It’s been a while since I’ve done any shameless self-promotion here. That’s not due to any new-found shame in self-promotion, I assure you, but rather a general lack of items to promote. (Not that I’m not working on stuff, it’s just that most of it’s still under wraps.)
One item that has emerged, wet and blinking, from beneath the wraps of secrecy, is The Silver Tablet, a new adventure I designed for Fantasy Flight’s Cthulhu-themed Mansions of Madness horror boardgame. Here’s part of what I wrote about it for FFG’s website:
One of the things I love most about Mansions of Madness is how the clues and dangers of a single story can be combined in different ways to create entirely new adventures every time you play. (Yes, there are screams from the cellar, but are those the screams of a monster’s victims–like last time–or the final syllables of a summoning ritual performed in an alien language?) When given the opportunity to write a new story for Mansions of Madness, this was the aspect of the game I grabbed onto. I enjoyed the challenge of developing multiple adventures all with the same setup, whose differences were slowly revealed–like the horrible secrets of a Lovecraft story–over the course of play.
You can read the rest of my designer notes here, where you can also order a copy for yourself and six or seven of your closest friends. (See? Still shameless in my self-promotion.)
