Exploit Zero: Hostile Takeover

by Patrick Todoroff

EXPLOIT HOSTILE TAKEOVER Brawl in the Sprawl or Full-Blown Corporate War? It's your call. The latest Exploit Zero rule book, Hostile Takeover offers players the opportunity to command their own security forces in a head-to-head corporate war. The core EZ rule book focused on cooperative or solo games. Now, HOSTILE TAKEOVER lets your elite Agents command small, multi-model tactical fire teams of troopers, pods of gun drones, individual specialists, and customized heavy support units. These Agents and Tactical Units form the assault teams you'll deploy across the urban sprawl as you strategize, maneuver, and fight to take control of your rival’s corporate headquarters. An easy to learn, fast play, table top war game for 15-28mm miniatures set in a gritty cyberpunk future.

About the author

My interest in books started when I was nine, the year my baby brother shoved a pretzel down into the back of the television set and my parents didn't get it fixed.

My first novel, "Running Black" was a 'put up or shut up' project during the 2008 recession. The sequel "Shift Tense" rolled out two years later.

Other titles include the cyberpunk/technoir novella, 'Soul Cache'; a Celtic-flavored ghost story, 'The Barrow Lover'; three tales from the Exclusion Zone - 'A Prayer to Saint Strelok', 'Strange Treasure', and 'Gopnik Blues', and a handful of stand-alone near-future shorts.

As a table top war game designer, I've written 'Zona Alfa' and 'When Nightmares Come' for Osprey Wargames, several best selling indie games: 'Exploit Zero', its monster-hunting fantasy cousin, 'Nightwatch', and the alien-invasion 'Insurgent Earth.'

Current projects include the post-apocalyptic fantasy 'Shattered Worlds' duology, and a gritty dungeon crawl series, 'Shiver and Funk."
