Clandestine Societies is on DrivethruRPG

 

Okay so I tried something a bit different with this release. I put it up on my Kofi page first, then I put it on my itch io page a week later. This has resulted in, checks notes, zero sales. So now it's time to put it up on DrivethruRPG and see what happens. 

So head on over there and check out Clandestine Societies Issue Two. It's a small collection of supernatural, horror and occult articles. Mostly system agnostic, but when mechanics are supplied it's done using the WaRP OGL from Atlas Games.  Hey it's only a buck so check it out if you don't mind.

Hopefully I'll have issue three ready to go here in a two to three months. I know I've got plenty of material to dig through to fill it up with. 

Aesop's Treasury

Aesop's Treasury Books and Games. Located in Farmington, Missouri. 

This is my place of employment. While I'm not in the video my boss is. The location they are filming at will no longer be our stores home after January 14th. We'll be moving to a location with better optics for getting seen, larger retail and game areas and just an overall better building to be in.

Boasting the largest selection of new TTRPGs in the state of Missouri. A healthy Warhammer 40k community that is leaning more and more into hosting regional events. Very casual Magic the Gathering crowd. Large selection of new boardgames. And much more.

Vince is the owner and a long time friend. He even officiated my wedding when Katie and I tied the knot. After I mostly recovered from Covid and my stint on a ventilator I found myself unable to return to factory work which I had done for 18 years. Vince needed a new employee to replace one who was leaving on good terms. So he gave me a chance. After three years I'm still there, at the register and helping schedule and run the Magic the Gathering events. We really do try to put the friendly in friendly local game shop.

You can find the store on Facebook.

You can find information on the website as well.

If you're ever in the area just passing through, please stop by and say hello. 

Horror Gaming - Creepy Kids

 

How about a horror six pack just for Christmas? Yes I think that would be absolutely perfect. 

Here are six things that children are doing that is creepy as hell. Perfect for some unnerving events in your games. 

1 – Small child who can barely speaks who points to random people and says “I know when you are going to die.” and then states a specific date.

2 – Draws very different and unique monsters in a rapid scribble fashion. Then tells people these are the things he sees looking around the corners at him.

3 – Singing and dancing in a circle to ‘Ring Around The Rosey’ louder and more angrier every time until the child in the center falls to their knees screaming and bawling their eyes out.

4 – Points to a display of missing children posters and calmly says “I’ll be there one day when people notice I’m gone”.

5 – Runs up and licks random people then smiles and tells them their blood type. Is correct every single time.

6 – Looks at the somebody and frowns deeply. Then says in a deeper then normal voice “You won’t be so pretty when your eyes and mouth are sewn shut”.

Please check out Clandestine Societies Issue One and some of my other products over on my storefront on DrivethruRPG.

Roll A D10 - Cyberpunk Jewelry

 

Fashion accessories will never go away, but they will change. What could we see in the cyberpunk future in this area. Well here's a list of ten possibilities. 

Jewelry you would see.

1 – Custom made titanium dog tags with glowing letters and numbers.

2 – Bracelets made from gold plated motherboards and copper wiring. Sort of a circuitry filigree.

3 – Earrings that are also micro drives for quick data storage that people won’t notice.

4 – Lockets that only open with the proper person places their thumb on the lid.

5 – Clear tube wearables that glow and have multicolored liquid flowing through them.

6 – Metal rings that are able to expand or shrink slightly to fit different sized fingers.

7 – Pendants and earrings that display holographic corporate logos.

8 – Veils made of microthin webbing that distorts a persons features on security cameras.

9 – Mood Choker, normally a centimeter wide and black but changes color based off the wearers mood.

10 – Lips rings that cast a light into the wearers mouth making it light up when they speak.

That Blog Over There - The Other Side

 

That time of the week again, time to shine a light onto another blog out there that is plugging away. 

This time it's the work of  Timothy S. Brannen and his blog The Other Side. This one is heavy into the Old School style of gaming with plenty of detailed articles to dig through. Along with a list of regular features to help make finding things a bit easier. 

Take a look at what he has to offer and let him know you're checking out his stuff.

Know of any blogs I should check out or add to the blog roll at the bottom of my page here? Well the one that's visible to desktop users, not so much to phone folks. Drop me a link in my comments and I'll give them a gander. 

Six Pack - Magic Anvils

 

How about a six pack of magical anvils that you could slip into your fantasy games? Sound good? Well here are six quick descriptions for you to look over. 

1 – Memories of Masters. While using the anvil you are filled with the skills of those who have used the anvil before. Giving you a hefty bonus to any roll for crafting objects on it.

2 – Heat Saver. When objects are being hammered on this anvil they don’t cool as fast as normal, giving you more time to shape and bend them.

3 – Thick Skin. Those who work on this anvil on a semi regular basis find their skin becoming tougher and harder to hurt. Giving it a low level armor rating and resistance to burns.

4 – Patron of Protection. Armor crafted on this anvil have an increased level of protection. Supposedly from being blessed by a Saint at some point in it’s life.

5 – Chains of Binding. This anvil is specially made and constructed for the making of chains. Those made on it are nearly impossible to break, or to escape from if bound by them.

6 – Hammering Passion. While using this anvil those who see you crafting become attracted to you. A feeling which can last for days.
