#TTRPG 🎲 Advent Calendar, Day 15:

"Strang Beorn" by Sam Tempest ( @samtempest.bsky.social ), art by Will Tempest ( @willtempest.bsky.social ), & edited by Kate Eddy ( @airymouse.com )

Another killer game book from this fantastic team! A haunted delve for Mörk BORG that deals in slow burn horror

Cover of the TTRPG book "Strang Beorn" by Sam & Will Tempest. The cover is blood red & features blank ink art of the sun in the sky directly above a lone tower, rising above a desolate, leafless forest

Inside spread from Strang Beorn showing intricate B&W art of the entrance to Strang Beorn, which appears as a solid black curved doorway. Glowing white eyes peer from inside, beckoning you to enter & be slaughtered.

Inside spread from Strang Beorn showing a lone tower standing against debris like that after a major storm, branches & building materials strewn about. Text describes how this is a good way in, and that on the day the watchtower was meant to serve its intended purpose, the watchmen fled in fear

So we’ve been sitting on the new Frogmen zine for a little longer than we planned… but that’s because we’re making it into something much, much cooler. Keep an eye out for more news!

Metallic and not-quite-alive
Movement memory-like
A new lord resides here.

There is no greater stain than that left by betrayal. It is wise to steer clear of these forsaken places, for there are things in this world that make their bed in the sorrow. Venture into the abandon...

There’s no time to relax, Frogmen. The Skorps have us on the back foot after Crisis Omega and they’re going on the offensive.

Shadow Barricade drops tomorrow!
