Volume one of SHADOW-CHA'ALT is now live (and the preview is actually working). Here's the DriveThru link.
What is it? An introductory adventure that lowers the temperature on gonzo, sleaze, and pop-culture references. This is the perfect scenario for novice and veteran GMs to get their tentacles wet.
It's system-neutral OSR, based gaming at its best. Use it with Advanced Crimson Dragon Slayer, ShadowDark, or any number of traditional old-school D&D rule-sets.
This will hopefully turn into a series that explores and plays around with a number of OSR conventions, including ShadowDark and Cha'alt. SHADOW-CHA'ALT volume two will have revised mechanics for light sources and fumbling around in the dark.
Thanks for supporting independent creators!

ReplyDeleteThanks hoss, I hope you love it!
DeleteI think it's cool to see you revisit some of your more grimdark fantasy stuff. I guess it makes some sense to appeal to Shadowdark fans by offering compatibility, but your products were always compatible with most OSR products anyway and your strength has always been to do your own thing. I hope the other volumes show off your own ideas and are front and center. You can never appeal to everyone, so if you're making what excites you, you've hit the mark.
ReplyDeleteI haven't picked this up yet, but it's a done deal for me. I'll be sure to heap some praise when I read it.
Yeah, I've very rarely done anything in my creative life that doesn't excite me to some degree. Recalibrating my passion, for this series at least, is all part of the process. But don't worry, there will be plenty more inappropriate sewer trash of sleaze and cosmic horror and gonzo to keep you warm this winter and beyond! ;)
DeleteI would expect nothing less. 😁
ReplyDeleteBeing a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity some of these wealthy people you know are vampires, even a few of your celebrities. This world is being controlled by people like this who have the power to do whatsoever they want, power to convince,power to command,power to be wherever they want to be and to achieve whatever they want. These rich and powerful people have their secrets and they will never let you know. I have wanted to be like them , have powers , get rich and after so long I found one email online from one of the vampire pages in 2016 and I sent them a message,they replied and told me what to do and this is how I achieved my goal of becoming one of them. trust me i have tested life from both sides and i will tell you that vampire life is a top life, seeing yourself as a king because what you I want you to get it. You can also become one if you wish and put an end to your low life, Contact them on josedaylight6@gmail.com
