The Goon for Savage Worlds is up on Kickstarter, get in while you can…

If you’ve never heard of The Goon, here’s a quick rundown: The Goon is Dark Horse’s violent, retro-sci-fi comic of monsters and mayhem, pitting its titular character against a rogues’ gallery of zombies, robots (all named Bruno) mad scientists, spies, sasquatches, and more. And pretty soon it’ll be coming to a tabletop near you, thanks to the efforts of a successful Kickstarter campaign. And it’s got 10 days or so left, so there’s still plenty of time to get in on the action and snag all the backer rewards before the campaign closes out.

The Goon™ Roleplaying Game is based on the multiple Eisner Award-winning comic, The Goon, by Eric Powell.

Feast them peepers on a samplin’ of what we got lined up for ya in this 192-page extravaganza:

  • A guide to the Town’s mean streets and deadly secrets
  • New Edges and Hindrances so your character can toughen up and be like Goon
  • Setting Rules to help you bring the comedy and tragedy of Goon and Franky’s pulp-noir world to life
  • An adventure generator full of ideas to help build your own Goon™ stories
  • An unholy pack of shock-inducing Grievous Yarns (Savage Tales)
  • All the most infamous tough guys, lugs, dames, and evil, icky things from the comic’s entire run—with Savage Worlds game statistics
  • And an original Plot Point Campaign…one that sees the return of a few of Goon and Franky’s oldest and hillbilly-est enemies!

It’s printed in a whopping 192 pages of graphic novel format and available in Limited Edition hardcover, so lemme tell ya, bub—this is one game you won’t wanna miss!

This game ain’t about heroes, per se. More like antiheroes. Join the Goon’s crime syndicate—or play as Goon, Franky, and the rest of their crew—and fight off the rival gangs what’s encroachin’ on your turf, while you collect on Goon’s debts and whatnot. You might also succeed at fighting off the tide of bleak suffering that’s set to consume yer soul. Then again you might not!

More minis are on the way too…

But while you’re contemplatin’ the psychology and so forth, make sure to watch out for Zombie Priest and his legions of groanin’, brain-chomping zombies; they’re a constant hassle. If that ain’t bad enough, there’s crazed-yet-brilliant Dr. Hieronymus Alloy and his robots goin’ on a rampage every other week. You also want to keep a lookout for swarms of chug-heads…what they call “changelings.” Yeah. They’re nasty little buggers.

Believe me, pal, we ain’t even got to the worst of it yet. You sure you wanna join up with Goon’s crew?
