πŸŽ‰ What We Made Together

Collaboration makes everything more fun.

Edit


Charged with infiltrating the isle's Old Wharf district, eliminating the Shoreculler leadership and scuttling their boat - the Dead Man's Wake - adventurers quickly discover there's far more to the marauders than meets the eye.

With a focus on swashbuckling environmental combat, devastating firepower and lurking horrors beneath the waves, Scuttle! puts Lovecraftian horrors back to back with fearsome gunpowder-fuelled pirates!
Edit


  • Battle with gunsmoke pirates and monstrosities of the deep, statted out for both 5E DnD and Pathfinder Second Edition!

  • Uncover the secrets of worshipping Father Dagon and Mother Hydra, the great and powerful gods of the deep whose touch on the isle has left marks to this day...

  • Swing from rafters, clash swords and spit fire with new swashbuckling rules, giving new depth to any environment!

  • Explore the isle of Fogbrooke's Old Wharf, learning eerie rumours about the island town's strange past as you free it from pirate control!

Along with that comes a range of early gunpowder firearms, artillery and enchanted weapons of the deep all designed to bring the Shoreculler pirates to life - and to give players a new range of tools with which to cast them out!

I have seen it, a great and terrible depth in the beneath. Vast cliffs of carved obsidian lashed by the surf of a lightless ocean. Speak not of what lies below, for it may one day rise to claim the world we know...

We're excited to announce a cross-collaboration with Vralkast - Monstrous Metropolis!

If both campaigns hit their funding goal, we'll be producing a miniature of the Great Olm, the vast and enigmatic salamander dragons occupying the world of the underrealm whose whispers and haunting songs have brought terror and fascination to crews sailing the inky oceans of the beneath.

If you back both projects at the Digital level you'll receive a the Siren Song adventure PDF designed for both the Vralkast and Fogbrooke settings alongside a custom miniature STL file of the aforementioned Great Olm miniature! Physical-tier supporters of both will receive the full 3D-printed model!

Born out of a school tabletop club a decade ago and buried neck-deep in the morass of cosmic horror, Moon Beast Games & XWC Miniatures have produced a spree of miniatures inspired by the horrors of the Lovecraftian realm alongside a set of adventures set to breathe new life into old eldritch bones. With a long-standing interest in the piratical and monstrous, Scuttle! is the next step in the strange ventures surrounding Fogbrooke Isle.

Chris Foley: Our writer based out of Coventry (or Kent, when the winds change) with a long-standing obsession with the weird and eerie. GMing and playing in various RPGs from Pathfinder to Paranoia for about ten years now, Chris can usually be found knee deep in Lovecraftian horror, whether at events or at home.

Ed Morris: Our miniature designer, layout artist and illustrator currently based on remote haunted isle of Anglesey! Our GM for at least a decade now, creator of our whole model range and the mind behind how our books actually look, Ed's design work has saved us more than a few times!

Hells, it's got a-hold of me!

Backers who pledge at the Physical or Captain's Lot tiers within the first 48 hours will receive a miniature of the Outhouse Mimic from our 'Aargh-dy-Loo!' encounter, complete with an inconspicuous outhouse to disguise it with!
