This project brings the [B]Bloodshadows[/B] setting to a new system, keeping all of the darkness and intrigue of a world where the things that go bump in the night bump up against the Law/Mob mythology of that period. This campaign will create the 150-page [B][I]Bloodshadows: Chronicles of Guf[/I][/B] core rulebook and the 100-page [B][I]Antagonists and Abominations[/I][/B], a bestiary to populate the dark corners of your world. If you are a fan of [B][I]Savage Worlds[/I][/B], horror, and noir, this is going to be a great mix.

[*][B]SYSTEM(S)[/B]: An original system [*][B]PROJECT TYPE[/B]: Complete game [*][B]MOST POPULAR PLEDGE[/B]: $30 + $7 US S/H for the PDF and print versions of the game [*][B]WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?[/B] Keeping with the hardboiled detective theme, in this game, you play a hardboiled detective, their partner, their flame, and their hat. The game is about the detective and his companions solving a case while the player acting as the hat narrates the detective’s thoughts on the affair. It allows you to detect and work, yet gives one player the option to add in the hardboiled voiceover. [“Egg’s thoughts on the game were as useful as the ‘Baby Shark’ song lyrics translated into Middle English.”] It’s GMless and diceless opting for cards that direct the investigation. If you’re looking for a four-player game, this one has a lot of potential.

In addition, there’s an interview with Glynn Seal of [B]Monkey Blood Designs[/B]. If you need an RPG magazine with a track record of a dozen prior issues, try this one out.
