Keith Baker, the creator of Eberron for Dungeons & Dragons, and Jenn Ellis have teamed up to design a new, ecto-punk setting titled Eidolon: The Ghost Market.

“In 2004 I created the campaign setting of Eberron for Dungeons & Dragons. Now my company Twogether Studios is working on a number of new settings for different systems. Eidolon is the first of these: a gothic city in which technology is based on bound ghosts. It’s Sweeney Todd, Dracula and Neuromancer bound together, where you seek to bring hope or pursue vengeance in a place where the coaches are pulled by poltergeists and your haunted gun fires despair. Eidolon is a source book initially designed for the Daggerheart system. It includes everything you need to set a story in this haunted city, including lore, character options, maps, adversaries, two campaign frames, a full adventure and more,” writes Keith Baker.

Welcome to Eidolon: A Visitors Guide beckons you to a gothic city powered by ghosts and is now available to download on DriveThruRPG. “It provides a rosy view of this grim place, but this copy has been passed around and two adventurers have added their own insights and advice,” writes Baker.

Of course, every Storyteller and player knows that all vampires lie. Sometimes, even to themselves. To pass away the long nights, Kindred plots and schemes take decades–not days or weeks–to enact regardless of the zeitgeist. Within this schema, so many vampires don masks–whether they’re part of the Masquerade or not–to participate in their society, but also to comfortably secure the Beast within from night to night…until they can’t any longer.

This dichotomy creates a push-pull relationship between what was (vampiric lore and history), what is (modern nights), and the Noddist threat of what will be (Gehenna). Combined, this creates a deep and broad worldbuilding methodology where vampires, regardless of clan or sect, are embedded among mortals so deeply that their enmeshed existence is believable and actionable.

The trick, during any chronicle, is to balance that worldbuilding against a coterie’s activities from night to night. Vampire: The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition is less about feeding, and more about controlling your Beast to maintain your Humanity. During a V20 chronicle, the act of feeding quickly dulls and becomes repetitive after a while–unless you are starving, trapped, or desperate. In the gaps of ennui, the deep lore and ritualistic protocols create intrigue, mystery, and a reason for you and your coterie to “live”… Not just to survive.

Vampire has always interested me, because its nature accommodates different styles of play. When I was working on V20: Dread Names, Red List, I devised the Council of Scales, because it makes sense that Kindred history would be as messy, if not mysterious, as human history is. Critias was the perfect choice to champion this group, too. The endless bickering over what the Traditions mean or don’t mean; the roles of the Justicar and the Alastor; the question of how to keep other monsters in line… There are so many thematic questions in a Red List chronicle to explore–without getting bogged down in philosophy, politics, or lore. Any chronicle that involves the Red List, from any vantage point, is bound to be more active, more thrilling, and a lot more deadly than what players might be used to.

The Masquerade does create the illusion of “human” decency, but that doesn’t mean that vampires can or do “pass” in modern nights without help. This is the reason why V20: Ghouls & Revenants was designed as a toolkit regardless of your preferred sect. Historically, it’s proved easier to play a monster than interact with or play a character who is monster-adjacent. Both ghouls and the revenant families are tools or possessions to a vampire–mystically claimed by the Blood–and are crucial to their survival. Despite this, there is lore within this subculture as well–through the revenant families.

The idea that humans can peer into the dark is partly what formed World of Darkness: Ghost Hunters. This supplement, however, isn’t about being a monster–it’s about a group of mortals hunting for the supernatural, never knowing what (if anything) they’ll find–which includes vampires! If V20 is told from a monster’s perspective, then WoD: Ghost Hunters is a chronicle narrated from a mortal’s point-of-view. Now, with the script flipped, mortals can be terrified, hurt, murdered–even Embraced.

I’ve thought about revisiting the World of Darkness 20th Anniversary Edition many times because I have no shortage of ideas to create a comprehensive experience that balances action and investigation with clan-and-sect politics, lore, and intrigue. Who knows what’s in store for my long, winter nights?

In the meantime, you’ve got plenty of options to explore the World of Darkness, too, well beyond the trio of titles I mentioned!

What about you? What do you love about the World of Darkness?

Lynnvander Studios Announces Munchkin® 5.5E RPG, the Official Tabletop Roleplaying Game Based on the Iconic Munchkin Card Game
Officially licensed by Steve Jackson Games, Munchkin® 5.5E RPG brings the humor, monsters, and outrageous treasure of the beloved card game to a full 5E-compatible roleplaying experience.
Lynnvander Studios has announced Munchkin® 5.5E RPG, an officially licensed tabletop roleplaying game created in partnership with Steve Jackson Games.

“We want to give you every humorous absurdity you’ve ever experienced during a game, a reason to play it over and over again. Not only will the mechanics reflect the humor of Munchkin®, we’re designing it in a way that it is not only for Munchkin® themes in a vacuum but can be ported into any other campaign setting.” Tommy Gofton – Lynnvander Studios

Built for 5.5E-compatible play, the game expands the world of Munchkin® into a full roleplaying experience where kicking down doors, collecting ridiculous treasure, and making hilariously bad decisions are all part of the adventure.

Inspired by the bestselling Munchkin® card game, Munchkin® 5.5E RPG captures the same fast-paced humor and chaotic competition that has entertained players for more than two decades. Instead of noble heroes destined to save the world, players become greedy adventurers racing to gather loot, defeat absurd monsters, and occasionally turn on one another when the treasure is too good to share.

The game features:
• An officially licensed tabletop roleplaying game set in the world of Munchkin®
• 5.5E-compatible gameplay that embraces the humor and chaos of the original card game
• Familiar Munchkin® races, classes, monsters, treasures, and iconic jokes
• Adventures filled with outrageous loot, ridiculous encounters, and delightfully questionable teamwork
• A lighthearted fantasy experience where greed is encouraged, and the worst ideas often make the best stories

A Munchkin TTRPG BackerKit will launch October 2026. This gives fans an opportunity to help bring the project to life while securing their copy ahead of retail availability.

Longtime Munchkin® fans won’t need to be RPG players to take part. The campaign will also introduce exclusive Munchkin® merchandise and collectibles available to fans interested in the wider world of Munchkin® beyond the new roleplaying game.

Here are eight recommendations penned by a variety of wonderful writers that are both affordable and great how-to guides to build your reference library!

1. KOBOLD Guide to Worldbuilding: Roleplaying games and fantasy fiction are filled with rich and fascinating worlds: the Forgotten Realms, Glorantha, Narnia, R’lyeh, Middle-Earth, Barsoom, and so many more. Learn the secrets of designing a pantheon, creating a setting that provokes conflict, determining which historical details are necessary, and so much more.

Whether you’re writing or rewriting, editing a manuscript or dismantling your favorite television episode, Beating the Story helps you understand how stories get hammered into shape.

3. KOBOLD Guide to Monsters: Classic monsters can get stale, and Game Masters often need to generate their own monstrosities to properly challenge players. But conceptualizing, creating, and using monsters is no easy feat for any Game Master—and that’s where this book comes in. In these pages, 15 of the brightest stars in the gaming industry share their wisdom for conceptualizing, developing, and maximizing the “Wow!” factor of monsters.

6. Capturing Ghosts On The Page: Writing Horror & Dark Fiction: “Don’t write merely to shock. People are used to shock-horror. You need to get beneath the skin. Use a flensing knife and keep it sharp. It’s good to shock, but only as part of the story you tell.” Shirley Jackson Award-winning writer, Kaaron Warren explores the craft and philosophy of trapping dark and disturbing fiction on the page. Drawn from essays, workshops, and articles about the craft and business of writing, Capturing Ghosts On The Page features Warren’s tips on writing ghost stories, overcoming professional jealousy, working to an anthology brief, tapping your dreams for inspiration, and more.

7. You Are Not Your Writing & Other Sage Advice: In these essays, Angela Slatter—the World Fantasy Award-winning author of the Sourdough Stories, the Verity Fassbinder Series, and more—explores the relationship between the writer, their work, and the publishing industry they inhabit. Drawn from twelve years of author presentations, keynote speeches, blog posts, and articles aimed at aspiring and established professionals, You Are Not Your Writing features Slatter’s best advice on managing social media, understanding the role awards play in your developing career, the hierarchy of rejection, and strategically building your career and network of other writers.

8. Writing Fantasy and Science Fiction: Although the problems of writing fantasy and science fiction include all those pertaining to the writing of any kind of fiction, particular problems arise in stories in which unprecedented things can and do happen, as well as stories that often involve inhuman characters of various sorts, and that might require the elaborate design of entire imaginary worlds. This book provides strategies to help you write compelling science fiction and fantasy stories.

Fan favorite musical group Midnight Syndicate recently released a new folk horror-inspired album titled Plankett’s Grove. Available to download, stream, and listen for free on YouTube, the 18-track album is a return to Midnight Syndicate’s thematic roots.

One of the reasons why Midnight Syndicate has always stood apart from other, atmospheric bands is that their compositions include a variety of soundscapes to underline a specific theme or mood. Plankett’s Grove is a 53-minute album filled with lush sound effects that evoke different experiences in folk horror. The album opens with a cinematic-inspired track called “Welcome to Illswich”, replete with the haunting sound of muddy footprints in the rain, that sets the tone for the entire album. Other tracks that stood out to me include:

• “Echoes of the Past” – evokes a vintage folk horror feel with theatrical overtones, choral highlights, and cinematic crescendos

• “Bleak Provenance” – draws on a solo pianist that expands and contracts to orchestral heights

• “The Woods Are Watching” – underlines the experience of hiking alone in a dark forest with sounds of creaking wood, strange birds, rustling leaves, and chords that mimic a listener’s (or viewer’s) anxiety

• “Hidden Grotto” – beckons the listener to a ancient stone grotto swallowed by the forest. Frogs croak, birds chirp, and a natural spring gurgles in an odd but welcoming setting, then unsettles the listener with a vibrating bass, unfriendly hounds, and eerie voices. Easily one of my favorite tracks that highlights Midnight Syndicate’s ability to tell a story using sound.

• “Shanty in the Pines” – describes a true, folk horror experience using off-key bells and percussion instruments in sharp contrast to orchestral whispers and unsettling scratches.

Fantastic for anyone seeking a compilation of expertly-produced horror music, each track offers a unique experience described by its title. From a hunt in the forest (“Primal Instinct) to audio homages to Lovecraft and Poe (“Lenore’s Curiosities”) this album touches on several experiences in folk horror while adding something new. Listeners can expect a spooky, atmospheric mix of cinematic orchestral melodies complemented by organic soundscapes filled with croaking frogs, cawing crows, and pouring rain, choral overtones, drums, and flutes.

Trailblazing dark symphonic composers Midnight Syndicate have officially released their new studio album, Plankett’s Grove, available now on physical media and all major streaming platforms.

“Our last full-length release was inspired by a themed 19th-century European nightclub, so we thought we’d take things in the opposite direction for this one and set it in a world that is far more rural and secluded,” said Gavin Goszka.

“We asked our fan community, Legions of the Night, where they’d like to see us go next, and that definitely helped make the decision. Folk horror is a treasure trove of creative inspiration with so many directions you can go,” added Douglas. “It made exploring this new section of the Midnight Syndicate world both rewarding and exciting.”

Celebrated as foundational audio architects of the haunt, Halloween, and tabletop gaming industries, duo Edward Douglas and Gavin Goszka return with an 18-track immersive orchestral work designed to transport listeners into a shadowy realm of gothic mystery and dark fantasy. Building on nearly three decades of pioneering “soundtracks to imaginary films,” Plankett’s Grove delivers the signature blend of orchestral composition, haunting melodies, and immersive sound design that has defined the group’s legacy. Tracks include “Lenore’s Curiosities”, “Eternal Horsemen”, and “What the Dark Retains”.

“Plankett’s Grove is set near the town of Illswich. Rather than making the town abandoned, where the listener’s task would be to uncover the mysteries of what once was, we decided it might be interesting to keep this location very much active and alive, although not without its own share of dark secrets,” said Goszka.

When Midnight Syndicate emerged in the late 1990s, Halloween music was largely limited to novelty pop tracks, basic sound-effects tapes, hard-to-find movie soundtracks, or vocal-driven darkwave. Douglas and Goszka broke new ground by blending full-scale cinematic orchestration with immersive ambient soundscapes—offering a level of production quality previously unheard in the niche genre. This distinct instrumental approach quickly established Midnight Syndicate as the premier music supplier for the professional haunted attraction, amusement park, and Halloween retail industries, while simultaneously filling a crucial void for board and tabletop role-playing gamers seeking pure atmospheric soundtracks for their sessions.

Listen to or purchase Plankett’s Grove by visiting the official Midnight Syndicate website.

In churches and convents and other religious communities, sisterhood takes many forms, forged and tested by such mundane threats as disease and despair, but also by terrors both spiritual and existential—Satan’s subtle minions and the cosmic nightmare of the Cthulhu Mythos.

Their settings range around the globe and across the centuries, from 6th century Ireland to 17th century Virginia to Indonesia in the recent past. This book is now available as an audiobook.

The first expansion for D&D under the new Universes Beyond banner is D&D: World of Warcraft, coming November 17, 2026, to anchor the Season of Champions as a book and in VTT. With this book, created in tandem with Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., Warcraft returns to the tabletop for the first time in two decades. This Gameplay Expansion invites players to “roll for Azeroth” as they recreate their World of Warcraft main character or roll a new alt and explore beloved zones, delve through familiar dungeons, and face legendary foes from over 20 years of history for the World of Warcraft franchise. D&D: World of Warcraft will also include iconic dungeons adapted from the game for Dungeons & Dragons.

“World of Warcraft and Dungeons & Dragons are both built on a powerful idea: give players a world full of possibility, then let them make the story their own,” said Holly Longdale, Executive Producer and Vice President, World of Warcraft at Blizzard Entertainment. “Azeroth has always meant something different to everyone who steps into it, whether it’s built upon the heroes they become, the friends they find, or the choices they make along the way. Bringing World of Warcraft to the D&D table is a chance for players to carry that spirit forward in a whole new way: your character, your party, your story.”

Additionally, fans can relive one of Azeroth’s most legendary raids with the Icecrown Citadel Map Pack. The Map Pack includes full-size poster maps and tokens usable with an included digital adventure that brings characters from level 16 to level 20 as they challenge a dozen high-level bosses—or perish trying.

Dark Sun Returns

Players looking for a more mature and brutal D&D setting got an answer at Gen Con as well! Coming in 2027 is a suite of new products for Dark Sun, the cult-classic, post-apocalyptic setting. Anchoring the Season of Survival, the Dark Sun books and accessories invite players to face off against tyrannical sorcerer-kings and survive the blood-soaked wastes of Athas.

D&D Icons Revives Greyhawk, Dragonlance, and More!

Helmed by writer, producer, and actor Joe Manganiello, D&D Icons is a new creative initiative. that includes Manganiello’s Death Saves original setting while championing the game’s original stewards. Currently, four projects were announced. They include:

Dragonlance: Bringing back its original creators to direct a Dragonlance TTRPG product for the first time in over 20 years, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are working hand-in-hand. The new Dragonlance TTRPG book compiles 40 years of knowledge and lore into the most ambitious Dragonlance volume ever.

The Legend of Drizzt: RA Salvatore, whose books appeared more than 20 times on the New York Times bestseller list, announced that he will be working under the Icons program to bring back the most legendary Drow in the Forgotten Realms, Drizzt Do Urden.

Greyhawk: Also under the Icons banner, Luke Gygax took the Gen Con stage to announce a new project built from never-before-seen, unfinished content left behind by his father and original D&D creator Gary Gygax. Luke will complete an adventure through his father’s eyes, tying back to Gary Gygax’s own vision, planned for 2027.

Death Saves: Manganiello is launching a TTRPG world rooted in the dark fantasy art style and aesthetic he developed for his heavy metal-slash-fantasy streetwear line, DEATH SAVES, as an official D&D collaboration under the Icons banner.

Other Announcements

The night was jam-packed with additional updates and announcements that include a brand new mobile experience for D&D Beyond, updates across D&D’s digital and video game platforms, and new partnerships with Ghostfire Gaming, Visionary Productions, and Kobold Press. Also in 2027, Greyhawk soars with the debut of Greyhawk: Crown of the Witch Queen; the brand-new adventure where players will decide Greyhawk’s fate amid the return and ascent of Drelnza, the vampire daughter of Iggwilv the Witch Queen—perhaps better known as Tasha—as she seeks to claim her birthright.

Combined, this list of major updates and releases forge an exciting future for new and existing D&D fans to play together. The night was capped off by a surprise reveal that Star Wars will fly into D&D in 2027.

Home: House of Broken Promises is a two-player map building game offered sealed in a box of cards. Condensed rules are printed on the front and back of two cards, and a QR code is printed on the back, linking to a free rule set.

To start the game, you choose from one of two Archetypes: The Best Friend and The Left Behind, answer three questions, and choose from one of two Needs on the card to help distinguish your character.

The rules proceed through set-up for Wound cards, X-card safety mechanic, and the additional Need cards. (This was designed by John Stavropoulos in 2013, and is broadly used in TTRPGs today.)

The broad selection of Needs, three options printed on each card, offers nuanced play. For example, I found this Need compelling: “You find something that makes you physically ache to pursue your Need.”

Following this, three random Outside and Midnight cards are removed from this game. I can only assume the reason behind the discard, is because these cards are intended for use with Home. The last thing you need to set up the game is to grab paper and pencils for your map.

I was surprised when I read that instruction, because I had assumed the cards themselves would build the map. Turns out, this is a hybrid game that’s part-RPG and part-bespoke map building. On your turn, you take on the role of Director and describe the scene. In the condensed rules, I’m not sure who goes first, how many cards are drawn, or when I’m supposed to draw a room. I booted up DriveThru and downloaded the free rules to help me better understand how to play the game. Turns out, you draw the rooms when you flip over a card that says “Establish a new Room.” Per the condensed rules, you can draw a room at any time, however. This is a bit confusing to me, because “draw room” not listed in the Turn Order (pg. 15).

The Haunted House is structured neatly into different zones that are entered at unique times. First, you’re preparing to explore Outside of the sprawling mansion. Here, with a Transition card, you receive a theme: anticipation and mystery. From there, you play through three rounds (three cards) before you declare you’ll “pass the scene” to the next player.

Then, at Dusk, you’ll enter the mansion and draw your first room. As the clock ticks, you build your narrative with your fellow player. Together, you’ll draw more cards that have detailed instructions (drawing rooms, Needs, and Wounds) and questions until the game ends at dawn.

What I like about this game is that it’s designed with is a cross between a map building game and an RPG. (Experienced players could play this game without ever drawing a single map.) Pacing is going to be a challenge, because in a two-player game recommending that the next player draws their card to prepare affects the other player’s ability to narrate what’s happening–which also impacts the mood.

To hold tension and dread, especially between two players, clearer instructions in the round would be helpful. For example, I would make it clear that each card (minus the Transition cards read as a group) represent a round of play. So, at the beginning of a round, both players draw their cards face down. Then, switch the turn order in each round, so the same person isn’t kicking off the scene every time.

It’s explained in Home’s rulebook that players might split up, but can refuse exploration in a scene. (I’m not sure how many players the game was designed for, and can’t find that information.) That said, I can tell that the game was initially designed for a larger group, because when you condense the rules for two players some aspects of the flow are affected. Gameplay is always faster with two people. To accommodate the flow, there’s approximately twenty cards (fifteen individual and five group turns) that map out the House of Broken Promises.

Unlike other RPGs, where the game’s narrative mushrooms and sidequests blossom, Home: The Haunted House has a tight narrative with sharp transitions, phases, and endings. There is no possible way for zombie squirrels to invade and derail this game.

In summary, Home: The Haunted House Map Building RPG is a clever design and well-paced narrative tool to explore a haunted house with no GMs, no dice, and minimal set-up. The game’s art is thematically-appropriate, the card text is clear, and each phase in the game possesses a spooky theme. (Yes, I love the font!)

Who would like this? This is a great, well-packaged game for players who have never tried an RPG before, because it doesn’t “feel” like a traditional, pen-and-paper TTRPG. It also has a ton of appeal for veteran players, too, for GMs who never get a chance to play, for players who struggle investing in a horror game, and for storytellers of all stripes. This, in short, is the beauty of Home: The Haunted House. Once you understand how the story, cards, and rooms, flow, it has the potential to spook almost anyone.

Home: The Haunted House Map Building RPG was offered as a free, sealed deck of cards for Free RPG Day 2026. You can download the rules to play Home (and House of Broken Promises) for free. You can also download print and play Home today.

Pelgrane Press has announced Merryshire Detective Club, a cozy fantasy investigative tabletop RPG powered by the award-winning GUMSHOE system. The crowdfunding campaign launches on BackerKit on July 21, 2026, at 10:00 AM PDT.

Designed by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan, Merryshire Detective Club invites players into the peaceful villages of Merryshire, where amateur detectives solve mysteries involving suspicious neighbours, awkward family feuds, questionable inheritances, eccentric local traditions, and the occasional murder.

Set in the idyllic countryside of the Riding, the game blends cozy fantasy, classic detective fiction, folkloric weirdness, and collaborative storytelling into a long-form mystery campaign experience centered on community and recurring characters.

“In a hole in the ground, they found a body…” begins the game’s campaign copy, setting thetone for a world where tea, gossip, nosiness, and clever deduction matter far more than combat.

Players create halflings, dwarves, pooka, or boggarts, each bringing their own distinctive abilities and perspectives to investigations. During character creation, the group collaboratively builds a shared village map filled with homes, landmarks, neighbours, rivalries, and local scandals. Over the course of a campaign, the village evolves into a living record of the group’s adventures.

Powered by the GUMSHOE investigative RPG system, Merryshire Detective Club focuses on uncovering clues, interpreting evidence, and piecing together mysteries through roleplaying and deduction rather than failed dice rolls or combat encounters.

The core book will include:

– the complete GUMSHOE investigative system
– collaborative village creation tools
– richly illustrated setting material
– mystery design guidance
– ready-to-play mysteries
– campaign resources and player aids

Merryshire Detective Club continues Pelgrane Press’ tradition of investigative roleplaying games, joining acclaimed titles such as Trail of Cthulhu, Night’s Black Agents, The Yellow King RPG, TimeWatch, and Swords of the Serpentine.

The BackerKit campaign launches July 21, 2026, at 10:00 AM PDT.

I reviewed several tarot decks and even a couple of oracle decks so far, but I found myself struggling to write about the Deviant Moon Tarot designed and illustrated by artist Patrick Valenza, because I didn’t want to pen a typical review. I picked up the Deviant Moon Tarot: Borderless Edition as a gift to myself for my birthday, and was drawn deeper into Valenza’s process when I read the guidebook (pgs 6 and 7) about how this deck took three years to produce and his description of his artistic process.

Valenza said that: “My character stylization was influenced by ancient Greek art, yet I added a slightly abstracted twist. I chose to draw the figures in a flat, playing card style, rendering them with heavy light and shadows, then placing them in a shallow background. As I worked, different styles emerged, and before long the characters evolved into the moon-faced beings see in the cards.” This detail stood out to me, because his description reads as if he’s an artist peering at his younger self with loving care.

Knowing how much work Valenza put into this deck caused me to realize that I wasn’t just drawn to the art on the cards, I was drawn to learning more about him as an artist. So, I picked up the full-color, hardcover Deviant Moon Tarot Book as a companion to the tarot deck, and I’m really glad I did. The hardcover book sits at the intersection of a Taschen art book and an esoteric grimoire, and is one I highly recommend even if you don’t get the deck. In an era where a polished version is spat out of a vending machine due to genAI, this style of art book-slash-tarot guide is an authentic representation of the journey Valenza followed to draw on his imagination, interests, and personal experiences to create his signature style.

After reading the guidebook, I started with one-to-three card readings to become more familiar with my deck and the card’s meanings. Unlike other tarot decks, where the court cards tend to get a little muddled, the Deviant Moon Tarot is more balanced and, in some cases, more direct, because it takes each suit and transforms them into families or clans. For example, the suit of swords is portrayed as: “The family of swords is a powerful clan, yet its members are troubled with conflict. In spite of their problems, they persevere through strength and fortitude.” This type of storytelling helps the cards emerge as stronger symbols that expand past traditional Rider-Waite-Smith portrayals to form a customized experience unique to this deck without alienating tarot enthusiasts.

The print quality of the cards is gorgeous, and each tarot card is a miniature work of art. The back of the cards are the same if you shuffle them in the upright or reverse position, and both sets of meanings are included in the enclosed guidebook and in the hardcover companion. Offering stylized figures, the deck leans into the lunar theme with both the art and the “Lunatic Spread,” a self-guided tarot card spread of cards laid out in a circle, the shape of the moon.

My only complaint about the Deviant Moon Tarot, is that I really want a premium edition of this deck so I can keep one as a collectible with a more elaborate card box and gilded foil edges while using the other. The deck box is, unfortunately, already starting to wear. Even so, trying to protect the deck is proving to be a challenge. The tarot card sleeves I bought are just a little too short for the cards. If you are anything like me and want to protect and use this deck, as printed, know that 67mm x 130mm cards are considered oversized and require a different sleeve that’s hard to find.

Do I think this type of deck is good for beginners? Actually? Yes, yes I do. This deck is the reason why so many of us are drawn to tarot in the first place. Not only has the artist spent a great deal of time and attention developing each card, the meanings and symbolism depict an interesting caricature that tells a story in Valenza’s fantasy world. As one of my favorite tarot decks in my collection, I give this deck five stars despite the issues that I have with its wear-and-tear.

Did you participate in Free RPG this year? I did! We went to a local game store to have fun with a friend. I’m so glad I did! I wanted to pick up some game accessories and solo journaling games I can play, because I’m seeking different styles to recommend to my patrons while I develop and release chapters of Shards of Remorsica on my Patreon. I found clear tarot card sleeves for a decent price, but was thrilled to find a trio of new-to-me games.

I should point out that both Free League Publishing and Edge Studio are European publishers who offer a few translations of their games into other languages in addition to American English. Those translations are also available in game stores and on DriveThruRPG.com.

Games I’m Looking Forward to Playing

The first is titled Letters of Sandra and is a solo letter writing game published by Gem Room Games (Kali Lawrie and Dan Phipps) who also designed a cool game titled 9 Lives to Valhalla. The description reads: “Sandra Blank has gone off to college. You are one of 6 characters who is close with Sandra. She is corresponding with all 6 people throughout her first semester of college. Read excerpts of Sandra’s letters to you, roll on news tables to reveal what you are choosing to share with her (and what you are choosing not to say), and decide for yourself whether or not to respect the privacy of letters not meant for your eyes.”

My attention was drawn to the bespoke cover by Aleksandra Brokman, who designed the Wise Women RPG. “Wise Women explores what effect navigating between having the power to help on one hand and facing social prejudice on the other has on the characters and their relationships with their neighbours. Will they continue to strive to protect and improve their community, or will the prejudice drive them to lash out and turn to violence and Dark Magic? Wise Women is based on the Powered by the Apocalypse ruleset and suitable for 2-5 players.” Though it’s not a solo journaling game, I could not pass this plant-themed game up!

Lastly, I snapped up a hardcover edition someone pointed out to me of Siege Perilous in the Age of Arthur. Powered by tarot, this journaling game “is a solo and troupe (group) roleplaying game about Arthurian knights questing across England. You will travel through the life of your knight, encountering characters, enemies and NPCs. You will undertake quests, both for your own advancement and that of those you serve alongside and for.” Published by Gallant Knight Games, this game uses a tarot rules set I’m not familiar with called Firelights. I’m curious to see how that style of roleplay plays out against an Arthurian backdrop.

Which games, adventures, and accessories did you pick up? Anything I should know about?

Set in Ireland at The Bilberry Woods Hotel, HOKUM (2026) spins a yarn about an unlikable protagonist who visits the hotel to lay his parents’ ashes to rest. Ohm Bauman, an American novelist played by Adam Scott, is painted as a wealthy-but-unhappy writer who’s moved to visit the hotel his parents stayed at for their honeymoon. Shortly after arriving, Bauman overhears an old man named Cob (Brendan Conroy) warn two young kids about a Callieach who’ll cut off body parts as souvenirs and drag the boys in chains to the underworld.

What follows is a story that includes multiple character arcs, braiding the main-and-supporting cast’s problems together with supernatural threads. Though Bauman is the central figure in the film, the character keeps us grounded by dealing with his grief and the colorful hotel workers who have issues of their own.

HOKUM is distributed by Neon, an independent American film company established in 2017, and is now available to rent through video-on-demand or purchase.

***WARNING***SPOILERS BELOW***WARNING***SPOILERS BELOW***

One of the interesting things about HOKUM is that the movie is not, and should never be regarded as such, a story about a malevolent genius loci. The Bilberry Woods Hotel is not supernatural itself, like the kind of hotel (THE SHINING) or mansion (ROSE RED) that terrifies its visitors because it’s possessed or built on tainted land. Instead, it’s clear from the beginning of the movie that people–not ghosts or witches or demons–are always more interesting that we give them credit for. The employees keep secrets, make mistakes, and pursue their own agendas while obeying Cob, the owner, who believes he’s keeping the Cailleach at bay. From the very beginning of the movie, it isn’t clear whether she exists or not, just like the ghost of Bauman’s mother.

What I find so interesting about HOKUM is that the protagonist’s impetus for change has nothing to do with the act of scattering his parent’s ashes or his attempted suicide, but through his guilt after hotel worker Fiona (Florence Ordesh) discovers him. Recognizing the trauma he caused, Bauman becomes obsessed with finding her, only to discover she’s missing. This mystery is something he can’t let go of, and the novelist picks up the search touching upon the locked honeymoon suite no one is supposed to go into.

As the mystery unravels, it becomes increasingly clear McCarthy’s take on the supernatural is that it’s part of our waking reality at all times even if we can’t acknowledge it without a little help. This theme shines through the ghosts, culminating in the movie’s finale, while keeping us guessing. Small details–the clock in the locked honeymoon suite, the elevator, the diorama–aren’t just symbols, they’re warnings.

I found HOKUM to be atmospheric, grounded, and satisfying because of its emphasis on human failings and grief. Blending psychological elements with folk horror was an excellent choice, and made sense for all the characters involved. Though I do have a few nitpicks (e.g. more Cob, amplifying how broken Bauman is before his trip, etc.), those are minor in comparison to the rest of the film. By retaining a tight narrative, the story is so personal when we finally meet the Callieach we know which victims she’s targeted and why.

Filmed beautifully, with stellar performances by its tight casting, you might be surprised to learn HOKUM was a low-budget film, only 5 million. Though this figure is comparative to modern folk horror movies like MIDSOMMAR ($9 Million) and LAMB ($5 Million) the production value doesn’t suffer for it. If anything, McCarthy’s emphasis on character arcs woven against a supernatural backdrop has benefited from the confines of filming small, predominantly in one location like THE OTHERS, using different cinematic framing and effects.

If you’re hoping for an atmospheric-but-tense movie check out HOKUM. Now available through video-on-demand platforms like Amazon Prime and in physical media.

Cthulhu Dreamt is an upcoming original sci-fi horror tabletop roleplaying game that combines immersive storytelling, survival-focused gameplay, and a fully integrated original soundtrack into a single experience. Set on a near-future Earth transformed by cosmic entities, the game challenges players to cross a dangerous world in search of one of humanity’s last hopes for survival.

Created by Reed Reimer and developed alongside a team of writers, designers, and musicians, Cthulhu Dreamt spans more than 700 pages across two hardcover books. Players take on the role of survivors navigating a world altered by the influence of Cthulhu and other forces. Throughout the campaign, players can scan QR codes embedded in the book to trigger tracks written specifically for key encounters. The result is a tabletop experience where music evolves alongside the narrative, creating a cinematic atmosphere.

“At its core, Cthulhu Dreamt is a beautiful exploration of both cataclysmic, apocalyptic horror, and deep, profound grief. It’s unlike any game we’ve ever designed, and working on it has been beyond anything I could have… well, dreamt. When Reed and I met all those years ago and started this journey, neither of us could have predicted how far it would take us. It is my greatest pride to have worked on this game, and it has transformed me. I think it’s transformed all of us,” says Jaron Johnson, Lead Game Designer & Writer at Vala Foundry.

Key Features of Cthulhu Dreamt include:
* More than 700 pages across two hardcover books
* An original narrative d12 ruleset
* Over 7 hours of original music
* QR code soundtrack integration throughout the campaign
* Ten playable character specializations
* Five standalone adventures

“When I began delving into what would become Cthulhu Dreamt, it was as a way to process grief over the loss of my daughter. I would never have thought that my loss would have led to gaining so many new and wonderful people in my life, whom I’ve not only had the opportunity to work and create with, but who have become dear, dear friends to me. The fact that wanting to make some music has become a world that other people could take and make their own is beyond magical to me, and I’ll forever be grateful to everyone involved!” Reed Reimer, Music Director & Composer, Fable Factory.

The Cthulhu Dreamt crowdfunding campaign launches this week!. Players can follow the project now to receive updates, previews, and launch information.
