Darkness of the Demimonde Released!

Big News!

Our Kickstarter campaign for Darkness of the Demimonde is complete! With the help of our glorious backers, we created a 37-page, rules-light game of Victorian pulp horror and two sets of Victorian-themed VTT character tokens totaling 14 individual characters and 70 tokens! We also created 12 pre-generated characters (that match the tokens!), three scenarios included in the book, and separate, high-detail scenario maps depicting different areas of London---all designed to help you jump right into the game!

These are all now available at DriveThruRPG!

Reaver Quickstart Print Available!

What's this!?

The Print-on-Demand version of Reaver: Sword & Sorcery RPG Quickstart is now available from DriveThruRPG! Overall, I am very happy with the print version and everything looks as intended. The only thing to expect is that the colors are a bit muted and dark compared to your digital version. This is normal for the "Standard Print" version from DTRPG, and I wanted to keep costs low.

Also, don't forget to check out our ZineQuest offering, Darkness of the Demimonde on Kickstarter--funded and currently chasing stretch goals!

 

Darkness of the Demimonde Kickstarter Update!

Greetings!

We have reached the end of the first week of this project, and what a week! Quite unexpectedly, we funded on the second day, and over the next few days, backers helped us crush the three stretch goals we had planned! Every version of the book will have an additional scenario included in the book and every backer will receive a separate digital pack of twelve pregenerated characters with matching VTT tokens, each with custom art by me. This should be plenty of material to allow you to jump right in and start playing Darkness of the Demimonde!

I mentioned last week that I would be considering adding a few additional stretch goals to improve the product and I've chosen two that won't delay fulfillment nor hinder shipping of the Deluxe Edition.

First, we've again contacted Scott Malthouse who has agreed to pen another adventure! Upon reaching $2,000, we'll add that scenario directly to all versions of the book! You'll have three scenarios in the book, ready to be played!

Second, at $2,500, we have a special improvement to the limited edition print run! We will increase the weight of the cardstock cover from 110# to 130#. This will only affect Deluxe Limited Edition print version of the book, but will make the book more resilient to table wear and give it a nice tactile feel.

Thanks to all of you who have supported the project! If you haven't yet, please do visit the Kickstarter page and see if its for you!

Cheers!

Announcing Darkness of the Demimonde!

What is Darkness of the Demimonde?

Coming to Kickstarter for Zinequest '23, Darkness of the Demimonde is a rules light RPG about vampires and psychics, occultists and investigators, and all things supernatural, set in the Victorian Age. Did you like Penny Dreadful, Hammer Horror, The Alienist, and Sherlock Holmes? That's what we're trying to bring to your table!

Based in Tunnel Goons (by Nate Treme) and The Midnight Chimes (by Scott Malthouse), Darkness of the Demimonde uses a simple 2d6 system with the majority of the rules on three pages. The game will let you play normal human PCs as well as a variety of supernatural characters, like vampires and werewolves.

Look for it in February!
