- SYSTEM: Liminal Horror
- PRODUCT TYPE: softcover zine
- RETAIL PRICE: $15
- DESCRIPTION: The PCs are searching the water for the lost ship Ex Inferis. Seven years ago, the deepwater survey ship set off to collect samples from the deepest parts of the lake. The ship never returned. Now, rumors of a demonic ship crewed by ghosts begin to spread across the region. The adventure kicks off when the PCs pick up a distress signal late one night. It’s distorted and mostly unintelligible, vaguely resembling screaming and howling human voices. One phrase slices through: “Liberate me.” Reimagines the cult sci-fi movie Event Horizon (1997) as a modern-day nautical nightmare. One thing the PCs will learn: the Ex Inferis must not make it back to shore. Includes: boatcrawl procedures for navigating a living environment that seeks to separate and isolate the PCs, tables (clues, setbacks, visions, and resonant artifacts), a legion of self-mutilating sailors led by a terrifying captain, and more.

The PCs will need cunning and prowess to confront the ferocious vampire which haunts the Hellpits and any other evil that lurks within the sunken chambers and passages.

Another adventure for four to six first-level characters, in The Alabaster Tower of Thracia the PCs have an old key and a map to a tower located in the ruins of the fabled city of Thracia. The white stone tower is devoid of any windows or doors, but a shimmering blue ripple outlines a door-shaped portal and the PCs’ key comes alight with a similar glow. The PCs have the chance to explore the extra-dimensional interior. Also includes: nine monsters and four player handouts. Grave Robbers of Thracia is a 0-level funnel set near The Caverns of Thracia. The PC peasants have heard tales of emptied graves and deserted villages, portending dire threats to their lives and loved ones. With no one else to rely on, the brave band of PC commoners takes up arms and ventures into the jungle seeking answers. What they find is a hungry menace with a history dating back to before the fall of Thracia but also a lost treasury forgotten by history. The PCs will either save the day and strike it rich or die trying.
