Tom brought back Elder Tunnels for Halloween this year and I wrote the intro, so I thought it would be fun to post it here too. I mean, nobody's buying this because they gotta get my silly introduction, so I'm pretty confident that I'm not costing Peryton any sales.
Introduction to Halloween 2019 Elder Tunnels follows the break:
Kickin' it Elderly School
Welcome back to the tunnels! New cracks have spread from those old familiar Tunnels with Trolls in them, burrowing right through the Crawlspace if you can Stay Alive long enough. And QAGS. I guess I could do something with "QAGSmire" or try to make duck calls scary, but I won't.
There might be some other games, too. Part of the new thing is that Elder Tunnels is looking to showcase all sorts of indie games. And yeah, traditionally, I suppose people read what's inside before introducing a book, but I'm waiting for the print version. Anyway, there's some great stuff in here. Probably.
The Halloween issues have always been the best part of Elder Tunnels. Even the in-between issues have a little bit of pumpkin spice in them, but the Halloween ones are special. It even says so on the cover!
It's hard to imagine anyone who plays role-playing games not being into Halloween. That's not just because everybody's kinda role-playing, but because Halloween is when reaching into the Dark, grabbing whatever you find, and taking it out for dinner is expected. When Halloween Season comes, the Dark is where you're supposed to go, not just something you drift into while you pretend you're working. That same secret abyss is where RP gamers go when they're delving into some fantastic imaginary world together.
Here's a few more dark tunnels for you and some friends to explore. I'm looking forward to checking them out, myself. Cheers!
