Swansong on IPR & settings for The Dragon vs The Gun [DvG]

Swansong is now available from IPR. Hooray! So if you're hankering for some tarot based RPG action you know where to go. Yeah, my website if you live in the UK...

It's been rewrite central at PoD towers. I've rewritten chunks of Piledrivers and Powerbombs after very helpful feedback from Yokiboy. I'm looking to have the PDF version out by April.

I've done the second rewrite of The Dragon vs The Gun. I still need to do all the examples and develop the settings. Got a few ideas for settings:

Hello everyone

I've been working on the Piledrivers and Powerbombs rewrite: Chokeslam of Darkness edition.

The game has grown considerably in length since it's humble 24hr beginnings. Looks like it'll be around 100 pages when finished. I should have the next draft finished by the end of this week. I'm still in need of a front cover though.

Work continues on Best Men, the supernatural Elizabethan setting for Swansong. I'm running a Tuesday night game using this setting, which is fun and informative. The PCs are 'Talented' individuals recruited as spies and agents of Sir Francis Walsingham. I'm working on an extensive timeline and rules tweaks for the first draft. I need to finish reading a bunch of books on the Tudors...

I picked up Swansong at the very last minute on Saturday. All I knew about it was that Joe had done it and it had a tarot mechanic, which was enough for me. I had a chat later with some people who had played a demo and they talked about the great Elizabethan background.

Flicking through the book yesterday I didn't notice much background material so I wondered if there was any chance of a pdf of whatever material there might be?
