Ah shit, did you use the Click and Drop PDDP option? I've only sent 1 or 2 recently, dreading opening things back up if they'll start getting returned

Did you know the Apocalypse was multiple choice?

Secular:

Cascadia subduction earthquake
Global pandemic
Mutually assured destruction
Catastrophic impact event
Technological collapse (Y2K)

Or Uncanny:

Eschatological rapture
The Day of Judgement
Ragnarok
The Sleeper awakens
The World Adrift

Midnight of the Century is the next TTRPG from By Odin's Beard RPG, following on from Runecairn.

If you're excited about recreating the feeling of watching your favourite occult serial killer movies and TV shows from the '90s, like Millennium, Twin Peaks, and Silence of the Lambs, read on!

Ah, fair! There's likely a way to filter the search but I don't know my way around the interface enough to manage that

Have you checked out the Internet Archive? Looks like they've got a fair whack of them digitised.

This documentary is a perfect accompaniment to Midnight of the Century, focusing on horror films from the mid to late '90s. Covers many of the inspirations for my serial killer investigation #TTRPG!

The In Search of Darkness series is an awesome watch for horror fans.

The Red Ink Frontier Scum and Tides of Rot LP are OUTSTANDING. A last chance to grab these!

Games Omnivorous @gamesomnivorous.bsky.social · 1d

I just found a lost parcel in the warehouse containing Frontier Scum corebook, the Red Ink version of the rulebook and Tides of Rot LP. The first two are sold out. If anyone wants it, DM me please.

Colin Le Sueur @byodinsbeardrpg.com · 1d

There's additional features in the studio version that are handy but geared more toward professional editors and colour graders. You can absolutely do amazing stuff with the standard version.

It's so good, even the free version.

I think of every connection as a point where things could go wrong with delays or cancellations. You're more likely to experience that with the train than the flight, realistically. Check Newcastle or Teesside as well, good connections through Amsterdam.
