BlackWyrm Games and Adamant Entertainment are pleased to announce that BlackWyrm has reacquired the ICONS license. The superhero adventure modules Unkindness is available with both ICONS and HERO System write-ups for the same low price of $6.95.

"We're very happy to reestablish the working relationship between our two companies," says Dave Mattingly, president of BlackWyrm. "Adamant has a wonderful reputation in the industry, and ICONS is an amazingly cool system. Being able to publish material for the system is quite a privelege."

The Unkindness adventure presents the players with a challenging new supervillain, the Raven King. This evil being is on a crime spree through the city, stealing and kidnapping. But when it becomes apparent that the situation is not as straightforward as it might seem, a moral dilemma puts the heroes against a difficult choice.

"Now that we can offer this adventure under two great game systems," says Jason Walters of BlackWyrm, "we hope to allow a larger audience the opportunity to face this dangerous villain and the quandary behind it."

Unkindness is written by Michael Satran, the author of Foxbat for President, Pretty Hate Machines, and War of Worldcraft.

If you're coming to GenCon (Indianapolis, August 4 - 8), stop by and see us in booth 533 (with the Game Publishers Association). We'll be debuting Pretty Hate Machines, the HEROicized Unkindness, and the novel An Unforgiving Land; plus we'll be hosting some book signings and running some games and other events.
