“Times were the Boyd family ruled these hills, running guns and drugs and turning the profits back onto the towns and ranches bringing the old lie of the New South to life.”
“But things end, and when the FBI raid put torch to the operation the four of you were able to escape in the chaos and forge new lives elsewhere.”
“But the News is saying the infamous Raylan Boyd has died in prison, the family patriarch who made it all possible.”
“Whether it’s to pay your respects or exorcise your demons, seems now is the time to return to Copperhead County.”

The characters are hired in a quest for vengeance in Illmoria by Freida, the daughter of the merchant Nikorn of Bakshaan, who was slain by Elric of Melnibone having made the mistake of allying himself with the Pan Tangian sorceror Thelen K’aarna. Freyda wants revenge upon the merchants hired by Elric to kill her father, before she plans to go after the White Wolf himself.
This is a hack of the classic Stormbringer RPG campaign, the “Stealer of Souls” to run using Tripod (Wordplay2). Why Tripod? The system runs faster and is more narratively focused than the original game and I’ve successfully used its predecessor, Wordplay, to run Stormbringer based adventures at Furnace on multiple occasions.
The Silt Verses

“In a land and a time much like our own, we, the blessed people share our existence with the Gods – lending their divine power to every facet of life. Some are deemed licensed and others forbidden, but all require … certain sacrifices from their pilgrims. Custodians are sent into the rural backwaters to investigate strange cults and lost gods, never straying from the path of their own belief, scrawling their prayer marks where the lost may find them, and seeking the peace of the truly enlightened. These are the Silt Verses, and I name you, our disciples…’
The Silt Verses RPG is based on the eponymous series of audio books. It is a dark and horrific setting that lends itself discussions of faith, and the juxtaposition of the mundane and the unholy. You don’t need to have listened to the dramas to play the game, but being able to buy into the horrors is important. The game uses the same system as Brindlewood Bay, The Between and Public Access, so it is exceptionally player facing and requires a LOT of player input and creativity – I wouldn’t recommend it if you aren’t comfortable making up details on the fly. The game also rewards monologues about the nature of faith, so again, if that sounds like something you aren’t comfortable with, bear that in mind.” 18 Adult Themes, Player-led, The Silt Verses contains intense themes of religious horror, human sacrifice, graphic violence, body horror, cults, implied harm to children and animals, family trauma and mental illness, government oppression and police violence, war, and natural disasters.

When an entire Keep has vanished from the land, you are sent to investigate. Is it to do with mirrors, or the recent death of the Lady of the keep!
A horror mystery weekend, with you as the investigators! This game is leaning into the classic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons rules. This may either be an old favourite, or an opportunity to play and find out more about this early foundational version of the popular Dungeons and Dragons line.
