Cold Steel Reign Falls on the Web

A few weeks ago I was bitching about how a new game I was interested in -- Cold Steel Reign -- had an ad in a gaming magazine, but didn't have a Web site. The game has an interesting premise: the Civil War was never won, and instead, the conflict plunged the fractured United States (and presumably the rest of the world) into a new dark age. Two hundred years later, gunslingers are facing down sorcerers in the ruins of the America that was. Pretty darn cool.

The publishers have remedied that situation by launching www.coldsteelreign.com. The site has details about the game's upcoming Player's Handbook and Gamemaster's Guide and promises news, faqs and forums. There aren't any PDF previews, but there are some articles detailing the setting's history.

Nice site.

I was looking around for information about the rather promising Cold Steel Reign and I stumbled across this post.

Regardless, it's always good to meet another gamer. See ya around.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad I could help you track down the game; it was a little frustrating when they were advertising it but didn't have a web presence, but thankfully the site's up now. I'm hoping we'll see some PDF preview goodies on the site in the near future, but that may just be wishful thinking.
