Loviatar No. 2; September 2011; $3
The second issue of Loviatar revisits the city of Baldur's Gate. "Number Three Pigeon Street" describes in great detail a ramshackle house that is home to a colorful cast of characters, as well as an attic full of dire bats. The home's owner is a brewer of potions and poisons. He knew he had a knack for the craft when he accidentally poisoned his mother. He wasn't overly sad as she used to make him dress up like a little girl and pose for paintings. Other residents include a rogue assigned to spy on the aforementioned wizard, a pantsless, down on his luck bard, and a drifter of low moral character. The house is thoroughly mapped. Each room and inhabitant is described in great detail, making it quite easy to drop into your campaign. The stat blocks are written for the Pathfinder system.
Next up is an introduction to the fictional city of Santa Fina. Santa Fina, which is located two hours north of San Francisco, has been struck hard by the recession that has ravaged much of California. An increase in drug-related crime and perpetually gloomy weather makes the city a perfect backdrop for a World of Darkness chronicle. The article - "A Lonely Dance on a Cold Northern Shore" - also introduces four Covenants of Kindred who vie for power. This article is the first in a series detailing the vampires who hunt and kill in the city's streets.
Finally, we turn our attention to GURPS. "Eclipse, Lord of the Mountain" introduces a genetically engineered giant. Eclipse has been directed by the enigmatic "Masters" to closely monitor a group of humans. In the coming months more about the Masters and the island of Antissa, where Eclipse and marooned humans live, will be revealed.
Loviatar #2 is a 24 page digest. It has a cardstock cover and is printed in black and white on 24 pound premium paper. This issue offers fan support for Pathfinder, GURPS and Vampire: The Requiem.
