ZEITGEIST ENP's Weekly Roundup: Halloween Masks, Unusual Firearms, Bees, Crystal Castles, Psi-Tech, ZEITGEIST,

Quite the roundup today! Six articles (two each for 5th Edition, Pathfinder, and WOIN), a new episode of Turn Order: Warped, and an upcoming Kickstarter. 5E fans will find some magical Halloween masks, and some unusual firearms; Pathfinder players can enjoy a village of bees, and an adventure set in a crystal fey castle; and WOINers (I just made that word up) will find the article of psionic equipment and the second part of the ZEITGEIST adventure path a satisfying bite!

​

Two articles for 5th Edition players and GMs can be found over on EN5ider, the 5E Patreon!

• #174. Faces of Hallow's Eve. Magical Halloween masks that impart the wearer with incredible powers, by ENnie Award-winning designer Kiel Chenier. A ghastly, wailing white mask grants the wearer the ability to interact with ghosts on their level. A hag's mask grants you the hag's powers, but now that hag sees through your eyes...and slowly alters you into her perfect vessel. And a stitched together collection of human faces grants you the bloodlust of 'the slasher'...but at a terrible price. Illustrated by Kim Van Deun.
• #173. Keep Your Powder Dry: Unusual Firearms II. This article introduces the barrel chain rifle, elephant gun, harmonica gun, and more, along with seven new weapon properties. By Walk Ciechanowski; illustrated by Sade.

​

Over on TRAILSeeker, the Pathfinder RPG Patreon, fans can find two more articles!

• #124. Beldenwood: The Town of Bees. Charlie Brooks describes a small town near the edge of the Sprit Wood, protected from danger by fields of giant bees. The Beekeeper's Guild is a benevolent force... or is it? This article describes the town of Beldenwood, places of interest, and a handful of adventure hooks. Illustrated by Yihyoung Li.
• #123. Ildywych's Crystal Castle. This fey-themed adventure is set in the village of Summerwine Creek. The tiny castle in the center of the village is filled with puzzles and secrets; can the PCs free the villagers from Fey Prince Ildwych and discover the secret of Summerwine Creek's perpetual festival? By Brandes Stoddard; illustrated by Phil Stone; cartography by Michael McCarthy.

EONS, the official WOIN (What's OLD is NEW) Patreon has a pair of must-have items.

• #77. Psionic Gear. Twenty new psionic items, including grenades, companion stones, crystal masks, mainlines, psionic detonators, perception torcs, psi crowns, psychic cuffs, and much more.
• #76. ZEITGEIST #1: Island at the Axis of the World (Part 2). The critically acclaimed adventure path continues! In this Act, the heroes will open the way for Risur's navy to take down the treacherous duchess by infiltrating Axis Island. Espionage and skullduggery abound!

Tomorrow's the day! On Tuesday, 31st October (Halloween - appropriate for survival horror!) the Xenomorphs: The Fall of Somerset Landing Kickstarter is launching! We'll announce it here on EN World, of course. Xenomorphs is a setting/sourcebook/adventure for sci-fi WOIN games, and comes with the N.E.W. core rulebook for a complete standalone set ready for play in a dystopian future setting. It launches at 5pm UK time (1pm Eastern, 10am Pacific).

Will the Xenomorphs book have any new material, such as careers, exploits, creatures, or equipment? If so, how much is new?

 

[Morrus]

Will the Xenomorphs book have any new material, such as careers, exploits, creatures, or equipment? If so, how much is new?

It's a 60-page book. Detailed more here.

24 pages detail the setting, including new equipment, new creatures (though I have put those creatures on the WRRD), vehicles, ships, info about the United Marine Corps, the Chen Zua Corporation, plot hooks, stuff like that. There's a list of recommended careers from NEW, and a handful of relevant NOW careers printed in the book because it's designed to be used with just the NEW hardcover, along with the human variants (Clones, Belters, Jovians) from Universal Upgrades.

8 pages describe Somerset Landing, a sample terraforming colony.

15 pages is an adventure.

Plus 10 pregenerated characters for the adventure (as it's survival horror, and the likelihood is you won't end the adventure alive).
