ROLE-PLAYING GAMES

100 Horror Adventure Seeds
This roleplaying supplement contains 100 generic horror plots for use with your horror games. Each plot consists of a premise, three twists, and an epilogue.

Shadowrun Darkest Hour Dawn o/t Artifacts
Sixth World scholars have long hypothesized the cyclical nature of magic. For years corporations, collectors and other factions have spent fortunes hunting down surviving relics of this mythical age. The shadows whisper of lost lore and a secret history to the world. A privileged few have come into possession of ancient items of great power and mysterious purpose, artifacts from before recorded history. Now it’s your turn… Eighteen months ago, the Phaistos Disk was stolen from the Herakleion Museum in Athens. Now, Mr. Johnson needs you to find it and bring it back. The hunt will take the runners through the shadows of Europe, and lead to interactions with smugglers, art dealers, and archaeologists. If they survive Interpol, Aztechnology, and an eccentrically violent shadowrunner team, they may just learn who is behind the hunt and why. Darkest Hour is the third chapter of the Dawn of the Artifacts storyline. This continuing storyline explores the secret history of Shadowrun, and offers clues to the true mastermind behind the hunt for the artifacts

Battletech Jihad Hot Spots Terra
Tearing Down the Walls! For more than ten years, the Word of Blake’s Jihad has engulfed the states of the Inner Sphere and the invading Clans in chaos and fire. Reeling from attacks on all fronts, realms have fought one another while the Word’s masters built a powerful Protectorate around humanity’s home: Terra. But with the rise of a resourceful rebel leader, Devlin Stone, the collective might of the Great Houses and rival Clans have united for an all-out assault against the Protectorate – one that can only end when humanity’s home is free once again! Seen from the eyes of those who fight and die in this epic struggle, Jihad Hot Spots: Terra includes articles and intelligence excerpts from across the Inner Sphere, along with additional rules and campaign tracks for both BattleTech campaigns played using the Total Warfare and A Time of War game rules. This sourcebook also provides a rare, in-depth look at the Terran system itself, including the history and varied cultures who live on these most revered worlds.

Cthulhu Dice Bag
When Cthulhu eats your sanity, you’re in trouble. But when he eats your dice, he’ll give them back. The Cthulhu Dice Bag is soft plush, with far more eyes, tentacles, and wings than any ordinary dice bag. He’ll hold dozens of ordinary six-siders or non-Euclidean polyhedrons in his zippered pouch. Or, of course, Sanity tokens from Cthulhu Dice. Or cursed jewels, or gravel, or bus tokens, or all of them together. Just remember that to get them out, you have to put your hand inside Cthulhu. If you are okay with that, this is the perfect dice bag for you. Using the Cthulhu Dice Bag in summoning rituals is not recommended, but mostly because summoning Cthulhu is really a bad idea. Just let him hold your dice.

Exalted 2 Glories of the Most High
The Secrets of the Incarnae Revealed! Glories of the Most High reveals many secrets of these higher powers, and a slew of new materials to use in your Exalted series including dozens of new Charms as well as additional secrets, rites, characters, and errata.
