Well I hate the word redundant, but to answer your question honestly, yes. The B61PM is not needed to play or understand B61 at all. It is a companion piece to the core rules the houses all the basic info a player needs for his or her character (skills, character generation, equipment). Its a cheaper alternative then having 2 or 3 copies of the main book to ease character creation, but is totally unnecessary if you already have GORE or a similar BRP book to begin with.

The same will go for the GMsGuide due next year. Its a handy resource with some bonus material, but all the basic game needs is B61 and GORE (or BRP like base game).

So if you are on that much of a budget and dont want to spend the money ($1.25 for PDF and rought $9 for print with shipping) then Id stay away from it.

Sure I want you hard earned money but I also want to be true and honest with fellow gamers.

Thanks PK.

Oh, I am on a RPG budget for sure. I'm a stay-at-home dad with a two-year-old daugther and another daughter due on the 23rd of December.
My first child was born in CA when my wife and both worked and had good insurance. We're in CO now and just my wife working. Our insurance coverage isn't as good, and the second child is going to be costly out-of-pocket.

Hey, oozing cosmic horrors are a dime a dozen, but a detailed campaign setting is hard to find.

Congrats on the family. Perhaps your daughter would like a copy of B61 for Xmas LOL

I am working on a xmas themed short B61 introductory one shot adventure. But if it gets done in time is up for argument.

Holiday update. I will be releasing a Holiday Edition of B61, it will have a generic black cover with just the logo, include the optional character gen methods from the Player's Manual and hopefully a short adventure called "A MERRY BERLIN CHRISTMAS" included.

It will probably be reduced to a $2 PDF and be available for only a week or so.

The main rulebook will be available as a PDF for $1.50 during xmas week.

Berlin '61 Christmas Adventure is up on lulu.

Berlin '61: A Merry Berlin Christmas (Adventure) by CS Barnhart (Book) in Games

Next is straight espionage for the game.

[Trifletraxor]

The first adventure for Berlin '61. Its Christmas time in Berlin and work is never done, especially when a cult is stalking your boss's wife, an evil ornament possesses you and a sprite from the past wants to eat young Joey's soul. Christmas Fun.

Is it a solo adventure? Any other adventures in the planning for us lazy GMs out here?

SGL.

[PK Games]

This is the first adventure, it is not a solo adventure. There are more planned. The next one Im writing is a espionage bonanza, hopefully 30 or so pages. Very little if any mythos related stuff in it.

Another writer is working on a mytho related adventured based around the construction of the berlin wall and another one is working on a sourcebook about Moscow.

As in Mythos related or Cold War related (or both)?
