Eric Flint's 1632 Resource Guide and Role Playing Game (Flaws and All edition)
 |
In anticipation for the 2008 release of the new edition of the 1632 RPG we present our "Flaws and All" edition of 1632. This book contains no corrections¸ eratta or additional materials. All of the above will be presented in a new package sometime this year.
In the year 1632 things couldn't get much worse in northern Germany. There was no food. Disease was rampant. For over a decade religious war had ravaged the land and the people. Catholic and Protestant armies marched and countermarched across the northern plains¸ laying waste the cities and slaughtering everywhere. In the year 2000 things are going OK in Grantville¸ West Virginia. Everybody is attending the wedding of Mike Stearn's sister (including the entire membership of the local chapter of the United Mine Workers of America¸ which Mike leads) and is having a good time. Then¸ everything changed … When the dust settles; a small group of armed miners go out to find out what's going on. Out past the edge of town Grantville's asphalt road is cut¸ as with a sword. On the other side¸ a scene out of Hell; a man nailed to a farmhouse door¸ his wife and daughter lying screaming in muck at the center of a ring of attentive men in steel vests. Faced with this¸ the people from Grantville don't have to ask who to shoot. At that moment Freedom and Justice¸ American style¸ are introduced to the middle of The Thirty Years War.
