Cowboys & Mutants! The New Dystopian Dawn Source Adventure Book


What is Cowboys & Mutants?

Click the link above to check out the video!




Cowboys & Mutants brings you FIVE Story Arcs interwoven throughout the book with scores of Detailed Events across the wasteland. The GM can run each as a separate campaign, weave them together for a huge adventure, or grab smaller scenarios as "one-shots". The book is written with YOUR flexibility in mind!


I guess it would've been easier to say "This book is GM-Friendly!" 


Through this campaign, I'm offering PLENTY of options - from individual digital and print books to bundles to a bucketload of Add-Ons - all priced right for any budget!

What's in the BOOK?!

The lore of New Rome and Alamex are expanded with a slew of new tales like... 

- A fallout vault from the time before once used by New Rome as a prison after making an unknown deal with a Lich!
- A new Gladiator Arena ran by renegade Legionnaires!
- Two new Wasteland Raider villages, each hunted by Mutants, rivals, and legionnaires!
- Four new ranch and farm locations under mystical seige by a Cabal of Druids.
- Railroad and Telegraph expansions under attack by Robbers and Orks!
- Road Bandits and Bank Robbers!
- The Hellgate province is expanded with a host of NPCs, buildings, and the first real STORE!
- Mutated Monsters of Myth amassing on the border... or are they?
- Over a dozen new locations are detailed for your world expansion!
- A whole section on new gear!
- For the first time in any Source Book - MAGIC ITEMS!
- New Magic!
- Scores of New NPCs to populate your world!

What About the Other Books?

Dystopian Dawn has an ever growing library now!

The Core Books are the Player's Guide and Game Master's Guide

There are Three other Source Adventure Books!


- Danger Zone expands The Nether with 6 new areas & hosts of new NPCs


- Secrets of Sacred Mountain expands the tri-corner area with a new Trading Post (great place to start a new group) and new Character Nationalities to choose from. It also adds a new level of lore steeped in Native American myth and legend.


- Time Warped expands ALL of Paradisium and unlocks the secrets in Terminexus and Seclusion Falls while adding six new areas and two vastly different campaign concepts.  It's like Planet of the Apes meets TMNT! It also adds the option of Mutated Beast Characters!

Formats

- Each book is available in Digital PDF and Soft Cover format.
- The Core Books are also available in Hard Cover (different art).
- Time Warped also comes in a Limited Edition (only 12 left) Alternate Cover!

Shipping - Timeline & Price Estimates

Normally, I ship everything via USPS. Most orders I can ship Media Mail to reduce costs.

I will review BackerKit's shipping services to provide you with the most cost effective option.

I order materials from different production companies, inspect everything, and sign books

Then I personally package your pledge and take it to the post office.

I'll update the shipping rates per pledge upon campaign completion.

The average CONUS (Continental US) shipping for a full set of books & screens ran about 10-15$ for my last campaign. Overseas (Europe for example) shipping ran 80-110$ on average for a full set. I will happily ship anywhere in the world, just know that overseas mailing prices are quite high.

As soon as the campaign funds, I will commision the artists and get to work adjusting the layouts for new art, new NPCs, etc. I expect that to take 3-8 weeks depending on the final volume. I'll post frequent updates to let everyone know the progress.

I anticipate receiving all materials and shipping within 5-8 weeks once everything is complete. I'll post an update when the orders go out and when I start shipping to you.

The slowest production items are the Screens, taking up to a month. The books I normally have within a few weeks. If there is a delay on items, I will post an update.
