Survivor's Guide to the Czech Republic

[Tegyrius]

I know most of the audience here prefers to focus on v1.0/2.0/2.2, but I hope Kato will forgive the cross-post.

There's some background over in the 93GS forum. Long story short for y'all: since last winter, I've been working on Survivor's Guide to the Czech Republic, a setting sourcebook for Twilight: 2013. Keith has elected not to purchase the rights to it, so I'm releasing the manuscript for free to the fan community. You can download it from my personal Web site here (926k PDF):

Enjoy.

Thank you very much for all the work. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Thanks for the info. I will finish reading when I have time away from work.

(Yeah, I know, where ARE my priorities??!!!??)

It made for a very good read. I could see that you put a ton of time and work in to it. but with out understanding the background of t2013k i was confused at times.

Just finished my second read-through and I'm even more impressed. It's not only well researched but it is full of flavour and, more importantly, adventure ideas. That is a godsend to a busy GM and the guide is, in my opinion, well-written and full of potential.

Like Dog 6, I'm not familiar with the back story, but that's a very impressive piece of work - well done. And thanks for making it available to everyone.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. One comment here:

I tried very hard to build the book as a GM toolkit (though without making it useless or uninteresting for players). I'd planned to mention this in GM notes that never got written, but... each of the three focused setting chapters is designed to facilitate a different style of campaign. Prague is built for intrigue, espionage, skullduggery, and potentially region-changing political maneuvers. Occupied Moravia is a rough equivalent to the war-torn Eastern Europe of previous editions, with the opportunity for guerrilla warfare and running away from large numbers of angry Russians. Temelin... Temelin is the joker in the Czech deck. Depending on which way the GM wants to run it, it can be a slightly less-ruthless alternative to Moravia, an emerging micronation, or something else entirely.

Also, my "geographic whiteboard" may be of some use in conjunction with this work:

I am happy to see all this fine work will not languish while gathering dust in some secret warehouse.

So say we all, I'm sure.

Although I'm a v1.0 Timeliner myself, I really appreciate the work that you put into your Survivor's Guide to the Czech Republic. It's slick, thorough, and very well thought out. It's a shame 93 Games Studios didn't pick up the rights to it. Kudos, Tegyrius.

Well, yeah, I would've liked to have gotten paid for that chunk of work, but hey... you guys get a free sourcebook.

I too am basically a v1 timeliner, but appreciate hard work when I see it, and something that gives us all some alternative ideas. THANK YOU for sharing with us.

Same here. Very fine work, and Thank you!

[Tegyrius]

Gotta ask. Did anyone ever wind up using this as source material for a campaign? If so, I'd love to hear about it.
