From something I am working on:

Kathontho crept slowly through Maintenance Hall 12. As the lowest-ranking electrical technician, he’d been sent down to investigate a report of power fluctuations. And it seemed he’d found them. The emergency lights were flickering on and off, resulting in a pale blue strobe effect. Elsewhere in the hall, it was shadowed darkness.

Pulling the flashlight off his belt and turning it on, Kathontho panned a circle of white light across the hallway. It was empty. He moved forward, looking for the service station. Hopefully he could reset systems and get back to the upper decks, where there were working lights and people.

A sudden movement caught his eye, causing his ears to fold back even tighter against his skull. A black shape, formless and even darker than the shadows, moved along the floor. It paused at a cluster of power conduits, audibly snuffling. As Kathontho’s flashlight beam passed over it, the shape seemed to recoil, then stood. It was toweringly tall, filling the hallway, and seemed almost a void in which light vanished. The head was skeletal, the eyes burning dots, with branching horns projecting from the mane.

Kathontho’s blood went cold as the shape looked at him.

“GET OUT.”

Kathontho got.

A Surbrook Press product from award-winning author Michael "The Professor" Surbrook.

I am also working on Old School Enemies. I have slowly completing the first pass, in which I export each character sheet from Hero Designer, format them in Apple Pages, and fill out the origin text, design notes, and the trivia section.

Once this is done, I will do a second pass to ensure accuracy. Then it will go out to Jason for layout and publication.

I need to do something with this. Perhaps as a free Surbrook Press product. A fissure in which the arms of the restless dead seek to drag you down to them?

I love it.

WHAT IS SURBROOK PRESS UP TO?

Read and find out!

First, Surbrook Press attended…

TACTICON 2024

I went to Tacticon to play games and got a chance to try

ALIEN — I played a scenario set on Hadley’s Hope before the events of the Aliens movie. While I didn’t survive scenario, we did get Newt, her brother, and her mom off planet.

MOTHERSHIP — My second try of the Mothership RPG went much better than my first try. I find the game interesting, although potentially lethal. I managed to survive about 90% of the scenario before falling victim to the monster right before the game ended.

OUTGUNNED — Outgunned appears to be an attempt to replicate Hollywood action movies as an RPG. Personally, I feel it doesn’t do anything Feng Shui II doesn’t already does do. It also struck me that you can’t run (for example) Big Trouble in Little China so I am not sure I am going to look into it further.

PROWLERS & PARAGONS: Her Majesties’ Rakes and Scoundrels — This variant of P&P interested me, but sheer exhaustion caused me to drop out early. Since I went to my room and slept for two hours, I think I needed the rest.

PROWLERS & PARAGONS: The Graveyard Shift — I had heard good things about this game so I had to try it, and had a great time. There were only three of us, but it didn’t matter, as the GM adjusted the game on the fly.

PROWLERS & PARAGONS: The Well of the Worlds — yes, I played in a game based on my own setting. And once again, I had a great time. I kept my mouth shut and let everyone else experience the scenario. I also learned some ways to improve the game when I run it, so I certainly need to try it out in the future.

Now, on to Surbrook Press work on products!

First, I sent a Prowlers & Paragons NPC/villain over to Bill Keyes and Harmless Forest Creature Games. He liked the character and it should appear (eventually) in a future Blood & Justice product.

I talked to Jason about Strike Force Organizations and he told me it is in layout. Progress slow is due to the number of character sheets (to be fair, there are a lot). Hopefully it will come out before winter.

I am also working (slowly) in the Fantasy Hero product The Kingdom of Grischun. Progress is slow mostly due to the fact I am considering the magic system and how to present it. I want to get that down before progressing on the rest. I also intend to send Jason content so he can present it to the Hero Games Pateron backers.

I am also working on a second HERO System product. This is Old School Enemies. The idea is to take all of the villain NPCs from Champions 1st Edition, Enemies, Enemies II, and Enemies III, and migrate them to 6th Edition. I have revised the character presentation format several times, but am satisfied with what I have come up with and am now entering characters into Hero Designer, exporting them, and then creating their new character sheets. Be ware there a lot of characters to be developed, so this product will take some time.

If you like the idea of Old School Enemies and would want to see other products collecting old villains and updating to 6th Edition, contact Jason over at Hero Games website.

As for other products —

VOICE of Doom for 6th Edition Champions is up on DTRPG (and the Hero Games store). You can find it here:

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/491552/voice-of-doom-hero-6e

I am also slowly collecting art for my next product — an expansion on the M’Larrne product. More NPCs, gear, vehicles, and starships! I am also considering and working on more ideas for the M’Larrne, including some galactic heroes and possible fantasy characters. For you P&P fans, I will migrate the content over in due time. I also will see about Savage Worlds as well.
