'Six Spells: Mythos' Released by Skirmisher!
“Mythos” is a word that evokes a certain ilk of horror that emphasize humanity’s utter isolation and inconsequence in a monstrous, unforgiving universe, in which things do go bump in the night and humans are the food or playthings of terrible entities.
Most of those initial stories came directly from author H.P. Lovecraft, but other writers of his era used the Mythos with his permission and put their own stamp on this subgenre of early 20th century horror. Accordingly, the spells that appear here were inspired not just by the tales Lovecraft, but also by the work of Clark Ashton Smith. They touch on the wrongness of reality, on the ability of cultists to bend and warp it, and on humanity’s blindness to these things.
This mini-publication contains six Mythos spells — Awaken Idol, Create Unholy Food and Water, Darklight Prism, Pass Flame, Reverse Staircase, and Summon Demonic Mason — compatible with any games using the OGL/d20 system.
Skirmisher Publishing is pleased to announce the release of “Six Spells: Mythos,” a mini-publication that can be used in conjunction with any OGL/d20 system RPGs! It is available for just 49¢ in the RPG Supplements section of the Skirmisher Publishing Shop.
“Mythos” is a word that evokes a certain ilk of horror that emphasize humanity’s utter isolation and inconsequence in a monstrous, unforgiving universe, in which things do go bump in the night and humans are the food or playthings of terrible entities.
Many early Mythos stories came directly from author H.P. Lovecraft but other writers of his era put their own stamps on this horror subgenre. Spells that appear in this publication — Awaken Idol, Create Unholy Food and Water, Darklight Prism, Pass Flame, Reverse Staircase, and Summon Demonic Mason — were therefore inspired not just by the tales of Lovecraft but also by the works of writers like Clark Ashton Smith. They all touch on the wrongness of reality, on the ability of cultists to bend and warp it, and on humanity’s blindness to such things.
