Mark Della-Croce, product lead of Lore Link, here to talk to you about all the cool things going on this spooky month!
First of all, over on our Twitch channel we’ve been delving into the spooky and mysterious with a series of fun streams. First of all, at the end of September, the Lore Link players braved the horrors of the wasteland to finish the Fallout Quickstart adventure, “Machine Frequency.” Next, Mike and I faced the grim darkness of the future forever war of Warhammer 40k, trying out Owlcat’s Rogue Trader. I then looked into Kids on Bikes 2nd Edition, an excellent supernatural adventure TTRPG. I talked about how to use Lore Link to record your Session Zero notes in order to best use Kids on Bikes’ excellent GM toolkit, keeping your players involved and having fun. And just recently, one of our Lore Link players and excellent Twitch streamer twenty20sight took over the stream to continue her playthrough of Darkest Dungeon, the Mythos-inspired dungeon crawler. If you missed those, no fear, all our streams are archived on our YouTube channel!
The rest of this month will continue the Halloween theme, with a look at the Alien-inspired TTRPG Mothership next week (10/22/24). If you’ve ever wanted a true science fiction horror game, with high stakes, terrifying science, and the scariest evil of all: corporate greed, you won’t want to miss this one. Then to end the month, the Lore Link Players are getting together to face down the horrors of space capitalism in the hilarious, appropriately named Lethal Company.
As a reminder, our free account of Lore Link continues if you haven’t already had a chance to sign up. You’ll immediately gain access to Lore Link, giving you the ability to create up to two different campaigns, and try out creating all the Locations, Events, and NPCs you might need for your game. You can then organizing them into Sessions and Timelines and linking them together, giving you the ability to quickly and easily navigate all of that complicated and twisted Lore you’ve been putting together. Go here to register today, and try putting in that amazing Halloween Horror one-shot you’ve been thinking about!
And for those of you who backed our Kickstarter, you’ll soon see a notification here indicating that Player Sharing is available for our backers in Early Access. We’re wrapping up QA and hope to have a release cut shortly. As a reminder, this feature will enable you to share campaigns with your friends with any level of Lore Link account (even the free World Tier accounts!) and be able to share Lore in your campaign with them. If you want to see it in action, check out this livestream where I used it to share Lore for my Starfinder 2E playtest game!
Alright, the ghosts of TTRPGs past are getting noisier and noisier, so I have to placate them with old-school Tomb of Horror games. Till next time, may your horrific twists be unexpected and your dread be inescapable!
