The purpose of the adventure is twofold: to enjoy “breaking the door” one-shot scenes, while at the same time being able to follow up them with an overarching plot that offers you a myriad of possibilities for fun. The essence of the game is to have characters die easily, so only the most lucky, clever, and strongest ones can survive in the openly Darwinist environment of <strong><em>The Maze and</em></strong> discover its mysteries. Let your characters perform epic deeds and seek an awesome and legendary last stand. In addition, the adventure is a challenge for the Maze Master, or the MM, because they have to roll everything randomly during the session. In an ever-changing Maze, the adventure leans heavily on improvisation or real careful planning for both players and Maze Masters.

It is a game of balls, estates, sly glances, and turns about the garden. At least on the surface. Underneath this, just as in Austen's own novels, it is a game of social ambition, family obligation and breathtaking, heart-stopping longing. In this game, you <strong>play the type of characters that captured your imagination in Austen's books</strong> - from a wealthy heir who falls in love with the aloof new arrival, to a charming socialite bent on ruining the reputation of their rivals. Exploit your position, connections, and family influence to achieve your desires - all while jealously guarding your good name. We want to bring these expansions to print in one beautiful book, along with <strong>two new expansions</strong> for Good Society –<strong><em> Downstairs at the Abbey, </em></strong>which explores the hidden lives of servants and the trials and tribulations they face, and <strong><em>Emma, Forget Me Not, </em></strong>which turns Good Society into a sprawling story about the rise and fall of fortunes and careers. Like <strong><em>Good Society, An Expanded Acquaintance</em></strong> will be <strong>a 200+ page hardcover book, </strong>filled with thematic material and beautiful art.

They work as short stand-alone adventures, but each module is a kit for creating a memorable interlude in a larger campaign. The village of Thornbriar, which sits at the end of a remote valley and serves the herders whose flocks of sheep roam the overlooking hills. Passing through Thornbriar gives a party the chance to solve the mystery of who — or what — is killing sheep up in the Thornbriar Hills, reconcile the villagers with the eccentrics who live in their midst, and score some cool items that will help them as they pursue adventure in the lands beyond. As they try to solve this cryptozoological puzzle, your party will meet intriguing NPCs such as those that have become our hallmark, including the sheep country equivalent of a cat lady, a band of vegetarian hobgoblins and a hermit cleric who begrudgingly serves the village of Thornbriar. New rules allow your PCs to keep a sheepdog companion and learn to use a wicker basket as a shield.”[/HQ]</p><p></p><p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH]106729[/ATTACH]</p> <p style="text-align: center"></p><p></p><p> <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dragonstabber/worm-witch-the-life-and-death-of-belinda-blood" target="_blank"><strong>Worm Witch: The Life and Death of Belinda Blood</strong></a><strong> by Wind Lothamer</strong></p><p> </p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>END DATE</strong>: Wed, June 12 2019 11:22 AM EDT. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>SYSTEM(S)</strong>: OSR (<strong><em>Old School Essentials</em></strong>) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>PROJECT TYPE</strong>: Sourcebook </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>MOST POPULAR PLEDGE</strong>: $50 + $5 US shipping for a PDF and print of this book and the core rulebook </li> </ul><p>[HQ] “An OSR Game Accessory, our first follow-up to <a href="https://knightowlpublishing.com/product/the-chaos-gods-come-to-meatlandia/" target="_blank"><strong><em>The Chaos Gods Come to Meatlandia</em></strong></a>.

To this end, players take on the role of a supernaturally augmented or impeccably skilled operative with a role in ORPHEUS's eternal mission to protect the world and consolidate its supernatural power in the process. These operatives investigate strange occurrences, navigate dangerous social situations with cunning and finesse, and do battle with forces inconceivable to the unbroken human psyche.

ORPHEUS Operatives must attempt to make sense of the impossible and insulate the “normal” world from factors it is woefully unequipped to handle. Players will infiltrate cults, prevent terror attacks, catalogue mind-shattering metaphysical phenomena, and kill and be killed by creatures that should not be, all the while engaging with a tense and delicately balanced system of resource management that mechanically models the operative’s dwindling internal reserves, the mounting dread of the supernatural, and their luck just plain running out. The book itself will be run 300-400 pages (depending on stretch goals), and will be full-size, full-color, and professionally illustrated. The book will cover the game’s rules, character creation, and setting information.”[/HQ]</p><p> </p><p> <em>If you like what we do here at EN World (the Forums, Columns, News, ENnies, etc) and would like to help support us to bring you MORE please consider supporting our </em><a href="https://www.patreon.com/enworld" target="_blank"><em>Patreon</em></a><em>.

As they try to solve this cryptozoological puzzle, your party will meet intriguing NPCs such as those that have become our hallmark, including the sheep country equivalent of a cat lady, a band of vegetarian hobgoblins and a hermit cleric who begrudgingly serves the village of Thornbriar.

Players will infiltrate cults, prevent terror attacks, catalogue mind-shattering metaphysical phenomena, and kill and be killed by creatures that should not be, all the while engaging with a tense and delicately balanced system of resource management that mechanically models the operative’s dwindling internal reserves, the mounting dread of the supernatural, and their luck just plain running out. The book itself will be run 300-400 pages (depending on stretch goals), and will be full-size, full-color, and professionally illustrated.
