The Inner Circle is Live on Patreon

     Infinite Black’s Inner Circle is now live on Patreon. Developing Journey to the Tree of Sorrows is now a major part of Infinite Black. Journey to the Tree of Sorrows is a dark world of Lovecraftian horror where the characters search for forbidden knowledge across the world, across time, and into different dimensions. We are developing it through stories, audio productions, art and games—especially roleplaying games.
     Members of the Inner Circle will have the materials sent to them as they are published. Plus, for only 3 more days, members of the Inner Circle can get up to $100 worth of tabletop gaming gear sent to them just for signing up. Please join now. We are having a great time.

“The Chamber of the Yellow King”
Short Story Released

     “The Chamber of the Yellow King”, the first Journey to the Tree of Sorrows short story has been released!
     The veil between the earth and all else is particularly thin tonight, and Gabriella is sneaking through the stonework corridors beneath the university. She and her companions are searching for an ancient tome bound in sickly yellow leather that will let them conjure magic more powerful than she has ever called upon before. Such books are known to be protected by horrific curses, and what’s more, the spell must be cast in the deathly chamber of the Yellow King, where evil is known to dwell.
     You can get it for Kindle from Amazon or as PDF directly from the Infinite Black online store. But also, if you join the Inner Circle at least the $3 “Journeyman” level, you will receive the PDF of the story free, as well as the rest of them as they are published.
     The cover features the latest major work of art from David LaRocca. He also released it this month. It is called “White Night, Black Stars, Dim Carcosa”. It features one of the most sinister beings in the Lovecraft mythos. If you would like to have a signed print, you can get it from the Infinite Black online store.

An Excerpt from the Libro Deamonia” Released

     Beware the cult of the dead yet deathless god beneath the waters!  The first Journey to the Tree of Sorrows audio production was released earlier this month. It is “An Excerpt from the Libro Deamonia”, A nihilistic cult has emerged in Europe, and Father Miguel, a 17th-century priest and Inquisitor, is concerned regarding the church's readiness to combat it. You can listen to it on YouTube right here:

War of Kings Makes #7 in “Hidden Gems of 2017”

     Meanwhile, we were very pleased that Rob Oren calls War of Kings one of his “hidden gems” of 2017. It is number seven on his list, right behind Unearth. That is great! You can check out exactly what he had to say about it right here at about the 3 minute and 3 second mark.
Rob Oren says War of Kings is one of his "Hidden Gems" of 2017.
     War of Kings is our game of medieval kingdom-building and conquest. Players gather resources to build their kingdom, fortify it, and raise armies to attack their neighbors. But, beware of the marauders rampaging through the land! We created a five-minute how-to-play video to bring everyone up to speed on how to play.

Elder Dice Production Photos

We are very pleased to finally have pictures of finished production dice for all three sets of Elder Dice. Don’t they look beautiful?
     If you are not in on the Elder Dice campaign, there is still time to make a late pledge, but we will be closing it down very very shortly! If you want them, you need to place your late pledge today.

Individual Elder Dice are Now Available

     Individual dice are now available on the Elder Dice PledgeManager! Many people asked us for these during the campaign and at the time we weren't able to get them. But, we promised that backers would get the first opportunity to get them if and when they became available. Here's your chance! We have a very limited supply. Click here to return to the PledgeManager, login, unlock your pledge, and add the extra dice you want!
     These dice will look just like the dice that are included in the Elder Dice polyhedral boxes. So, if you want individual d4s, d10s, percentile dice, and d20s we have them. Get a handful of d4s to roll a barrage of magic missiles, d10s and percentile dice for Cthulhu RPS, or matching d20s for advantage and disadvantage rolls in 5th edition now is the time to get them.

TerraTiles: Misty Moorlands Stock is Critically Low

     The stock of TerraTiles: Misty Moorlands is critically low. There are less than eight boxes still available in the United States and only two available in Canada. If you want a box for your gaming table, now is the time to pick up one up from the RAINN Studios online store. There are no current plans for a third printing. We have a full slate of new projects for 2018, so we do not know when a slot might open up for a possible reprint.
     Also, there are less than 100 boxes of Coasts and Rivers remaining in the United States and Canada as well. You can pick one of those up right here on the RAINN Studios store.

Rob Oren Reviews Incantris (and Loves It)

     Rob Oren posted his review of Incantris and he loved it. He a fantastic guy in the gaming community and it was great to get to meet him at GenCon. Here is his look at Incantris.
