Includes two "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" style comics, both well drawn and with interesting panel breaking choices. I don't want to spoil them but I found them very nostalgic of the kind of spooky stories you'd hear as a kid. My favorite part is probably the full page art in the back, detailed set pieces that tell a story in just one picture. I'm looking forward to any follow-ups.

"In an age before the rise of human civilizations, empires ruled by aliens and gods dominated the Earth. Prominent among these was Atlantis. This nation had its roots in a solar system far removed from our own, and they colonized the Sol system through a mixture of technology and magic that was the hallmark of their civilization."
So what exactly is Neulow Games The Love Witch? Well its all about a hybrid of graphic novel or comic book old school Seventies goodness & Miller's game design according to him ; "
The Love Witch contains three exciting tales that mix high fantasy and horror by master comics-scribe Marv Wolfman, with gorgeous art by Ernie Colon, Don Heck, and others. The book also contains an all-new feat and talent-based magic system that can be brought into any d20 System and which is far more flexible than is typical, as it is not tied to any class- or level-based abilities." And its within these abilities & gaming design that Miller...

Ridiculous price for 4 or 5 pages pdf. no maps included so if you want to buy this to save preparation time...forget that. it is not even a good or full scenario but a short encounter. not what i expected....total waste of money. 5 bucks for just an idea of a scene? a stat block steals at least half a page. google for old judge dredd adventures and buy the old white dwarf issues with jd scenarios. for 2 bucks you get a complete adventure with a damn good story (maps included). you have to imporovise stats from games workshop jd to woin...but that is no problem with the npcs in the rule book....

Stunning artwork makes this worth the purchase even if no other gaming interest is involved. The burial mound detail lends itself to easy incorporation into any game and the rules conversions make the process of running the encounters very straightforward for many systems. Conceptually, the structure has been useful to me for solving the riddle of cultural interactions involving burial practices of superceded races in Bronze Age Wales with which I was struggling so I am looking forward to unleashing this on the players!...

"Stardust the Super Wizard is a name spoken in hushed whispers throughout the universe, He uses his vast knowledge of interplanetary science and sorcery to monitor all inhabited worlds, and when he finds beings he considers exceptionally evil or vile, he dispenses the justice he feels they deserve. Once you've incurred the wrath of the Super Wizard, you are done for!"
For many now the Nuelow games universe setting has been one that we've been dipping into for many years. A combination of public domain comic book series & supplement the whole book is more then the combination of its parts. This formula is one that allows Nuelow to flesh out characters such as Stardust The Super Wizard; "Stardust the Super Wizard from NUELOW Games collects six tales from the Golden Age of Comics by one or its most eccentric and erratic creators, Fletcher Hanks. Although he only worked in comics for a brief time during 1939 to 1941, the over-the-top nature of his work left...

Too many artists let their sketches and concept ideas lie fallow in their notebooks once the finished product is out in the world (assuming it gets to that point). This is unfortunate, as the twists, turns, and dead ends of a project can say a lot about the character thereof. So it is with *The Art of Pepper&Carrot*, as we see through character design what archetypes and personalities characters were curated to have or simply evolved into. So too with locations and magical creatures. All this is presented through well-picked font and graphic choices. I only wish there was yet more (and if you [also feel](https://matrix.to/#/!RNLIIDilczGsGhFHDV:matrix.org/$16- 04318291580918kYIhw:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=grin.h- u&via=chat.weho.st) that the details of the magical world of Hereva are fascinating, they can be perused at a community [wiki](https://peppercarrot.com/en/static8))....

A sequel of sorts to Shadow out of Innsmouth, and a good one at that. The art style is fitting to the setting, the pacing is well suited to the story, and the wait till the next issue is released is torturous. I'm eagerly awaiting Issue 2

The art is absolutely gorgeous.
Seeing all the evolution in the lore as well as concept arts around Pepper and the supporting characters makes it a must-have for all fan of Pepper&Carrot.

Erfreulicher als die Computerspiel-Umsetzung ist die neue Comic-Reihe. Winter’s Teeth wirkt den erfahrenen Vampire-Kenner*innen sofort vertraut durch seine Gothic-Punk-Optik. Der Zeichenstil von Devmalya Pramanik erinnert an die Werke von Timothy Bradstreet, die der World of Darkness ihre einzigartige Optik verliehen.
Erzählt wird die Geschichte der Cecily Bain, die als untote Gesetzeshüterin tätig ist. Als sie das Recht erhält, eine neue Vampirin zu erschaffen, sieht sie sich mit der moralischen Entscheidung konfrontiert, ob sie ihre alzheimerkranke Schwester mit der Bürde des ewigen Lebens belegen soll oder nicht. Zu allem Überfluss nimmt sie eine rätselhafte junge Bluttrinkerin bei sich auf, die neu und scheinbar verloren durch die Stadt irrt. Damit gerät sie in ein undurchsichtiges Ränkespiel, und ein Dickicht aus Rätseln, Geheimnissen und G...
Abut half of this book (around 14 pages) is actual story. Rest consists of ads, credits pages, dividers, multiple title pages and so on.
I felt that the story did not flow smoothly. It was hard to follow, jumped around without rhyme or reason. There was little progression from cause to effect. Text and images did not always worked together, felt like those were concentrated more on setting a mood, than telling a story. I felt the story didn't take advantage of everything the comicbook have to offer as a visual medium.
Furthermore I feel like hermetic choice of subject matter will not appeal to broader audience not intimately familiar with the broader cultural background.
The black and white heavy ink-style art was decent enough. So that's a plus.
Personally - not my cup of tea....

For a large part of this book, I had very little idea what was going on. That's not a criticism, it's all part of what makes this a creepy masterpiece. It's really well written - you hear the main character's London accent clearly in your head, not because of any awkward-looking attempt to write it phonectically; but just because the phrasing feels so authentic and natural. The art perfectly complements the surreal and eerie plot; somehow looking cartoonish and yet grimly bleak at the same time.
One of the most enjoyable comics I've read in a while....

If you like steampunk or humor, look no further.
This series is filled with great characters and explores an alternate world-Europe where a young girl finds that all she knew about herself is wrong. While I can appreciate the color versions, the series originated as B&W, and for the price is a great introduction for those unfamiliar with the series. Be warned: it is addictive, and you may be forced to laugh aloud.
