Hi Guys,
I just wanted to let ya'll know about another supplement for Interface Zero that we'll be releasing in june, called "Road rage: Jump Bike Racing in 2088."
This book will go into detail on rules for combat bike racing in 2088. It's written by Dave Blewer, and promises to be a pretty awesome supplement!
Here's a sample image to wet your appetite.

Just an update here;
Expect Road Rage,Life in the Fast lane, to be released in the next 24 to 36 hours!
It doesn't have as much art as I would like (VERY slow summer sales-wise), but what there is, is fantastic. _________________ David Jarvis

It's got some pretty cool rules in it for combat racing, creating your own track, 7 jump bikes, new edges, gear, vehicle weapons and defense systems like Mag (magnetic) oil... lot's of stuff. _________________ David Jarvis

| Could be great info to center a campaign around jump bike racing all over the world: some kind of destruction derby à la Rollcage, with high profile races all over the world, huge bidding stakes, corporate sponsorship used to "peacefully" wage wars between megacorps and maybe countries. characters would be somehow associated to a starting team (pilot, mechanic, security, media icon for PR...). Could be real fun. |

I want to do this so bad, it's unreal. I think it'd make for an incredibly fun campaign. Like a sort of gritty Cyberpunk Speed Racer. I just wonder if I could find the players for it. |

The fun thing about this supplement, is that it gives you everything you need (Minus Savage Worlds Deluxe) to run exactly that type of game. It's set in IZ, but it doesn't HAVE to be IZ.
Pretend your Tom Cruise and play a days of thunder game if ya want
You can use it to mimic Death race 2000, or even do something along the lines of Damnation alley. Speed Racer is done quite easily. In fact it was the inspiration for this little E-book. _________________ David Jarvis

Sounds like all I need is the players then. Too bad you can't download those too.  |

| Looks pretty good after an initial read-through. The Jump Bike rules look pretty good. I think they do a good job of making a race feel significant and substantial, but still keeping the rules FFF! I love the inclusion of some sample tracks as well as tables for generating your own random tracks. The edges presented seem imminently suited for running a Jump Bike Racing campaign. Several new Jump bike chassis and lots of gear options. I can't think of single thing that's missing. Good effort all. 5/5! |

| Picked it up an perused it quickly: lots of useful stuff, and not only for Jump Bike games. I can imagine the players customize their A-team van with some of those kewl options, and some of these racing rules can be used for regular chase scenes. The bike art is also beautiful. A+ ! |
