The Violet-Haunted Crypt

 

Well, I did it.  

You can't get this at DriveThruRPG, only the following independent webstores.  

It's a free Cha'alt adventure that I'm hoping will drive more traffic to the little PDF retailers who're trying to compete with the behemoth eating up 95% of the marketshare.

So, what is The Violet-Haunted Crypt?  It's 30 pages of full-color gonzo, eldritch, science-fantasy, post-apocalypse!  

You get some Cha'alt lore (including a cat girl race for PCs), start in the city, there's a dungeon, and I highlight this NPC that's a cross between Leisure Suit Larry, Kramer, and Pierce Hawthorne.  Perfect for the GM who wants to get a little wild and crazy with his game's social interaction (without taking anything away from the PCs themselves)!

And the cartography is truly something special - simple, elegant, and covered in violet, radioactive jizz.  ;)

  • The Red Room has it here.
  • Big Geek Emporium over here.
  • Giant Slayer Games (which may not be open yet) right here.

All the artwork (including the cover) was made using Midjourney A.I.  God damn, I love that shit!

Since it's not only free, but totally fucking awesome, I hope many of you run right out and download it.  Be sure to let everyone know what you think... reviews, blog comments, social media, the works!

p.s.  Looking for more players (we honestly have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to GMs) at VENGER CON.  Grab your ticket while it's still available!  Also, don't forget about the Cha'alt webcomic Kickstarter.

Project Badass

 

We know where to find the 800lb gorilla of RPG retailers... especially when it comes to PDFs.

What I'd like to do is help out the little guys, the independents, the smaller platforms who need traffic to merely stay alive.

Next month, I'm releasing a badass fucking Cha'alt adventure to Big Geek Emporium, Giant Slayer Games (coming online in a couple weeks), Red Room, and any other RPG webstore that wants it.  This PDF adventure will be both FREE and unavailable to larger retailers. 

I'm hoping this gives such little known places a boost, and I hope that other content creators will join with me and create their own PDF exclusively for platforms trying to survive in an algorithmic ecosystem that's doomed to failure unless gamers can come together and support them.

If you're such a PDF platform retailer specializing in RPGs, let me know and I'll include you in this (and other) blog posts, as well as, upload the digital files when the Cha'alt adventure is complete (around May 15th).

Content creators and indie PDF platforms who want to be part of the solution should contact me so we can join up and be badass together in getting this project off the ground. I can't do all of this by myself, and shouldn't have to.  Who's with me?

p.s.  Yep, I've got an OSR convention coming up in July.  Join me in Madison, WI for VENGER CON II: Electric Boogaloo!!!  Additionally, I still have hardcover Cha'alt books (signed, numbered, and personalized by me)... get them here.
