Heavy Gear Revitalized – Paxton Gambit

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Welcome to Heavy Gear Revitalized! Until now the older Heavy Gear ebooks available on DriveThruRPG have been scanned copies of the original printed books. Dream Pod 9 is happy to announce the release of high-quality electronic format ebooks for the Heavy Gear Classic Roleplaying & Tactical Game publications. Made possible by the team of Michael Butt (Project Manager) and Brad Fischer (Roaring Mouse Graphics) who converted the old Macintosh Pager Maker files into modern Adobe format. A big thank you to Michael and Brad for taking on the massive effort to Revitalize all the old Dream Pod 9 Heavy Gear products.

"Peace Officer! Don't move!"

The suspect froze as he was ordered. His back was to Officer Donnely and he was wearing a baggy trench coat. Donnely's P9 pistol was pointed squarely at him.

"Hands up! Turn around slowly." While the suspect did so, Donnely reported in on her headset. "Intruder apprehended. Request pickup at my position."

"Confirmed, officer Donnely," came the patrol dispatch officer's voice. "Keep the suspect where you are. Bulldogs are leaving the pound now."

Donnely relaxed at the news that patrol cars would be at her side in mere minutes. She had this perp cold, but the BRF was known for its tricks. She could never be too careful.

"Freedom for the people," he whispered.

It was only then she noticed the mad gleam in his eyes and the small deadman switch in his right hand. He let go.

Donnely didn't even have time to scream.

Picking up where the Second Edition Heavy Gear Rulebook left off, the Paxton Gambit brings Heavy Gear fans back to Peace River, the Badlands' most powerful city-state. In the last two cycles, the city and its corporate master Paxton Arms have been rocked by scandal, assassination and terrorism. Paxton is determined to secure itself before things get out of control and its enemies are desperate to strike a telling blow. Now, Eastern rebels and Northern diplomats have come to town to strike a secret deal. Enemies are coming out of the woodwork to ruin the negotiations and bring the whole city down with them. The only thing standing in their way is a small cadre of peace officers in over their heads...

The Paxton Gambit: Peace River Showdown is a complete roleplaying campaign supplement and mini-sourcebook suitable for beginning and experienced Heavy Gear Players. It includes:

  • Additional background on Peace River and recent events;
  • Detailed information on the Peace Officer Corps, including specialized equipment and vehicles;
  • Maps of Peace River and cutaway diagrams of its structure;
  • A complete roleplaying campaign, including nine linked scenarios;
  • Game statistics for three Paxton Gears;

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
