Garden of Corda | Beyond the Silver Scream | Distress Signals by Space Penguin Ink
- SYSTEM: Troika!/Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG/Mothership
- PRODUCT TYPE: softcover supplements
- RETAIL PRICE: $15 each
- DESCRIPTION: Garden of Corda is a complete setting, pointcrawl, and supplement book. A giant’s heart, suspended in space with its protective rib cage barrier, is a treasure trove of varied medicinal plants. Unfortunately, the entire ecosystem is on the edge of collapse. The PCs band together with a group of fellow botanists, researchers, and scouts to explore and revitalize the dying landscape by trying to gather bottled lightning. They venture forth from the research outpost Mycereum into the tangled vines of the Living Maze, the pockmarked fields of the Sproutling Plains, and the Lost Ruins surrounding the dead giant’s heart. Beyond the Silver Scream is a hair-metal infused 0-level funnel in which the PCs are teenage punks fighting against an evil cult that has set up shop in their local multiplex. The PCs grab some quarters, find a weapon, and get ready to fight a cult. Includes: vicious devilspawn from the darkest pits of Hell, the evil Officiator who is master of ceremonies and chief sacrifice, the spirits of former sacrifices desperate for a second chance at life, abominations of melted flesh and muscle, and the Dimensional Dogs and their reality-warping magic. Distress Signals is a collection of five short adventures featuring mayday requests from various ships drifting in the harsh void of space. On the medical research vessel Chiron test subjects have lost their minds and taken control of the ship. Cargo ship Terus Maju is either in dire need of a new engine or it’s a trap set by hungry space pirates. Actual pirate ship LAS Prevenge is fresh from a raid on a terraforming vessel and desperate for rescue. The RMU Firebird is currently adrift and powerless in the path of an oncoming cloud of deadly space debris. The exploration ship Argosy contains a ravenous alien lifeform it brought back from its most recent mission.
