Want to dig into something chartreuse, slimy, and covered with tentacles?  My latest work, Cha'alt, is right over here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/284600/Chaalt

_______

This is both a self-contained, investigative horror RPG and "weird tales" scenario set in 1970's New Guinea.  Funded via Kickstarter with the help of Chris Ayotte, Anthony DiNovo, and Greg Beck.

The system is simple.  No attributes, skills, or weapon stats to keep track of.  If you're playing an explorer, then you're the consummate explorer in the party.  If your character is an occultist or professor, same thing.  He'll have all the capabilities of that profession.  PCs will also be defined by their weaknesses - just like in real life (heightened for dramatic effect).  

The principal game mechanic is d6 dice pools.  It's a simplified, closer-to-the-real-world version of Crimson Dragon Slayer.

The adventure starts in and around Miskatonic University and quickly heads to Papua New Guinea... cause you know what they do there, right?  This isn't one of those dull scenarios where hardly anything happens.  In fact, The Outer Presence occasionally borders on "out there" without diving into full-on gonzo territory.  Eldritch pulp action-adventure probably sums it up best.

Welcome to Kort'thalis Publishing, where awesome is nine-tenths of the law!  The first stand-alone adventure is called A Green Jewel They Must Possess, available now.  Since then, I've come out with the scenario His Flesh Becomes My Key.

By His loathsome tentacles,

My partner bought this off Amazon recently.
Ran this last night as a oneshot.
The adventure was a lot of fun.
Went all out gonzo with it..
If the players made the roll then I let it happen.

The D6 system Venger uses for this. Is excellent definitely a solid
five aligned stars.
Ideal for a one shot. When your D.M has forgotten about something they have to do.
If you're looking for a Halloween RPG ....
Treat you and your mates to this.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
