And so,
this is
another
long
overdue
Newsletter.
The last
one,
according
to our
records,
was from
late
April?
How can
this be?
I am
resolved,
then, to
make
these
shorter
and more
frequent
so you
don’t
miss out
on all
the
great
stuff
going on
at the
Outland
Arts
bunker.
Man,
have we
ever
been
busy!
In this
issue we
present
two more
free
creatures
and
reveal
the
first of
our One
Day Digs
for The
Mutant
Epoch
RPG. We
also
share
Handcrafted
Dungeons
for
those of
you who
enjoy
fantasy
miniature
games,
and
introduce
you to
the
artist
Gennifer
Bone. We
close
with an
update
on
Mutant
Bestiary
One and
other
stuff
we're
working
on.
News
First
off, for
those of
you not
following
along on
twitter,
we’ve
released
two more
free
Creatures
of the
Apocalypse:
Backhatcher
by
Brandon
Goeringer
What’s
that
squishy
popping
sound?
Walking
anywhere
in the
wastelands
of The
Mutant
Epoch is
always
risky,
but
swamps
pose a
whole
new
level of
peril.
That
squishy
patch of
ground
your
character
just
walked
onto
wasn’t
as safe
a step
as it
looked,
and with
a
squeal,
a
popping
noise
and the
flash of
piranha-like
teeth,
you’re
PC just
encountered
a brood
of
clingers
freshly
jettisoned
from a
Back
Hatcher!
Quasi
by James
Butler
Its play
time
with
Quasi!
Try to
avoid
getting
your
character
mangled
by this
hunch
backed
humanoid.
It means
no harm.
It just
has to
squeeze
its
beloved
pet so
tight!
The
Quasi,
written
by James
Butler,
is so
named
after
the
literary
character
of
Quasimodo.
The
difference
here is
that
this
powerful,
childishly
curious
and
moody
freak
has none
of the
nobility,
empathy
or
wisdom
of the
hunchback
of
Notre-Dame.
It
instead
spends
its life
making
traps,
harvesting
foodstuffs,
and
obsessing
over a
pet or
object.
Woe to
any
excavator
who
becomes
the
focus of
its
all-consuming
attention,
as the
Quasi is
likely
to
manhandle,
toy with
and
eventually
shatter
the
person,
abandoning
the
broken
pet in
some
filthy
hole or
ancient
room
before
turning
its
attention
to
whatever
takes
its
fancy
next.
One Day
Digs
1 & 2
Double
Feature:
Blood
for
Bellridge
and
Feast of
Freaks
by
Brandon
Goeringer
Do your
characters
got what
it
takes?
Step
into a
world of
post-apocalyptic
gonzo
adventure
and find
out!
Introducing
the One
Day Digs Double
Feature.
Starting
off with
a bang,
our
first
quest is Blood
for
Bellridge,
followed
up after
a short
intermission
by Feast
of
Freaks!
Designed
for
introductory
games at
conventions,
game
stores,
and
private
home
tables,
One Day
Digs are
the
brain
child of
author
Brandon
Goeringer
and
illustrated
by Will
McAusland.
They are
crafted
to
showcase
a bit of
The
Mutant
Epoch
setting
and
flavor,
introduce
some
creatures
and
relics,
as well
as offer
an
example
of how
the
Outland
System
game
mechanic
works.
For the
most
part,
these
adventures
are for
4 to 6
new PCs
of first
rank.
Handcrafted
Dungeons
sets 1
and 2
You've
spent
countless
hours
painting
your
fantasy
miniatures
to look
their
best,
why not
play on some
of the best
looking
gaming
tiles?
Handcrafted Dungeons are
literally
that,
crafted
and
painted
by hand.
All the
details
added to
the
furnished
tiles
are also
hand
built componentsand
placed
in the
dungeons
to add
to the
adventure's
mystery,
depth,
danger
and
treasure
hunting
appeal.
These
tiles
provide
ready to
play
gaming
terrain
that has
an old
school,
epic
sword
and
sorcery
feel,
perfect
for
role-playing
or any
fantasy
miniature
dungeon
crawl.
Sets
include
300dpi
Jpegs of
all
floor
tiles
plus PNG
format
tokens
for VTT
play
(Virtual
Tabletop).
Plus,
each set
includes
a PDF of
Full
Color,
Grayscale
and
Inkjet
Friendlier
files.

Artist
Spotlight
Gennifer
Bone::
On Wings
of Ink
A few
weeks
ago I
was
approached
by
Gennifer
Bone
who has
the
On
Wings of
Ink
blog-portfolio.
She has
done
quite a
bit of
RPG work
and I
like her
style,
however,
one
piece in
particular
grabbed
me. It’s
called
Monster
#5 for
Lusus
Naturae
and can
be seen
here:
http://onwingsofink.blogspot.ca/2014/06/monster-5.html
I
love
this
thing,
tho,
wouldn’t
want my
first
rank
pure
stock to
run into
it in a
dark
barter
town
street.
What're
we
working
on?
Our next
Free
Creature
of the
Apocalypse
is the
Spiker
by Danny
Seedhouse.
This
walking
tank
comes in
both a
wild and
cybernetic
variant,
and will
kill
your
characters.
Another
Pay What
You Want
product
is
coming
soon,
too.
Wasteland
Treasure
Tables
sets 1
to 3 are
well
along
and
includes
three
d100
loot
tables,
with a 'general'
table, a
'stuff
found on
defeated
humanoids'
table,
and an
adventure
seed-rich
'Old
Warzone'
table
that
you're
gonna
love,
but due
to
landmines,
your
players
might
sweat
over.
Upcoming
Sourcebooks
for The
Mutant
Epoch
RPG
To close
out this
newsletter,
here’s
the
latest
on the
next
sourcebooks.
The
Expansion
Rules
Book is
coming
along
slowly
but
steadily.
Its
going to
be a
hefty
book,
requiring
a lot of
careful
playtesting
and
stacks
of art.
Given
this,
smaller
or less
involved
titles
will be
released
during
the
process.
One such
upcoming
and long
awaited
book is
the
Mutant
Bestiary
One,
which is
in final
art
phase
and our
primary
focus
right
now. I’d
love to
get this
into
distribution
chains
by
September
or early
October,
but will
do a
pre-sales
offer as
we did
with the
Gazetteer.
You can
learn
more
about
this
book at
its
future
product
page:
http://www.outlandarts.com/mutantbestiary1.htm
Here
is one
of the
illustrations.
This
thing is
called a
Wailing
Hook
Fiend.
That's
all
folks.
