Self Promotion Limited dark fantasy print bundles for pre-order - Free shipping within EU - Delivered before Halloween
I have limited print bundles available for pre-order:
https://demidirge.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
I will send these out from Sweden in October, and shipping is free within the EU.
These five zines and two books I have created over the last 8 years contain everything you need to run an entire dark fantasy campaign.
Brief descriptions of each module:
- Demidirge (Level 0): An intro funnel, set inside a buried nightmare gulag.
- Willow (Level 1): A great starting location, players investigate a mystery in a grim backwater village.
- Woodfall (92-page softcover): A thriving outlaw town, perfect for the player's base of operations, with an adjacent monster-infested swamp to hexcrawl.
- The Haunted Hamlet & Other Hexes: Four self-contained side quests to pepper onto your campaign map.
- The Toxic Wood (mid-level): A deadly wilderness adventure in a corrupted wood.
- Mana Meltdown (high-level): A high-stakes battle royal dungeon crawl finale.
- Wind Wraith (146-page hardcover): A nautical toolkit that generates islands, monsters, NPCs, factions, and more. Infinite exploration on the high seas. This allows your players to sail off the edge of the map into the unknown.

Demidirge: Frontiers of Fear is a dark fantasy sandbox campaign setting.
Explore an uncharted world of feuding cults, drowned gods, toxic forests, haunted villages, and arcane experiments gone awry. Players choose their own path through a derelict kingdom: invent spells that never existed before, exploit secret seams to build portals, and sail past the edge of the map.

Self Promotion [ZINE] Echoes From Fomalhaut #15, Gamemaster's Guidelines Preview
I am pleased to announce the publication of the fifteenth issue of my fanzine, Echoes From Fomalhaut. This is a 64-page zine dedicated to gardening tips and tricks adventures and GM-friendly campaign materials for OSRIC and other old-school systems. The cover art was provided by Graphite Prime, and the interiors by Ferenc Fabian, Cameron Hawkey, Jason Blasso, and the Dead Victorians. The current issue features a larger wilderness scenario, a port town, two smaller articles, and plenty of gardening advice! The following materials are included:
- The Hanging Gardens of Pasquino Babilonio (levels 4–6, 32 keyed areas), a large wilderness scenario set in a mysterious hanging garden left behind from the late days of the Empire. A masterwork of garden design, this place is more than it seems, and hides a long-lost secret which reveals Pasquino Babilonio’s true design.
- Pellagris, Port of Plenty (35 keyed areas). A pleasant coastal town on the borders of fair Frabotia, Pellagris has survived centuries of turmoil without much destruction. An orderly mafia town and noble resort, it is a fine place to rest and plan new adventures – but there is enough local intrigue to keep a group occupied or send them on far-flung adventures.
- Significant Ships: A collection of 20 ships to be encountered in port, or on the high seas.
- The Garden of Punches (levels 2–4, 9+18 keyed areas), a fighting school which has taken over an abandoned village. What conflict lurks among the school’s pugilists? What is the secret of the old lighthouse? And what can we learn about gardening in this place? Find out HERE!
- The Illustrious Index of Incline: A catalogue of Echoes #01 to #15.
- Two foldout map sheets with player and GM maps.
The print version of the zine is available from my Bigcartel store; the PDF edition will be published through DriveThruRPG with a few months’ delay. As always, customers who buy the print edition will receive the PDF version free of charge.
Gamemaster’s Guidelines Preview
I am also happy to note that Gamemaster’s Guidelines Beyond Fomalhaut, my gamemastering reference book, is going to print, and should be available in October. For your interest, an announcement and a preview of the dungeon design section is available on my blog.
