A friend of mine who is on Facebook (I’m not, so I wouldn’t have seen that) showed my a post from the Warzone/Mutant Chronicles group, where the poster referred to an announcement by Modiphius to publish several(!) new Mutant Chronicles 3 campaigns in 2021.
That would be great news, if there is some substance to it.
Could anyone from Modiphius confirm that there are new products, especially new campaigns for Mutant Chronicles 3 planned for 2021?
I have taken the time and watched the announcement video from ModCon on Twitch: Video Link
Matt Forbeck apparently had a script for the continuation of the Venusian Apocalypse Campaign (this campaign for MC3 was already published quite a while ago, and it was originally published for Mutant Chronicles 2 decades ago).
This script was supposed to be for a graphic novel. But Modiphius wants to publish it as a roleplaying campaign for MC3 with the title(?) “Dark Eden”.
But there already is a Dark Eden Campaign for MC3.
So I am a bit confused why the new campaign has the same title as the old one.
Due to the new campaign being the continuation of the old Venusian Apocalypse, the Venusian Apocalypse gets reprinted (if I understood that correctly), as it is the lead to the new campaign.
And for the boardgame “Siege of the Citadel” there will be a RPG campaign for MC3 where the players can play the iconic characters from the boardgame in a roleplaying campaign.
That is, what I took from the video I’ve linked above regarding Mutant Chronicles.
I am curious about Dark Eden and how Forbeck will navigate using the original comic that never was at that story line and if he will do his own Forbeck universe thing or will he alter it to match the 3rd edition version of events.
I hope everyone has had a chance to read the original never published script of part 1.
It’s on forbeck’s blog
Most exciting thing in years.
Lets hope Fred & Matt go ahead and write a novel for Mutant Chronicles.
I haven’t bought it yet, but it seems to be a bit similar to the Living Campaign adventure “The Purging of the Crucible”. Does anyone know more about that?
Is this the very same adventure?
At least some love for MC !
But yes this is defenitely the print adaptation of the living campaign of the same name, I see the same map.
Looking at the docs I have of the living campaign, it seems that it was never finished so this could be interesting.
I think I may even include that scenario in the Dark Legion or Dark Eden campaign, a good old dungeon crawl !
After looking at the previews on DriveThru, it’s definitely the living campaign scenarios with an added conclusion and a layout that fits the other books.
As far as I can tell the maps were not updated (or very slightly)
I hope it’s not a cynical way to try to grab extract some money before the license or whatever expires.
To be honest in the end I’m a little disappointed, 10$ for the pdf is a bit high considering more than half of it was free before.
I really hope we can get additional stuff very soon!
I did buy the book because I was excited there is some new product from the MC RPG line however went almost berserk when I afterwards discovered this is the old living campaign adventure pack! I mean - what is this??? They do not support the game, abandon the living campaign, botch the Siege of the Citadel print and then push out a product which we should have received for free before if they did their job properly??? Btw, I also did have a similar feeling about them just skimming us for money before the licence gets pulled.
I am seriously not buying anything from them anymore.
And about the planned campaign based on the Matt Forbeck comic line:
I have exchanged some e-mails with Matt because I wanted to know about some projects of his and also asked about the planned campaign based on his outline / comic book - he was asked to write a foreword for it and that’s it. He is not involved with the actual design or anything… so who knows when and even if we are getting something.
