Shakna: Assault on the Hive
"Outsiders might have thought it strange that a being of Shakna's nature might grow tired, sleep, or even require sustenance. But he (or she, or it — such concepts were irrelevant to a Shanask) was tired — aching with weariness to the depths of his very soul. "The journey had been long and difficult. Moving an entire world was an undertaking which strained the resources even of Shakna's kind. Still, Shakna and the other Shanask who now inhabited the Sorce-moon knew that they had no choice. Terrible events were unfolding, and it was their task — no, their duty — to stop them. Shakna watched as glowing blue lines of Sorce energy burned brightly, then faded, revealing the battered proto-planet below. Soon, the inhabitants would be arriving and there was much to discuss..."

The Big Book of Bots
Attention, Bot Users! Your Friend, The Computer, would like to assure you that your MANDATORY ENJOYMENT of your bot buddy will NOT be affected by the following list of bot behaviours that are KNOWN ISSUES!! Do not be alarmed if your bot:
- Thinks it’s a Troubleshooter (like one of the BotShooter bots described in this book)
- Does not appear in the exhaustive Botstiary list of bots (maybe it’s a super-fun experimental prototype)
- Falls apart, overheats, explodes or has peripherals you can’t identify (it was probably built using the Bot Creation rules)
- Attempts to perform unnecessary surgery on you (wrong memory card installed)
- Attempts to scrub you (wrong memory card installed again)
- Attempts to attach a printer to you (really, check the memory card in the bot or see the memory card rules in this book!)
- Appears to ignore the Five Laws of Robotics (Revised) (it was just following another programming directive)
- Walks into walls (probably just another programming directive)
- Thinks everything is out to get it (probably just another programming directive)
- Crashes whenever anyone says the word ‘Traitor’ (that’s a directive conflict bug, it’ll be fixed in the next batch. See this book for more details)
- Spouts secret society propaganda or attempts to assassinate you, your superiors and The Computer (please report for termination for owning a treacherous bot)
- Is More Fun In Your PARANOIA games than ever before (buy this book!)

GURPS Banestorm: Abydos
Excerpt from the back cover blurb:
Abydos: The merest whisper of the name sends shivers down the spines of the God-fearing people of Yrth. What lurks in the forbidden city of Abydos is so great a heresy, the Church suppresses all mention of its very existence. But such loathing has no meaning for the shambling, silent bodies who roam the streets of Abydos. The undead are the greatest resource of the necromantic priests who practice their dark heresies in that city. Their beliefs and mandates are backed by the blades of highly trained soldiers and a very silent majority. Written by fan-favorite author David Pulver (co-author of GURPS Fourth Edition), GURPS Banestorm: Abydos gives full details on the City of the Dead. This book describes Abydos' history, its religious and temporal organizations, and key features within the city itself. It also includes descriptions of major people and beings of the city, as well as adventure ideas and plot hooks for incorporating Abydos into your campaign.

Betrayer of Asgard
Let not the sword sleep in your hand, son of Asgard, nor let the blood lie thick and cold in your veins! Now is the time for battle, for bloodshed and for bold deeds that you will boast of in the meadhall – or in Valhalla! The white snows shall bear witness to our red victory over the dogs of Vanaheim! So speaks Cneph Coalhair, a mighty king of Asgard – but forces are moving in the north beyond the petty rivalries of mortal men. A foe, terrible and ancient, sleeps in the cold wastes beyond the north wind. Across the frozen tundra and towering mountains, the men of Asgard battle the Vanir, unaware that their true foe stirs in his sleep and plots to bring all the world to ruin. He is able to do this because one of the Aesir has turned on their kin and allied with the enemy – Asgard has been betrayed, and doom is coming! Conan & The Betrayer of Asgard is an adventure arc that takes your characters from 5th to 9th level, throwing them into the thick of the action as they battle Vanir berserkers, undead hordes, eldritch horrors and more! In the course of this epic adventure, the adventures will travel from the heart of Vanaheim to the very borders of fabled Hyperborea and beyond, and their swords will not lack skulls to cleave! But it will take more than sharp swords and bloodlust to save the northland – the characters must piece together the clues and identify the traitors before it is too late!

Rise of the Dead
This is a convention scenario with highly detailed characters and handouts intended for a theatrical style presentation in a single long session. Six days ago the hammer fell. The red comet did not strike the planet, but it was a near miss. Fragments smashed into the earth bringing tidal waves, storms, and fallout. This was a rage of elemental destruction that devastated most of the planet. Millions, perhaps even billions, have died. The main mass of the comet seems to have entered regular orbit. A red eye rises at night and glares balefully through an occasional rent in the near perpetual cloud cover: a hellish new moon added to the sky. Communications are out. Who knows what is happening out there? It seems like you will be on your own for some time.
