War of the Spider Queen V1 (novel)

$ 15.95 SRP

The War of the Spider Queen — the epic, six-book series from the fertile imaginations of R.A. Salvatore and a select group of the Forgotten Realms best-selling authors–begins here. While their whole world is changing around them, four dark elves struggle against different enemies. Yet their paths will lead them all to the most terrifying discovery in the long history of the drow and set them on a quest to save not only Menzoberranzan but the entire dark elf race from dissolution. Insurrection A hand-picked team of the most capable drow adventurers begin a perilous journey through the treacherous Underdark, all the while surrounded by the chaos of war. Their path will take them through the very heart of darkness, and the Underdark will be shaken to its core. If the powerful dark elves falter, the world below is open for insurrection. Condemnation From the burning sand of Anauroch to the labyrinthine Underdark, an epic quest for the very essence of the Spider Queen takes one startling turn after another. Powerful forces are at work to discover where Lolth has gone. She may return as something greater than she was, or she may have gone from her drow children forever, leaving them to their own devices in a chilling condemnation.

Deathwatch: The Rising Tempest

As the conflict against the Tau approaches its breaking point and paranoia over their suspected acts of sedition reaches an all-time high, the infamous Lord Commander Ebongrave seeks allies he can trust in his campaign against disloyalty. But are Tau sympathizers really maneuvering among the loyal citizens of the Imperium? And if so, what darker plans do they hold in store? Rising Tempest is an epic adventure in three parts for Deathwatch, the popular Warhammer 40,000 roleplaying game. When the Tau make a play for dominance that threatens to tip the balance of power in the Canis Salient, they’ll unwittingly endanger the entire Jericho Reach… and only the Space Marines of the Deathwatch can stop them.

Mouth of the Shadowvein

The depths of the underearth weigh heavily upon the party as they delve deeper into the cold, hard stone. Every river has an end, even those that never see the light of day. Many adventures behind, the party continues to find the mouth of the Shadowvein. What lies ahead is surely dangerous, but the lure of the deeps is strong with gold and magic.  The Mouth of the Shadowvein concludes the exploration started in The Pod Caverns of the Sinister Shroom and continued in Down the Shadowvein. However, The Mouth of the Shadowvein can be played by those who have not explored those modules. 3rd-5th level characters.

Wherein we continue to make “friends,” get healed, shakedown a corrupt cop, flash some dwarven-gang signs, become legends (in our own minds), and finally arrive at our destination – the Original/Old Thieves’ Guild!  No doubt the party has learned a lesson and will behave in a more rational, civilized, and polite manner.  (And if you believe that one, I own this sweet bridge in Brooklyn that I’m looking to sell real cheap.)

SV Session 1.5

Oooh, a cliffhanger ending.  Bonsai and Najaris are trading hits and insults while Will and Squirmy keep the guards entertained.  How will it end?  Tune in next time and find out.

And in case you missed it, here’s my favorite line from this episode:

                SQUIRM: I do believe I will strut in as ten chickens.

                WILL: Why ten?

                SQUIRMY: Ten seems like the appropriate number of chickens to make up a human body.

(Heeheeehaaahahaaa. O Mike, you so crazy!)

Cthulhu by Gaslight

$ 28.95 SRP

In 1986, avid Sherlockian Bill Barton produced the award-winning first edition of Cthulhu by Gaslight. A second edition, with only slight changes, appeared two years later. Since then a handful of Call of Cthulhu books set in the Victorian era have appeared, and articles and scenarios still crop up from time to time. But it’s been over 20 years (!) since the Gaslight book itself was reprinted or updated. This new edition of Cthulhu by Gaslight has been thoroughly revamped, expanding the book by nearly 50% and adding new material roughly equivalent to the original book’s length. With this book and a copy of the Call of Cthulhu core rulebook, a prospective Keeper can run a campaign set in Victorian England. This edition provides a strong background in both the Victorian world and the activities of the Cthulhu Mythos within it. So grab your coat, hat, and walking stick, and have the doctor bring his bag and revolver. It’s time to step into a world of Victorian occult adventure — the world of Cthulhu by Gaslight!

Here is the next chapter for your listening pleasure!

Due to some logistical issues we did not get Episode 3 post last week as planned.  Therefore we are posting both Episodes 3 & 4 today!  It’s a two-for-one special of Role-Playing action/hilarity/insanity/fun.

In this episode the group runs afoul of the local authorities.  Shocking right?  I mean, how could a three-foot tall anthropomorphic flying squirrel, a mass of worms in its own steam-powered flying tin can, and a drunken elf get into trouble so quickly?  You know, after reading that sentence again, it’s a miracle we didn’t run into trouble much, much sooner.
