Description

From the publishers blurb:

ALTAR is a grimdark fanzine for Outcast Silver Raiders, crammed with infernal rites, haunting adventures, and enough random generation to make your Referee weep ichor.

Within these unholy pages, you'll find The Spawning Rite, a streamlined system for birthing new Outcasts, forged from the ashes of countless character deaths. Roll fast, die faster.

Delve into Wormwood & Gall, a harrowing farmstead crawl where cultists are manifesting apocalyptic horrors through sheer belief. Navigate the cursed fields of Cairnby and confront the spectral Frater Atratus before the Mythic North drowns in waking nightmares.

Finally, Abyssal Stones offers a generator for crafting strange and eldritch altars to scatter across your campaign world. Roll for esoteric carvings, cursed relics, and otherworldly effects—or drop in one of the three prewritten altar sets to unleash immediate dread.

ALTAR offers you rare opportunity to:

Witness villagers consumed by fear and faith
Be stalked by the Antichrist Ram
Survive the summoning of the Four Horsemen
Pray at altars of ancient frog gods
Or just get impaled on a rusty pitchfork
This fanzine is DENSE. Packed with 40+ pages of grim delights, tables, and lore for your deepest, darkest games. Your Outcasts will suffer. Your campaign will never be the same.

Kneel at the ALTAR. Submit your soul.

Everything in ALTAR is statted for Outcast Silver Raiders but much of it would be easily converted to any OSR game with a small amount of elbow grease. There are some direct references to the Mythic North, Outcast's official setting, but with creativity you can just draw inspiration from the names (e.g., "Debrooken Abbey" --> "Your setting's local creepy church"). Mechanical conversions are even easier if you have some experiences as a Referee of old school games (there are Hit Dice, saving throws, the ability scores are the ones you're expecting...).

ALTAR is an independent production by Melpomene Games and is not affiliated with Esoteric Ludology or Exalted Funeral. It is published under the Outcast Silver Raiders Third Party License. Outcast Silver Raiders is copyright Esoteric Ludology, LLC.
