East Africa Sourcebook now available - officially approved by FFE

[Silent Hunter UK]

Didn't know this was coming!

Well done, Mr. Adams!

[Jason Weiser]

Well, done Olefin! Posted the news on FB and "500 Miles.."

[lordroel]

Nicely done Olefin, hoop we see more of you work in the future.

[Olefin]

Thank you very much guys - was about to put it up myself but Marc sent the email out first - and yes I will be working on more material - and I was definitely honored when Marc said it would now be part of the Twilight 2000 canon

[Olefin]

Here is the announcement

NEW For Twilight: 2000.

The East Africa Sourcebook. On DriveThruRPG.

From the deserts of Somalia to the Serengeti of northern Tanzania, the waters of the Indian Ocean to the jungles of the Congo, the East African/Kenya Sourcebook, the first new canon work for Twilight 2000 since 1995, shines a light on an area hinted at in previous works but never before detailed, where what is left of civilization in Africa struggles against the Somali Islamists, the PARA, the LRA and desperate pirates whose only mission is to take what they can from what still stands.

The Sourcebook contains a detailed order of battle for the American, French and Rwandan forces in the area as well as for their foes. A timeline is provided that shows how WWIII came to Africa, including the nuclear strikes that devastated much of the refinery production in Africa, leaving the refinery in Mombasa as the only hope for the Americans to provide the fuel that keeps CENTCOM supplied in their continuing fight with the Soviets in Iran. The continuing struggle of the French to build a new Empire from the ruins of Africa come alive in the Sourcebook, detailing their triumphs and missteps, including how they assisted the LRA to power in Uganda.

For those looking for new challenges and new adventures, the East African/Kenya Sourcebook provides them in spades offering everything from fighting a military campaign against the PARA and the Somalis, to convoy escort duty against pirates, to deep patrols trying to destroy terrorist bases or to find useable aircraft and supplies to keep AFRICOM going now that no more will be forthcoming from the United States. For those who wish to be mercenaries, either in the employ of others or building their own “kingdoms” in the ruins of Africa, there are opportunities a plenty.

FYI - the canon sourcebook has been heavily edited and revised from what was released here - added a bunch of information on the French, added the Rwandan forces, new maps, changes to the timeline,new pictures (mainly because of copyright concerns) and added details on the nuclear attacks and the convoy that brought troops to CENTCOM

So for those considering buying it, the final version is very different indeed from what was posted here several years ago

hope all of you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it

thank you very much - want to thank this board and all its members for helping to keep Twilight 2000 very much alive

and for allowing me to post here over the last several years - without this board and the encouragement of its members I would have never even started the project, let alone taken it to where it is now official canon for Twilight 2000

And for those considering doing your own projects - I know Marc is looking for more material to add to the canon

Glad to assist. Congrats on your accomplishment.

[Olefin]

Want to give credit to Raellus, Matt, Shrike6 and Paul as well along with Simonmark6, Tombot, Rainbow Six, raketenjagdpanzer and kato13 as well for all their inputs over the years to the original fan canon version and for their ideas that they posted here on various threads that assisted in the creation of the sourcebook as well.

Just checked Marc's site and its sold 55 copies in one day - goes to show how much interest there still is in the game

[raketenjagdpanzer]

Congratulations, man. I know how good it feels to get your name out there on an RPG product, especially one you put so much blood sweat & tears into. It's also great to see T2k still getting new products out there: new real, for-sale products. Also also this will spur me to get to work on my own little corner of the world, the oft-delayed fully-detailed cantonment/settlement I was working on, plus unrelated to this board a long-put-off AD&D project...

Again, well done. Will it be available as print-on-demand at some point?

Its for sale at http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/...liate_rem=4209

and pretty affordable too - $2.99

and thank you very much for the congratulations - much appreciated! And I am very honored that the Sourcebook is the first new Twilight 2000 canon material since 1995 (I see the 2013 material as a different timeline) - joining people like Frank and Loren as a canon writer for the game is something I never dreamed would happen when I played the game when I was in college. And Marc is looking for more material - already told me he is looking forward to seeing more from me.

Have bought it, having some questions i hope your sourcebook can answer me.

[Olefin]

Again want to thank of all you who have bought a copy and hope you are enjoying it - and love to hear if any of you have worked it into campaigns yet and if so how it went

Also - is anyone interested in a print to order book version of it - have wanted to see if anyone would want it as more than a pdf - want to see if there is interest before I go thru the process

[Raellus]

Congrats, Olefin. That's very cool news. You already have a thread devoted to the EAS. Would you mind if I merged the two?

[Louied]

Olefin

[kalos72]

I had mine printed via Lulu and it looks really good, I'll post a picture of it when I'm back home.

[cawest]

i have been thinking about printing and binding mine also. looking forward to adding to my collection.

I bought that as soon as I found out about it -- I got an email. I put on my tablet so I can read it when I take my mother to her doctor's appointments.

You can do that with any T2K sourcebook in PDF of course; I do it all the time myself.
