Dead Man’s Hand: Frontier Magazine – Issue #3

The Long Road West

Not every frontier story happens in town.

Some unfold between settlements — on the long stretch of trail where law thins, identity shifts, and distance changes people.

Issue #3 of Dead Man’s Hand: Frontier Magazine focuses on travel, drifting lives, and the quiet pressure of the open frontier.

This issue expands both the Solo and Slice-of-Life engines of Dead Man’s Hand with tools designed for pacing, atmosphere, and long-form character development.

Inside This Issue:

The Marshal’s Casebook

Crimes that happen between jurisdictions — where county lines blur and authority becomes negotiation.

Outlaw’s Road: Drifting

How outlaws survive by becoming ordinary. False names, temporary work, and the slow erosion of identity.

Seven Days on the Trail

A full slice-of-life travel framework for solo or group play.
Structure a week of frontier travel with tension, routine, and meaningful change.

Engines of the Road

Modular travel and settlement generators:
• Camp complications
• Trail rumors
• Passing strangers
• Supply pressure
• Personal revelations
• Settlement undercurrents

Fast tables. Immediate use.

Trail Tales

A literary review of The Big Sky and how distance reshapes frontier fiction — with DMH adventure hooks inspired by it.

Trail Shorts

Original fiction capturing the quiet transformation that happens when the road stretches longer than expected.

Designed For:

• Solo Play
• Slice-of-Life Campaigns
• Travel Arcs
• Character Development
• Low-Combat Frontier Atmosphere
• Transitional Sessions Between Major Adventures

The frontier is not only gunfights and saloons.

It is frost at dawn.
It is a burned wagon left behind.
It is a badge that means less the further you ride.

Issue #3 widens the sky — and lets the road do the work.

Issue #4 brings colder winds.

For now—

Ride west.

Solo Horizons: Across the Worlds — Issue #6

What Remains

Empires fall.
Bloodlines fracture.
Cities vanish beneath sand.

But something always endures.

Issue #6 of Solo Horizons: Across the Worlds turns toward myth and inevitability — toward the forces that outlast collapse and define how history is remembered. This is not an issue about preventing disaster. It is about standing within its aftermath and deciding what survives.

Where previous issues explored hunger, motion, and strain, Issue 6 asks a different question:

When the age ends, what remains?

Inside This Issue

Editorial — The Shape of What Endures

A mythic reflection on legacy, monument, and the compression of history into symbol.

Across the Worlds — After the Age Ends

A thematic bridge connecting immortal memory and ancient ruin, exploring how blood and stone preserve consequence differently.

Spotlight Worlds

Turned — Echoes of the Blood

Immortality does not erase consequence. It preserves it.

This section explores:

• blood oaths that never expire

• rivalries carried across centuries

• names that refuse to fade

• prophecies fulfilled too late
  
  

Includes:

• 7 Hooks from the Bloodline

• The Blood Chronicle Ledger

• The Eternal Witness Oracle

• The Inevitability Die mechanic
  
  

In this issue, vampires are not predators navigating the present — they are living monuments to the past.

Sands of Legend — The Weight of Ruins

The desert does not destroy. It distills.

Explore fallen cities and ancient monuments where collapse was not tragedy — but completion.

Includes:

• 7 Hooks from the Final City

• The Monument Track

• The Prophecy Fulfilled Oracle

• The Ruin Resonance Table
  
  

You are not exploring wreckage.
You are reading the final draft.

World-Bridging & Solo Tools

• Stone & Blood — prompts connecting lineage and monument

• Legacy & Inevitability — systems for tracking permanent narrative impact

• The Eternal Name Table

• The Monument Condition
  
  

These tools reinforce mythic storytelling where consequences cannot be erased — only interpreted.

Centerpiece Scenario

The Last Marker

You arrive too late to change the fall.

A monument stands where an age ended.

What was carved there — and what you choose to add — will shape how history remembers it.

This scenario ties together blood, ruin, and inevitability into a single decisive moment.

About Solo Horizons

Solo Horizons: Across the Worlds is Thaloranth Publishing’s flagship solo RPG magazine, uniting standalone journaling worlds through shared themes, narrative tools, and evolving story arcs.

Each issue stands alone.
Together, they form a living chronicle.

The age ended.
The stone remained.
What will endure?

RAAK'S COMPENDIUM OF TROUBLING MAGICKES VOLUME III
SPELLS OF THE ULTIMATE VOID (LEVELS 7-9)

A 5e Third Party Supplement for High-Level Campaigns

The silence at the end of all things.

Raak Derondaras, the Apostate Sorcerer of Rhind, has not been seen for five years. Her tower in Aythan Kar stands as a monument to forbidden knowledge, its walls still pulsing with the residue of rituals that should never have been spoken. But now, reality itself is beginning to fray—time loops in cities, rifts tear open in the sky, and something ancient is stirring in the space between seconds.

This is her final testament.

Raak's Compendium of Troubling Magickes Volume III presents the ultimate expression of forbidden arcane power: spells of levels 7, 8, and 9 that do not merely manipulate reality—they unmake it, rewrite it, and replace it with something far darker. Within these pages, you will find the magicks that Raak herself used to bargain with entities beyond comprehension, the rituals that cost her everything, and the final adventure that will determine the fate of her legacy.

This is not a book for the faint of heart. These are spells for those who have already gazed into the abyss and found it gazing back.

WHAT LIES WITHIN

30 NEW SPELLS (LEVELS 7-9)
The most powerful and disturbing magicks ever compiled, including:

Hands of Oblivion (7th) - Reduce creatures to dust and reclaim their power as your own spell slots
The Sealed Tongue (7th) - Permanently rob a creature of language and communication
Soul Theft (8th) - Tear a soul from a living body and trap it for questioning before annihilation
Crown of the Void (8th) - Dominate creatures while wearing a crown of pure darkness
Heart of the Elder Void (9th) - Summon a moving sphere of absolute nothingness that erases all it touches
The Unmaking (9th) - Utterly destroy a creature, body and soul, leaving nothing for even a wish to restore
The Unspoken One (9th) - Speak a syllable so forbidden that its target is erased from existence and memory

5 NEW FAMILIARS FROM THE ULTIMATE VOID
Bound companions that carry pieces of oblivion in their forms:

The Static Gaze - A floating cube of shimmering static that disrupts magic and phases through reality
The Crimson Witness - A stony figure weeping blood, recording all it sees with perfect recall
The Hollow Child - A shapeshifting fey that steals joy and giggles in darkness
The Obsidian Moth - A silent creature of razor-sharp volcanic glass that reveals hidden things
The Last Name - A sentient book that knows forgotten lore and can steal memories

4 WORLD-ALTERING RITUALS
Ceremonies that require more than mere spell slots:

Rite of the Soul Forge - Bind a sentient soul to a weapon or item, creating a permanent artifact
Invocation of the Dark Pact - Grant Warlock pact boons to any creature—at a terrible price
The Binding of Shadows - Forge an unbreakable contract with fiends, fey, or celestials
Ritual of the Unborn God - Sacrifice a kingdom to ascend to godhood (for the truly ambitious)

4 ENTITIES WHO WATCH
The beings connected to Raak's final fate, usable as patrons, antagonists, or sources of impossible knowledge:

The Watcher in the Static - An entity that exists between seconds, speaking in the voices of dead stars
Korvos, the Last Soul - The melancholic ghost of an erased dimension, seeking final death
The Choir of Unmade - Billions of screaming souls manifesting as a pillar of silent agony
The Prime - A crystalline being of perfect order seeking to "prune" existence itself

COMPLETE ONE-SHOT ADVENTURE: THE SILENT HALLS
For characters level 17-20

Raak is not dead. She is trapped in a dimension outside of time, and her presence there is unraveling reality. Journey to the border of the Shadowfell, convince the ghost of a dead world to guide you, navigate the impossible geometry of the Silent Halls, and confront the Watcher in the Static itself. Will you free Raak, end her suffering, or make the ultimate sacrifice and take her place?

Features:
Reality-bending encounters in the Silent Halls
The Choir of Unmade—an encounter with madness itself
A final confrontation with a divine-level entity
Three distinct endings with world-changing consequences
Rewards including the ultimate spells from this volume

WHAT'S INSIDE

Tales of the Tournament: When Silence Breaks

Issue 6

The charter was read.

Not summarized.
Not posted quietly before dawn.
Read aloud in full at Rivergate before merchants, officials, and the Order of the Azure Star.

Nothing was overturned.
Nothing was defied.
Nothing was hidden.

In Issue 6 of Tales of the Tournament, the season shifts from consequence to visibility. The Grand Tourney continues — banners raised, lists called, virtues spoken — but the city now moves under shared understanding rather than assumption.

Silence has ended.

Inside this issue:

• The Reading at Rivergate — a calm but decisive public moment that changes how authority is heard
  
  

• Rival of the Month: Lord Marrec Calderyn — publicly unmoved, adapting to visibility rather than retreating from it
  
  

• The Lady’s Measure — a reflection on obedience, clarity, and virtue under observation
  
  

• Hearts of Radia — how transparency alters ordinary calculation
  
  

• Tavern Talk — when the city begins speaking plainly
  
  

• Solo Toolkit: Public Stance & Alignment Pressure — new mechanics for visible loyalty, reputation shifts, and forced alignment
  
  

• Closing Dispatch — the season narrows as standing openly begins to carry weight
  
  

Tales of the Tournament is a monthly fiction and lore magazine set in the world of Legends of Thaloranth, blending narrative storytelling, political tension, and structured solo-play tools to create a living chronicle of Radia and the Grand Tourney.

Issue 6 marks the moment the city hears what was once implied.

From this point forward, positions are no longer assumed.

They are seen.

And soon, they will cost.
