Will the supplements be going to print as well?

It depends. The mutant cannibal supplement is a bit of an odd duck since its only about 30 pages and I am not sure that is worth printing outside of a collection of similarly sized supplements. Most of the normal TNT supplements will be about 100 pages and more amendable to printing. This all of course assumes demand and I get the first book printed first.

This game is seriously one of the best rulesets I have ever played, I am seriously looking forward to a print book, but it is well worth looking at in electronic formats as well.

Listen up Australian wastelanders! Are you going to PAX Australia? Do you want to rule the wastes? Are you keen to put the boot to some giant radioactive ants or beastly mutants? Of course you are! Jayden Barr and compatriots, some of the finest Aussies there are, will be running This Is Not a Test participation games all day Friday – Sunday in the miniatures gaming section of the tabletop area, gate 10 of the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre main hall. Be there or miss the next rig to Valhalla.

Is there a trial rules PDF that one can download. Seems like an interesting game.

Hi folks. World's End Publishing is proud to release our latest warband supplement, Mutant Cannibals. Information is below. Thank you.




Product Description

Just in time for Halloween, the Mutant Cannibals supplement adds a ghoulish new twist to your games of This Is Not a Test. This supplement fully re-introduces the terrible mutant cannibal family as a fully playable warband, as well as a host of extra material. Beyond game rules, the supplement also features gorgeous full color art work by Dario Jelusic and dynamic photography by Dave Taylor Miniatures

Mutant Cannibal Warband

The mutant cannibals are a nightmare come true. Living in twisted family clans, they raid wasteland settlements and seek the flesh of their foes. Led by the matriarch or the patriarch of the family, a host of gruesome family members are at your command. Whether it’s the deceptively lovely Petunia, the simple, but gargantuan Tiny, or even the blood-crazed psychos who hold torture as an art form. The cannibal mutant warband also feature the ability to access to wasteland critters such a great rats, rad roaches, or the powerful psychic husk.

Access the Cannibal Armory

The mutant cannibals bring with them an array of deadly weaponry and deviant equipment. With everything from new vicious close combat weapons, to guns that literally boil the enemy alive with blood, and armor made out of the skin of their poor victims, the armory in this supplement is a true terror to behold. But don’t lose all hope, other warbands can also use most of these weapons!

New Scenarios

Finally this supplement introduces two new scenarios: The Night Has Eyes and Snack Attack. Favoring the mutants chosen form of attack, these night raids feature the two most common cannibal themes, attacking your enemy while they sleep and raiding a settlement for a little nourishment. Of course these scenarios are definitely playable by other warbands and don’t necessarily have to be about blood and guts, but why would you want that?
Key Features:
Detailed history of the cannibal clans
Fully playable Mutant Cannibal warband
Wasteland Critters as available warband members
16 new weapons, armor, grenades, and equipment
Two new scenarios: Snack Attack and The Night Has Eyes
Full color art by Dario Jelusic
Dynamic photography by Dave Taylor Miniatures

Not yet. You can read an older version of the rules at our website, but we are working on a full demo copy of the game that will include almost everything you need to give it try. Look out for it in the next few weeks.

You are too kind, sir.

Anyone know where to get those Six String Samurai figures from?

Im in on this game. going to drop a hundred and all it a day.

I played the game at PAX on the weekend and it was great. A truly beautiful table with great rules run by some fantastic guys. Even though I got into some serious trouble with a giant scorpion I had a blast. The Wasteland calls me now...

Oh, and thanks for the rats!

Atomic Café do one.

It is a cool game, can't wait for that physical book!

I decided a while ago that my sci fi gaming was going to aim more at post apocalyptic than future war, so I downloaded this and had a look.

Looks really fun, a bit like a streamlined necromunda in a lot of ways but with a strong post - apocalyptic (Fallout!) flavour.

I want to make a decent Post Apoc board and some warbands and give it a go. (I'd love to have ruined freeway like you have in Fallout 3, I think it's really iconic).

Already thinking -
Wargames Factory Zulu/Plains Indians with modern weapons - Tribals
Wargames Factory Zombie Survivors - Caravaners
Mantic Plague - Mutants (Super Mutants) (with Crypt Ghouls as Trogs)
Mantic Enforcers - Power Armoured dudes
GW Chaos Cultists and other conversions - Raiders

Also want to do a bunch of wasteland critters and robots. Just need to find someone to play! (My Fiancé is not a huge post apoc fan :( )

Any news on this guy? I've been looking over the videos in another thread, and am now quite curious at the status of any printed books.

Actually expect an update from me soon concerning the printed book. Exciting things are a foot.

Hooray!

any update on an electronic version, full or trial edition?

Well the electronic version is already available at our website as a PDF. We are working on a demo version of the rules that will have the basic rules, a new scenario, and free paper miniatures so that all you need to run is basically some dice. No release date for that just yet.

While we suss out the final details to bring the book to you. The proof has been received and it is glorious, I thought I might bring attention to our Black Friday deal. Feel free to check it out. Thanks.

Glad to hear the book is on the way!

From Facebook:

Just a quick holiday note before the holiday begins in earnest. We will be closed for a few days during the holiday. Orders will be sent as quickly as possible, but expect brief delays. Also, for those asking, the book is being worked on. The plan is to launch a small Kickstarter in January to fund the first printing. Launch date is still in flux. Happy holidays and stay safe out the in the wastes.

A kickstarter?

I wonder how that will incorporate the promised discount for those of us who bought the .pdf?

We'll see. As long as the ROW shipping is favourable I'm not too miffed about whether or not I get a discount on this one in my personal opinion.

I just bought the PDF to read during holiday travels. Now I'm excited to try the game out.

I am interested in seeing if there's a discount in the KS. I wouldn't mind a print copy, but the $25 I paid for the PDF felt a bit pricey for electronic format.

Sorry for the delay, but the Kickstarter is still under wraps until I sort out the details. My hope is to launch in January sometime. For those who purchased the rules prior to launch, there will probably not be a discount, but there will be a nice reward for being an early adopter, something I think folks will be happy with. Shipping is going to be one of those issues that we are working on. The book is two pounds, as American weights go, and thus expensive to ship. Right now the US Post Office is quoting the cheapest overseas shipping as $25. I am looking into ways to get that down. So wish me luck. Thanks for the interest guys.

Sounds great Deathwing, looking forward to it!

We are proud to announce the This Is Not a Test Hardcover Rulebook Kickstarter! We launch on March 8.



There will also be special edition miniatures and some other neat stuff. We aim to keep it low key and achievable. Please spread far and wide if you would kindly.

All the best.

YEEEESSSSSS!

I will be there!

Extremely hyped. My friends and I grabbed the ,pdf during Black Friday, and instantly fell in love (Guerrilla's bat-reps helped sell us initially). It really is one of the finest skirmish games I have ever played, and elements of it have inspired the bank-heist skirmish system I am working on currently.

I will throw money at this KS without question, especially if some of the supplements which we don't own are included.

Ordered 4 of the Pig Iron Kolony Ferals which I think will work well as a Children of Atom themed mutant warband. Sadly ther est of the ferals are OOP and Pig Iron is closing down, though they are in talks with other companies to sell the miniature range.

Huh cool I'll keep an eye here so I'll know when the kickstarter is out. Looks interesting.

Simply put, it is one of the best skirmish games I've played in my entire 23 years of tabletop gaming.

It is basically tabletop Fallout. If you like that IP, like skirmish games or like anything post-apocalyptic, it is well worth playing.
