T2000 v2 Rooks Gambit

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The long-awaited return to the war-torn world of Twilight 2000.

After three years of bloody stalemate on the battlefields of Europe, the United States Army stands poised to return home. An ad hoc evacuation fleet has been assembled in Bremerhaven, Germany, and U.S. forces are converging on the port city from all over the continent.

Ensconced in his sprawling castle headquarters in northern Poland, an ambitious Soviet Field Marshall, acting without orders from Stavka, plans to destroy the gathering military might of the United States in Europe with one fell swoop, single-handedly winning World War III for his motherland. 

A classic caper for a classic role- playing game, this is Rook's Gambit, the first adventure module for Twilight 2000 released since 1993. Set in Poland on the eve of Operation OMEGA, Rook's Gambit sends the player characters on a high-stakes mission to save the United States Army in central Europe from a rogue Soviet Field Marshall with delusions of grandeur and access to an errant American nuclear weapon.

Rook's Gambit is compatible with both editions of the Twilight 2000 core rules, and includes ample material designed to support an exciting, mission-based campaign set in Northern Poland. In addition to descriptions of the titular setting of Marienburg Castle, home of the Soviet Baltic Front headquarters, and the surrounding city of Malbork, Poland, Rook's Gambit features profiles of major non-player characters, regional factions, and nearby communities. In a Twilight 2000 first, three separate narrative adventure starters are provided to help referees kick start the adventure. Do you have what it takes to foil the Rook's Gambit?

Looks like a spin on Bear's Den?

Insofar as it features a Soviet general who has possession of a nuclear weapon, yes. In Rook's Gambit, however, this general has concrete plants to use it, and his target links this adventure with the events of the original 1e module, Going Home. Also, the general in Bear's Den doesn't have his headquarters in a massive, red brick, Teutonic castle. I won't claim that Rook's Gambit is any better than Bear's Den, but it's definitely different.

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
