HEARTHBOUND IS NOW A BESTSELLER
HOLY SHIT! A friend pointed out to me that Hearthbound is now a bestseller on Storytellers Vault! I never expected it to do so well, and I'm honored it's had such a positive public response.
If you've ever wanted a turnkey solution for confronting the less savory aspects of the Garou Nation in Werewolf: the Apocalypse, look no further!
When you take away the safety, agency, and credibility of a people, abuse them, and push them to the edges of society, it's only natural that they'll turn to each other for support. Hearthbound is an exploration of subculture that I feel will resonate with many of you.
Long ago held beneath the heels of the Garou Nation, Kinfolk have begun helping Crinos-Born defectors seeking to escape their Septs. Raising them in loving homes, these Crinos-Born have grown into a new tribe. They reflect the values and people of the cultures that raised them, proudly bearing the names their families gave them.
Existing as the children of Shantar, the Hearthbound value inventiveness above all else, finding unconventional solutions to deeply complex issues, both in the literal and abstract. Adhering to the Codes and Creeds of renown, they judge those in the Garou Nation who would use their power to abuse those weaker than them.
This module is usable in any edition of Werewolf: the Apocalypse and provides all the patron, tribe, gift, spellwork mechanics, and story seeds needed to work this new tribe into your new or existing tables!

Lovecraft, Cosmicism, and Cosmic Horror with Josh Heath
Tumblr media
Mage’s premise assumes humanity and the characters matter. What if the universe doesn't care? Terry Robinson and Josh Heath, COO of High Level Games and host of Werewolf: The Podcast discuss cosmicism, the belief that there is no divine presence and that humanity is particularly insignificant. How to combine the epic and indifferent?

An excerpt from the forthcoming Book of the Fallen, provided by Satyros Brucato on the Mage: The Ascension Facebook group:
"Oh, there ARE gods. I can attest to that. Or at least things you might call a god if you were desperate enough to believe that a spirit cobbled up from human thought-stuff is somehow worthy of worship just because it’s stronger than you’ll ever be. That stuff exists. I’ve seen it. Whether or not you’d call those beings “loving” or “just,” however, depends on just how badly you want to get in their good side and how much you’ll justify in order to stay there if you manage it. You can worship those things if you like—I won’t try and stop you. Why should I? You’re cattle to your gods. You’re meat. They feed on you. Religion is the butcher-block. Faith is the axe. Belief is meat and bone and blood.
And you call us the evil ones?
Seriously? Wear an instrument of torture around your neck if that makes you feel more holy, folks. Celebrate your god by eating his flesh and drinking his blood in order to escape the hell he made for you, and then tell me how I’m the one who’s sick in the head. Hey, if that’s your game, go play it. Maybe you can even go old-school and burn me alive after torturing me for weeks. That’d sure teach me what peace and love and justice are all about! 
Now, gods ARE real, at least in the astral sense. People believe in them, and that faith fuels astral energy, gives it form, and lends it power and identity. Thing is, the gods are parasites—not creators or saviors but jackals made of spirit-stuff."

We live in a world full of gods and monsters: spirits, creatures, Paradox entities, Avatar aspects, vampires, beast-folk, godheads, primordial legends, and other creatures too strange for the average mind to conceive.

The authors share their experience researching, selecting, and writing about the entities in this compendium.
Discussed:
The status of Satyros' car
How 20,000 words in art description made sure every entity in the book was pictured
Research difficulties for folklore
Gamer-proofing lore
How culture provides tools to deal with adversity
Listener questions
