Special Thanks To:
Bethany, Brandon A., Brandon D., and Thomas. And of course, Ricky, without whom this book would not have
been the same. Thanks also to my play-testers, Brandon, Jason, Paul, and Derek.
– Taylor White, 2015
The cover,
by
Charles Walton II,
depicts a NEMA Chromium Guardsman valiantly trying to hold back a zombie swarm.
Earth’s defenders, the courageous men and women of NEMA face wave after wave of madness and monsters, many of which go
down in the annals of history as
Demon Plagues.
This sourcebook details one such Demon Plague, a time in the very early days of the
Great Cataclysm in which the dead rise to stalk the living. A menace that, unless stopped quickly, threatens to spread across all of North
America.
