Amanda saw this in playtesting and addressed the concern. The PCs are under orders to investigate: AF: Most often I end up throwing out lots of stuff that I thought would be fun, but isn't. Sometimes I learn things that are really surprising - for example, in the first Crush Depth playtest, the...

Flames of Freedom kickstarter. Basically, the approach Colonial Gothic took was supernatural historical horror. FoF had both different mechanics and a very different approach to creating the setting. Historical is not a main focus of FoF; a quote from the kickstarter: "History certainly informs...

I have run a couple of Brad Kerr's adventures using OSE. I really enjoyed them. The ideas were great and the maps were clear. Descriptions easy to follow and I liked the challenges the PCs had to face. Going from the hex crawl in the garden up into the flying castle was a great two-part...
