UNLOCKED: the OST has arrived! / Shout-out: Erebus Mythos
5 months ago – Thu, Oct 23, 2025 at 06:23:29 AM

The OST = unlocked!

Hell. Yeah. Now, we're excited to listen to the tracks as they come together. Two notes:

  • When the album is ready, you will be able to listen to the final low-res version on streaming services. The high-res, downloadable files are now available to reserve as a new digital add-on that supports the musicians
  • The current OST cover—using art by Christopher Pickett that shows a Pilgrim (PC) falsely dying and gaining a new maleficium (mutation)—is a mock-up. We don't know what the final version will look like yet, but it will be cool 😎

The next stretch goal? A new, Odyssey-inspired zine by the very talented guest writer Will Jobst!

This adventure will link together the Mediterranean settings and factions of the Danse Macabre Rulebook and Guide to the Abandoned World in a pointcrawl. Cross those fingers, and please let folks know about the game.

Shouting-out Erebus Mythos: Vampyr

We heard from a crew of indie creators in Greece who are working on a related game—Erebus Mythos: Vampyr, a Greek folk-horror campaign for Shadowdark focused on traditional vampire myths. You know we love historical fantasy and folklore! 🧛 Here is the quick pitch:

Erebus Mythos: Vampyris set in 19th-century Greece, a land torn between faith and reason, where superstition lingers and the line between myth and reality blurs.

Experience a new kind of adventure drawn from real folklore, with new systems like Evil Eye, Stain, Ritual Magic, and new classes and backgrounds. Easy to learn, ready to play, grab the Erebus Mythos Quickstart and play the introductory adventure, Erebus Mythos: Chymera, right away. Check it out >

Reminder: Kickstarter United ✊

Tonight. 7 PM EDT. Twitch. We're playing a game of Danse Macabre with some of the striking workers from Kickstarter United, the union that makes all of this <<gestures at indie TTRPGs>> possible. Please tune in, learn more, and consider helping KS United with their strike fund.
