GM's Guide Preview
I published The Lurking Fear around two years ago. At the time, I intended to have the GM's guide out in around six months. Then life happened. I'm finally back to a place where I can work on the guide. I'm far enough along to say it will be around 15k-20k words, a lot longer than The Lurking Fear. It will contain the following:
-Random tables for generating adventures-GM advice (general)
-GM advice (horror)
-GM advice (specific to the Lurking Fear)
-Optional rules
-Bestiary
-Spells
It should total around 15k-20k words; a bit longer than The Lurking Fear.As a way to stay on pace, I'm going to post most of the GM advice sections on a blog. This will also let me handily link them for people who don't want to download an entire book. The first part is up here, on my new blog, Brackish Draught:

I also have 2 other major projects in the works, a more elegant but less reverse-compatible horror RPG called Fear and Panic, and a GMless dark fantasy game about creating orcs called Dawn of the Orcs. I'm trying to get The Lurking Fear GM's Guide out in a downloadable form before I make any more announcements about them.

Ooooh, nice. I'm a big fan of how efficient and lean The Lurking Fear is, I'd be curious to see other stuff for it.
This is wonderful news! I'm so glad to hear that this project is moving forward! The Lurking Fear is a fantastic game, and the forthcoming GM's Guide will be a wonderful compliment and aid to the original game.
Glad to hear you're still onboard, Mograg!
