Its a free preview with some in character narration. Doesn't hurt to download, but don't expect an in depth dive on rules.

Very interesting enemy type. Reminds me a lot of the entity from Dr Who's Midnight episode. The type of creature whose threat isn't being attacked by it, but by just talking to it.

The Doppelganger is a very versitile statblock with a variety of example versions. It kind of feels like an NPC version of an Accursed Family. The variety of them make me wish they had a player version.

My favorite of the Curseborne Tasty Bit antagonists. The dynamic of how they shift in power based on whether they are feeding from a host or not leads to an antagonist who is difficult to kill, but not impossible. Based on the rules I think if you can get the being to hop at least 3 hosts it'll starve to death.
I can draw parallels to Its a Wonderful Life, where the Angel Clarence is actual a parasite that wants its victim to enjoy their "new life" and leave them to die in the real world.

Really enjoy this antagonist type. Comes complete with a scenario to use them in.
I love the idea of an enemy that gets more powerful as they are allowed to stay alive. And the fact that they aren't concious of the damage they cause creates even more of a moral dilema in how to deal with them.

LIke the unique fantasy setting. Love the use of the Storypath Ultra system.
I really want to play this as it reminds me of Survival Based RPGs like Dark Sun.

Useful for in person games if you print them off. Nice to have, but not necessary. I kind of wish each one was split into seperate files so I could purchase only the ones I need.

Great introduction to the Storypath and Storypath Ultra systems. I'd recommend it for people who interested in dipping their toes into Onyx Path's games and for a nice pallette cleanser for those who are already fans of their games.
My favorite section here is They Came from the Billiard Room with the Candlestick! which is a Murdery Mystery game wherein there are abilities that really feel like I'm in a Who Dun It? murdery mystery. If you have friends who like Escape Rooms or Murder Mystery games this may be a great gateway to RPGs if they aren't into them already.

Highly suggest checking this out if you like Spy fiction, games, and media. I'm surprised by how much of this game is real life stuff like a Russian clandestine agency that's acronymn sounds like a sneeze.

If you like Campy Fantasy movies, I highly recommend this game.

Just a demo, Kickstarter will be around October 2024, I appreciate seeing Onyx Path returning to Urban Horror. I really like the insight into the game's world. Comes with 4 pre-gens and a small adventure to get sense of what the game is. I can't wait to play it!
Only downside is it doesn't have the Sorcerer rules, but given they'd likely have to add a bunch of pages which would just reprint a large amount of spells.
Since it uses Storypath Ultra I image people who own other Storypath games could try to prologue the adventure a bit more by adding The World Below or At the Gates NPCs to help extend gameplay, but we will have to wait for the full release to see everything.
Minor spoilers:
- Contains antagonist rules for Drones (Mortals that have been fed on too much), Zombies, and a cursed location which isn't a lot but glad to see.

A $5 introduction to At the Gates which includes some (but not all) the basics of the system and setting. It gives me a good snippet of what will be a game I'd love to run.
Only issue is I wish I could see what characters look like, but since this is a preview and not a finished product it just makes me hyped for when we finally get to see some artwork when the kickstarter goes live.

I really enjoyed this module. Great introduction to TC Assassins and it gives the scenario that isn't just a straight forward assassination.

Comes with 10 virtual tabletop tokens based on artwork in the MTC 2e book, including transparent pngs for use with Roll20 or other VTT. Problem I have is that for $1 you only get 10, whereas with the Contagion Chronicle VTT tokens you get 48.
Its only $1 USD, but considering how there is more artwork in MTC 2e that could have been used to pad out the number of tokens I'd not recommend it in its current state. If you don't mind tossing $1 at 10 tokens instead of the 48 tokens with the Contagion Chronicle VTT tokens from the same company maybe it is for you.
