[Mortal Coil] Divinity Campaign Frame by Fred Hicks

Monday, December 13th, 2010

The latest Mortal Coil campaign frame is available now at Indie Press Revolution and DriveThruRPG!

Divinity is a campaign frame for Mortal Coil written by Fred Hicks. Fred is an author with credits for Don’t Rest Your Head, Spirit of the Century, and Dresden Files RPG and his campaign frame brings more of his unique perspective. Fred’s take on the interaction between fairy and humanity is a great place to play Mortal Coil.

Divinity is set during the early Industrial Revolution. All beings have a spark of Divinity, and among the fairy it is used to fuel magic. Among humans, it is now being harnessed to create machines, factories, and lay claim to the land. This uses up Divinity at a startling rate, stealing it away from creatures that have long been with us. Each being has the same amount, meaning for a giant or a dragon, most is used just to move it around. Watch out for the wee folk, though. They have magic to spare.

As usual, the cost is only $2.00. Divinity is a great addition to the series, check it out!

[Mortal Coil] Hag Ride Campaign Frame by Julia Ellingboe

The latest Mortal Coil campaign frame is available now at Indie Press Revolution and DriveThruRPG!

Hag Ride is a campaign frame for Mortal Coil written by Julia Bond Ellingboe. Julia is author of Steal Away Jordan and we are pleased to present a campaign frame written with her unique flair. Julia’s interest in the American South has led her to produce a fascinating and entertaining campaign frame.

Hag Ride is set on the Louisiana/Mississippi border in the 1920s, and the setting is focused on two rival juke joints. Issaquena County and East Carroll Parish are primarily African-American, so Hag Ride paints a portrait of a different kind of South than our earlier release, That Which Rises. Hag Ride focuses on the culture and mayhem of the dueling juke joints: Music, dancing, beautiful ladies, and cool, cool cats.

As usual, the cost is only $2.00. Take a look at what Julia has done!

[Mortal Coil] Twisted 50s Campaign Frame by Steve Dempsey

The latest Mortal Coil campaign frame is available now at Indie Press Revolution and DriveThruRPG!

Twisted 50s is a campaign frame for Mortal Coil written by Steve Dempsey. Steve has written some things for Trail of Cthulhu and is a long-time fan of Mortal Coil. He took a theme document that his own group created and worked up a full campaign frame from it.

Set in a magical alternate 1950s Los Angeles, Twisted 50s embodies the noir detective story with a Mortal Coil twist. It gives a good feel for a supernaturally tinged 1950s gumshoe story, and I think Steve did a great job capturing the genre and the feel of a noir story within Mortal Coil.

As always, the cost is only $2.00. I encourage you to check it out for yourself.

[Mortal Coil] That Which Rises

Friday, August 27th, 2010

This is a quick post to announce the latest Mortal Coil Campaign Frame – That Which Rises by Brennen Reece.

That Which Rises is a Southern Gothic campaign frame. Set during the Great Depression in the small town of Elaqua, Alabama, Brennen shows a real grasp of how Mortal Coil really works. The Setting and Magic sections really set a great tone, but the engine of this campaign frame is found in the Villain/Supporting Character section. This truly is a character-driven campaign frame, which plays to Mortal Coil’s strengths. Just like with The Saint-Germain Legacy, That Which Rises presents a setting that I’m just itching to actually play.

As with Old Gods and The Saint-Germain Legacy, brilliant cover photography done by J.R. Blackwell, and the interior character studies by the lovely and talented Jennifer Rodgers.

You can get That Which Rises for $2.00 at DriveThruRPG and Indie Press Revolution.
