Not sure how many of you are into World of Darkness (Classic or New) but there is a nWoD Kickstarter called Dark Eras.  For $5 you can select a venue of the book that you'll get as a PDF plus they had fairly cheap add-ons ranging from New Wave Requiem($5) to World of Darkness: Innocents($12).

Is that to Regina or our US PO box?  If US, there'll be 10% taxes at the border.

Dawn, your link isn't working but I think it's this project?

Sorry Lori, didn't see the message before gaming last night. I'll bring it next time I see you.

[RockBane]

Yip, that looks right, Lori.  And yea, to get the physical book, it does cost a bit more due to the boarder tax, $25 I believe.

They are also offering a discount on PoD editions usually from DriveThruRPG at certain tiers so that you don't have to wait on the deluxe edition.  I got my PoD before I got my deluxe edition for W20 Changing Breeds and W20 Book of the Wyrm. I'm still waiting on my W20 Book of the Wyrm due to cover issues for the deluxe.

Thunderbirds
A new co-operative game by Matt Leacock, creator of all the Pandemic games as well as Forbidden Island/Desert.
Rahdo Run-Through

Thunderbirds is a cult 1960s British science-fiction television series, created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. It was produced using a combination of marionette puppetry and scale-model special effects, which was dubbed "Supermarionation". Two series, totaling thirty-two 50-minute episodes, were produced, along with a film using the same techniques.

Racing to the rescue from a secret island base beneath the luxurious home of the Tracy family somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean, International Rescue defies government spies and criminals who want the secrets of their incredible machines for their own. To combat this threat, Lady Penelope, International Rescue's aristocratic English secret agent, and her chauffeur Parker lead a network of agents to uncover those behind the disasters caused by deliberate sabotage.

A criminal mastermind known as "the Hood", operating from a temple deep in the Malaysian jungle and in possession of strange powers, often engineers events to allow him to spy on the Thunderbird machines with the goal of selling their secrets to the highest bidder.

The iconic Thunderbirds are designed by the Tracy family's close friend "Brains" and are assigned to each of the five Tracy brothers:

    Thunderbird 1, piloted by Scott Tracy – a hypersonic rocket plane used for fast response and rescue-zone reconnaissance, and as a mobile control base.
    Thunderbird 2, piloted by Virgil Tracy – a supersonic, VTOL carrier which transports their major rescue equipment in detachable pods.
    Thunderbird 3, piloted by Alan Tracy – a single-stage, vertically launched spacecraft
    Thunderbird 4, piloted by Gordon Tracy – a utility submersible for underwater rescue, launched from Thunderbird 2
    Thunderbird 5, manned by John Tracy – a space station in geostationary orbit that monitors calls for help from across Earth.

Finally, Lady Penelope has the iconic FAB 1
