I hinted at it last time I talked about my camera system for Unreal Engine: it might come back. Well, now it sort-of has, and if you have some use for it, you can help by sponsoring its development and getting technical support for it! All the information can be found at my company’s website. […]
As promised last time I teased it, the first volume of the Canadian Chronicles is now available on DriveThruRPG. These are three scenarios for Call of Cthulhu, made and set in Canada, written by Francis Acquarone, Patrick Chandler, and myself. More details below!
