Apocalypse Prevention, Inc. 2nd Edition

The news been around for a time but API is getting a 2nd Edition for its 5th year anniversary.  The staff at Third Eye Games gave us a list this morning of things to look forward!

20 playable races (there were only 10 in the original corebook)
New Reasons mechanic to replace Passions
New Fight Style rules to really seal in the fresh battles
New Stamina rules more in line with DGS-Lite, but slightly different!
Full conversion rules for taking characters and concepts from API1E and translating them to API2E


20 playable races, that's insane!  That probably means all the lore that comes with the playable races as well.  As I have mentioned before, I play the Savaged! Edition of API, I think this is a great opportunity to try it in DGS (Dynamic Gaming System).  I can't wait to getting more updates on this.  I also wonder if there is going to be a second edition for the Savage Worlds version as well!

Apocalypse Prevention, Inc. Savage Worlds Edition!

I've been running a campaign for a while of the Savage Worlds edition of Apocalypse Prevention, Inc. by Third Eye Games, Eloy Lasanta.  Unlike the base idea where generally you would play as an USA API agent, on my campaign my players are agents of a small API office on Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.  The team is composed of mainly Human agents, but there is a Burner and a Wolf People that by the way on Puerto Rico I call them Opias.  Basically most of the campaign has been trying to subdue a group of spectrals called "Los F" which are Arawak Indians angry ghosts with a really sad past.

I like to add my local folklore legends to my campaigns so my players feel more familiar with the setting.  So i been for a few months now playing with the idea of a new type of demon (API chosen name for extra-dimensional aliens).  The answer i came up with are the Spikes.  The Spike are in essence Vejigantes (folkloric creatures from festivals in Puerto Rico, today people still dress as them).  Why Spikes are helping API and why they are feared still today, that I will answer in future fan supplements.  For now I would like to share with you the Spikes a new race for Apocalypse Prevention, Inc., hope you like it.
