The Escalation Wars: Empire Rising was released earlier this month. It is the second source material book to be released for the VBAM Campaign Guide campaign system and is available for electronic download via RPGNow.
Empire Rising introduces the player to the Escalation Wars universe, an epic setting in which nations have risen and fell for countless galactic generations. The book focuses on the Circasian Empire, a young power that would be instrumental in the trials by fire still to come.
