Congratulations to our friends over at Eerie Games for hitting their funding goal!

As you may have noticed we are collaborating with the wonderful tarot-based TTRPG, Fatebound. Step into the dark academia world of young witches at a military academy, training to become Fates, the most powerful witches in Witchdom. Players must navigate a brutal, high-stakes environment filled with dangerous trials, fierce competition, and backstabbing intrigue. Our campaign launches on Oct 15th but you can catch gameplay on our Twitch channel every other Thursday until launch.

Founded by friends Scott Falzone, Del Toro, and Dacia Pennington, with over 50 years of combined gaming experience, Eerie Games strives to create immersive and captivating narratives. We specialize in dice-less, TTRPGs in the horror and paranormal genres that craft stories that matter. We invite you to explore the eerie and the extraordinary with us, one story at a time.

Together we will write The Fates of Those Who Dream, an adventure combining our systems to create a whole new story. A Gate has opened in The Dream, bridging Ajurea to the world of Fatebound, Yikun Ma, a student from Aetheria Academy has gone missing, and new nightmares are running amok on both sides. Play Walkers in Dream from Ajurea and first-year students from Aetheria on a quest to defeat the new monsters, close the Gate, and save Yikun, who is stuck between.

Which lineage of Confluence is your favorite?

One lineage will be crowned the most favored at the end of the campaign! We will be doing bracket style polls every few days.

Gen Vs. Salians

Lineage Spotlight: Gen
Gen are a fascinating lineage with the capability to molt and shape themselves according to a form that suits them best. Whether they form wheels on the soles of their feet to be able to deliver messages from one end of Motley Coast City to the other or they become big, towering figures that guard a valley with precious plants, the Gen have no size limitations for their bodies, whether big or small. They can emerge from their molting even larger than before.

On an even cooler note, it has been found that under a deep OV-ray scan, one can see the various forms curled deep and layered within their bodies and in the order that a Gen would need them. Are these forms predetermined or self-determined? Who knows…

Would you play a Gen and if so, what form would you take?

Lineage Spotlight: Salian
For all of you who love lizards and salamanders, the Salian lineage may be for you! Salians are an amphibian lineage whose forms do resemble salamanders from Earth, and are adapted to living underground and underwater, though some Salians have also been known to make homes on dry land. 

Much like salamanders, Salians also have webbed fingers and toes that allow them to swim and glide through the water. They also have external gill stalks called rami, giving them the ability to breathe underwater. Some Salian will even have thin stalks on their rami, looking much like hair on a mortal’s head.
