Or why now is the perfect time to lend your support...
Crowdfunding is going on until May 15, 2025 at 10:00 AM PDT. https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/space-penguin-ink/liminal-horror-deluxe-edition
As we near the finish line we wanted to highlight all the things you are getting by backing the Liminal Horror Deluxe Edition (and what things we may be able to unlock right before we cross that finish line).
Deluxe Edition
This is the main event of course, and is the major draw for the campaign. We aimed to create the ultimate horror rpg toolkit and I can confidently say we delivered in that regard. In the book we have:
- The Investigators Guide (the core rules, expanded since we have the space and with the new addition of Rituals, our revamped magic system).
- Facilitator Guide (a collection of essays, tools, procedures aimed at helping Facilitators run and create for Liminal Horror).
- Catalog of the Strange (our take on a bestiary, this 130 page chapter catalogs the different factions, cults, horrors, magic items, and weird NPCs for your Liminal Horror games).
- The Haunted Pacific Northwest (a campaign framework that ties the different modules together and gives you locations and investigation threads to help create campaigns with).
- Appendices (a collection of 20 appendices that include optional rules, expanded resources, supplements, tables, reference aides and tools to help you when running and planning your games. This includes the Generic Locations appendix that has modern day maps keyed and ready to go).
What you get when you back in addition to the Deluxe Edition
We wanted to design all the stretch goals to really support you bringing Liminal Horror to the table, so each stretch goal and offering had optimizing the value for backers in mind. For $20 you can back the digital only tier and get digital copies of all the good stuff!
- Three adventures have been unlocked for the main book: We blew through the first set of stretch goals and so we were able to unlock all the planned adventures we wanted to put into the book.
- Camp Coldwater: Our take on a summer camp slasher, this prequel adventure sets up The Bloom as you play campers trying to survive the night as a fungal flesh hydra consumes and integrates your friends.
- Cult Classic: A social/party adventure that has the party infiltrate a film premier party at the home of a famous director that also happens to be in The Cult of Celestial Science (in hopes of locating a missing actress. Can you find her and save her from whatever doomed fate this cult has planned for her?
- Silent Street Station: This is a fun one as it is written to leverage the funnel rules presented in the book. It also shows how the generic locations can be used to create an adventure. Panopticon (an evil megacorp) has had one of their experiments get out, and now the resonant dead are infecting and spreading their way through a subway system (that you all happen to trapped in).
- Case Files 01 was unlocked! This means digital backers get the pdf, and physical backers get a zine added to their bundle at no extra cost. Case Files is our version of Carcass Crawler (for OSE), a semiannual zine that collects addition content and short adventures. Case Files 01 includes:
- Two Adventures: Recursive Transit (a time loop adventure on a train that has been expanded and with added LH rules and content) alongside the phenomenal Zach Hazard adventure The Chair.
- Documentary Mode (a new setup and rules for having the investigators be a documentary crew).
- Some new Horrors for your games.
- More Rituals (our take on magic).
- PDF Adventure Bundle Unlocked! This means every backer gets digital pdf copies of all the official modules. So alongside the deluxe edition and case files they get The Bloom, The Mall, The Bureau, One Night at the Shelterwood Inn, and The Parthenogenesis of Hungry Hollow.
So for as little as $20 (digital backing) you will the deluxe edition alongside of six zines/books full of adventure content. When you pair that with the almost 250 items on the Liminal Horror Library, you'll never run out of modern horror to play.
But what else can we unlock?
One of the really cool things is that in these last few days we have saved some of the best stretch goals, just in case we are able to hit those marks.
- "Einfühlung", a Haunted House Starter Adventure: At $120k we will unlock the pdf for everyone, and $150k we will include a printed zine for all physical backers. This new starter adventure will take a party through a few modes of play, investigating a strange occurrence and then hitting a point where everything breaks bad. The framing is a missing artist who's home is filled with strange and sometimes upsetting pieces of art that seem almost otherworldly. Can the new party figure out what happened to the artist while also being able to make it out of the house alive?
- The Bureau Remastered: At $180k we will unlock the pdf for everyone, and $210k we will include a printed zine for all physical backers. This Remaster looks to bring The Bureau back into print, giving it some updates that mirror those done in The Mall Remastered. We will be adding some pages of content, updating some of the procedures, and expanding on some areas in the original zine.
We're excited to bring this to the community (both old and new members) and really believe this is something special. We are deep in the layout for the pdf/book, and are putting the finishing touches on a few of the stretch goals. We launched this campaign with the text complete and through editing, and have been super excited about how it is all coming together.
We wanted to make sure that no matter what level you back, you will be getting a ton of content for your horror tables.
