This Just In... Precis Intermedia Acquires Mystic Ages Publishing Properties

Precis Intermedia (publishers of Shatterzone and  Masterbook, as well as the GenreDiversions games among others) has acquired the rights to the Eldritch Ass Kicking, Barbarians Versus and Foreign Element games written by Nathan Hill and published by his Mystic Ages Publishing imprint.

The PDF of the science fiction game Foreign Element is already available through the Precis Intermedia webstore.

The description of Foreign Element from the Precis Intermedia page:

Humanity's ambush push into the stars is halted with a mysterious event known as the Great Blackout. Thousands of colonies, space stations, and space craft go silent in a matter of days and weeks. Now, the Interplanetary Union is scrambling to discover what happened, sending out RX teams to diagnose the rot spread through known space. Infiltrate remote outposts, hack into corporate secrets, and blast your way through enemy hordes as you unlock this mystery and your hero's destiny.

• Fast-paced, rules light system utilizes six-sided dice.
• Six archetype characters, ready to play -- or create your own desperate or courageous citizen.
• Heroes don't die -- nano robotic technology in the distant future regenerates a dead comrade in days.
• No equipment lists to maintain -- a dice pool mechanic increases as you scavenge ruined tech and decreases as you use it to do cool things.
• Some battles and tasks have deadlines -- face consequences if you can't hack the mainframe in time!
• Missions within missions -- earn extra credits working for shadowy sources, and spend them upgrading your hero with self-help services in space!
• The mystery is left up to you -- you decide what caused the Great Blackout and whether it might happen again.

I'm sure that we'll see other former Mystic Ages games making their way up on the Precis Intermedia website, and eventually on the OneBookShelf sites.
