BREAKING NEWS is a 40-page zine packed with faction intrigue, investigative scenarios, and journalism-driven tools for Wardens.
Run it as a standalone 3–5 session mini-campaign, or drop its pieces into your ongoing Mothership games.
Built as a toolbox for the Warden: rumors, story seeds, tables, suggested mechanics, and possible outcomes, so you're never stuck at the table.
Layout designed for clarity in play: the details that matter pop, so you can improvise, follow, or remix on the fly.
What's inside:
A full mini-campaign, "Show No Pythia": a 3–5 session investigation across Prospero's Dream, full of conspiracies, missing persons, and media-fueled intrigue
Faction drama: The Oracle news empire, rival broadcasters, corporate fixers, and desperate influencers, all fighting to control the narrative
Mapped locations: from Au Clair de Lune's eerie restaurant front to The Oracle's high-rise tower
Players handouts: Player-facing maps, NPC origins backstory comic by Roque Romero...
Rumor Generator and Fallout Tracker: tools to seed new leads, expand the investigation, or keep the conspiracy growing in play
NPC journalists and informants: memorable characters with motives, secrets, and hooks to pull your players deeper
Original artwork by Haven Milne throughout
GM-friendly layout: quick reference on the inside cover, toolkit spread, and a back-cover lookup table tied to the zine's core mechanic

Of Folk and Fey is built on the common themes and archetypes of folklore, for a game with a true folklore feel - it's your own fairytale, but not like the Disney-fied versions.
