Un ritual antiguo. Un candidato carismático. Y una fuente que no debió abrirse.

¿Por qué?
Porque la Fuente no es solo piedra y agua. Es una puerta. Y su llave es tan simple como inquietante: agua de mar sobre una losa tallada en espiral.

Diseñada como aventura de inicio para QuickShock (SRD de GUMSHOE), El Alcalde introduce a los jugadores al sistema mediante una trama de conspiración política, horror cósmico y dilemas morales, donde cada decisión investigativa tiene peso y cada Impulso abre una puerta narrativa.

🔹 Temas: obediencia vs. desobediencia, manipulación del relato público, tradición frente a progreso.
🔹 Ambientación única: folklore andaluz, rituales locales, y el peso del silencio rural.
🔹 Diseño pedagógico: enseña QuickShock sobre la marcha, sin pausas reglamentarias.
🔹 Dos rutas narrativas que pueden jugarse secuencialmente mediante un retroceso temporal temático —ideal para entender las consecuencias reales de cada elección.
🔹 Listo para jugar: incluye personajes pregenerados, PNJs detallados, cartas de Ventajas/Complicaciones y una hoja de ayuda de una página.

Perfecta para una sesión de 3–4 horas, El Alcalde es una puerta de entrada ideal a GUMSHOE… y a lo que acecha bajo las aguas salobres.

There is an old snack machine in the forest where a kingdom of mice used to reside many decades ago. But war broke out over the mouse paradise due to envy and resentment and all the mice were driven out. Sweets and snacks have long since been eaten or turned to dust. But the real treasures are the things that the former inhabitants had built from the packaging material, because they knew how to use it very inventively. The aluminum from the Coke cans was turned into armor, the plastic packaging from muesli bars was folded into artistic statues.

“Vendima” is an adventure module. The basic rules of Mausritter are required to play.

Christmas morning dawns in the mouse village of Nestingen, but instead of children's laughter, there is crying to be heard. What has happened here? At Christmas, the division of tasks is clear: Santa Maus is in charge of the well-behaved mice and Krampmaus is in charge of the naughty ones. But this year, everything is different. In November, when Santa Maus and Krampmaus meet for an evening drink, Krampmaus happens to look at the list of well-behaved children and notices that most of them have rich parents. Krampmaus thinks this is very unfair, especially since Santa Maus's house and sledge become more luxurious every year, while Krampmaus is always shabbily dressed and poorly equipped. Krampmaus therefore decides on a perfidious plan: Krampmaus brings Santa Maus a poisoned cake, and when Santa Maus gets stomach pains, Krampmaus gives him what he claims is medicine, but which is actually a laxative. Since Santa Maus does not get any better, Krampmaus willingly takes over the organization of the Christmas celebrations.

But this time, everything is turned upside down. Everyone on the nice list is punished or kidnapped to work in the gift factory where the Christmas elves finally have time off and can recover from years of hard work. Those who were previously on the naughty list and come from poor families receive gifts this year. Except Krampmaus has no idea what great gifts look like.

This adventure was written and illustrated by Zacharias (13 years old). I helped him with the layout and some of the drawings. The flags and banners are illustrations by @art-illustrations-images. The hanging sign is by @lagmardesign.

Der Weihnachtsmorgen bricht an im Mausdorf Nestingen, doch statt Kinderlachen ist ein Wehklagen zu hören. Was ist hier passiert?

Zu Weihnachten ist die Aufgabenverteilung klar: Santa Maus kümmert sich um die artigen und Krampmaus um die unartigen Mäuse. Doch dieses Jahr kommt alles anders. Im November als Santa Maus und Krampmaus sich zu einem abendlichen Umtrunk treffen, wirft Krampmaus zufällig einen Blick auf die Liste der Artigen und bemerkt, dass auf dieser Liste vor allem Kinder mit reichen Eltern sind. Ganz schön unfair findet Krampmaus, zumal das Haus und der Schlitten der Santa Maus jedes Jahr prächtiger wird, während Krampmaus immer schäbig gekleidet und ausgestattet ist. Krampmaus beschließt daher einen perfiden Plan dieses Jahr alles anders zu machen.

Bullets & Bootleggers: Chicago Citybook

A Ghost Ape System Sourcebook for Noir Chicago, 1929–1931

Chicago isn’t a backdrop — it’s a character with a switchblade grin.

Bullets & Bootleggers: Chicago Citybook is your full guide to Prohibition-era Chicago for use with the Ghost Ape System (GAS). It’s part sandbox, part history book, part DM toolkit, and part love letter to a city where every alley has a story and every handshake hides a deal.

Inside you’ll find:

• 250+ Pages of District-by-District Chicago

Every neighborhood written in full noir prose — Uptown’s neon marquees, Wicker Park’s basement card dens, Lakeview’s beer gardens, Bridgeport’s political back rooms, South Side speakeasies, industrial hellscapes, lakefront coves, immigrant enclaves, and gangland borders where Capone and Moran collide.

Each district includes:

• Points of Interest with built-in hooks

• Speakeasies & Vice

• Bootlegging Supply Chains

• Police Presence & bribability

• Magical Awareness for games with the occult dialed up

• HEAT system for tracking what the neighborhood thinks of your crew

• Encounter Tables (d20) tuned to local flavor and faction politics

• The Machinery of Crime

This book lays out how 1929 Chicago actually works:

• smuggling routes

• beer chains

• cold storage operations

• counterfeit networks

• political machines

• streetcar runs

• and all the small-time rackets tying the whole city together

Everything is rooted in real period history and built for immediate table use.

• Optional Supernatural Noir

Chicago’s shadows hide more than bootleggers.
Thin places, strange echoes, occult musicians, ghost runners, entropic artifacts, and grim favors lurk behind the city’s polite façade — all written with grounded, believable rules that never drift into “weird for weird’s sake.”

The supernatural is modular: run it as gritty realism or occult noir.

• GAS Mechanics & Tools for Chicago Play

You get:

• HEAT rules

• supply chain interaction

• convoy hijacking mechanics

• gambling tables

• smuggling fallout

• supernatural bleed zones

• faction influence & political pressure

• neighborhood consequences that actually matter

Plus guidance for running sandbox-style gangster campaigns where the players — not the plot — drive the story.

• Ready for Any Game Style

Run Chicago as:

• a gangster sandbox

• a speakeasy & smuggling campaign

• a noir investigator story

• an occult thriller

• or a companion to Lich Too, Bullets & Bootleggers, or the upcoming campaign arcs

• A Complete GM Resource

No filler. No fluff.
Just a fully functional city you can drop players into tonight.

If you want your game to smell like spilled whiskey, cordite, and lake wind, this is the book.

Detailed. Gritty. Playable.
Welcome to Chicago.

Arabian Nights Classes for 5e: Sandblade Warrior

In the endless expanse of the desert, where the horizon trembles in the heat and the stars cast their cold light over silent dunes, warriors are born not of brute strength, but of movement. The Sandblade Warrior is a living storm — a figure who flows through battle like the wind that shapes the dunes, whose scimitar arcs trace stories in the air as old as the caravan roads.

Unlike heavily armored soldiers who rely on walls and formations, the Sandblade trusts only in grace, speed, and precision. Every step is measured, every flourish purposeful, blending martial prowess with the elegance of a dancer and the cunning of a storyteller. Their weapon is not merely steel; it is an extension of rhythm, a brushstroke on the shifting canvas of battle.

Many Sandblade Warriors begin their journey as children of the caravans, raised on the trade routes where speed and wit often mean survival. Others are trained in hidden blade schools beneath caravanserais, where masters teach not through words but through patterns traced in sand at dawn. Some inherit ancient family styles passed down for generations, while others are self-forged, learning the language of motion through hardship and necessity.

In combat, a Sandblade Warrior moves unpredictably — appearing where the enemy least expects, weaving through attacks like wind slipping past fingers. Some whirl into battle like a dervish, surrounding themselves with storms of sand and steel. Others strike with the patience and precision of a falcon, marking their prey before delivering a decisive blow. And some become mirages, confusing foes with illusion, trickery, and elegant misdirection.

But the Sandblade’s strength is not only martial. In marketplaces, royal courts, or scholarly gatherings, they carry themselves with the poise of travelers who have seen a thousand horizons. Their art is as much performance as warfare; their stories are carried by the wind from oasis to city, from night fire to night fire. In their dance lives the rhythm of desert life: transient, fluid, and unforgettable.

Whether as guardians of caravans, renowned duelists, wandering champions, or enigmatic performers, Sandblade Warriors are legends in motion — warriors whose blades speak louder than any banner, and whose footsteps leave no trace upon the sand.

This contains a full class up to level 20 with abilities and background, based on the Arabian Nights stories and middle eastern culture, this is not written by a native of that area so may contain certain cultural biases from a european point of view.
