Caves of Hopelessness

From the Nomadic Delirium Press Blog:

Towns near the hills have been raided recently by a very organized group of bandits. They’ve abducted citizens, and taken property from the small towns that are unable to defend themselves. Your party has been combing the hills looking for these bandits, and maybe now you’ve gotten the break you need.

Caves of Hopelessness is an adventure for the Rocks on the Other Side RPG designed for characters of 4^th-6^th levels.

Tales from ProMart

J Alan Erwine has been publishing science fiction short stories for more than a quarter of a century, and it all began with a story sale to ProMart. For many years after that, ProMart regularly published his works. Now, all of those early stories are gathered together in one collection to celebrate ProMart and its publisher, James B. Baker.

Tribute collections

As I get older, I find myself looking back on life more than I'm looking forward. Maybe it's not just age. Maybe it's also the world we live in. Like so many people in America, my family is struggling financially right now, and things don't seem to be looking like they'll be getting better for us, or for anyone else.

But, anyway, back to getting old and looking back. I've been looking back on some of my short stories that started things off for me, and I've decided to put a couple of collections together of those stories. If you already have my Tales of the Unknown, then you've already read these stories, but if you haven't picked up that collection yet (and why haven't you, I might ask), I'll be releasing collections that look back at my ProMart stories and my Ultimate Unknown stories. Both were small press publishers that really helped to launch my career. They both picked up many of my stories, and I don't know where I would be without them.

So, you can look forward to two more collections from me very soon. If you're a paying patron at https://www.patreon.com/cw/jalanerwine/home, then you'll be getting these books just for helping me out financially.

For thousands of years, the dragons lay hidden in the dark places where humans never ventured. As they watched humanity rise, the dragons grew more and more fearful, and did more and more to conceal themselves and avoid the evils of humanity. Now, in the middle of what the humans call their 21st century, humanity has fallen into ruin, and the dragons have decided that now is the time for their return.

Play as your favorite species of dragon, and decide whether you will help humanity after its failure, or will you further the downfall of humanity. Dragons have nine attributes, including magic and psionics, and can gain special abilities to further strengthen their goals…whatever those goals might be…

The universe is a vast melting pot of cultures and, naturally, cuisines. In zero gravity, imagine interstellar food competitions, culinary diplomacy, or cooking challenges. Stories that involve alien delicacies, the search for rare space ingredients, and the cultural significance of food in a futuristic setting.

There's also a touch of revenge to be had at the dining table. Bon appetit?
