See Page XX – October 2018

October means just one thing; it’s Hallowe’en season, and we’ve got just the thing to get you into the horrific mood in the form of new release Hideous Creatures: A Bestiary of the Cthulhu Mythos. Weighing in at a hefty 352 pages in hardback form, this collection of traditional, and novel, creatures from Lovecraft has everything you need to get you through the month that’s in it. If you prefer your monsters more infernal, the PDF of the 13th Age Book of Demons is available alongside the print edition now. And if the jungles of Indochine are your idea of horror, the GUMSHOE conversion of Delta Green: The Role-Playing game, The Fall of DELTA GREEN, is also available in print and PDF format.
