Ah how many of us have dreamed of this day? Privateer Press have announced that, in conjunction with book publishers Pyr, they will soon be launching a series of tie-in novels describing adventures set in the Iron Kingdoms!
Here's what Privateer Press have released about the first two books which will be released next year:
"The first—IN THUNDER FORGED: THE IRON KINGDOMS CHRONICLES (The Fall of Llael Book One)—will be published in June 2013 in paperback and ebook editions. Author Ari Marmell has authored RPG materials for games such as Dungeons & Dragons® and the World of Darkness® line. He is also the author of the novel The Goblin Corps, as well as Thief’s Covenant and False Covenant in the Widdershins Adventures series for Young Adult readers.
In July 2013, BIG IRON: THE IRON KINGDOMS CHRONICLES (The Fall of Llael Book Two) will follow. Author C. A. Suleiman has contributed scores of books to the hobby games industry’s top properties, including Dungeons & Dragons and the World of Darkness. He is the developer for White Wolf’s Mummy line, the creator of the Hamunaptra setting, and the coauthor of Vampire: The Requiem®."
Promising authors given reign over the rich backgrounds of Warmachine, Hordes and the Iron Kingdoms RPG? Hmm, I am intrigued and very hopeful. Needless to say if I can get my hands on one of these I'll be sure to write up a review.
Are any of you Warmachine and Hordes fans excited by this news?
I can’t tell you how much I’m looking forward to these – the Invasion of Llael and other fluff from Mk1 of the wargames haven’t really been covered much in the Mk2 books. Even the RPG’s core book only talked about the war in generalities (apart from when Khador burnt Riversmet to the ground and unleashed hordes of Doom Reavers to indiscriminately kill anyone still alive in the city – that was news to me). Hope they continue these books to cover the Caspia-Sul War as well, that’s another recent event in the setting’s history I don’t know as much… Read more »
The lack of (or rather the difficulty of finding what there is) background is the only thing that stops me getting much deeper into warmahoards or starting the IKRPG. Books fix that nicely.
I am so looking forward to these.
Here’s the deal,
I freaking love this game and have collected all the books just to read the fluff. Which is top shelf and very entertaining I might add…
This has put me in the best mood ever after a crappy day at work this is the ticket to kick all of that to the curb 🙂
Can’t Wait
