Automata

A lot of RPG fans love Penny Arcade and I am no exception. Recently the first chapter of “Automata” has been completed. What I want to share with you today is a video created by Christoph Hermiteer that adds a soundtrack to the six-paged comic.

The world of “Automata” is also interesting from a roleplaying standpoint. In my opinion alternate history settings always make great settings for RPGs. Who knows, perhaps Automata could be effectively used in a one-shot adventure.

I've actually been working on a pdf of Automata for use with the Savage Worlds setting. Here's a preview of what I've been working on: http://dicemonkey.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/savage
I should finish it soon, then perhaps you can use it for your said one-shot!

    Cool! That's exactly what I was writing about! By the way, did the Penny Arcade guys post the background info on the setting somewhere on their website or did you just make it up yourself?
    I will definitively follow the development of your Automata pdf and give it a try when it's done. At least when I can convince my group that they want to play it. 😉

I just made up whatever they hadn't come up with themselves. I'll get the PDF to everyone as soon as it's done.
