Demon-Bone Sarcophagus is LIVE!

CLICK HERE OR DON'T

WHAT IS DEMON-BONE SARCOPHAGUS?

There is an extensive description on the Kickstarter but I will summarise here.

Its a D&D adventure by Scrap Princess and Patrick Stuart!

The PC's stumble across the aftermath of a massacre conducted between different groups of conspirators. Unbeknonwst to the conspirators, this particular clusterfuck took place above a buried tomb.

During the battle, great holes opened in the earth. Various members of each faction fell into the holes, leapt in to escape, or went in following those escapees.

Now members from all groups chase each other around the Tomb, disturbing its traps, its ancient guardians and getting ever-closer to the DEMON-BONE SARCOPHAGUS.

The book is in the same style as Deep-Carbon Observatory. Not quite a sequel, or even necessarily located in the same continuity, but there are points of contact between the two.

The format is the same; an A4 hardback, and the delivery system, printer etc, are all the same.
It will take longer to reach you than DCO did.

THE ESTIMATED PRODUCTION SCHEDULE

Due to (ARGUABLE) "flaws" in DCO, we are investing in a proof-reader and a layout "polisher", which takes time, so we hope to get this to you early in 2022. A fuller schedule in on the Kickstarter.

BROKEN FIRE REGIME

Its been brewing for a while.

See this post from 2014

This interview from 2015 STILL WORTH A LOOK!

And this post from 2015

Like any great trial, or at least like most of mine, when its done there is a sense of anticlimax. Its hard to believe, after so many years that we are actually there and it is really taking place.

But we this is not the end, or the beginning of the end. It is the end of the beginning and yes I know I'm quoting Churchill you don't need to point it out in the commnets.

Imagine yourself as bloated and sanguine studio executives, or, more accurately considering social change, lithe, vacant and glass-eyed executives laden with data.

"The system is dying" you rumble and whine one to the other, "nothing can save us now."

Then you wait, grow frustrated and say it again; "I SAID NOTHING CAN SAVE U..."

FEAR NOT MOTHERFUCKERS
BECAUSE HOPE IS HERE!!!!!

Yes, tis I, old Patrick Stuart, grown all-too corporeal from a year in lockdown, bursting through the studio door with a THREE-BOOK SERIES!!!

THAT'S THREE YEARS OF KICKSTARTERS PEOPLE!

UNLESS THE FIRST ONE FAILS...

OR THE SECOND ONE FAILS..

HUZZAH! WHATEVER REMAINS OF THE OSR IS ARGUABLY SAVED IF IT WASN'T BEFORE

Prepare your soft bodies for the most epically epic epic that ever bloated its way into the noosphere. A tale so FAT we had to grease it just to get it through our brains.

ONE DUNGEON CRAWL???? DID YOU THINK THAT WAS IT YOU POOR FOOLS????

THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!

In fact, Broken Fire Regime will be one bigish dungeon crawl, a groundbreaking sandbox/heist/disaster movie/heartbreaking hard-hitting COMMENTARY on BAD POLITICS..

(Yes! Brutal and unrelenting debt-slavery combined with murderous work conditions, drug additction and a dab of racism, could these things somehow be WORNG?????? Finally someone in RPGs is taking the risky stand against things we all think are bad that the CULTURE has been waiting for, and made a CORPORATION, the bad guys. .... or ARE THEY????????)

Because the last part is a mysterious mystery slash Court Drama slash Chivalric ballad slash THRILLING DENAUMANT in which at least some of the stuff you did waaay back in the beginning becomes SUDDENLY RELEVANT as the PCs are plunged unto the PLANE OF FIRE ITSELF.

And if we actually manage to produce all of these, and they actually work, they should all be in your hands by 2024? Then I guess I can start work on LITTORAL STORM CORSAIRS, the 'Air' part of the Earth/Fire/Air/Water series.

Or maybe Lanthanum Chromate, who knows..

So get ready to SMASH THAT LIKE BUUUUUOOOHHHGODIHATEMYSELF

BUT I HAVE TO GO ON! AND IF I HAVE TO YOU GODDAMN HAVE TO AS WELL!

NO ONE IS GETTING OFF THIS BUS TILL I DRIVE IT INTO THE SEA FAR BELOW SO SMASH THAT FUCKING LIKE BUTTON BITCHES BECAUSE A KICKSTARTER IS ON AND HMRC WANT THEIR MONEY BACK
