That's ME as in "first-person objective pronouns" not ME as in "Maine."

If you enjoyed Barrow Keep, the next stretch goal is an alternate setting from ME about the wolf-marked of the Barrow Keep world.

Ran a playtest last night and holy fuck, y'all: My nearly forgotten North/West Texas accent just came barreling out of my mouth, and now it won't go away.

I almost said, "Every designer knows this trot," but then I'd feel like a Doc Tingle impersonator.

By "discuss," I mean "play," but y'all knew that, right?

They're sorta perfect for Texas homes because they all have attics and no basements, and basements in Texas (beyond possibly a small fruit cellar) are super rare.

Suburban Dallas had whole neighborhoods assembled from kit homes planned, packed, and assembled by real estate companies like Fox & Davis, but I didn't discover mail order homes until I played in a Rich Rogers haunted house game set in one.

If you're making 20th century horror adventures in weird town and suburb locales, these are a fucking goldmine. Not only for homes that might have been built from a Sears Kit, but for basic small-town US architecture.

"ePub?" you gasp! "But ePubs are boring!" I assure you, my ePub formatting skills have gotten much better.
comment in response to post
The new PDF & ePub versions also include "Another Man after Midnight" from @marygeorgescu.com and "Queen Maeve's Carnival Ride" from @cameraobscura83.bsky.social.

"But Richard," you say, "Roseville Beach isn't on the Dreamation schedule!" "My child," I respond, "the true schedule is the place where your need to play Roseville Beach meets my desire to run a game for the GoD-style Sparks program. Come and find me."
comment in response to post
There's links to the main book and the Roseville Beach Zine Series, some recurring NPCs, a new job for just one housemate, and even a new Origin Story: The Sybil. (I'll be adding a Sybil to the pregen set I use at Dreamation this weekend.)

Next up, I added a chapter with further details on The Culture Hotel, aka, the Cult. It details letting housemates live at the Cult (instead of a bungalow), the four pricey rooms named for the mysterious owner's lost loves, the strange fifth "nightmare room," and the visitors and residents.
