Called to rural Lancashire in the mid-1920s, the investigators become entangled in a quiet agricultural incident that local authorities are keen to dismiss. What begins as concerns over contaminated soil and failing crops soon reveals the remnants of a long-buried research project, sealed away and forgotten for good reason.

Beneath the moors lies an abandoned munitions site repurposed for covert experimentation. Something was grown there, something adaptive, resilient, and never truly destroyed. Recent disturbances have allowed it to stir once more, spreading through damp stone, runoff, and living bodies.

As the investigators peel back layers of official denial, missing records, and burned-out laboratories, they must decide how far they are willing to go to contain a threat that does not understand mercy, only growth.

Fungal Bodies is a one-shot investigative horror scenario for Classic Call of Cthulhu (7th Edition), designed to be completed in 4–6 hours.

It includes all the assets needed to play, including;

• 1 new Mythos organism
• 6 major NPCs
• 1 primary investigation site with multiple zones
• handouts (including a recovered research notebook)
• 6 pre-generated investigators

Quiet, grounded, and rooted in 1920s Britain, Fungal Bodies focuses on environmental horror, institutional secrecy, and the consequences of burying things that should never have existed at all.

Hateful Cults spread their insidious talons into the lives of everyday people, turning friend to foe, and foe to sworn enemy. Hate breeds more hate.

Hate stains the world. Hate is everything.

Everywhere. It is worse than all of the death cults, as it infests everyone and everything, turning man against man. It makes life unbearable for those who remain, as the world breeds contempt for itself.

Hate breeds.

Hate warps the world. Rivers choke on it.

Souls rot where hate touches.

Hate contaminates.

hate stains...

hate stains is a collection of tools for both players and GMs, all centered on evil hateful cults in a doomed world. New cults, new classes (4!), new spells, advice and tables for cults, and new mutated horrors, plus adventures and more!

This is the clean version of Hate Stain, which is so nominal in graphic design, I might has well have made it in Word.

Note: I did not lay this out in Word.

Throughout the document are little sigils for use with anything. I give you permission to use them however you like. Not just on hateful cults.

This may or may not look messy enough for you or for a MÖRK BORG-related product. Sorry about that. I can only bring myself to be so unreadable. This is my take on the doom-metal, punk-rotted aesthetic of the game.

Hate seems to exist in every generation. If you see this as a thinly-veiled veneer for political discourse, I say, “How dare you?”

London. Winter. 1963. It is a year since the Cold War went hot. This was not just a nuclear war, as darker weapons with their roots in World War II’s suffering and fringe science were deployed.  Survival and re-building are all that matter now. But human nature and the breakdown of society mean that everyone has their own ambitions.  Into this maelstrom steps a motley band of women and men tasked with the jobs too dirty or dangerous for anyone else. They have to deal with relationships, loves, hatred, and hidden agendas in a collapsing, ravaged, horror-strewn Britain.

Revised and reimagined from the first edition that appeared in 2008, Hot War keeps everything great about this critically acclaimed RPG while bringing fresh ideas to the texts and the mechanics. 

The game mechanics reinforce the key themes of the setting: in Hot War the nuclear destruction of society is ever present in the form of 'Breakdown' and Control can use this to make the characters' lives increasingly difficult.

Hot War is presented as a 208-page book in full colour.

Written by Malcolm Craig with art from Paul Bourne and Jon Hodgson.

About Cold City and Hot War

These aren't just new editions of these cult UK indie games: designer Malcolm Craig, now a senior lecturer in history at Liverpool John Moores University, has worked with Handiwork Games as an integral part of his research work into the history of nuclear war in roleplaying games. 

These new editions form part of an impact study – a look at how historical research in combination with roleplaying games can affect the understanding of history and affect the wider culture. Not only have the games been brought up to date in these new editions, but they contain additional fascinating contextual information about the history of the post-war 20th Century. This is intended to enrich the settings of both games, providing a whole new level of verisimilitude and sheer playable information. It is also be an experiment in ground-breaking presentation and the contextualisation of roleplaying games within our wider culture.

Cold City is also available in PDF now.

This gamebook is available for this price until February 4th 11 AM US Eastern time.

DM Essentials #02: 10 Noble Encounters

Stop Hiring Quest Dispensers. Start Navigating Dynastic Minefields.

In generic fantasy, a Noble is just a person in a silk cape who tells the party to kill a dragon. They are a "Quest Dispenser" with a crown—static, flat, and boring. That is "slop" design. Your players deserve a world that pushes back.

DM Essentials #02 is a surgical tool designed to strip away the tropes and reveal the "Pure Steel" of the ruling class. In an authentic, grounded world, a Noble is a person trapped in a suffocating web of Inheritance, Debt, and Reputation. They aren't waiting for heroes; they are trying to keep their heads attached to their shoulders while their world crumbles around them.

What’s Inside?

• The Noble Ecosystem (Mini-Essay): A deep dive into the "Historian’s Eye" on feudal power. Understand why being a Noble is a miserable, high-stakes cage and why most Lords are "Asset Rich but Cash Poor."

• The 10 Noble Encounters: Ten hyper-detailed, psychologically rich interactions that move beyond "Go here, do this." Each entry includes:

  • The Surface Interaction: The facade the Noble presents to the players.

  • The Surgical Truth: The hidden logistical rot, dynastic fear, or secret alliance driving their behavior.

  • The Pivot: Targeted 5E Skill Checks to navigate the social minefield or trigger a regional war.

• The Dynastic Powder Keg d10 Table: A quick-reference tool to instantly drop a complicated Lord, an exiled Prince, or a bankrupt Lady into your game.

The "Pure Steel" Difference

We don't do "Epic Fantasy" tropes. We do Historical Weight.

• The Bankrupt Lord isn't selling his family sword because he’s greedy; he’s selling it to pay the village’s royal tithes so his people aren't evicted.

• The Prince Over the Water isn't a savior; he’s a ghost of a failed rebellion whose "rightful return" threatens to dismantle twenty years of peace and prosperity.

• The Arrogant Scion isn't just a bully; he is a terrified son performing "Cruelty as Strength" to satisfy the spies of a legendary, cold-hearted father.

Product Specifications:

• System: 5E Compatible (Tier 1-2 focus).

• Setting: Agnostic (Grounded Medieval Fantasy).

• Use Case: Perfect for "Urban Intrigue," courtly drama, or adding high-stakes social friction to travel days.

The Council’s Tactical Note:
A Noble without a secret is just a merchant with a better tailor. Use this tool to give your ruling class the teeth they deserve. Flick the switch.

“Levon was a true explorer and a true friend. He went farther and deeper than anyone before him. Who can forget the ascent of the Ice Cathedral in Ninhulam, made without proper climbing gear? Or the third survey of the Red Garden, where he mapped the final strata with a broken leg and a wounded arm?

That was Levon Najjar. Fearless. Endless.

As we pass him on to the Uncreated Spirit, we do so with gratitude.

May the blessings of the Three guide him, and the Icons show him mercy.”

With that, two white-robed Coriolites with pale silver masks operate a console that tips the platform beneath the body, making it slide off and tumble down into the inky blackness of the well. Within seconds, it's gone.

The death of an old ruin delver and a missing stone tablet mark the beginning of a strange set of events in the depths of Ship City. Soon, the Explorers are drawn into a web of intrigue and ancient secrets that threaten the very fabric of the Lost Horizon itself.

The Flowers of Algorab is the first campaign for Coriolis: The Great Dark. In this campaign, you will find everything you need to experience an epic series of adventures that shed light on one of the greatest mysteries: the fate of the long-lost Ark ship Nadir.
