Daring Tales of Adventure #05: Sky Pirates of the Caribbean
Deep in the Bermuda Triangle trouble awaits our heroes!
In recent months a large number of cargo planes and ships have gone
missing whilst traveling through the mysterious area now known as the
Bermuda Triangle.
Reports of these disappearances have been kept secret from the wider
populace in the hope of avoiding alarm. These missing planes and ships
are not caused by aliens or even freak weather. This is simply piracy!
Our heroes are thrust into the middle of this adventure when they are
persuaded to take a cargo run to Cuba. Once attacked by the Sky
Pirates they discover the real reason for the missing ships and planes!
The action takes out heroes from a cannibal infested island to a top
secret prison housing the world's most dangerous criminals, and then
onto Havana to meet a mysterious contact. They even get to meet Howard
Hughes, and try to avoid one of his more deadly creations! But who are
the pirates and what awaits the heroes above the clouds? All will be
revealed!
Sky Pirates of the Caribbean is a high octane pulp adventure that
takes your heroes on a wild ride in the clouds!

27th August 2008 - New Terrain Guide
Hills make great scenery pieces. As well as adding height to the
battlefield, they break up the tabletop and allow dastardly enemies to
advance unseen. Rather than just showing you how to make a common or
garden hill, Steve has opted for a themed hill.
Get ready to build, and then explore, the wonders of Easter Island!

This week we have a brand new Daring Tales adventure from Paul 'Wiggy' Wade-Williams.
An invitation to Washington to attend a lecture seems innocuous enough, but nothing
is ever straightforward when the heroes are around. When a mysterious motorbike rider
snatches a small wooden box from the hands of the noted historian, Professor Dickinson,
it starts the heroes on a deadly quest. But why do the Nazis also want the box?
Daring Tales #3 takes the characters on a whirlwind ride from the streets of Washington
to the baking sands of Egypt, onto a Crusader castle, and finally to a vast ice fortress
in the frozen north, and all in search of a treasure men have killed to acquire and killed
to protect—The Treasure of the Templars.
Available from our store now - get it here!

Perlious Places & Serious Situations is written by our top Savage Worlds
expert Paul 'Wiggy' Wade-Williams
This sourcebook contains ways to liven up your games by looking at different
locales and the varying dangers they present.
Inside you’ll find rules for expanded arctic and desert survival, the dangers of
collapsing tunnels and stampedes, fighting atop rooftops, crumbling cliffs, tall
columns, rope bridges, underwater, and on vertical surfaces, the hazards of stormy
nights and swamps, and expanded traps.
Perilous Places doesn’t contain definitive, “must-use” rules. Instead, it’s a toolbox,
giving GMs plentiful options to suit any style of game, and allowing them to use the
same backdrop at varying power levels.
Players be warned—combat just got a whole lot more perilous!

Announcing Necropolis 2350!
Coming this September - an all new updated version of the hugely popular Savage setting Necropolis!
All of us here at Triple Ace Games are extremely excited about this news and have been bursting to announce
this for sometime! Written by legendary Savage Worlds guru Paul "Wiggy" Wade-Williams of Triple Ace games,
this new version is for all those loyal fans who wanted a hardback copy of this popular setting.
Those fans can now rejoice as we are happy to let you know that it will be available in a fantastic
full color, 176 page hardback! Check our
Necropolis 2350
page for more details and for those who have not been exposed to the horrors of Necropolis here is the
official detail:
The year is 2350.
The place is Salus - more popularly called Necropolis - the only habitable world left to mankind.
Knights of the militant Sacri Ordines of the Third Reformation Church are locked in a bitter
crusade against the Rephaim ("the dead ones"), a race of evil beings who wield necromantic powers
and possess a fervent desire to exterminate all life. Lives are not the only thing at
stake - humanity's very existence hangs in the balance. If the Rephaim win, mankind's light
will forever disappear from the universe. Should humanity succeed in overcoming the tide of
darkness, it can begin to rebuild its former might, perhaps again reaching out into the void
to find new worlds on which to prosper and multiply.
Yet even when faced with extinction, mankind cannot work together. While the Rephaim batter at
humanity's door, the Church and Union of Corporations continue their cold-war struggle for
dominance over the lives of millions. All that stands between oblivion and salvation are courage
and faith. Welcome to Necropolis...
Necropolis 2350 is a dark futuristic setting for the award-winning Savage Worlds RPG.
