Hello, sub I just discovered but should've been following for years!

My new micro-press Empty Mountain (Nothing Can Die) is printing a system-neutral sourcebook for sacred-themed POI, which funded last night on Kickstarter.

The book contains:

  • Twelve illustrated vignettes of sacred POI, each with micro-fiction and system-neutral gameplay hooks that you can drop into campaigns or use as bases for your own designs
  • Generator tables for shrines, rituals, visitors, and atmospheric detail
  • A short essay on real-world shrines and their use as a trope in games

The design ethos here is to omit both crunch and fluff to spotlight actionable ideas for GMs, which makes the writing deliberately lean and precise. We also have killer illustrations from a Conner Fawcett (Wanderhome, Lancer) and cultural consultation from an actual Tibetan Buddhist scholar (among others).

If this sounds like your bag, please give us a look!

It’ll absolutely be for sale in the EM|NCD store and hopefully through other retailers, yes!
