‘Six Mythos Spells’ Released by Skirmisher!
Skirmisher Publishing is pleased to announce the release of “Six Spells: Mythos,” a mini-publication that can be used in conjunction with any OGL/d20 system RPGs! It is available for just 50¢ at both the Skirmisher Publishing Shop and at DriveThruRPG, and as part of a number of discounted thematic bundles at the latter site.
“Mythos” is a word that evokes a certain ilk of horror that emphasize humanity’s utter isolation and inconsequence in a monstrous, unforgiving universe, in which things do go bump in the night and humans are the food or playthings of terrible entities.
Many early Mythos stories came directly from author H.P. Lovecraft but other writers of his era put their own stamps on this horror subgenre. Spells that appear in this publication — Awaken Idol, Create Unholy Food and Water, Darklight Prism, Pass Flame, Reverse Staircase, and Summon Demonic Mason — were therefore inspired not just by the tales of Lovecraft but also by the works of writers like Clark Ashton Smith. They all touch on the wrongness of reality, on the ability of cultists to bend and warp it, and on humanity’s blindness to such things.
