Corpses, Curses, and Corinthian Chaos

Story Mode Productions funded their horror RPG in two hours. Erebus Mythos: Vampyr is a Shadowdark adventure set in 1846, post-independence Greece, drawing from the terrifying Vrykolakas legend that inspired Stoker and Polidori before vampires became SFDW (safe for drawing rooms).

Winchester Tales: Demonic Incursions and Ecumenical Matters. Careful Now.

A figure in a dark coat and hat stands with their back to the viewer, facing a large, gothic-style church illuminated by a single light in the upper window. The scene is set in a rainy atmosphere, with droplets visible in the air, and the church is surrounded by a wrought-iron fence, adding to the ominous ambiance. The overall color palette is dark and moody, enhancing the sense of mystery and foreboding.

Norman conquest, Saxon kings, and now demonic incursions, Winchester's medieval streets have seen it all, apparently. Two Starving Gnolls deliver a new supplement for The Exorcist's Codex™ that relocates the game's structured demon-hunting to 1890s Winchester and its surrounding countryside and featuring eleven scenarios, exploring the city's layered history of faith, corruption, and demonic scheming. Down with that sort of thing, presumably.
