Coming soon: Robin Laws’s FIFTH IMPERATIVE.

Robin Laws’s FIFTH IMPERATIVE is the sequel to THE MISSING AND THE LOST, which is one the best damn books you’ll never be able to find on Amazon.com. The book is set in a world where a dictator tainted with the Yellow Sign took power, and formed an Imperial Dynasty that ruled America for a century before it was overthrown and replaced by a democratic government; if that sounds a lot like one of the settings in Pelgrane Press’s THE YELLOW KING RPG, that’s because it is. The new book isn’t out yet, but the first one is really cool. So’s the game. Check them out.

The Yellow King Roleplaying Game Kickstarter.

Brothers (and sisters), have you seen the Yellow Sign?  This one promises to be a nice, big, fat set of RPG settings for playing games where midnight approaches, and so does the Yellow King to his throne in Lost Carcosa.  It’s not going to be excessively cheap, but Pelgrane Press gives good value for the money. And they don’t like missing deadlines.

The Yellow King RPG Kickstarter drops next week.

Little teaser video Tweet after the fold (I assume that they’ll announce the Yellow King RPG Kickstarter on Monday).  No, I’m not putting it after the fold because it has the Yellow Sign in it.  I’m putting it after the fold because the video is kind of flashing and strob-y, and while I don’t think that it’ll make you ill it’s still a little disorienting.

Which was the idea, of course.

Is The Yellow King RPG Kickstarter going to drop next week?

I suspect that it might, given that Robin Laws is doing half-taunting Tweets right now:

Pelgrane Press’s “The Yellow King RPG” Kickstarter to start soon.

Today in Shut up and take my money, damn your eyes:

Pelgrane Press is terrified to announce that The Yellow King Roleplaying Game is coming soon to a Kickstarter near you.

Written and designed by GUMSHOE master Robin D. Laws, YKRPG takes you on a brain-bending spiral through multiple selves and timelines.

Tweet of the Day, The Buried Lede Here Is The ‘Yellow King RPG’ Bit edition.

The Yellow King will be a standalone GUMSHOE game that incorporates the horror fiction of Robert W Chambers (and nothing else, so no actual Cthulhu or Yog-Sothery*)  Also: please note that I didn’t watch more than a little bit of the actual gameplay video, because I don’t typically watch many of those.  Robin Laws and the rest could have spent half the video chanting “Yog-Sothoth Neblod ZIN!” and I would have missed it.

 

*It’d be interesting if some of Chambers romantic fiction later got tossed into the mix.  Dude probably never would have believed that his horror fiction is the only reason why we even remember his name these days. Funny old world, huh?
