and avidly watching the shows as a kid, it has been a dream of mine to create an awesome game with Thunderbirds. With Matt Leacock on board, I know we’ll be able to create the ideal co-operative gaming experience for whole families to enjoy the Tracys’ world. F-A-B!”

Thunderbirds is a cult 1960s British science-fiction television series, created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. It was produced using a combination of marionette puppetry and scale-model special effects, which was dubbed “Supermarionation”. Two series, totaling thirty-two 50-minute episodes, were produced, along with a film using the same techniques.

Racing to the rescue from a secret island base beneath the luxurious home of the Tracy family somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean, International Rescue defies government spies and criminals who want the secrets of their incredible machines for their own. To combat this threat, Lady Penelope, the Thunderbirds’ aristocratic English secret agent, and her chauffeur Parker lead a network of agents to uncover those behind the disasters caused by deliberate sabotage.

A criminal mastermind known as “the Hood”, operating from a temple deep in the Malaysian jungle and in possession of strange powers, often engineers events to allow him to spy on the Thunderbird machines with the goal of selling their secrets to the highest bidder.

The iconic Thunderbirds are designed by the Tracy family’s close friend “Brains” and are assigned to each of the five Tracy brothers:

  • Thunderbird 1, piloted by Scott Tracy – a hypersonic rocket plane used for fast response and rescue-zone reconnaissance, and as a mobile control base.
  • Thunderbird 2, piloted by Virgil Tracy – a supersonic, VTOL carrier which transports their major rescue equipment in detachable pods. 
  • Thunderbird 3, piloted by Alan Tracy – a single-stage, vertically launched spacecraft
  • Thunderbird 4, piloted by Gordon Tracy – a utility submersible for underwater rescue, launched from Thunderbird 2 
  • Thunderbird 5, manned by John Tracy – a space station in geostationary orbit that monitors calls for help from across Earth.
Finally, Lady Penelope has the iconic FAB 1
  • FAB 1, driven by Parker – a pink, amphibious car

For more information on the forthcoming release, contact Modiphius Entertainment or sign up at www.modiphius.com/thunderbirds.html to be the first to hear of news of how you can join International Rescue!
