The Lantern, no. 1, in full, for the month of August, 1635

Due to inconvenient circumstances, I'm launching The Lantern on my patreon, presently.  It's the 15th of July for most of the world, and I won't have time to do this tomorrow.

You can find the Lantern here, on my patreon.  It will be free for download until noon, Mountain Time, on July 22nd.

Thereafter, it will cost $7 USD, which may be managed either though contributing that amount to Patreon, or purchasing it here from Lulu.  Lulu gets a cut if you do the latter, Patreon gets a cut if you do the former.  Alternately, you can choose to give Paypal a cut, but I haven't used them in a while and I'll have to update my account.

As it states on Patreon, The Lantern is a monthly publication supporting fantasy role-play through the presentation of an early 17th-century game setting. Each issue offers firsthand narratives, regional reports and supernatural accounts written in the style of the time. In this debut edition: an adventure to the Old Priory near Cruwys Morchard, with humour and unnatural dangers. Presented for players and game-masters seeking historical texture and uncanny peril.

This publication is written, illustrated and assembled by me, in support of a larger goal: to offer players of fantasy role-playing games a rich, lived-in 17th-century setting, as an aid to worldbuilding. To that end, it conceptualises people, places, time period and relationships between the land and the events taking place in it.

I hope you enjoy it.
