| | Ham & Egg PublishingA Dark Double Feature is LIVE on BackerKit |
|
|
|---|
|
Ahoy! Today is the day when my Dark Double Feature launches on BackerKit!
Ham & Egg Publishing joins forces with prolific TTRPG writer Levi Combs to bring you a dark double feature designed for use with Shadowdark RPG. Two adventures. Two flavors of horror. One unforgettable campaign.
If Of a Harmonious Nature was written to be the best parts of an A24 film in the Hammer Horror style, then Nothing Left to Lose is SAW in H.H. Holmes’ Murder Castle. This is horror with range: slow dread and frenzied ritual on one side, desperate survival in absolute darkness on the other.
Back the project at a physical tier within the first 48 hours and receive a FREE glow-in-the-dark mini of Prastr-Vem, the big bad from a harmonious nature. |  | | |

To celebrate the launch of our BackerKit for the Dark DoubleFeature, I put together a killer crew for a one-night-only live play. Join Joey Royale, Brian”Neon Lord” Shutter, R.Alex Murray, and a couple of other very special guests as we run through Of A Harmonious Nature.
LIVE on the Sewer RatsYouTubee. 8 pm EST, Tuesday, April 21st.

Get Haunted Industries You Like-a Da Pizza? I Got Da Pizza! |  | Look at you! You look great. Why don’t you stop by Joey Royale’s Pizza Party on Wednesday, April 22nd, at 8 pm EST on the Sewer Rats Inc. YouTube channel? For the uninitiated, some pals and I talk about RPGs, comics, toys, movies, and chicken cutlets.
Our April edition is one for the ages. We got Chuck from Dark Future, one of the premier brick-and-mortar (and online) game stores that goes out of its way to support true indie gaming. Our old pal Ian McGarty is stopping by for his insane new game “Bad Mother Cluckers: Pollo Lucha Edicion”– yup, chicken fights! Last and certainly not least, I am honored to have Henry Richardson of Richardson Games, creator of Deathblow, one of the major inspirations that got me into writing zines. Deathblow is a real gem and deserves way more attention. From Henry’s site:
In Deathblow, you roleplay Gang Warriors in a concrete wasteland known as Reaper City. Marauding gangs stalk the night, cruising streets & highways in search of their next target. While in dark lairs lie the city’s hidden rulers – The Innersanctum – a court of powerful Houses & lords, each with an army of contract killers & gang warriors at their command.
Check out this video for crying out loud! |  |

Tiger Wizard Ripping the flesh for OSE Month |  | Demons are coming to Old-School Essentials in May. That’s right, in the way only Backerkit knows how, there will be a full month of collaborative crowdfunding projects focusing on all things demonic.
I’ll be joining forces with the incredibly talented Donn Stroud to bring our horrific vision of the demon on the rise, Arakmadt, the Skin Collector, to life. Bloody, flayed, painful life. Oh, yuck! Look at that guy. All shriveled up from wearin’ a buncha skins! He’s a gross wizard who wants to be a Demon. |  | Arakmadt must collect the flayed skins of willing supplicants to add to his songbook. Only then will he ascend to true Demonhood. It’s a skin-ripping, flesh-tearing, blood-drenched demonic “good time.” |
|
|
|---|
|
 | Adventurers will descend into the Butchered Realm, decide who to rescue and who to ally with, and find a way back to their normal lives.
This’ll be a hardback book-style book.
If you love Hellraiser, Silent Hill, etc., you’ll probably enjoy this disgusting adventure! |
|
|

|
Click below to sign up! We’ll make sure your name is added to the list of supplicants, and the servants of Arakmadt the SKINTAKER will come to collect your skin!
I hope you’ll join Donn and me on this meaty quest.
Cheers
