Wassup gamer peeps, it’s time for the July update!!

Standard Colour Lowlife 2090 Hardcovers

Given the July 1 Lightning Source/DTRPG price hike on Premium Colour books, we decided to make Lowlife 2090 in Standard Colour as well, and they’re now available via DTRPG.

Note that whilst the Standard Colour books are substantially cheaper than Premium (USD 45 vs 75), they are less crisp, darker, and have less rich colour tones. Our profit margins are the same on both, the difference in price is all printing cost.  

And just a reminder that if you like what you see, or you’ve played some LL 2090 and enjoyed it – please consider leaving a star rating or short review! 

GASLIGHT TOOLKIT & CLASSES

HOLY SCHIZZLE Y’ALL – David Bareford of Bareford Press has gone and made a GASLIGHT DARK FANTASY game based on the LFG engine – and I must say it is EXCELLENT. When I read it I was like YES I CAN PLAY PENNY DREADFUL with this :DD

It’s actually in two PDFs.

The first is GASLIGHT CHARACTERS VOLUME 1: DTRPG LINK which introduces us to the Bludger, Detective, Libertine, Resurrectionist and Unlikely Hero classes. I don’t want to spoil anything but the themes are really strong, and the various abilities much broader than combat, which is as you would expect for a game of this style and setting.

From the Bludger’s “Bought Off” ability (turns a law enforcement officer corrupt), the Libertine’s “Sycophant” (essentially a free NPC hireling), and the Detective’s “Beggar’s Network” (allowing you to gain a clue or other useful info), there are just heaps of cool things to choose from as your character progresses.

I understand Volume 2 is in the works, with another five classes: Mesmerist, Metamorph, Occultist, Pugilist and Sin-Eater 😀

Part 2 is the 18 page GASLIGHT TOOLKIT: DTRPG LINK

The second volume is 18 pages with perfectly themed art. It includes suggestions and tweaks to integrate Artificers, Bards, Cultists, and Monks, as well as revising some Unique Features and Skills. The new Party Bonds table is pure gold. Light sources, weapons, and armour are covered, as well as a Defence rule to make up for a lack of armour in the setting. Finally there are “Flesh & Grit” alternative hit points (care of MissingAxis), and tips about a running a Gaslight setting, including social class and morality mechanics (with input from WikiSnapper) 🙂

If you’re interested in some dark fantasy gaslight GO GRAB THEM!!

MENDOZA CITY MAP FILE

The original high res Mendoza City Map image file is now available from DTRPG. The original image is 8.5 inches x 11 inches, but prints surprisingly well at larger sizes.  DTRPG LINK 

THIRD ADVENTURE STRETCH GOAL REWARD

Work has commenced on the Lowlife 2090 third Kickstarter Stretch Goal adventure reward, which should be available to Backers by the end of August.

MEGA CITY ONE ACTUAL PLAY 

A Lowlife 2090 session set in the Judge Dredd universe! A massive thank you to JD (of JD RPG Productions) for running this scenario, and to Hook, Coco, Connor and Brad (Goblin Scribe Gaming) for playing! I had an absolute blast as June the Influencer – even if she did lose an ear..  Luckily she can buy a new one 😉 

UNLUCKY ROLLS

The latest session of Trisky’s Necromunda based Lowlife 2090 game is now out! Alas there were some technical difficulties so only the last hour was captured – but it’s a great hour! Personally I think VIP should go to Spider the Dog on this one.
