The Seven are a very ancient belief, and probably one of the inspirations for the Seven Deadly Sins. The following is from an Assyrian stone tablet. While this is obviously more about Spirits than Ghosts (as players of the World of Darkness would define them), I’m still using it for the novel Seven Skulls for [...]

I’ve been doing some research for my next novel, Seven Skulls for Cathrine. and came across this posting on the witch Cutty Sark on the DapperCadaver.com blog site. From Tam O’Shanter Inspiring bold John Barleycorn! What dangers thou canst make us scorn! Wi’ tippenny, [ale] we fear nae evil; Wi’ usquabae, [whiskey] we’ll face the devil!

This is the start of an Origin story for the Geist, the ghost in the shell of the Sin-Eaters. I was waiting for White Wolf to get back to me, but something became clear as I continued to work on this, and the other areas I’ve read in the World of Darkness… absolute origin stories are [...]

These guys still rock, and they keep getting better. This is seriously gorgeous as well.

The artist calls this “Gentle Touch of Death” … it is probably the best Geist theme in an image that I’ve seen so far. If you have seen similar or.. better? I sure would like the link. Love your Geist, and she will… well.. she’s a geist so let’s not push it too far.. seriously.

More of The Bleeding Edge!

Is it a magazine for showing Hot Chicks doing Extreme Sports? Or is it a secret communication to the warriors in the battle for the future and destiny of mankind?

Kale Fleigh, the enigmatic editor of Extreme Edge Magazine, isn't telling. But with any luck, the information in these pages will save the lives of some adventurers, or at least give them the chance to go down fighting!

In this issue...

• Cover Karrie Stuart: and nbsp;Super Model, Super Activist, Super Powered!

• We Review the Kohl Armories Longbow NC!

• Fifi Reviews the Akram Motors Wraith 2017 Roadster!

• State of the World: and nbsp; Style

• Editorial: The Sake of Appearance

When you live on the Extreme Edge, you're always a razor blade's width away from catastrophe... and you need a magazine that understands you. Welcome to the Extreme Edge!

(This is a supplement for Hot Chicks: The Roleplaying Game. You will need the Core Rulebook to play.)

This Tunnels and amp; Trolls^TM mega-solo adventure is 98 pages long with over 50 pen and amp; ink illustrations, most never having been seen before. Every page has at least one illustration on it.

Tower of Terror takes place in an old wizard's tower that has been sealed off, and is now currently used by the worshipers of Ophion, the serpent god (aka Set). Expect many slithering snake-like opponents as well as a bunch of regular type of enemies to overcome. Much treasure is to be had as well as attribute enhancements.

There are and nbsp;two ways to play: you may go through 16 and nbsp;short individual adventures, or for longer more advanced play you can go on the and quot;Trip of Terror and quot; involving the 16 original as well as two others for a total of 18 adventures. and nbsp; Some lower level spells are allowed, but this is mainly for warrior/fighter types. While most of this is for second level characters or higher, there are a few easier adventures in Tower of Terror. Also more than one may go through at a time, but you will need to multiply the opponents by the number of adventurers (naturally).

STATE OF THE INDUSTRY and hellip;

Since the coming of the Clans, the military, industrial, and command complexes of the Inner Sphere have raced against the invaders and mdash;and each other and mdash;to out-produce one another in battle-worthy manpower and materiel. Factories that were smashed in the Succession Wars were reborn and revitalized, churning out ever more cutting-edge equipment, while academies expanded their curriculums and sent generations of fresh warriors into battle.

At the pinnacle of the arms race, new wars erupted, first against the Clans, and then between the Great Houses and Periphery states of the Inner Sphere. In the fires of the Word of Blake Jihad, destruction reached a level not seen since the early Succession Wars and hellip; but the stricken realms persevered.

Objectives: Lyran Alliance describes the state of the major factories, training centers, and command centers of House Steiner and rsquo;s Lyran Alliance in the wake of the events described in Jihad Hot Spots: Terra. Including detailed stats on every key system within the realm, this supplement also includes basic rules to help guide players in developing BattleTech scenarios focused on defending and mdash;or attacking and mdash;these critical sites.

Racial Ecologies: Guide to Minotaur

and quot;We do not fear the labyrinth.
We fear what lies within it. and rdquo;

and nbsp; and nbsp; and nbsp;There exists much speculation surrounding the ancient history of the minotaur. The
proud race of minotaurs have walked the lands for many thousands of years and,
with this race and rsquo;s great strength, fortitude, and uncanny skills of survival, its likely
that they will remain for thousands more. Several records found throughout the
histories of various cultures include tales which attempt to explain the origins of the
minotaur, but as of yet scholars still have no clear understanding of how these creatures
came to exist within the world. These tales include myths of the minotaur as being
the true race created by the gods to display strength and honor to the race of humans. and nbsp; and nbsp; and nbsp;

Racial Ecologies: Guide to Minotaur is part of a new line of small supplements from Fat Goblin Games. Each one is richly detailed with info on racial histories, personality, physiology, and all the details for playing the race. Expect to see additional bonus material, such as racial options, equipment, npc's, adventure hooks and many more!
