Voting Over!

Well, voting for the ENnies is now finished, and we all have to wait until August 4th to see if AH or RAD managed to win anything against all odds. I'll be in Paris at the time and while I don't seriously expect to win anything, it was still incredible being nominated anyway. Heartfelt thanks to anyone who voted for AH or me, and to the judges for nominating my little piece of vanity press.

R.A.D. and Cubicle 7 Team Up!

Although the first very short run of AH is due to hit stores soon, the success of AH has necessitated more, so...

Cubicle 7 – Radioactive Ape Designs Publishing Partnership Announced

Cubicle 7 Entertainment and Radioactive Ape Designs are pleased to announce they have formed a publishing partnership.

The partnership sees Radioactive Ape’s Best Selling post apocalyptic PDF “Atomic Highway” appear in print format through distributors and stores this coming June.

“I’ve been a fan of Colin’s work for many years, during his time freelancing across the industry, so when he started producing his own works I took notice. Also, as a fan of dark future fiction and games, Atomic Highway immediately hit all the right buttons on my radar”, said Angus Abranson of Cubicle 7, “The fact that the game has gone on to be a best seller in the PDF market and has received glowing reviews only cemented my desire to team up with him and help bring the game to a wider audience.”

“The success of Atomic Highway really caught me by surprise.” added Colin Chapman, Director of Radioactive Ape Design. “It quickly became clear that Atomic Highway needed real publishing power behind it if it was going to meet the demands of the print publication marketplace. Cubicle 7 have rapidly established themselves as a highly-regarded company at the forefront of RPG publishing, so I had no hesitation in teaming up with them.”

Official Vehicle Distance Tracking Sheets!

Dave Graffam has been at it again! This time he's produced official Atomic Highway seven-zone vehicle distance tracking mats along with bonus miniature-scaled battlemats of the same roads, both gridded and ungridded! He'll be producing assorted vehicle tokens soon to make tracking vehicle distance in AH even cooler, as well as more miniatures and terrain pieces for the minis users among us.

This game accessory features a heavily-weathered stretch of highway divided into 7 zones, which is just what you need to keep track of vehicle positions during chases in this awesome RPG. Two overhead views are provided in this packet, giving you a choice of a "straight overhead" look or a slight angled "perspective" view.

As a bonus, you get a 28mm-30mm battle mat of this scene!

The battle mat measures 16" x 20", which you can easily assemble from 4 sheets of standard-sized pages. An optional 1" gridded version of this battle mat is included.

CONTENTS: 2 full-color vehicle distance tracker sheets, and 2 full-color battle mats (plain or gridded). Each file in this set is in high-quality 300dpi resolution.

Grab 'em cheap HERE!

official Atomic Highway paper Miniatures!

R.A.D. is pleased to announce official Atomic Highway paper miniatures and papercraft models by the talented hand of Dave Graffam! Dave has already produced his first licensed set, a highly affordable but high quality group of Remnant Sentinels available HERE, also useful for depicting well-armed characters of any post-apocalyptic setting! Look for this and other great official support material from Dave in the future!

Colin

Update time!

So, what's been happening?

Atomic Highway has remained in the #1 Small Press slot on DriveThruRPG for a month now, the first supplement is being split into two (Irradiated Freask! being the first one, dedicated to more mutations of every variety, more psychic powers, more humanoid animals, humanoid plants, and mutant critters). Irradiated Freaks! is nearing completion writing-wise, all of the interior art is done, and the cover is underway. So, it'll be off to editing and layout soon!

I've also announced the next R.A.D. rpg (Against Alien Gods! - Swords vs. Superscience Roleplaying!), and development is slowly beginning on it.
