The War Rocks The Crossgen RPG

The War is coming...and now you can join the fight!

CrossGen Entertainment and Fast Forward Entertainment, Inc. have expanded the CrossGen Role Playing Game to incorporate and reflect events that will soon rock the entire CrossGen Universe in the Spring 2004 event THE WAR. Subsequently, the anticipated release date for the CROSSGEN CAMPAIGN SYSTEM RULE BOOK has been adjusted to December of 2003.

"The cataclysmic events coming up in THE WAR will have a dramatic impact on every part of the CrossGen Universe. When the whole scope of THE WAR was outlined to me, it became obvious that by doing some solid revisions and long term planning, we could let players of the CROSSGEN RPG experience the action right along with the characters in the comics," stated CrossGen's VP Special Projects Brandon Peterson. "The release of THE WAR and the CROSSGEN RPG will be a game player's dream: huge, mythic drama and warfare played across the whole of two universes."

"We've been working very close with the staff at CrossGen to make sure that everything we do completely reflects their ever-changing worlds," stated Fast Forward VP of Sales & Marketing John Danovich. "And while most of the rule book was already written, we all realized that THE WAR was just too big and important not to incorporate into the initial launch."

Published under the Open Gaming License due to the character creation rules that are necessary for playing in the CrossGen Universe, the highly-anticipated rule book features gorgeous full color interior art by the fantastic stable of CrossGen artists.

"CrossGen has some of the best artists in the entire comics industry working on their titles, and we are extremely pleased to be able to bring their amazing creations to the gaming world," said James M. Ward, President of Fast Forward.
