Sooty Beards Zine

Why have you come to the wretched rock?

A system neutral setting about a fantasy dwarf-hold crossed with a decaying American coal town. People are leaving & things are falling apart. If something doesn’t change–if things can’t change–it’ll become a ghost town soon.

• 8 Run-down urban and wilderness areas complete with “What Used To Be Here?” And “What’s Here Now?” tables to bring out the weight of ages.
• 8 Strange, Dual-Statted Creatures to populate your dying coal town with, whether your game uses d6 or d20.
• Dozens of quirky, narrative items to discover, from screaming lanterns to steampowered ballistic sportballs.
• A “Why Did You Even Come Here?” table to give your characters quick, easy, and miserable motivations for visiting the crumbling city of Vesallberg.
• More than 20 evocative pieces of art and a beautiful map of Vesallberg by Charles Ferguson-Avery.
• CREEPING DEPRESSION 
• Instant talking canaries! Just add booze!
• A glossary of useful terms to get you speaking like a native ‘Berger in no time.
• A supplemental bonus book with d66 backgrounds for Vesallberg locals, compatible with TROIKA!
