Utherwald Press / Cold War Skirmishes: Blackburn Buccaneer

« on: March 19, 2018, 10:12:38 AM »

This week we're doing something a little different for Cold War Skirmishes, we're gonna try and stat up an aircraft.

Our candidate is the Blackburn Buccaneer, a British carrier-borne attack aircraft designed in the 1950s for the Royal Navy to counter a new generation of Soviet warships. Used by the Fleet Air Arm, RAF and South African Air Force seeing combat action in both the Gulf War of 1991 and the South African Border War. They also put in appearances at the US' Exercise RED FLAG from 1977 through to 1983.

Utherwald Press / Cold War Skirmishes: Dispatch #1

« on: March 12, 2018, 03:31:22 PM »

Recently took a break from Frozen Skies related topics and did a Cold War Skirmishes installment, one that seems to have been hugely popular. So this week figured I would discuss the current plans for the Cold War Skirmishes line. Basically covering what is being worked on and whats in the pipeline for the future.

Utherwald Press / Cold War Skirmishes: Sterling SMG

« on: March 05, 2018, 12:05:34 PM »

This week we take a break from Frozen Skies and do a Cold War Skirmishes instalment.

We'll be taking a look at the Sterling SMG, the British Army's submachine gun that served alongside the L1A1 SLR for much of the Cold War period. It was used by a number of other countries in a number of different conflicts (including both sides of the Falklands War). Star Wars fans may recognize the Sterling as being the basis for the blaster used by Imperial Stormtroopers in the Original Trilogy.

As ever, brief overview of the weapon and modifications/variants.

Utherwald Press / Sodkan Imperial Remnants

« on: February 26, 2018, 04:07:27 PM »

Prior to the Great Darmonican War, the Holy Sodkan Empire was considered one of the 'great powers' of Darmonica and held sway over extensive territories. During the course of the war, the Empire suffered huge reversal of fortune and splintered into the Iron Collective and the Union of Sodkan Republics. There are many who mourn the lost of the Empire, there are also others who seek its restoration.

Cool.

Should be pretty much sorted, certainly covered for most critters with the core rulebook and FC.

Utherwald Press / Rogue's Gallery: Fayra Lockwood

Whilst there are hundreds, if not thousands, of souls living in Alyeska only a few wield any degree of influence on the world around them. Some are in positions of power, others rely on might and bloodshed. There are some who are most subtle, yet their actions still send ripples across Alyeska and even beyond. One of these people is the Commonwealth's top agent in Alyeska and the Queen's personal troubleshooter; Fayra Lockwood.

Right.

Just the core rulebook you have or have you managed to get your hands on the Fantasy Companion?

Oh, think I've heard of a little system called Savage Worlds...

Though I can lend a hand and answer questions, though if you're going to release stuff I'd advise looking at the fan license; https://www.peginc.com/licensing/

There are some pretty good 'fan' products out there like Saga of the Goblin Horde.

Utherwald Press / Rogue's Gallery: Genchi Clubmen

« on: February 12, 2018, 10:09:51 AM »

A second Rogue's Gallery in a row?

What madness is this?

Its part of some ideas I've to further flesh out and develop the world of Darmonica to make it seem more like a living, breathing world. The recent Airman's Gazetteer series was part of this and so will be a few Rogue's Gallery posts. This week's post expands a bit on Genchi culture and provides potential allies or enemies for the characters to encounter.

Utherwald Press / Rogue's Gallery: The Black Talons

« on: February 05, 2018, 12:06:45 PM »

Herein we return to highlighting denizens and persons of note that inhabit the frigid land of Alyeska.

Whilst a great many good natured souls call Alyeska home, there are a few who bear dark stains. Bandits and sky pirates immediately spring to mind, the newsheets certainly help keep them front and center in people's minds. There is another group, a group infamous for its bloody reign of terror in the Alyeskan wilderness.

They are a band of Windryders who call themselves the Black Talons.

« on: January 29, 2018, 04:51:38 PM »

First update of the new year.

The biggest thing is progress with the Kickstarter fulfillment, something thats taken a shift forwards and is probably of interest to a few people. There is a couple of other things that tie into the Kickstarter which some details about will be posted. Lastly there will be some stuff concerning what Utherwald Press has planned for this year.

Utherwald Press / The Airman's Gazetteer: Back of Beyond

« on: January 22, 2018, 04:37:52 PM »

Now that the 'core' nations of Darmonica have been covered we come to the last entry in the Airman's Gazetteer series; The more distant but relatively unknown reaches of Darmonica.

The major powers of Darmonica are aware that distant lands lie well beyond their borders, though the details are sketchy at best. Some lands have been discovered and explored a little, others are only known thanks to travelers from foreign parts. There is also the prospect of remnant enclaves of Ancient Terrans waiting to be found.

Utherwald Press / Re: The Airman's Gazetteer: Pamdinia

« on: January 17, 2018, 05:42:34 PM »

I'm mentally tagging this one as "Ship Switzerland" :p

Yes, suppose that is technically correct (the best kind of correct!).

Kinda missing mercs though.

Utherwald Press / The Airman's Gazetteer: Pamdinia

« on: January 15, 2018, 05:35:59 PM »

Nestled to the south of the Artian Confederation is one of Darmonica's few surviving small countries; Pamdinia.

 Wedged in between the Mammut Sea to its south and the Odin Mountain Range to the north, Pamdinia is a long but narrow country with few natural resources. It managed to stay neutral during the Great Darmonican War, primarily due to its status as a major trading partner of the Sultanate of Taramate and the strong Pamdinian Navy.

Hmm, this sounds a fun setting. Possibility of a "flaming skies" Darmonica supplement someday far into the future, perhaps?

The proper title of the Frozen Skies book is Realms of Darmonica: Frozen Skies.
