GEAR KRIEG:
The Roleplaying Game

Colonel Kaufman looked down at the prone form of Jack Memphis and laughed, his gaunt visage appearing more skull-like than ever. "You can do nothing to stop us. Soon, Herr Doktor Hempell's research will be complete and we will have yet another weapon in our arsenal. When will you Amerikaners learn that no one can stand before the might of the Third Reich?"

But Jack knew better. If he could just reach the blade hidden in his belt, he could free himself and put an end to Kaufman's diabolical scheme -- and if he was very lucky, he might just teach that gloating Nazi a thing or two about old-fashioned Yankee know-how...

Imagine a world where war walkers and supertanks contend on the battlefield, rocket fighters duel high in the air, adventurers and super-spies battle the Nazis and superscience changes the face of the world on a daily basis. This is the world of Gear Krieg, a roleplaying game of two-fisted pulp action from the creators of Heavy Gear, the Jovian Chronicles and Tribe 8! This book features:

The simple and elegant Silhouette rule system, a highly acclaimed game engine that uses the classic six-sided dice;

Complete roleplaying rules, a detailed world background and a rich setting for daring adventures;

Extensive guidelines and tips for adventuring in the Modern Age;

A story generator to help jump-start the game sessions in the proper style;

Reality Distortion Levels that allow you to play the exact style of campaigns you want -- gritty WWII action or high-action Saturday morning serial;

A rule interface to merge roleplaying with the tactical wargame (not included).

Whether it'd be intrigues under the burning sun of North Africa, the duels of a daring rocket fighter squadron or the exploits of a group of dastardly misfit Marines in the jungle hell of the Pacific, adventure is sure to be found everywhere you look!
