Hey friends!

Our pal Tom Cartos, the guy who made the maps for the Horror RPG, has just launched his own Kickstarter featuring a book of modern maps. These not only offer you physical maps to use with the Horror RPG, but you can use them for, well... practically anything.

Check out the images:



TC Modern is a collection of fully customisable Battlemap Books for your favourite Modern, Near Future or Cyberpunk TTRPG. The Modern City series comprises of City Streets & City Buildings, providing you with every location you could need for an urban setting.

The battlemaps come in two variations, a fully-furnished highly-detailed version with props and assets already placed for an extra level of immersion and story telling, and a second unfurnished version for you to customise however you need with the included re-usable asset stickers or your trusty dry-erase marker.

One quick update
about 1 year ago – Wed, Feb 19, 2025 at 12:24:13 PM

Hey friends,

I'm just giving an update to keep you in the loop. Not much has changed since the last one since all I'm really waiting on is CYST to get done printing. I'm checking out the final copy next week at GAMA (the owner of the printing company is bringing it) and then will give the green light. From there, it's just a quick print and ship to us. The only other odds and ends are printed here in the US, so those will be finished at the same time.

Here are all the other goodies, patiently waiting for CYST to finalize.



Some of you have asked about Xanthophobia. Fear not (or do fear), as it will be the best thing I've ever written.

Or worst. 

You be the judge.

But I hope to use it to explore some of my feelings about the things going on in the world, along with a big healthy injection of Lynchian absurdity.

Oo la la... what do we have here?

I got them to send the prototype just before they went on vacation. The tailband and end pages will be different colors and there's supposed to be spot UV gloss on the words, but otherwise it's what we've been waiting for.

Once they get back next week, I'm going to pull the trigger on this and get them printing it.

Thanks for your patience and feedback!

Can You See Them is printing.

Hey friends,

Just a quick update. CYST is printing. Arcade should be out soon in PDF format, too, then it's off to the printers, too. The rest of the stuff—other books, pins, dice, etc.—is already here. Just waiting on the new hardcover.

Then I'm going to spend some time focusing on Xanthophobia. As noted when it was sold, it'll go after the rest of the stuff. I want it to be my magnum opus; I want to basically lock myself in a cabin Misery style and write it until Kathy Bates kidnaps me and hobbles my ankles.

Also, I have an itch to write another quickie horror thing this month. I'll send it out free as a way to say, "Hey, thanks for being patient."

Any kind of horror story in particular you're interested in? Horror is a big genre, where it's got everything from Terrifier to The Substance to The Witch to Midsommar. 

Let me know.

Peace!

Can You See Them? New Ending PDF Released
over 1 year ago – Thu, Oct 24, 2024 at 05:07:54 PM

Hey all!

After a year of ups and downs I've finally got a release for you: Can You See Them with the altered ending. This extends the original book by about 20 pages and includes a new "more heroic" ending for the Can You See Them? horror scenario. 

Thanks all for your feedback on this. And sorry it took so long. However, if I've learned one thing from this campaign, sometimes "perfect" is better than "fast." And while I can't brag it's perfect, I can at least say it's something I spent a good deal of time working on.

You can expect the rest of the content hopefully this week. In the meantime, you've got the full Can You See Them? Horror RPG scenario to run for Halloween.

Talk to you soon!
