We Were Here First! Written by ENNIE Award Winning author Diogo Noguirea.

A meteor containing precious minerals able to fuel reactors well beyond their capacity has crashed in a secluded valley scarred with wars of old. A race against time ensues as Salvagers, Corpos and other denizens of the wastes rush for this prized salvage. When they arrive they’ll find the creatures who call this meteor home do not want to let others claim it without a fight.

Rainmaker by ENNIE Award Winning author Luke Gearing

From the corpse of an atmospheric monitoring station, a trove of data revealing anomalous patterns breaking with local climatic conditions - a signature of the ancient art of Cloud seeding. For now, your discovery is secret. Across the broken land, clues to the source are scattered. If too much suspicion is raised, others will take up the hunt - water is life and water is wealth.

Compelled, the rain will fall. What will it find upon the earth?

False Flag written by Panayiotis Lines & Aled Lawlor of Leyline Press

Stefanus Industries is looking to secure another acquisition and you've been approached to do their dirty work. Dragged into a web of corporate espionage, dangerous bioweapons and morally questionable decisions; the real question you have to ask yourself is, 'will you be able to look at yourself in the mirror'.

Dice, patches, posters and more are also available to pre-order with all shipments planned on being fulfilled in December 2022.

This is a great breakdown! I'm playing in a campaign playtest at the mo and the salvage process is esp. fun

This had so much promise - Unfortunately the d20 PbtA adaptation just doesn't work in play it really needs the bell curve so we are toying with converting it over to a 2d6 range or using Xd20's like Blades in the Dark. The main reason is you take a LOT of stress or heat and you just cant take that much. Also the really fun Mechs are effectively locked out to you at creation. Moreover the way salvage works mean you _need_ to collect it so that means you need to have someone who is good at getting salvage and a Hauler type mech to store the salvage and a recon like mech quick and fast and able to find stuff you want to exploit and you also need to have a fighter mech so essentially one player gets to have fun and everyone else needs to be sort of support ... plus you need a mechanic to do repairs and upgrades ... and then you want to build up the base .... This would really benefit from troop play where your playing a whole bunch of "PCs" that you play in different circumstances or even playing a game of Merc's who protect the other salvage team or something.
