One such person is ex-Spectrum VP, Eddy Webb. In order to help him and his wife, Michelle, through this tough time, we’ve done what many fans have been clamoring for anyway. That's right, we’ve released a Season 3 “deluxe series book” PDF for Dark Brigade (the series featured in the 2003 CAH supplement, "Darkness Unleashed") and we're giving half the profit to Eddy and Michelle. The text is mostly culled from the original supplement, which was written by Eddy himself, and has been fully updated for the newest edition of the game. As opposed to the other series books we’ve released to date (which have been less than 20 pages), this deluxe series book clocks in at 52 pages. In those 52 pages, you’ll find: • Information about the fictitious cartoon series, which chronicles the elite para-military group known as the Dark Brigade that finds itself at odds with the vampiric Lord Syn and his vile Brotherhood of Death, as they wage war all over the world in an exciting struggle of good versus evil! • Exhaustive details about the two factions and their various ally groups such as EVE X and the Order of Charr. • Write-ups and stats for 15 Game Master Characters, 9 vehicles, 2 playsets, 6 weapons, 5 types of Goons and 3 generic minor villains. • Information about the various supernatural races found in the series, including two varieties of zombie, ghouls, gillmen, two varieties of vampires, wolfmen, goblins, witches, mummies and golems. • Details for creating your own Player Characters. • Twelve episode seeds, including the epic "Darkness Unleashed", The Dark Brigade movie. Additionally, each seed includes advice for setting up and running it. • Tons of fantastic art! Dark Brigade is a “pay what you want” product, though our Kickstarter backers who pledged to the "Avid Viewer" tier or higher will receive the PDF as well.
