I'm just here to give you a heads up on what the plans are for Postmortem Studios in this forthcoming 2009.
- Redesign: Expect this blog/site to get a facelift and redesign in the early part of this year, something a bit more slick and professional and I think I'll be retiring the old Postmortem Studios logo for something a bit more 'chic'.
- Cthentacle: This is my first priority this year, to get Cthentacle out of the door. I have, somewhat controversially, decided to go with the simplified, faster, Vs rules for this iteration of the game.
- All These Worlds: Mongoose's Traveller is going a storm and there's really no point me reinventing the wheel, so this is being revised for a second time and will become a series of expansions and materials for Traveller, most likely released - somewhat - via Mongoose's Flaming Cobra line.
- 100 Series: 100 Conspiracies and 100 Conspirators, 100 Supervillain Plots and 100 Supervillain Lairs will be the next few 100 Series books. I'm also cooking up a similar concept for players, something akin to the old Central Casting 'lifepath' books.
- Neverwhere: When I get time the third edition of this free RPG will be made available. This will also have more 'proper' rules for those who like such things.
- D&D4: I hope to be writing for Axe Initiative and I also hope to be releasing a complete adventure line, piecemeal, for D&D 4th Edition, a 'super campaign' that takes character from starting out to maximum level while also spinning out a complete game world. I also hope to begin work on my world-city setting.
- Gumshoe: Expect a Gumshoe version of @ctiv8 at some point during the year.
- Blood!: If there's time I hope to get Hell on Earth out of the door this year. That's the Renaissance/Enlightenment/Witch Burning era version of Blood!
- Fiction: I WILL complete a book of short-mid length stories this year and self publish, this is my promise to myself.
- Fanbooks: I hope to complete a Fallout fanbook for the Xpress system, again, depending on time.
- Getting Paid: Fingers crossed I get paid for work I've done over the last 2-3 years that I haven't yet been paid for :P
- Other: Agents of Swing (Xpress) and Unnamed Barbarian Fantasy Game (Xpress), The Pretentious Game.
- Someone with knowledge of d20 Modern, RuneQuest and my game, Blood!, willing to do some system conversions/creations for all three systems at about ten dollars a shot.
- A map-maker, preferably using the newer versions of campaign cartographer, willing to do play-mat style grid-work (nothing too fancy required) at about the same payment as above, per map.
- A map maker/illustrator willing to do larger, more freehand maps at about 25-100 per shot, depending on the size and intricacy required. CC maps also acceptable here.
- If anyone wants to release clipart through my established channel, they're welcome to, the profit split is about 50/50.
- I'm also willing to take on, produce and publish games that you'd like to and have no time to put out yourself at a similar profit split (after my costs are recouped.

Just a little reward to myself because I liked the game so much and thought it would make a good setting.

@ctiv8 is a modern-setting, very political, conspiracy game where the players ? usually ? take the part of conspirators. Activists who are part of a global covert network dedicated to interfering, to trying to make the world a better place, to safeguard peace and freedom for all according to the dictates of their own conscience in the face of the increasing irrelevance of government or democracy to a person?s personal beliefs.
The adventure ideas and stories contained within this booklet all come from real life and include the real story, the fictional story-behind-the-story, some adventure/encounter ideas and reference material to tell you more about the background of the piece as well as including a sample character for your @ctiv8 dossiers. We don?t necessarily need the world of fiction to inspire us or to show us the strangest and most wonderful sides of humanity. The news has it all.
With a little work these adventure seeds can be adapted to any other modern setting game or given an extra touch of strangeness to suit games that include magick and more outlandish conspiracies.

HE was a mutant with a gift for the guitar and an eye for the ladies...
SHE was a hotrod-racing bombshell on the lookout for love...
IT crawled from the wastes of Nashville crater, seeking human victims...
THEY were trapped in a world they never made!
'45 is a world where WWII was fought with atomic bombs on all sides
'45 is a world where the B-movies are real
'45 is a world where Rock N' Roll mutants do battle with giant ants
'45 is a Psychobilly Retropocalypse
All the cool cats dig '45 daddy-o, are you hip to the scene?
'45 is so cool, it's radioactive, man!
'45 is powered by Postmortem Studio's Xpress system and features customisations specially tailored for pulp/B-movie play.

"This game kicks ass. It's very different from most other games. The style is unique. It is it's own Genre of game. I can't think of anything else that's just like it. The setting is very inventive. It's a glorious amalgamation of 50's B-movies, Hammer style horror, and high adventure. I wonder what kind of drugs they were taking when they came up with this. And where can I get some? Also the art, which emphasises 50's style pin-up glamor is really good!"
"The author nails the B movie genre of the 1950's squarely in a fun evocative style. Freely mixing and matching icons, tropes and fads its rock and roll meets attack of the fifty foot woman, its James Dean with three arms blazing nickel plated .45's featuring in Plan 9 From Outer Space, its voluptuous cavewomen named Lalula riding Harley's being pursued by giant radioactive ants. Its a pulp game of over the top B movie madness combined with a Rockabilly flair where the atom bomb and science are king. The world encapsulates everything, Femme Fatals, crazy scientists, mysterious swamp creatures, vampires, gumshoe PI's and sinister Nazi mooks ('45 supposes everyone nuked each other so the war isn't exactly over). The rules are succinct and to the point and there are plenty of interesting character examples and plot hooks to get you started. Indeed the book is a perfect length giving you just what you need in a comprehensive well laid out format. Art is thematic and sexy and overall its a good looking book."
