((the mall goblin is committing insurance fraud))

Victor: [puzzled] Uh, how? Does the mall goblin own the mall? Are they wrecking merchandise and claiming that it was worth more than it actually was?

Alice: The damn thing had better not be planning to burn down the mall is all I'm saying.

Back to the mall! The Mall (2022) is another adventure zine for Liminal Horror (a hack of Cairn, but there are conversion notes for The Company and Agents of ODD included). I seem to be developing a thing for mall-based horror. Shame I didn’t like Silent Hill 3 all that much…

Anyway, the year is 199X and the mall in Carpenter, Oregon, has been struggling. Current management has plans, but they have less to do with increasing commerce and more to do with shapeshifting eldtrich horrors. This goes about how you’d expect.

Couple neat things. The kick-off is a raffle to give away a car, which has attracted a number of folks to the usually desolate mall, who are then trapped when the supernatural forces are unleashed. Those folks soon form factions, hole up in safe spots and hoard resources. Coupled with the way events and encounters cascade, these factions of relatively normal people give the adventure a surprisingly dynamic feel.

The other thing is the Whisper Card mechanic, which, basically when terrible things happen to a character, they get a card with roleplaying prompts or, in some instances, an indication that they have been replaced by the entity. This is pretty great! Its the first time I’ve seen someone try to implement something that works like the Alien RPG’s secret agenda cards and this is particularly exciting because the Alien cards are basically single use, tied directly to the action of specific cinematic scenarios. The Whisper Cards, though, are not tied explicitly to The Mall — you can adapt them to any sort of game and still have them function pretty well. Exciting stuff!

On a certain level, I understand why people don’t like mall get togethers, but you can really learn a lot about a person by seeing what little trinket they choose to treat themselves with.

Hey maybe you guys should start by trying a different system

D&D going mainstream really messed up people's expectations cause chances are you're not gonna find a DM who has the free time, talent and resources to put on a tale that competes with Tolkien. you're gonna find your friend's roommate Phil who's read one of the manuals a few times and has to pause to get a calculator out to figure out how much damage your attack did and his story is blatantly ripping off a dragon age 2 side quest

"GRRRAAARRRGH! CEASE YOUR MEDDLING! SO SAYETH THE MALL GOBLIN!" `It's the mall goblin!` 'Get him!' "Wait, what? But- No! Be afraid! Afraid, dammit!"

"Why does this place have a mall goblin?" Victor has to ask, staring. "I mean--" he drops his voice "--are they a Nosferatu, or. . ."

"I can't tell from here -- though I suppose whatever the mall goblin might be, they'd probably appreciate a rescue," Alice says, jogging over. "Which might be good for a favor -- hey! Don't hurt the mall goblin, I wanna talk to them!"

DS9 is incredible. it's like:

Episode 17: how far are you willing to go to preserve paradise

Episode 18: Quark has to marry a Klingon lol

Episode 19: examination of systemic racism & oppression also implying that entire show might be one guy's dream/hallucination

Episode 20: heehee spaceship tiny

Hello and welcome to Deep Space Nine. We are a space station, not a starship, so you’ll be spending a lot of time with all these delightful side characters like: bisexual fashion lizard. hologram of Frank Sinatra. goblins. goblin comes in 3 varieties: bartender, nephew, and idiot. our doctor is a twink, our commander is antifa and the captain talks to the gods sometimes. our policeman is sometimes a liquid and the science lady is part worm. we have many fine storylines, such as: Goblin Does A Crime, Watch The Irishman Suffer, or The Horrors Of War. As you stroll along our promenade enjoying a raktajino or delicious jumja stick, watch out for our nefarious villains: Pope Karen. clones of Jeffrey Combs. and a horny bastard reptile man who seems convinced this is actually his show. we suspect he may be possessed by demons. Have fun!

Deep Space Nine: now with Worf™!

Dying malls and office buildings corrupted by extradimensional entities? Sounds like this week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we’re talking about Liminial Horror. A hack of Cairn from Goblin Archives, Liminal Horror takes the barely-there D&D framework of that earlier game and applies to the tropes of investigative horror. It works shockingly well! We also touch on The Mall and The Bureau, two scenario zines. The Mall has intriguing mechanics for introducing stress-related agendas in play that are particularly exciting.
