The Five Points is restless. Smoke curls from the tenements, and the cobblestones glisten with rain, mud, and spilled ale. Lanterns flicker along the alleys, their light barely penetrating the fog that crawls from the East River. The city’s heartbeat echoes in the boots of those who prowl the streets—thieves, rogues, and politicians alike—each hungry for influence, coin, or vengeance. Tonight, the air tastes of copper and fear. Rumors fly faster than the cries of street vendors: a new faction of rogues has emerged, skilled in theft and deception, striking at both the wealthy and the unsuspecting. At the same time, whispers speak of a political uprising—unrest among the tenements’ inhabitants threatening to shake the Five Points’ delicate balance of power. The gangs are uneasy, alliances faltering, and every saloon is alive with rumors, wagers, and secrets. You step into this maelstrom as an unknown—or perhaps remembered—figure of shadowed deeds. Your fingers itch for coin, your eyes scan for advantage, and your mind weighs the cost of action. Somewhere in the alleys, a plan is forming, a rebellion simmering, and only you can decide which side to aid—or betray. The city waits, and the streets themselves seem to hold their breath.

The Five Points groans beneath its own weight—of rot, of sin, of ambition dressed in rags. By night the cobblestones glisten with spilled gin and spilled blood, and by dawn the city’s steam hangs low like a funeral pall. Word drifts from uptown—carried on the tongues of carriage-drivers and gutter children alike—that the respectable folk above Canal Street have begun extending their reach into the Points. Where once they’d only visit to sample the filth or pay a quick debt, now they send agents, cutthroats in fine coats, to pry open the ginhouses and saloons that have long been the battlegrounds of the neighborhood’s most murderous fraternities. There are whispers that an uptown syndicate means to tame the Points for its own gain, buying out thieves, bribing barkeeps, and hiring killers with the cool efficiency of men who’ve never dirtied their boots in the muck. But the Points is not a place to be tamed. Its people know only the law of the alley—strength, cunning, and brandished steel. A gangster with enough nerve can change the course of the brewing war, carving a place among the ginhouses, the gambling attics, and the blood-wet meeting rooms. And this is where you step in. You stand at the threshold of Calder’s Gin Palace, its windows flickering with sputtering gaslight, its doors swollen by humidity and rough hands. The stink of spilled spirits clings to the air like a curse. As you push inside, the scrape of boots stills; men glance up from their mugs, measuring you with flat, appraising eyes. Somewhere in this room lies the thread of the coming war—and whether you seize it, sever it, or strangle someone with it will shape your rise, your ruin, or your name in the whispered litany of Five Points legends. Your story begins now.

Introduction: When the Wind Changes Direction

Along the raw shores of the Bone Coast, where ancient pines whisper of forgotten wars, a new storm is rising. Kingdoms waver, merchants weave intrigues, and the spark of rebellion spreads like fire beneath dry bark. But deep within the Arsan Forest, where no invading army has ever marched unpunished, something far worse has begun to stir.

In Kaldarhar, council members argue over the future while the merchants of Harmas gamble on prophecy and profit. Kastil raises its voice but hesitates to draw the blade. And while all talk, a foreign army moves in silence.

On the orders of the cunning merchant-prince Apinades Borillo, the Moster Host crosses the mist-choked waters of the Dur River — 3,000 elite soldiers with no heraldry, no banners, no name. They do not speak of freedom, yet they act in its name. They build camps, they drill into the earth, they awaken something that should remain buried.

But the Arsan Forest has its guardians.

From the deepest roots to the highest branches, the Forest Knights — Kastil’s oldest protectors and the rightful swords of nature — keep watch. They know every hidden path, every herb, every ancient stone. And they sense it at once:

The earth beats beneath the roots.
Shadows move where none should be.
The old titan engines… whisper.

While merchant princes argue and cities swear alliances and lies, the Forest Knights see the truth clearer than all others:
The Moster Host has not come for diplomacy.
They have not come for Kalhombar’s freedom.
They have come for what lies buried under Arsan.

If the titans’ machine-hearts awaken again, the Bone Coast will burn — and the world with it.

This is where the heroes enter.
Not as chosen ones, not as prophets, but as pieces, agents, witnesses — or perhaps the ones who can alter the course of the storm.

For in Winds of Kalhombar – The Coastland’s Shadow, no one remains neutral.
Not anymore.

And in the forest’s depths, the shadows are breathing.

Blood & Madness

A Bullets & Bootleggers Campaign for the Ghost Ape System

A king is falling. A neighborhood is watching. And you’re standing close enough to catch the blood.

Bridgeport, 1928–1929.
A tight little neighborhood of taverns, unions, slaughterhouses, and grudges older than the bricks. At the center of it all sits Frank McErlane — gunman, folk legend, walking disaster. Every cop, bootlegger, and bookie knows the truth:

Frank was always dangerous.
But this year… he starts to come apart.

Blood & Madness is a 13-mission campaign for Bullets & Bootleggers and the Ghost Ape System (GAS) — a complete, table-ready saga charting the rise and implosion of Frank McErlane as seen from the eye level of the people stuck orbiting him: your crew.

This isn’t a mob power fantasy.
This is a street-level tragedy written in whiskey, paranoia, and cordite.

WHAT’S INSIDE

Thirteen Fully-Scripted Missions

Follow the slow-motion collapse of a gangster who once terrified Chicago — from petty paranoia to open war to the final night in the slaughterhouse. Every mission is written in playable noir prose with full read-alouds, checks, branching choices, HEAT outcomes, and GAS stat blocks.

Sandbox Tools for a Living Bridgeport

Even while Frank spirals, the neighborhood keeps breathing. Includes:

• Dynamic event tables

• Trouble generators

• Faction shifts for Saltis, the O’Donnells, and McErlane remnants

• Off-the-cuff mission construction for downtime between the main arcs

NPC Roster — Friends, Liabilities, Ghosts

Meet Sadie (the canary in the coal mine), Tommy Feeney (good heart, bad luck), Leo & Vinnie McErlane, and the full O’Donnell lineup — all written with hooks, motives, and GM levers.

Bridgeport in 1929

Taverns, alleys, union halls, garages, slaughterhouses, and rain-slick streets rendered in period-accurate noir detail. The district becomes a character — and eventually a witness.

The Slaughterhouse King — Final Confrontation

Rules, stakes, and stat block for the final showdown with Frank McErlane.
Kill him, spare him, or stand with him. Every ending scars the city differently.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Ghost Ape System (GAS) Core Rules

• Bullets & Bootleggers: Player’s Guide (optional but strongly recommended)

TONE & THEMES

Blood & Madness leans hard into:

• Prohibition noir

• Street-level paranoia

• Moral erosion

• Loyalty under pressure

• The cost of following a man who’s already dying on his feet

This is a campaign about falling, not rising.
About what happens to the people standing too close when the king starts swinging.

Trouble in Downwind!

The Outer Plane of the Abyss

The Outer Plane of the Abyss is the most feared, volatile, and corrupted expanse in all existence, a churning maw of chaos where reality fractures beneath the weight of endless hatred and ruin. It appears as a cosmic wound torn into the fabric of the multiverse, devouring light from the Astral Sea and reshaping whatever falls into its depths. No map can define it, no mind can truly grasp it. Countless abyssal realms drift within its void, each a nightmare world ruled or ravaged by the monstrous wills that dominate them.

Yet within this nightmare lies unimaginable power. Abyssal artifacts overflow with raw creation, forbidden magics seep from the cracks of dying worlds, and secrets of ancient ages lie cocooned in webs, drowned in trenches, or buried beneath shifting dunes. The Abyss is destruction, but also transformation.

This eBook plunges into the monstrous depths of the Abyss, unveiling its realms, factions, horrors, and demonic sovereigns:

Vermoria 

A collapsing rotten continent adrift on acidic seas, birthplace of Janus the Swarmfather and home to vermin-plagues that devour entire landscapes.

Nagarothis

A drifting serpent-shaped world of venomous jungles, scorching deserts, and golden ruins torn from Terrae, where the shattered Lilith slowly reforms.

Noscaarn 

A frozen hunting ground marked by crimson rain from T’Zehen, ruled by Lupina the Wolf Queen, mother of lycanthropy and eternal predator of the tundra.

Ulmariss

A vast abyssal ocean world lit by bioluminescent horrors, where Matoloth commands the sahuagin empire from drowned temples and bottomless trenches.

Silkgrave

A shattered realm bound together by living webs, ruled by Shilob the Spider Lord, where every fate is a thread waiting to be harvested.

Origins of the Abyss

Though its birth is unknown, fragments of matter, suffering, and dead worlds fell into its depths during the earliest ages, spawning the first demons and igniting conflicts that shaped entire eras.

The Demonlords

Sovereigns of ruin who shape their realms through sheer will, waging endless war as they claw for dominance within the shifting dark.

Abyssal Denizens and Factions

Swarm cults, spider clans, sahuagin empires, lycanthropic legions, and fiends born from pure chaos.

Within these realms lie stories of decay, ascension, corruption, and power.
Here, adventurers face unending darkness, confront demonic tyrants, and uncover truths that were never meant to be known.
