We have a lot of irons in the fire here at Atomic Overmind Press. Here are details on a few upcoming projects.
Adventures into Darkness gets HEROic!
Just in time for Halloween, Kenneth Hite’s Adventures Into Darkness gets yet another incarnation with the eagerly-anticipated HERO System conversion. You’ll be able to match up your HERO System characters with C’thuloid horrors and occult superheroes from the vaults of Nedor Comics, and the fevered writings of H.P Lovecraft’s comics work*. Adventures Into Darkness: HERO System should be available in just a few weeks from both Atomic Overmind Press, and Hero Games. Watch for it!
Not familiar with Adventures Into Darkness? Well, check out the M&M Superlink and Truth & Justice versions on the Atomic Overmind product page!
The Savage Worlds of Kenneth Hite: The Day After Ragnarok
Welcome to the world at the end of the world. The skies are shrouded with burning, oily smoke, the earth groans under a poisoned corpse, and the only way out may be deeper into the belly of the beast.
We’re proud to announce that Atomic Overmind Press is working with Ken Hite on a new project, a Savage Setting for Pinnacle Entertainment Group’s Savage Worlds rule-set. For right now, we’ll just give you the title: The Day After Ragnarok. More information will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
*may contain content that is complete utter balderdash.
We’re proud to annouce that the Atomic Overmind Web Store is now officially up and running, and that means that Tour de Lovercraft: The Tales is now available for order, in both physical and electronic form. Also available are both the M&M Superlink and Truth & Justice versions of Adventures into Darkness in PDF form.
We’ll have some news about some upcoming pubications after the weekend. Be sure to check back on Monday!
Need a bit of H.P. Lovecraft in your Labor Day weekend? Well, if you happen to be attending DragonCon in Altlanta, GA this weekend, be sure to stop by the Adventure Retail booth in the Imperial Ballroom (Exhibitor Hall 1). Tour de Lovecraft: The Tales is available for sale there.
We’re ramping up for Mail Order and Electronic availability for the book, and both should be ready right after Labor Day.
Atomic Overmind Press has entered into an agreement with Ronin Arts to bring Kenneth Hite’s Dubious Shards, and Tarot of Cthulhu: Major Arcana to the public through DriveThruRPG.com.

- Tour de Lovecraft next to Where the Deep Ones Are
Well, we had a few SNAFUs with our printer, but they came through by Friday morning, and Tour de Lovecraft: The Tales; finally made it to Indianapolis. The books looks wonderful, and is now on sale in the Gen Con Exhibit Hall at the Cthuliana Corner, and at Green Ronin Publishing. Ken Hite is roaming the convention as well, so if you pick up a copy, be sure to ask him to autograph it for you.
The book will be available for mail order on Tuesday, and PDF editions of it will be available this coming week through both Drivethrurpg.com and RoninArts.com. More information on that will be posted here as it becomes available.
Atomic Overmind Press proudly announces the publication of Kenneth Hite’s Tour de Lovecraft: the Tales. A wide-ranging and friendly journey through H.P. Lovecraft’s tales of cosmic terror and wonder, the Tour de Lovecraft is the ideal companion to the work of the twentieth century’s greatest American horrorist. The book alternately ambles and careens through all fifty-one of the Master’s horror tales in chronological order from “The Tomb” to “The Haunter of the Dark,” offering cheerful opinion, incisive literary criticism, playful speculation, and the occasional unhinged rant.
“Getting to publish Kenneth Hite’s unique take on the works of an horror-literature icon like H.P. Lovecraft is a real treat,” said Atomic Overmind Press El Jefe Hal Mangold. “His knowledge of the world of H.P. Lovecraft is deep, and his wit is razor sharp. It’s a thoroughly entertaining and informative read.”
“I’m thrilled that Atomic Overmind chose my first foray into literary criticism to be their first release,” said Kenneth Hite. “I’m even more thrilled at how good they made it look, and I hope it’s the first of many from both of us.”
For the company’s first foray into print publishing, Atomic Overmind Press has teamed with noted electronic publisher Ronin Arts. “Kenneth and I have a history of working on projects that dates back to the first Suppressed Transmission,” said Ronin Arts president Phil Reed. “When he and Atomic Overmind Press approached me about working on the new book I didn’t even give them a chance to finish talking before I said yes.”
Tour de Lovecraft: The Tales will be available at two locations in the Gen Con Exhibitor’s Hall: at the Cthuliana Corner (Booth #1621), and at Green Ronin Publishing (Booth #1921), who are graciously granting Atomic Overmind Press booth space.
After GenCon, the book will be available by mail order thought Atomic Overmind Press and Warehouse 23, <www.warehouse23.com>, and in PDF form through both Atomic Overmind Press and Ronin Arts. The book will be available in the hobby and comic trade this Autumn, and in bookstores nationwide this Winter. Plans for e-book and audio versions are also in the works.
The entire press release can be found in PR form here.
