Markosia Spotlight On: Anabasis

PREVIEW

Each week we’ll be turning the spotlight on one of the many quality books from our extensive back catalogue.

This week it’s the turn of Anabasis.

In 401 B.C. Xenophon, disciple of Socrates, accepts a friend’s invitation to participate as an observer with a group of Greek mercenaries hired by a prince of Persia called Cyrus the Younger. He gathers a mighty army and launches a campaign against the Pisidians.

This sets in motion the vicious cycle of lies and bloodshed, which revolutionises the life of a young man, and affects the entire span of world history!

Cyrus has a secret plan to strike against his brother Artaxerxes, and seize the throne of Persia. Xenophon and twelve thousand cheated Greek mercenaries find themselves stuck in the middle of the world’s largest empire, betrayed, outnumbered and besieged.

The king gives them two options; surrender unconditionally and face a life of slavery or die.

They decide to take the third option and fight their way home!

Shadows Over Venice: Volume Two – OUT NOW!

From the peak of high Renaissance to the near end of the Venetian republic, one thing runs through the ages like a festering magical inflammation hidden in the shady corners of the society and sticks its fangs out only in times when it can do most damage. The hereditary curse of sleepwalking, spread throughout the city in the times of the Great Plague, seems to make people do things in their unconscious state that work for the cause of another will than their own. Can enough people see through the conspiracy behind this curse in time to act before all the magical seeds of corruption reach their fruition?

PREVIEW

Each week we’ll be turning the spotlight on one of the many quality books from our extensive back catalogue.

This week it’s the turn of The Age Of The Caveman.

We have built megalopolises, advanced technologies and even cyborgs but as ‘CAVEMAN’ shows us, with a sly grin, deep inside we’re still just a bunch of grunting beasts!

Some are hilarious. Some will make you wince. Some will make you laugh. And some will take some figuring out…

Traveller: Far Trader #3 – OUT NOW!

PREVIEW

Aramis Subsector on the Imperial Frontier. Aramanx was intended to be a luddite paradise, a pastoral world where the pressure and conflict of life in the Imperium could be forgotten. But things haven’t worked out that way. The balkanised world has become a war zone where its numerous nations are ratcheting up tension with one another. It is a powder keg waiting to blow. The crew of the Slowhand enter this volatile environment, hoping to repair their ship and make a few deals, but getting out unscathed could be trickier than they think.

Traveller is the role-playing game of the far future, first published in 1977, now brought to you by Mongoose Publishing. Traveller: Far Trader is a foray into Traveller’s celebrated Charted Space setting, where ordinary spacers take on extraordinary challenges.

This issue also includes bonus material for the game that describes the Helical mercenary unit with stats for one of their vehicles and key personalities from among their ranks.

Traveller: Riftbreaker #1 – OUT NOW!

PREVIEW

The spacelanes of the Imperium are made of star clusters and mains that guide the flow of interstellar traffic. The stars provide the path for Travellers to cross Charted Space. But there are vast expanses of starless space where only the boldest Travellers dare to go. The yawning void of the Great Rift is one such expanse. Adventurers Revo Sanderson and his brave crew are determined to do the unthinkable: Cross the Rift using their wits and a standard scout ship. It’s a crazy idea, but Travellers are made of sterner stuff than your average spacer.

Traveller is the role-playing game of the far future, first published in 1977, now brought to you by Mongoose Publishing. Traveller: Riftbreaker is a foray into Traveller’s celebrated Charted Space setting, where ordinary spacers take on extraordinary challenges.

This issue also includes bonus material for the game that describes just what “riftbreaking” is and how it’s done. Also included are stats and deck plans for the S-464077-F, the trusty old Type-S scout ship featured in the story.

Pumpernickel: The Complete Fairytale – OUT NOW!

There was once a little girl called Rebecca Turner…

Actually, there wasn’t because she’s really a changeling called Pumpernickel, swapped by the fairy folk as a baby.

But she’s prepared to fight to keep her human life, even if that means going to war with the whole of Faery.

By Luke Cooper, creator of Hollow Girl and AloneNotLonely, Pumpernickel is a modern fairytale about family being more than blood, no matter how much is spilled. This book collects the whole mini-series along with a bonus epilogue and pin-up.
