Cold City Hot War: In World Documentation

Something you might remember from the first editions of Cold City and Hot War is the idea of presenting setting through in-world documents and ephemera. The second edition will build on this, and having read the absolute wealth of such setting material in the opening section of Cold City, we think it’s going to be really immersive book.

There’s just so much tone and content in these kinds of documents. You can learn about characters within the setting, what their conflicts, concerns, needs and wants are all about. The organisations within world of Cold City and Hot War are presented in the way they speak, and their relationships and actions in the world, demonstrated by these fragments of documentiaon.

The examples here aren’t the final thing – these still need to undergo some editing and corrections, but we wanted to share some of what you can expect to see inside the book, all in glorious colour. The two games will be presented as digest-sized hardcovers, with the option to have both in a slipcase.
