22nd December 2009 - Christmas Presents!!!
This will be the last update from TAG this year and what an update we have!
Free Christmas Adventure
We have a full Daring Tales of Adventure written originally as an Ace Tale for our competition a few months back.
We liked the theme so much that we decided to ask the author Notty Stone to develop the adventure to a full sized pulp action module!
Here is the result!
Daring Tales of Adventure: Rocket Nazis on the Orient Express
Nazi Rocketeers and the Orient Express? Looks like one hell of a party!
Von Stosser is the commander of the elite troop of Nazi Rocketeers, and he has spent the last few months gathering scientists
from around the world, to work on a variety of mind-boggling projects.
Progress has been swift and he is ready for his first strike.
Von Stosser’s current plan is comparatively simple; he has prepared a double of France’s famous Orient Express train,
and has fitted it out with rockets more powerful and deadly than any known. The target of the attack is the centre of Paris,
with the intention of decapitating the entire French government in one swift strike.
Triple Ace Games invite you to a seasonal Daring Tales of Adventure in which you need to foil the nazi rocketteers in
Rocket Nazis on the Orient Express.

DTotSP #01: Family Affair & Extraction 101
Put on those shades, run a self-diagnostic on your implanted chrome and prepare to hit the mean streets with this,
the first issue of Daring Tales of the Sprawl!
Triple Ace Games’ new line of cyberpunk, two-fisted tales takes the characters into the sprawl,
where extracting corporate employees from under their employers noses, exchanging fire with the scum who inhabit
the deregulated zones, whilst trying to stay alive long enough to collect your pay is the order of the day.
This inaugural issue contains two short adventures.
Family Affair: A new patron contacts the heroes and pays them a retainer to perform a few odd jobs on a tight schedule:
Tampering with food deliveries, "rescuing" a middle-aged couple from an ambulance, keeping them safe and delivering them to
the airport are hardly standard missions, but the patron is paying well.
Extraction 101: An almost textbook corporate extraction is required. What could possibly go wrong? Quite a lot actually,
and the heroes are going to be busy trying to ensure it doesn’t. Their mission takes them from the sterile corridors of a
corporate tower, to a crosstown race against time, and finally to the ruins of the deregulated zone.

You asked for more of the Daring Tales of the Space Lanes - and so Wiggy has come up with this cool new
adventure called Robot Rumble.
Daring Tales of the Space Lanes #03: Robot Rumble
LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!
When your trip to Lux III hits "difficulties" your patron suggests a way you can repay him and avoid his lawyers.
It's a simple enough task, on the surface; all you have to do is infiltrate a criminal gang, discover who their
boss is, and put him out of business. But there's a drawback, and it's a big one. The gang operates in Tin Town,
a robots-only slum, and fleshies just aren't welcome there. But fear not, for your patron has a solution;
you're going to enter Tin Town disguised as robots!
Have the heroes got what it takes to be a robot and avoid detection? Can they infiltrate the gang and work their way
to see Mr. Big? Or is it all going to end in one huge rumble?

Paraxus. The heroes have to protect Emeric, a religious seeker of knowledge who takes our adventurers on an fascinating
quest to find the buried treasures of Paraxus.

campaign called Songs of Remorse. Check out Mindthief today!
Sundered Skies: Mindthief
A Little Knowledge Can Be A Dangerous Thing!
What starts off as a routine courier job delivering a message to a hermit in the Shattered City turns into a desperate
race against a powerful member of the Bright Cabal with the ability to tear memories from its victim’s minds.
It has taken the answer to a decades—old mystery. These stolen memories must be taken back from the Bright cabal lest
they use them to repeat the mistakes of the past—a mistake which caused the death of thousands.
This adventure takes the heroes from the monster haunted ruins of the Shattered City to a temple hidden below the teeming
streets of Gateway and a desperate chase across a haunted, forgotten island, where alliances must be forged with the
most untrustworthy of allies to survive a terrible threat.
Mindthief may be played as a standalone scenario, or as the first installment of the Songs of Remorse Plot Point Campaign.

family to glory desires proves to be an indomitable and relentless foe.

Watchgap Fort!
This adventure simulates a mass battle on the tabletop. Spread over several days, each scene is the equivalent of a
Mass Battle combat round, giving the heroes first hand of experience of the battlefield.
Victory will be determined not by spoils or bodycounts, but by survival. Those who stand and fight this dark day will
have their reputations assured, but should the heroes fall the gateway is open to the rest of Heligioland, and
perhaps even the Hearthlands.
Will you answer the call to arms, or will your courage fail you when it is most needed?
This adventure can be played as a continuation of Shadow of Darkness or as a standalone adventure.

Ace Tales and I can say that all the judges enjoyed reading them.
The judging was done independently by Robin Elliott, Paul 'Wiggy' Wade-Williams, Kevin Anderson and Dave Blewer.
Each of the tales was scored and the results brought together. I can say it was a tough competition to win because
of the quality of the top scoring submissions but in the end the entries did fall into 3 distinct categories:
A - The Winning Entry (there can be only one)
B - Runners Up to be published
C - Sorry Didn’t make the grade
Without further delay we are very pleased to announce the winning entry as A church Fallen by Doug Kilmer and
Brett Smith! The prize worth over $350 will be on its way to them!
Here is the final published version for all of you to read:
Ace Tale #02: A Church Fallen
So to the runners up who each receive $30 worth of vouchers to spend at the TAG store. All of these entries will be
published by TAG over the following weeks - in alphabetical order:
Dave Olson - The Dangers of Iphus IV
Jason Irrgang - The Best Things
Luis Enrique Torres - A Stitch in Time, Everybody comes to Trix, Horror in the Ice, The Dark Slide of the Moon, The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of
Marcus Bone - Ghostly Echoes, Just a Little Maw, Mirror, Rirrom, The Stowaway
Nick Riggs - Under Pressure
Notty Stone - Rocket Nazis on the Orient Express
Peter Lustig - Prison Base Moon 52
Robert Bickmeier - Angel Down
Robert Rosenthal - Deathstination
Rustin Holmes - The Voice Stone
I think Luis Enrique Torres and Marcus Bone both deserve a special mention because they did produce some brilliant
tales and all of their entries had a consistently high quality in their writing. Also Notty Stone should get a
mention for a great pulp tale with the best title!
We will be contacting all of the runners up to congratulate them over the next few days. All of you who were not
listed above I'm afraid fell into the category C however we hope you enjoyed writing for the competition - better

Daring Tales of Adventure #14:
The Sword of Avalon
It’s time for high tea and hijinks as the heroes visit England!
When Jimmy wins a competition to work on an archaeological dig in a Crusader castle in the Holy Land it seems like an
ideal time for a vacation, but nothing ever runs smoothly when the heroes are involved! The discovery of a secret
chamber embarks them on a quest to locate the fabled sword of King Arthur—Excalibur!
Whoever wields Excalibur, so the legends say, will be the rightful King of England. But what if it falls into the
wrong hands!
Our heroes’ quest takes them first from trapped Crusader ruins to see their old friend Stavros in Istanbul.
From there they have chance to walk beneath the academic spires of Oxford University, peruse the wondrous galleries
of the British Museum, and even take part in fox hunting through the English countryside. Finally, the heroes must
explore four (real world) sites connected to the legend of King Arthur.
The heroes are on a desperate quest to retrieve the relic before Nazis, but are they the only villains
seeking the Sword of Kings?

8th July 2009 - Pirates of the Crystalflow
This week we have a brand new Hellfrost adventure in which the heroes have to investigate the murderous activities of
some dangerous pirates active on the Crystalflow River! Written by Wiggy, this adventure includes many maps and a
great set of figure flats from Jordan Peacock! Make sure you check it out today!
Pirates, Plunder & Adventure in the Icy Waters of the Crystalflow!
The Crystalflow River is the lifeblood of the Crystalflow Confederacy. Every day hundreds of ships and barges sail
its turbulent waters, buying and selling cargoes along its length. But trade is slowing and the sailors are scared.
Several ships have been found devoid of crew and stripped bare of their valuable cargoes. Rumors are rife, but almost
everyone points to pirates as the cause of the troubles.
The heroes are hired by a local merchant to investigate the situation. Their port of call is Bridgwater, a bustling
merchant town at the northern end of the trade route. Only by careful investigation and strength of arms can the
heroes hope to put an end to the pirates of the Crystalflow!
Pirates of the Crystalflow is the fourth adventure in the series of great exploits for the Hellfrost setting
especially designed for the award winning Savage Worlds ruleset.
Available from our store here:Pirates of the Crystalflow
24th June 2009 - The Devil's Chalice
New pulp adventure! This weeks release is The Devil's Chalice for the popular Daring Tales of Adventure series
and this time our heroes are in vampire country! Written by Paul 'Wiggy' Wade-Williams, this tale takes place
in the darkest reaches of eastern Europe amongst the wild Carpathian Mountains! Make sure you check out number
thirteen in our two-fisted pulp line!
Blood is the life!
A ship crashing into Boston Harbor and a botched attempt by the Nazis to kidnap a Romanian scholar embroil
the heroes in a sinister plot which could have serious repercussions for the whole world!
Hitler has dispatched his minions to hunt down an ancient relic—the chalice Dracula used to become an immortal vampire!
From the relative safety of Boston to the wild Carpathian Mountains, the heroes must track down and retrieve the legendary
object before the Nazis can deliver it to Berlin.
Nazi agents who will stop at nothing to appease their master, fiendish traps set centuries ago to protect secrets,
ancient clues, and nightmarish creatures from mythology all stand before the heroes and victory. The stakes are high
as the hunt begins for The Devil’s Chalice.
Get The Devil's Chalice here.
17th June 2009 - Hellfrost: Players Guide & Shadow of Darkness
This week at Triple Ace Games, we have a bumper update for you!
First up we have the eagerly awaited Hellfrost: Players Guide ebook. Start adventuring in a winter world!
Hellfrost: Players Guide
An endless winter is coming...
500 years ago: From the frozen far north, beyond the civilized lands with their rolling hills and forests,
arose a mighty army of frost giants, ice devils, Hellfrost dragons, and fearsome orcs, servants all of the ice
god Thrym. So began the terrible Blizzard War and the downfall of the mighty empires of man.
Today: The races of the southern lands may have won the war, but they suffer its legacy still.
For five centuries the winters have grown steadily longer and colder. Huge swathes of the land of
Rassilon are permanently covered in ice and snow, and even the temperate lands are not spared the misery
of failed harvests, deadly winters, and the dreaded Hellfrost wind.
But winter is not the only danger. A mere 30 years ago, magic, once the civilized races’ most potent weapon,
suddenly began to fail. The Siphoning, an effect of unknown origin, has made magic an unpredictable ally.
Welcome to the world of Rasilon, welcome to Hellfrost!
Get the Hellfrost Players Guide direct from TAG
here.
Hellfrost Adventure #03: Shadow of Darkness
We continue our Hellfrost theme this week with a brand new adventure! It is also part one of a new four part
mini campaign called Saga of the Frost Giants. This adventure can be played as a standalone game or part of
the mini campaign so you don't have to wait for the other three to begin playing.
Something Stirs In The Icebarrier Mountains
Joining a caravan as guards is a way to earn good money and see the world, though it is not without its risks.
Having signed up as guards, the heroes are about to take part in a journey from the relative safety of the lands
around Hellfrost Keep, home of the Hearth Knights, to the distant Saxa steads nestled in the forlorn Icebarrier
Mountains.
Together the characters and the small band of heavily-armed frost dwarves travelling with the caravan must weather
goblin attacks, for the fell creatures have stirred early this year and seem keen to make their presence felt.
It becomes clear the goblins are not acting alone. Something more powerful is behind their attacks, something
with grander plans than a few raids.
Shadow of Darkness can be played as a standalone adventure or as part one of a four-part mini-campaign arc
and includes maps and a set of Figure Flats by Jordan Peacock!

This week we present a new pack of Necropolis 2350 adventures fresh from that fevered brain in a jar -
Wiggy! Tales from the Frontline #02 contains three fantastic new missions for Necropolis 2350. From a runaway train
of doom to a frozen Ice Station hiding a frightening horror, there is plenty here to keep your Necropolis 2350 games fresh!
Tales from the Frontline #02
War is brutal and bloody, but someone has to fight for mankind's survival.
That someone is you! Grab your sword, strap on your armor, and get ready to head out into the darkness.
Inside this adventure pack you’ll find:
* Last Train to Doomsday: A runaway train packed with dangerous explosives an under the control of an
unknown number of heretics is heading toward a heavily populated city. The Knights' first problem is how to
board a moving train. Once onboard, things go from bad to worse as they discover heretics are the least of
their worries.
* The Strange Case of Mrs. Betts: What begins as a routine investigation into the suspicious behavior of
a sweet old lady, who just happens to be a close friend of the Pope, leads the Knights into the murky world of
prostitution and organ legging right in their own backyard.
* Ice Station Zulu: When an Asgard geological station deep inside the Arctic Circle broadcasts an open
frequency distress signa, the Knights are sent to provide medical assistance (and recover any useful technical
information) before the Corporation can send a relief team. But the emergency was not caused by any earthly force,
and the creature still haunts the frozen corridors.

Back by popular demand is our pulp sci-fi adventure series, Daring Tales of the Space Lanes.
In this great new product you have one complete adventure called Bad Debts and also a second chapter
devoted to a brand new rules supplement on creating pulp planets!
Daring Tales of the Space Lanes #02: Bad Debts
Politics and revenge are a dangerous mix!
Life in the spacelanes is hard, and spacers have to go where the money is. In this case, that means
tracking down the kidnapped daughter of a senior member of the powerful Galactic Trade Assembly.
From the explosive energy crystal world of Kerexi IV to the gas processing spacestation known as Dante
and onward to a secret starship controlled by a powerful criminal fraternity, the heroes are plagued by
vicious bounty hunters led by the ruthless and cunning Pandit Morg, an alien psion armed with a very deadly weapon!
While avoiding the hunters is hard enough, the stakes are raised when it becomes clear who the kidnappers work
for-the much-feared Shandarma Brotherhood. Say, didn't someone steal one of their ships? Maybe you'll get lucky
and they've forgotten you, or maybe revenge is high on the Brotherhood's agenda.
Daring Tales of the Space Lanes #2 also contains a system for creating your own space pulp planets!
Available now from our store.
The Realm of Rassilon
You asked for it and we felt it would help fill the gap while the next 2 books are being printed.

From the Veermark in the East to The Battlelands in the West, this detailed map shows all of the major l
ocations in Rassilon. This is the only information we will be making available ahead of the Gazatteer
as we don't want to spoil the release of the book. We hope it gives enough information for those GM's
who need a little extra help.

29th April 2009 - Trouble in Russia!
This week we return to our epic Daring Tales of Adventure series with the Legacy of Tunguska. Written by Paul 'wiggy' Wade-Williams
this cool adventure takes the intrepid heroes to the cold wastes of Russia!
Legacy of Tunguska
ITS GETTING HOT IN SIBERIA!
Chasing mobsters over a frozen Alaskan lake might be fun, but when an airplane suddenly drops from the sky and the heroes are attacked
by Nazi rocket troops you know it's not a normal day! And when a Russian priest staggers into their lives with a tale of a holy relic
from Tunguska being sought by the Nazis, it's definitely a day to remember!
Following the clues, our intrepid heroes visit the vast expanse of Mother Russia. Here they must unravel the location of the sacred
Stone of Tunguska while avoiding ruthless NKVD agents, the trigger happy Soviet airforce, and the evil machination of a Nazi weird
scientist with a love of cryogenics. The former exile city of Irkutsk and the frozen wastes of Siberia form the backdrop for the frantic chase.
Can the adventurers uncover the Legacy of Tunguska? Find out in this two-fisted tale of action and adventure!

The Dark Seed
The balance of nature is tipping!
Animal life was not always dominant in Rassilon. Eons ago, before the balance of nature was established,
sentient plants were the superior life form. Among their number was a particularly vile species which sought
the extermination of all animal life. Although long thought extinct, one of their seed pods has lain dormant,
silently waiting for the right time to awaken and release its deadly contents. That time has finally come.
An elf druid, infected by the seed pod, plans to issue in a new era—a world of plant domination.
To defeat him the heroes must first stand against his insidious creations, creatures part-animal and part-plant,
and whose touch is deadly. But the heroes are not alone in their quest, for the fey have sensed the danger the
druid presents to the natural order.
Can the heroes avoid becoming mutated plant beings long enough to track the druid to his lair?
Are they strong enough to stand against the druid’s corrupting power or will they end up with more than green fingers?
The Dark Seed is the second tale for Triple Ace Games’ Hellfrost setting.
Available now from our store!

in Rassilon. Written by wiggy it is designed for Novice characters and features maps and figure flats!
Hellfrost Adventure 01: Lair of the Vermin Lord
The specter of famine stalks the northern Hearthlands.
With the snow already falling, the key to thwarting disaster is the village of Dunross, for here are
stored the winter supplies of many surrounding villages. Fresh faced and eager, the heroes are hired
by a local merchant to collect sacks of flour from Dunross and deliver them to a bakery. But things
are never that simple.
What begins as a routine journey quickly embroils the adventures in a deadly plot to inflict starvation
and untold misery on the citizens of the northern Heartlands. Through the power of an unholy magical relic
a dark swarm has been unleashed on Rassilion, a swarm which leaves only death and disease in its wake.
Can the heroes survive the terrible host about to cross their path? If they do, have they the courage and
skill to end the reign of terror of a sinister, inhuman foe? All will be revealed!
Lair of the Vermin Lord is the first adventure for Triple Ace Games’ Hellfrost setting.

DTotSL #01: Waylaid on Wayland & Gunboat Diplomacy
Strap in and prepare for lift off, with the first issue of Daring Tales of the Space Lanes!
Triple Ace Games’ new line of high-octane, two-fisted tales takes the heroes into space, where fighting evil crimelords,
dodging bounty hunters, and evading asteroids while blasting at enemy fighters is all part of a day’s work.
In this free supplement we give you everything you need to explore the
Daring Tales of the Space Lanes! Get Waylaid on Wayland & Gunboat Diplomacy to gain full access to the sci-fi action.
This inaugural issue contains two short adventures and a special rules appendix.
Waylaid on Wayland: When a senior political figure offered the heroes a tidy sum to deliver a small package it seemed like easy money,
but that was before people started trying to kill them. What begins as a simple cargo run quickly has the heroes involved in a running
battle over who gets to control a powerful political organization on the industrial world of Wayland. Trash incinerators, acid rain,
high speed chases through chimney stacks, and a showdown where the scenery is just as dangerous as the opposition await!
Gunboat Diplomacy: Sure, helping a guy being blasted at by an armored goon was the right thing to do, but it’s embroiled the characters
in the start of a potentially nasty situation. When an entire space navy is trying to kill you, you know it’s not a good day to take
to the stars! Space Dangers: A special appendix detailing numerous space hazards you can throw into your own space tales.
From asteroids to gravity wells to wormholes, that cargo run just got a whole lot more dangerous.

11th February 2009 - The Broken Seal
From the pen (or keyboard!) of Paul 'Wiggy' Wade-Williams we present
the latest adventure for Necropolis 2350. A dark tale in which the
fate of humanity rests in the hands of a small band of Knights. So
step up soldier! Prepare to do battle with pure evil in The Broken
Seal.
Necropolis 2350: The Broken Seal
Dark times call for dark measures!
When the Preceptor Master summons you to his office in the middle of
the night and swears you to secrecy before giving the mission
briefing, you know this isn't going to be a routine operation.
A secret order of monks, long forgotten by the leaders of the Third
Reformation Church, keeps eternal watch over a powerful force, a
creature of absolute evil. After centuries of dormancy the evil has
awakened, for a prophesized time has finally come.
The fate of humanity rests in the hands of a small band of
Knights—your characters! To save Salus, the Knights must not only act
against Mother Church, but must also ally themselves to the very evil
they seek to destroy.
Win or lose, the Knights will forever be touched by darkness.
Advice note: The adventure has an adult theme. Discretion is advised
for younger players.

Daring Tales of Chivalry #03: The Danbury Curse
In an ancient land lie dark secrets!
Our heroic retinue has arrived in the marshy land of East Anglia. It seems to be gripped by a permanent winter that has
made the local marsh people turn to the pagan gods hoping they can return the true order of the seasons.
All is not what it seems as our heroes discover an oasis of good weather keeping the Danbury lands in permanent summer.
They soon discover an ancient devilish pact with an ancient folk called the Fae has secured this false summer.
Can they uncover the truth of the Fae and more importantly break the curse?

Crazed Savages & Terrifying Dinosaurs... Welcome to the Island of Terror!

tribesmen, ferocious beasts from a bygone age, deadly traps, and vile
Nazis plague our heroes every step of the way.
Can the heroes discover what happened to the lost expedition? Will
they end up as dinner for the local inhabitants? Are they capable of
decoding ancient hieroglyphs in order to avoid a terrible fate? Can
they thwart the Nazis' dastardly plan?
