John Scott Tynes: Transubstantiating the aether since 1995
by John Scott Tynes
October 9, 2013

Got five bucks? The latest issue of my magazine The Unspeakable Oath is available now as a PDF.

Editor and Re-Animator Shane Ivey has assembled another great issue but the centerpiece is absolutely “Cold Dead Hand,” a fifty-page Delta Green adventure by my dear friend Adam Scott Glancy.

It’s a brilliant scenario set during the coup against Mikhail Gorbachev. The investigators are Soviet special forces sent to a remote arctic nuclear missile base where things are . . . amiss. Scott has really worked his magic with this adventure and your gaming group will love this experience.

Five bucks! TUO23! Check it out!

As the clock ticked down on the Unknown Armies ebook bundle we decided to blow up the universe and reconstitute it exactly as it was before except with one key difference: we extended the deadline on the bundle!

http://bundleofholding.com/

Well over a thousand people have bought our game in the last few days, which is thrilling.

I’d like to share what may be the most influential six minutes of my entire creative life, a scene that electrified me in the movie theater as a kid and that did so much to inform my writing style and creative work.

Ladies and gentlemen, it was Jonathan Pryce and Jason Robards, in the library, with mortality.

We’ve started our final day of the Unknown Armies ebook bundle and it’s been a phenomenal success. We’ve raised $1,500 for two great charities — Reading is Fundamental and a homeless shelter that Greg Stolze volunteers at — and gotten a lot of people to check out Unknown Armies.

To bring this home we’ve added another book to the base bundle. For five bucks you now get the UA rulebook, the One Shots scenario anthology, *and* Greg Stolze’s awesome UA novel, Godwalker.

Of course, if you pay more than the average pay-what-you-want price you’ll also get four more UA books. Currently that will cost you about fourteen bucks, which is an awesome deal for $87 worth of transcendental horror-action.

And speaking of Unknown Armies . . . before it was an RPG, it was a comic book called The New Inquisition. I’ve dug into my archives and produced a sixty-page PDF that tells the tale, including never-before-seen character sketches and finished comic-book pages drawn by the brilliant Brian Snoddy. It’s a free special feature for Unknown Armies fans and you can download it now from Atlas Games.

Before there was Unknown Armies, there was an idea for a comic book called The New Inquisition that never came to be.

Our pay-what-you-want Unknown Armies ebook bundle just got better.

For the base price of five bucks you get the complete UA rulebook plus One Shots, our starter collection of ready-to-run one-off scenarios with pre-made characters. One Shots includes Greg Stolze’s legendary Jailbreak which has become a convention classic.

If you pay more than the current average purchase, you get UA and One Shots plus the sourcebooks Break Today and Statosphere, the scenario anthology Weep, and the epic campaign To Go.

It’s a great deal that just got better. I hope you take a look.

I played Golem Arcana at PAX and it’s really impressive. Jordan Weisman has a track record better than maybe anybody else in tabletop games and I have no doubt he’ll hit this one out of the park.

Golem Arcana combines miniatures with mobile technology to deliver a tabletop game that's easy to learn and fast to play.

My friend and colleague Chris Pramas is publishing an anthology of new dark fantasy stories by seventeen authors, one of whom is me. It’s a benefit project to raise money for Chris’s spinal surgery, which includes the implantation of a piece of bone from a human cadaver. (Science!) There are a lot of terrific writers involved including Robin D. Laws, Matt Forbeck, Jess Lebow, James Wallis, and may more. It should be a great book. Please take a look.

The Providence Athenaeum Library is now the home for this beautiful bronze bust of the town’s most squamous son, H.P. Lovecraft. Congratulations to Bryan Moore for making this happen and sculpting such a great depiction of the old gentleman. And I’m very proud to see my name on the big bronze plaque of patrons. Happy birthday, Howard.
