Description
Historical Turning Points: Tortuga is the eighth and final release of the Historical Turning Points series of PDF web exclusives produced by Catalyst Game Labs. The product uses the Chaos Campaign rules and provides a campaign setting for players to delve into the conflict between the Periphery nations of Filtvelt Coalition and the Pirates of the Tortuga Dominions on Tortuga Prime during the height of the Jihad in 3076. It portrays the efforts of the Filtvelt Coalition to stop the increasing number of raids conducted by the pirates and the failed campaign to cripple manufacturing capacities on Tortuga Prime.
From the Back Cover
| “ | While the Jihad raged, pirates had their way with the newborn Filtvelt Coalition. Finally, the Filtvelters had suffered too much. They launched an invasion of Tortuga Prime, to punish the pirates in their den. But the force sent to exact retribution found itself mired in a close-packed city filled with traps and enemies too numerous to count. The invasion became a desperate effort to survive to return home, bearing secrets the pirates and their Word of Blake sponsors would prefer remain concealed.
Historical Turning Points: Tortuga uses the Chaos Campaign rules and gives players the option of fighting individual battles, following a campaign arc, or inserting it into their own campaigns. This PDF exclusive includes a rundown of the forces involved in the conflict, and several tracks that players can use to recreate the entire violent conflict on Tortuga. Only the players' imaginations are the limits. |
