Another Stretch Goal Down! Here come the Case Files!
12 months ago – Thu, Apr 17, 2025 at 08:03:00 AM


Wow! We’ve already blown past our first Stretch Goal of phase 2! That means we’ve unlocked Case Files 01! This zine is a collection of short works for Liminal Horror. Think of it as our version of Carcass Crawler for OSE. There will definitely be more in this series, but you’ll be able to get it first (and if we unlock the physical goal then for free as a printed zine).

But what is in Case Files 01? Well, a bunch of killer stuff, some new, some old, but all worth it for your table. 

Be warned, here is just a taste of what is inside. 

Adventures: We wanted to bring some adventures into the print fold so they can easily be run at your tables. 
  • Recursive Transit: Josh will be updating their one page dungeon contest winner circle entry for Liminal Horror. Also worth noting that Goblin loves a good time loop so this one makes him very happy.
  • The Chair: Zach Hazard Vaupen’s amazing pamphlet adventure will be reformatted for inclusion here, bringing the adventure to many new eyes and into distribution in zine format.
  • The Black Wall: You’ve saved the test subject, and will now be hunted until you put an end to Panopticon’s meddling. A psionic fueled adventure setup inspired by Akira, Firestarter, and Beyond the Black Rainbow.

Supplemental Content: Some additional goodies and play options for your tables. 
  • Psionic Fallout: Rules for introducing psychic powers to your games, and the risks inherent in breaking those barriers.
  • Additional Horrors
  • More Rituals

Next stop is 90k, where we will print the Case Files zine and it will be sent to all physical backers!

Over the next while we will be giving deeper looks at different parts of the book, including what the text/layout will look like. This tome is chocked full of tools, resources, and killer stuff. Our design goal was make a book that supports people bringing horror to their tables with ease.

Scenario #3 & Future Hidden Stretch Goals!
12 months ago – Wed, Apr 16, 2025 at 08:46:12 AM


We've hit our 4th stretch goal and have the final adventure included in the book. This also means we get to reveal the hidden stretch goals!!!

SILENT STREET STATION is the third included scenario and functions as a means to use the Funnel Rules as well as showcase how a Facilitator can adapt one of our Generic Location Maps into an adventure.

OVERVIEW
  • Length: 1-2 sessions. 
  • Genre: Thriller, Outbreak
  • Location: Seattle, WA 
  • Major Theme: Survival 
  • Content Warning: Body horror, violence, infection. 
  • Touchstones: Train to Busan (2016), Silent Hill 3 (2003), Cell (2006).

The grille door at the entrance to the subway station rattles against the horde of bodies pressed up against it, some terrible affliction driving them to violence. It was rolled down in time to save those that ran down here, but it will not hold for long. One train remains down at the platform. It just might be the only way you’re getting out of here alive.

Silent Street Station is a scenario designed for use with the funnel mechanics presented in Appendix: Funnel Rules, or as a challenging gauntlet for standard Investigators. 

An outbreak has begun to spread in the city, transforming its residents into near mindless creatures intent on further spreading the contagion. Trapped in a subway station with only a buckling security gate holding back a horde of these creatures, your survivors will need to navigate the station’s perils if they hope to make it out alive before the gate buckles and the horde is let loose to tear through the station.

  • ($90k) Case Files 01 (printed zine): Each backer who backed a physical reward will receive a printed version of Liminal Horror Case Files, a new collection of short adventures, locations, factions, and monsters.

Stretch Goal #1 Achieved!
12 months ago – Tue, Apr 15, 2025 at 12:27:34 PM

Hello again everyone! Thank you so much for your support! We've achieved our first Stretch Goal, and now the physical versions of both print runs will have a red red ribbon attached! Nothing better for fighting off cosmic horrors, right?

We're super keen to get to our next Stretch Goal, which will add content for Camp Coldwater (from The Bloom) to the digital and physical versions of the book. We'll be back when we achieve that goal (hopefully soon) with more information on that. 

Cheers and again, thank you all for your support, it means a lot to all of us!
