CAIN now available!
🕑 Added 2024-08-02 19:18:19 +0000 UTCHey all! My new narrative rpg CAIN is now available. I've put a ton of work into this in my free time over the last few months (its been my baby project while my daughter was born) and I'm super happy to announce its release. As always, it's free for all patrons.
You can get it by using this code: https://tombloom.itch.io/cain/download/hqmb_yV2QbWrgZvXUNKFts5Yrr43eDHJfJIl3t8I
It will give you a free copy on my itch.io page: tombloom.itch.io, which you can refer to in the future for updates. I'll stick the store blurb here:
Humanity is cursed, host to a roiling psychic sea barely understood or controlled, a phenomenon arising purely from the darkest portions of the human soul. While most humans are blissfully unaware of its presence, others are more sensitive. When it grows wild in these hosts, SINS appear, terrifying supernatural monsters that are anathema to reality itself.
CAIN is the solution, the global supranational shadow organization dedicated solely to the hunting and execution of sins. It’s mission is clear, its purpose steadfast. Is there anything better than a good hunt? Just think, you’re all set to slaughter to your heart’s content.
YOU are an exorcist, a powerful psychic soldier and tool of CAIN, honed and wielded for one purpose:
WIPE OUT THE STAIN
From Tom Bloom (Magnagothica Maleghast/Lancer RPG): a new narrative role playing game about playing psychic death soldiers hunting monstrosities made of human trauma. So it goes.
Includes:
Rules for making exorcists, powerful psychic soldiers on a campaign of extermination. Nascent monstrosities themselves, they must struggle against the limits of their own expanding powers and bodies.
Rules for creating sins, psychic abominations created when their hosts' latent psychic powers burst free of their body, spurred on by trauma and suffering. Unraveling the mysteries behind their birth and the tragic circumstances of their hosts can weaken them and be used as a weapon in the final confrontation, lending equal weight to investigation and combat.
Rules for running hunts: tense investigations that culminate in a climactic execution scene inside of the lair of the beast
Character sheets and hunt sheets for easy organization
Over 150 pages of insanity, art, and stickers with an aesthetic inspired by lo-fi manga, visual collage, and barber beats album covers.
Slash, and slash, and SLASH AWAY. UNTIL IT IS DONE.

Absolutely incredible! Planning on running this for a Halloween One-Shot. Are there any plans for PDF-Fillable character sheets in the future?
Colin Moreau
Ok i need to print that one so bad
cora
This is so amazing! :D I love the tone and the art style. errata: on page 75, under the "threads" blasphemy power, the third bullet point reads "you cannot see any living matter", which seems to contradict the other items - i think that was maybe meant to be "nonliving"?

Would it be possible to for you to work with DriveThruRPG website to have a printable version world-wide? I would love to have a super-high quality version of it printed, but I can live with a DriveThru quality printed xD

Are there plans for a PDF version that is one page per page? The 2-page spread makes it difficult to find specific pages.

On PC here, when viewing in Chrome, double fs are not properly displayed (as in offered, effect, etc.)
Connor Weide
Just adding to this in case it helps, I'm also seeing this on mobile
Rand Brittain
okay yeah the embedded version seems to work

Most of the text in this PDF is rendering as incomprehensible jibberish on my (Linux) machine even after downloading it again. Will try on a different machine later and report back.
