Madden's Boys continues NUELOW Games's effort to shine a little light on cool forgotten characters and comic book creators and this is perhaps our most significant effort in that regard yet. Madden and his small body of work is so disregarded that even respected Golden Age historians respond with a "who?" when approached with questions. Like our previous Madden-centric books Mother Hubbard and The Unholy 3 & OGL Trickery, we present the entirety of a series he drew (in this case "Dynamic Boy") but the book also contains his contributions to the "Yankee Boy" series--the three inaugural stories of one the more successful creations to emerge from Harry 'A' Chesler's studio.
In addition to showcasing Bill Madden's dynamic artwork, Madden's Boys contains the most varied selection of roleplaying game material we've included in our comics/rpg hybrid books so far. Not only does it contain an all-new set of rules for making superheroes in d20 OGL Modern superhero games, but it also features game statistics for Dynamic Boy and Yankee Boy in the ROLF! and Hideout & Hoodlums game systems/ And it's all behind an original cover by Darrel Miller.
On New Comics Day this week, why don't you add a copy of Madden's Boys to your DriveThruComics shopping cart? You won't regret it!
Is there any chance of a Bundle containing all of the Superhero-related NUELOW supplements on DTRPG? Or is there already one, and I just missed it? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAre you interested in the comics or the RPG material, or equally in both? (As for the bundle... we hadn't thought about it, but now that it's been suggested, we might as well put one together!
ReplyDeleteIf it's the rules stuff you're interested, when we're done with the Blue Beetle trilogy, and a Gene Colan/Steve Ditko anthology, we're turning our attention to revising and compiling both the ROLF!- and d20 System-superhero themed rules into two single products, with at least the ROLF! one being a stand-alone game.
Let us know what sounds appealing!
