powergame, don't powerlame

Hello! As I have teased a few times before I will be holding a Kickstarter for my wilderness-horror RPG book “Into the Wyrd and Wild” Of which, the Kickstarter will be launching Monday, December 3.

Those of you who were there for the World War Occult Kickstarter know I like to do a little something whenever I promote one of my books; namely, giving out free shit.

So, from now until Monday, December 3, reblog this post for a chance to win some prints, a free copy of Into the Wyrd and Wild’s bestiary in PDF form, and original art by me!

The Rules

Reblog this post from now until Monday, December 3

Multiple reblogs WILL be counted.

On Tuesday, December 4 5:00PM ET three individual winners will be randomly selected and announced.

One winner will be selected to receive a series of three 8x11″ prints of art from the book.

One winner will be selected to receive a PDF of Into the Wyrd and Wild’s bestiary.

Finally, the grand prize, one winner will be selected to receive a commissioned painting of a character or monster of their design and choosing.

So reblog and spread the word for a chance to win some cool shit and also help me spread the word about Into the Wyrd and Wild! 

Continue to check this post for updates as the time draws closer and make sure to check out the link below to the Kickstarter page once it goes live this MONDAY, DECEMBER 3.

Hey all! For those who have been following “into the Wyrd and Wild,” I am happy to announce I’m on the home stretch of getting this book finished!

What started as a simple 100 page supplement for those looking to spice up their adventures with more “wilderness-horror,” has exploded into a 240 page tome on everything from monsters, rules, spells, rituals, diseases, hazards, flora, and items. 

So, in honor of this I will be tossing out free spoilers of my favorite bits for you all to enjoy!

Please be sure to reblog and follow if you want to see more, and be sure to check out the website for updates on the Kickstarter December 2018!

Ah yes, the bard. The only class that can yell Monty Python quotes and have it do damage

The final Great Old One (for now, hopefully) is finally upon us! I didn’t actually hold Ithaqua back for any particular reason, it just sort of… Ended up that way. I don’t have anything against the progenitor of the Wendigo (or so he claims to be), but someone had to be in last place and it couldn’t rightfully be Cthulhu since he was our first Milestone Monster!

In many ways, Ithaqua fights in a manner similar to a much beefier Wendigo, in that it will usually torment its foes from afar with foul weather (at-will Mythic Control Weather), driving winds (at-will Mythic Gust of Wind), and horrific nightmares as it pushes them to the brink of desperation and madness. Only when a group has turned on one another and the majority of them are dead or broken will Ithaqua march in and take his pick from the “litter,” carrying a chosen victim high into the skies and releasing them only when they’ve succumbed to Wendigo Psychosis, dropping them in remote parts of the world to complete their transformation.

Simply being within 300ft of Ithaqua forces people to save versus his vastly empowered Wendigo Psychosis each round until they either leave the radius or become contaminated. This is the first half of his Unspeakable Presence, which isn’t much use if he finds himself in direct conflict with someone, as the Psychosis triggers its Wisdom drain only once an hour. It’s useful for the hit-and-run games he likes to play, but should a group of powerful foes manage to pin him in place and prevent him from using his at-will Wind Walk or Dimension Door, they’ll find out he’s just as good at hitting as he is running.

The Giant Mimr

Led by his zeolots Mimr goes around collecting the weak and beaten ones left behind on the battlefield to add them to his entourage. If someone is foolish enough to resist or attack him he’ll crush them mercilessly.

“The soldiers don’t fear the battle and the fight. They fear to be left behind. Lost in the endless fields of death until he arrives. They would rather embrace death than be found by him and his zealots.”

I took part in this years ArtWar Challenge over at cubebrush.com. It was a blast to work alongside so many hard working artists on my little character. If you like follow me on facebook and twitter: https://www.facebook.com/axel.sauerwaldhttps://twitter.com/AxelSauerwald

What fools walks these pox’d rocks where stalks the Jabberwocks?

The First Of The Tane was the mighty Jabberwock, a draconic creature of such terrible power that it managed to kill one of the Eldest, feat never performed before or since. So great was the threat it represented that the Eldest threw aside their differences and banded together to create a weapon of even more terrifying implication to try and slay it: The Vorpal Sword. A champion, whose identity is lost to (or perhaps erased from) history, was chosen to wield the Sword and clashed with the Jabberwock, their battle so fierce that each exchange of blows tore the First World apart. The final clash of claw and blade between the two fighters slew both combatants, and though the fall of the first and most powerful of the Tane signaled an end to a long and bloody war between the Eldest, its death was unfortunately not the last anyone would ever see of it.
