Grindwheel Games Store on TeePublic
After the closure of our Shark Robot store, we have been searching for a new home for Grindwheel Game merchandise. I have been experimenting with Tee Public during the week, and have uploaded a number of items in new designs to the store:
I hope over the coming weeks I will be able to get art from every game up onto the page, but I am letting people know about this update now, while the items are still in the launch window sales.
At the moment I intend to put up the following for every book:
The full title and word art.
The game's unique logo.
The clean cover art.
Each of the General art pages.
In the future we can look into running polls to see what other artwork people would like to see from each book go into the store. In the meantime, please check out the currently available selection!
Posters Become Limited Edition
Unfortunate news - due to low sales of the posters on Shark Robot, they will sadly be removed from that storefront. I will be looking into finding a way to bring them back on another platform, if possible. But, as this will take time and it not a 100% certain thing, your best bet to get these high-quality prints is to jump in the store as soon as possible.
The posters will remain up until the end of the year, at which point they will no longer be available.
The TATTERED SAILS have been sighted on the horizon. Something unearthly moves through the fog like a ponderous colossi. The stars wheel overhead. Portents are bleak.
Can YOU stand against it?
Plunge into an investigation which sees you journey deep into The Grass Sea in search of treasure, only to find horror and death. This latest case has a lot of subtle pathways which can guide you to AN ending. But will it see the evil vanquished for good, or just sent back for a while? Only your choices can decide the outcome.
Happy Halloween!
Bug Fix - Good Pistol
The bonus to combat for finding the good pistol was not being activated as expected. This has been fixed now.
Minor Bug Fixes
Bug Fixes:
The health numbers on your character sheet were not updating as expected alongside the health boxes when you used medical supplies. This has been corrected.
Page 655 – the herbalist's herb shop – had a picture when it shouldn't to aid readability of the text. The image has been removed.
Grindwheel Games and Sanguine Productions 2: Abyss!
Grindwheel Games and Sanguine Productions have joined forces once again for their latest Kickstarter - Abyss! A supernatural pen-and-paper RPG in which you play heroes who fight terrible monsters from beyond the realm of nightmares.
The game's description is as follows:
"The world has secrets in remote corners. Horrors from out of time. Devils that are out for blood. Monsters that feed upon the helpless, in ways beyond mortal understanding. Only a select few have the knowledge or the power to fight the supernatural, and the responsibility to protect the innocent falls upon your shoulders.
But within every heart lurks a shadow. The forces that cultivate hate, that prey upon greed, that induce fear and terror... they are not just out there, they are within you. Can you fight with monsters without becoming one yourself?"
The project can be found here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sanguine/abyss-the-tabletop-rpg-of-supernatural-action-horror , and as part of the backing options you can pick to add one of the Grindwheel Games titles to your order as an extra. There are plenty of other stretch goals too, so please give them your support!
Spooky Tales for the Winter Sales!
As with last year, I will be posting a piece of short fiction and an unreleased page image in time for the holidays. From now on, however, this will happen with the Winter Sale, when all Grindwheel Game products can participate in the promotion. Please enjoy the story, and have a great holiday season!
These hellish lenses were crafted by the mad artificer Nimmud Timmus alongside many other devices which perverted the science of optics. These included the sinister Carnivore Mirror, and the infamous Doppelgänger Box.
Believed by experts to be one of his earlier works, the lenses were originally set into a featureless brass mask. The wearer would barraged by a series of visions, such as the Heavens, Hells and even External dimensions. Keeping the head perfectly still would allow the wearer to view one of these places continuously, but even the slightest movement would break the image apart into a kaleidoscope of fresh horrors.
As a result, scholars theorise that the lenses actually allow the viewer to pierce the veil between our reality, and whichever plane is targeted by the fiendish device. Factors such as the person's age, height, birth sign and current facing are all used to determine what they will see. Added to this the fact that even a millimetre's difference in placement and bearing will change what the wearer sees, means they are essentially useless as a reliable means of remote viewing.
At some point the lenses were removed from the mask and physically bolted to a woman's face. Her eyelids had been removed, and the space between her eyes and the glass filled with an alchemical mixture to keep them moist. She was then given paper and charcoal to draw what she saw. It is not known if she was a willing participant in this experiment, or a victim of malice.
Since her death during the Harrow's Gate Incident, the lenses were recovered and placed in storage in the Capital's forbidden archive to ensure they never again blight this world.
Grindwheel Games Posters Expansion!
As Red Ripper moves towards release, Shark Robot have added the front cover (The Forgotten Victim) to the list of Grindwheel Games posters and prints available now. The cover art for Vile Philosophy is still available, as are the covers for Pale Harbour and Blissful Ignorance.
