I launched a new adventure for the TTRPG R'lyehwatch!
Match-point and it’s all on the line for the Sunset Hills lifeguard volleyball team. Just then an explosion from out at sea rocks the beach! Is this just another water-sports mishap, or could there be something nefarious beneath the surface?
A new strain of the devil's lettuce has hit the streets. This "sea weed" packs an extra kick, and it's up to the lifeguards to find out who has been bringing into town before its true effects are revealed under the full moon!
It's 1994 and the lifeguards are keeping watch over the beaches of Southern California. Not only do you need to keep beach-goers safe from dangerous riptides, heavy surf, and errant jet skis, but also from Lovecraftian horrors from the depths!
Nyarlathotep's Liegemen and the Sea Weed is designed for use with R'lyehwatch, an RPG system that manages to pack this all into one game! PLUS, due to the generous third-party license and system reference document, everything you need to play the game is contained within Nyarlathotep's Liegemen (It doesn't hurt to get yourself copy of the original though)!
- A complete adventure designed for R'lyehwatch
- All the rules needed to build characters and get playing
- Instant access to a playable version
- The finished 16-page, full-color, A5-sized physical zine and PDF (for higher tiers)
- More pages added through successful itchfunding goals!
Itchfunding is a great way to create excitement for a zine without having to go through the rigmarole of a full-blown crowdfunding campaign. This is a smaller project for me, and a bit of an experiment, so I'm hoping this will be a low-pressure way to bring this zine to life!
- The zine is happening no matter what! Itchfunding acts more as a pre-order than it does a crowdfunding campaign. Funding is not "all-or-nothing" and even if one person buys a physical copy, I'll print and ship it to them.
- You get early access instantly! You get the lightly-formatted, straight from Google Docs version of the game the moment you support the project at one of the defined tiers. This means you can play the game tonight!
- Early supporters get a discount! Until the itchfunding period wraps up on July 1st, all tiers for the finished zine, both PDF and physical, are 20% off!
- Itchfunding goals make the project better, not possible! Hitting goals within the campaign will help me make this project even cooler. The first itchfunding goal helps fund more art, but I've got some more ideas up my sleeve for what comes after that!
R'lyehwatch is powered by the light-weight Tricube Tales system!
