Hail Pathfinder Fans!
I am posting here to announce the launch of our new setting for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Myself and a group of like-minded, long-time roleplayers are currently developing a Horror Fantasy Gameworld, and I am in process of publishing our first Pathfinder Adventure Trilogy.
I am currently planning our Kickstarter Campaign, and I plan to launch that within the upcoming week. We currently have a Facebook page available at: https://www.facebook.com/TheUnhallowed (we would LOVE for you to become a fan!), and our Website and Forum is already available at: http://www.theunhallowed.com (under early construction). Please keep an eye on our website and Facebook page as we add details about our adventures and gameworld. And please sign up on the Forum while you are at our site, we would love to have you all involved as we bring our game setting to life.
Thank you in advance for your support! Stay tuned for our Kickstarter Announcement and link!

We plan to first publish the three-part horror adventure series, which will be compatible with any Pathfinder game system, and will be ready to drop into any Setting. I have created some of the cover art (there is a Working Covers album on the Facebook Page), and I am actively writing the content for those. A Setting Book is next on the list, which will be a collaborated effort with myself and the other authors. Then we will continue to publish updates to our setting and adventure series as long as there is support for our project. :)
The Kickstarter campaign will help us hire more artists, and pay for the formatting and editing to get these books ready to print.
Thanks for your inquiry!

Like Selphius I'm curious, have you ever actually produced anything for our game or are you coming here and asking for support on the hope that you're a good writer and hire good artists and have a good understanding of the game?
I do appreciate that you took the time to give us links to your sites though, sparse though the site may be.

No, this is my first attempt to produce a published adventure series or sourcebook of any kind. By the time I launch our Kickstarter, I do plan to have some sample pages to post, as well as a video introduction, etc. I am just here to introduce myself and stir some interest in our project.
For those interested, this project was born from a long-time online roleplaying community that has released online multiplayer adventures and custom content for the now-dated PC RPG: Neverwinter Nights together for many years - many years ago. I have been involved in Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying as a player and Dungeon Master almost since its inception (I am 39 years old). I still tote an RPGA DM Card, if that offers me any cred.
The Kickstarter will have a lot more information than this brief intro to our project, including artwork, and sample pages. I am green to publishing, but have done some of my homework. I have already invested in Adobe Creative Studio, and learned how to use it. I have researched our options in printing services, and have a very strong tentative choice in mind. I have also had several in-depth conversations with other writers with very similar published works, and am fortunate to have been taught some valuable lessons that I will do my best to avoid.

Hi Tony,
As some one who got into this a few years back there are ALWAYS pitfall we can't see.
Sounds like you have yourself aimed in the right direction though!
3 years in and I'm STILL learning things I should have. If you ever need a hand or have questions on something shoot me an email at ScottGladstein@LittleRedGoblinGames.com and I'll see what I can do.

![]() |
Fair enough, I look forward to seeing your samples. I'm a big fan of horror.
As a bit of unsolicited advice, I'd recommend you take LRGG up on their offer of assistance, they've done successful kickstarters before (or maybe just the one, I'm not sure of the exact number) including one that is actually looking like it will deliver its product ahead of schedule.

Troskoski |

Hello again,
It's been a long time since I updated my post here, but I have some worthy news to share with you all. We have finally set a date for the launch of our KickStarter Campaign! Our Project will be running from October 1st to the 31st, and we will be posting links and news throughout the month as we lead up to the date.
We will be unveiling the identities of many of the special guest contributors we have recruited, and share some clues to some of the offers we will be providing as backer rewards. Our cast or writers now includes a Paizo RPG Superstar Champion, Iron GM World Champions, and an Ennie Award-winning game developer! Our Stretch Goals will also include other guest contributors, including another RPG Superstar Finalist.
Thanks again for your continued support!

I'm excited to hear about this! I mean, technically I read about it, but's just semantics. If this even approaches the coolness that was, is, and shall be Ravenloft/Masque of the Red Death, then I will throw the remainder of my paltry bank account at it on October 1st! One idea that could be REALLY neat for backers is a level where if they invested, they could pitch some ideas for inclusion into the campaign setting, so long as the ideas are within reason of course. Believe me when I say that people would be interested in that.

Troskoski |

Thanks for the feedback, Silver Prince! We have a confirmed backer level planned that includes working with one of our designers to help develop one of our Iconic Characters. These characters will be included in all of our future products, with full credit to the contributor who assisted in their creation. We will also have a private 'Backers-Only' forum that will be viewable by backers of all contributor levels, where we will be revealing sneak peeks into our development, asking for feedback from our community, and running polls on the overall direction of our story, and asking for ideas on adventure hooks that you guys would like to see.
I am making updates to the website this morning, but I would encourage you, and everyone else interested in getting involved, to help make our Adventure Path and Campaign Setting as full of horror and depth that we possibly can by registering on the forums now, and getting involved in the development while we are still in the early(ish) stages of fleshing out the setting for The Unhallowed.
Thanks again for your interest and support. We will be planning on open Ask Us Anything chat session in the very near future (where we will be unveiling the first of our yet-unannounced developers), and we will be sure to post news about that here as soon as we work out the details.

No problem, Troskoski!
I would be more than glad to join the forums, under one caveat: there is no 'hidden cost' to joining the forum, such as being bombarded with telemarketing on my e-mail, being engaged in a Faustian bargain, having a truncating trufflaffacous showing up on my doorstep, ect. lol.

Troskoski |

Hah!
I assure you, there is none of that. I run this website and server myself, with absolutely no advertising, data-mining, list-spamming, or anything else. If you receive any email, it will be from me, and completely relevant to only news and information about The Unhallowed. You have my word. :)

As I mentioned in my thread above, we have several authors and contributors that we will be unveiling the identities of over the coming weeks. To add to the suspense, two of my co-collaborators will be introducing themselves to you all tonight under a veil of anonymity. Both have been hard at work helping to finalize many of the finer details of our gameworld, and their contribution to this project can not be understated.
So, tonight I am introducing to you all, two of the designers that will be helping me bring horror to your gaming tables: Famine and Pestilence.
Tony Troskoski

Divinitus |

That is refreshing to hear. A lot of forums tend to have all that extraneous junk attached to it which is very irritating to find out about afterwards. I applaud you sir!
What sort of things would you prefer us to post about? I have several ideas that, as a longtime Ravenloft DM, I feel PCs and GM/DMs would love included. I also will be sending you a PM about something very interesting, so if you would check your inbox here on Paizo, it would be much appreciated.

Famine-Unhallowed |

Bow, mortals. We have come for your world and all the souls in i...
AHEM. Ack.
Sorry, folks. A little internal struggle of wills there. Much better now.
I am Famine. I am on the development and design team for The Unhallowed, where evil and hopelessness reign.
And FAMINE
Uh...yes. Yes. There will definitely be famine and starvation of many types. The world we're building aspires to be rich in multiple horror themes for your next several characters to enjoy. We will provide you with adventures and options that let you explore classic fantasy horror tropes, and of course add more. Whether gothic or Lovecraftian, gritty or poetic, if you want a spooky, sad story of hopelessness and evil, Unhallowed is for your table. We also intend to support our detailed realm with plenty of products for GMs and players alike, so be sure to support our kickstarter.
Or your throats will rot to dust.
Uh....yes. That's very helpful. Thank you.
Anyway...please help us keep the excitement going. This project will really please fans of Ravenloft, Lovecraft, or man-made horrors, and our adventure ideas and stretch goals are sure to get you more goodies from increasingly successful luminaries in Pathfinder design and fiction.
A common criticism of places like Planescape and Ravenloft is that there is no hope. Your PC does not make a difference. Why bother? I think it's important for a good horror setting to make your PCs feel the bottom has fallen out, the walls are closing in, and worse. However, some of you are going to want to shine a light in the bleak setting we are working on.
Good luck, fools! I foresee many soulstones in my—
Oookay. In the struggle to control my alter ego, I think it's best if I get back to work and let Famine do his thing. You and I can be friends out here, but in the world of Unhallowed...well....
But you do need hope, so you can build a third character to play in the world we are developing. Which is definitely going to murder or corrupt the first two.
BWAHAHAHAHA
Gulp. So...here to explain some of the exciting ideas we have to give you players, and your third characters, a little hope in affecting the outcome of the world is one of my best friends. We go back THOUSANDS of years. Please welcome your second Unhallowed mystery designer...
Pestileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeence!!

Pestilence-Unhallowed |

This is Pestilence, Prince of Plagues, chiming in on the heels of my fellow Horseperson Famine! Thank you Famine(s) for that excellent introduction! I personally only have Pathfinder design experience with a major 3rd Party Publisher, and am the rookie on the team.
Unlike my good buddy and fellow 4H-er, I am totally not a horrid nearly all powerful daemonic entity hell bent on seeing the world end in suffering. Nope! Scout’s Honor. I am just here to be your friend! I love mortals! My real problem has always just been a big PR issue. That whole 14th century was just a crazy misunderstanding. So it is totally cool to hang out with me! The only thing that’s infectious is the laughter! Hah. Ha ha…
Not buying it?
Ah well.
I am really thrilled to be working on this project! I’ve been a big time horror fan since well, forever, and I can’t wait to play a part in putting some chills down some spines! It seems like nobody takes me as seriously as they used to back before penicillin and antibiotics, and I aim to change that with Unhallowed. It’s definitely worth getting the band together a bit earlier than… initially scheduled.
We’ve got a lot of exciting things planned for you mortals! I know we have a lot of cool ideas for this Kickstarter, including letting you play a starring role in shaping the manner of your own destruction. Like some big shot hero could even end up working with us otherworldy entities on some art and design work for Unhallowed. We also really like the idea of community involvement shaping the stories of the setting, so that you only have yourselves to blame when you ultimately die. I mean, it is totally possible for some of you to bring hope and light to an otherwise doomed world, if you try hard enough. You see, when you play the game as long as we have, it just isn’t fun without a challenge, so we like to give ourselves some handicaps every once in a while.
It’s kind of like golf. Except with souls.

Troskoski |

Patience, ShadowcatX.
As I said in my post above Famine's, this is not the day to reveal the identities of any of my Harbingers. We will be unveiling each of them one at a time as we draw nearer to the launch of our Kickstarter. I have held them in reserve for a while, and they have been itching to tease you all with some of the details of our setting.
I can promise you each of our anonymous designers has at least some design experience for a major 3PP, and knows the Pathfinder system very well. Furthermore, they have great chemistry and watching them work has been a lot of fun, ...if not also a bit disturbing. Soon you will be meeting War. Be ready...
My post from Saturday lists the group's credentials.

No, this is my first attempt to produce a published adventure series or sourcebook of any kind. By the time I launch our Kickstarter, I do plan to have some sample pages to post, as well as a video introduction, etc. I am just here to introduce myself and stir some interest in our project.
As a beginner that is a good thing to do. I would suggest that you also have links to samples or work so people can see what to expect from your company.
For those interested, this project was born from a long-time online roleplaying community that has released online multiplayer adventures and custom content for the now-dated PC RPG: Neverwinter Nights together for many years - many years ago. I have been involved in Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying as a player and Dungeon Master almost since its inception (I am 39 years old). I still tote an RPGA DM Card, if that offers me any cred.
OK it is good to have a gaming background when starting something like this, but it is also good to have a business background too. Both are equally important.
The Kickstarter will have a lot more information than this brief intro to our project, including artwork, and sample pages. I am green to publishing, but have done some of my homework. I have already invested in Adobe Creative Studio, and learned how to use it. I have researched our options in printing services, and have a very strong tentative choice in mind. I have also had several in-depth conversations with other writers with very similar published works, and am fortunate to have been taught some valuable lessons that I will do my best to avoid.
I will just say you might want to get the help of a graphic designer or someone with a graphic design background to help you with this project to make sure you get what you want out of the Adobe Creative Suite. I have been a graphic designer & web master for over 20 years and I can tell you those programs have a steep learning curve and a lot of first timers can get caught up in things that they might not be used to in publishing. Congrats on getting started and just do the best job possible.

Troskoski |

Thank you for your feedback! I have been trying to distribute much of my time on the business, promotion, and design elements of the campaign, and leaving the writing to those much more experienced. I was lucky to have found an outstanding source of videos on Creative Suite by a gentleman named Terry White that have proven to be invaluable as I learn, and I am getting the hang of it a little. I do have a graphic designer local to me that I can call on, but his time is often even more tied up than my own.
I really appreciate the feedback. I will be taking your guidance to heart, and I will absolutely be doing the best job I can, and we will provide timely, quality products worthy of staking our future reputation on.

This seems like a cool project. I'm planning a KS project of my own shortly, so I have personal reasons to observe your progress; but more than that, I love a good horror campaign, so I'm excited to see what yours has to offer.
In the website description, you call The Unhallowed a "horror fantasy" setting, and later a "dark, classic fantasy setting." I'm curious to know more, since "horror" can connote a lot of different styles. Are you leaning towards gothic horror (ie. slow, menacing terrors that corrupt the mind and soul), or modern cinematic horror (ie. armies of zombies), or Lovecraftian horror, or something different?
What sorts of horrors lurk in the "otherwise-uninhabited, hostile lands"? That statement sort of implies undead (since, if the horrors were alive, the lands wouldn't be uninhabited), but I'm not sure. Can you flesh this out a bit?

Endzeitgeist |

I'm cautiously intrigued by this - seen too many "heirs" to Ravenloft's legacy fail, but there's potential here.
Which type of horror are you aiming for?
The title evoked a sense of "Demon's Souls/Dark Souls" from me - two games I loved. Are you aiming for a desolate, mysterious world akin to theirs?
Also: Looking forward to seeing a sample of your work! :)

Troskoski |

Absolutely Gonturan, I'd be happy to!
As Famine so eloquently described it: "The world we're building aspires to be rich in multiple horror themes for your next several characters to enjoy. We will provide you with adventures and options that let you explore classic fantasy horror tropes, and of course add more. Whether gothic or Lovecraftian, gritty or poetic, if you want a spooky, sad story of hopelessness and evil, Unhallowed is for your table."
To be more specific about my description you referenced for the first Adventure Path trilogy that our initial Kickstarter campaign that we are launching next month is for the funding of (and hopefully without giving too much away...): we will be focusing this series in a remote wilderness frontier region of the greater gameworld we are developing. Here, the settlers from all of the remote farms and villages have fled in the face of an encroaching shadow, abandoning their homes for the safety of the scattered, walled city-states around the region. So to answer your question more specifically, the first AP is more toward the 'modern cinematic horror' style you describe above, with hordes of undead roaming these abandoned settlements. The second proposed AP - which is only very minimally outlined at this point - will fit your 'slow, menacing terrors that corrupt the mind and soul' description, and already has me a bit creeped out... (See my '...if not also a bit disturbing.' quote above.)
Now that our small group has expanded to include many other talented developers, we are now working on several different projects simultaneously. Pestilence and I are working together to complete the main content of this first AP as Famine and War work on the Campaign Setting and Player's Guides to The Unhallowed - much of those details we will be incorporating into this first AP. We also have agreements with other well-respected designers and authors on board to add stretch goals to our project, which we will be announcing as we near October. Our artists have a stack of requests, pending the success of this crowdfunding campaign, including cartography, character art, etc.
Thank you for your interest and inquiry. I hope my long-winded explanation helps clear some of that up for you.
Tony Troskoski
The Unhallowed

Troskoski |

Endzeitgeist,
Thank you for the interest in our little project! The title is definitely a suggestion to the underlying story behind the greater Campaign Setting. This is a world in crisis, where the darker powers are using an advantageous position to spread chaos across our world. This initial Adventure Path will only touch on that, but our future Player's Guide and Campaign Setting books will go much deeper into the wider story, and I think you will find it to your liking!
Also of note is that these adventures are being designed with our setting in mind, but much of the information specicific to our setting is being included as sidebars, and these horror stories we are weaving are designed to be easily placed in any other published or homebrew setting without any modification, aside from minor place names if they are not applicable to your own worlds.
Allow me to add, you will most certainly be getting a sample of our work!
Thanks again,
Tony Troskoski

So...the immediate and initial response I get from seeing horror and d20 - what rules will you use? Having more than 10 years DMing horror in d20-settings, I have found that unmodified rules work...barely.
(How) Will you tackle...
...psychological issues?
...sanity/madness - not like standardPFRPG handles it, a proper system?
...add a fear rating (see SGG's Gruesome Undead Templates)?
...handle alignment (b/w versus shades of grey)?
Can you give us an approximation at how pronounced the fantasy-aspect will be? Horror and fantasy can clash if the former turns everything weird from the get-go...
Not playing the inquisitor, mind you, just honestly curious!

Changing Man |
Hmm...
I, for one, hope that there will be a small Player's Guide for the 1st AP to help people decide if the project, setting, AP, etc. is really for something for them or not. Kind of like what Paizo does with their AP's; I've always used those to "not judge a book by its cover", and see if it really is something that interests me/ my players. Perhaps that could kill two birds with one stone, and give people a chance to preview your work and/ or abilities?
Just my €.02

Famine-Unhallowed |

There will absolutely be a small Player's Guide and GM guide to help your table run an effective, emotional horror game. We Horsemen don't like that fourth wall interruption where people take a bite of pizza and then talk to the vampire in the mists.
First, chew, swallow, then talk.
But also, we feel the pinnacle of fantasy roleplaying is character immersion. We know you can treat the Pathfinder game like a miniature wargame and make it all about combat and rules. And we don't judge that. If that's how you do fun, we will definitely have challenging encounters built to murdify your characters, and you'll enjoy overcoming those scenes.
But if you want what we think is the best game..talk in character. React to things as a flawed, mortal character would. Be afraid in character.
So we will have mechanics that try to help maintain that atmosphere without seeming forced on you.
As for a developed game world and guides to it, we will have a small guide for players and GMs as our first stretch goal for the initial AP. We will add material to that and develop a larger product as stretch and backer levels increase. And Of course, with sufficient demand after the KS, we will make that material and more available in a stand-alone world guide. And I think people will really enjoy the unique approach we are taking to developing our world.
Enough teasing for now. There's a crop somewhere that requires a plague of locusts.

Endzeitgeist |

The Spirit of the End-times approves of the basic approach to creating immersion - no puny vistas to detract from the desolation of the dreadful visions woven...
Seriously though - I hope you guys will focus on the roleplaying aspect - from the top of my hat, I can name a bunch of action/horror meatgrinders, but subtle stories with detailed character-development etc. - not so many...

Famine-Unhallowed |

I love that we are getting encouragement, as well as eager advice from people who want to see us deliver a fantasy horror setting that will last. We know it's a tall order, but we are definitely working to creat a total package. We like the initial Eberron approach: mechanically, if it exists in Pathfinder, it exists in our developing world.
Having said that, we promise creepy moments of horror, "gotcha" revelations, gritty violence, darkly-complected villains, and more. The principle writers are in-character roleplayers who want to see the sorts of scary moments we will provide.
And we promise multiple ways for fans, backers, players and GMs to impact the stories. Though bringing light to a world in darkness is a hard thing, and the gauntlet will claim many lives.

Famine-Unhallowed |

Good evening, all. Been out to Pluto for a little vacation. I love it there. Cold. Barren. Lonely. And room and board is way down since the place got downgraded from planet.
But that's not what I came to talk to you about. I came to introduce you to another good friend of mine. This acquaintance really knows how to bring the fun to a party. I confess, cometimes my victi— errrr...worshipers just sort of lounge around, conserving their energy, hoping someone else brings the beer and pretzels. But this One, well....some people know how to bring a little activity. Make some noise.
War might sound like a name you give to a massive violent conflict, but like my friend Pestilence, War is very misunderstood through history. I mean...if you're a human mortal, War is really your favorite Horseman. I deprive you of what you need to survive, until you die a slooow painful death. My boy Pestilence does things to you. He gives you things you didn't want, and kills you gruesomely, without the defiant dignity of starvation.
Death...well, Death is lazy. He just sits and waits for us to do all the work.
But War. That's your Horseman for sure. I mean, we are off finding new ways to kill you and everything that came before you or after you. But War, War gives you what you want. War lets you kill each other.
It's enough to make you crazy. So War is gonna talk about going crazy in the world of the Unhallowed, where your trusty Horsemen are creating rules for horror, madness, and despair for you next several player characters.
I'd talk to you about it, but The Road is on Netflix. Gods (meaning us), I love this movie.
So...you've waited long enough. And hopefully didn't eat anything while I was rambling on. Without further ado, please, drink a little barium and help me give a Warm welcome for....
Waaaaaaaaaaarr!

War-Unhallowed |

Hello,
Just letting you know I’m alive and around but I prefer to work in backgrounds, which is what I’ll be doing for the Unhallowed Project. Putting all of the numbers in place to make sure when the games starts you have the best chance of killing each other properly.
Currently I’m crunching some numbers for the insanity mechanics of the world. I have a few ideas I’m tossing around and will give you updates to my progress as I go. I’m taking a page out of pestilence's books for this. Watch out madness is contagious.
Love,
War

Troskoski |

Wonderful!
Now that we have the pleasantries out of the way (... if you consider being introduced to Famine, War, and Pestilence pleasantries), I would like to take this time to fulfill my promise to you. I told you that we would be revealing the identities of our writers over the coming weeks. It is that time that I unveil the first of my Horsemen.
Pestilence is a man of many words, and in his line of business, that is a marvelous thing. And while he is extremely humble, I am here to tell you that he is fantastic at this business of writing roleplaying adventures and accessories. When I began plotting ideas for this project, I tried my best to put all the dread and terror into it that I could muster. Then Pestilence came along, and what I found under that well-worn mantle of his was a mind made for weaving plots of horror.
I have had the pleasure of working with him for a little while on this project, and trust me when I tell you that this man was born to do this. He is the current reigning Iron GM World Champion. He is presently contributing as a cover writer for a major 3rd party published product and was a finalist in the 2013 Kobold Lost Magic contest. His day job is as a PE licensed civil engineer. By night, he finds new and terrific ways to scare the Hell out of us. It is without further ado that I remove the shroud from the first of my Horsemen - a name you will come to know and fear - Stephen Rowe!

Pestilence-Unhallowed |

Wow. That was brilliant. Yes. I am just some humble mortal environmental engineer who does his best to keep evil bad nasty bacteria out of your nice clean safe to drink water supplies. I certainly have no nefarious intentions!
I am, in fact, the current Iron GM world champion!
I’d like to reiterate that I am the rookie on the team, and am darned proud to be in the company I keep. I am sure people will be as impressed and excited as I am when my fellow Horsepeople get revealed.
Horror has been near and dear to me ever since I convinced my parents that the Crypt Keeper wasn’t going to give me nightmares (suckers). I hope that the love I have for this genre really shows in the final product. I certainly guarantee that my heart and soul (not to mention the souls of a few thousand innocents) are going into this game!

Pestilence-Unhallowed |

Pestilence here, to notify of some new stuff regarding the Unhallowed!
We've updated the website at TheUnhallowed.com with some more detail on the setting, magic, and religion. We are taking things in what I believe to be a unique direction and are very curious to hear what your opinions are on the matter!
Over at the forums we are having a mini writing challenge where people are invited to get on and submit a two sentence horror story introduction.
Thank you to everyone who has been contributing with input and suggestions for horror, gaming, and the setting in general! We definitely appreciate your opinions and would love to hear from everybody who is interested in helping us to make Unhallowed as awesome as possible!
I would personally really appreciate a grass roots movement to make disease mechanics scarier! Let me tell you, back at the dawn of time, onsets and frequencies measured in days seemed like practically the same thing as seconds.

As a huge fan of Ravenloft & esp Masque of the Red Death reading the setting teases over at TheUnhallowed.com has me imagining dark tales of sinister forces trying to extinguish the last bastions of life, sanity, and love through blood, bone, & madness. I love fantasy horror and October is the best time possible to play on that yearning to dabble in the occult and unleash your darkest gaming fantasies upon your unsuspecting players.
I'm so in on this. The possibilities of the magic system alone makes me want to write alternative curses and hexes for a coven of witches. It makes me want to unleash a cabal of zealous inquisitors upon a city rife with corruption and terrified innocents.

No sir. I am the 2013 winner of the main tabletop contest that occurs every year at Gencon in Indianapolis. It is the original contest that the rpgcrossing contest is based on (I assume). Folks who are unfamiliar can read about it over at Irongm.com.
King of Vrock,
Good to hear from you!
Thank you for the feedback! We are very excited about our new approach to magic and gods; it is one of those cool ideas that should hopefully breed a lot of creativity. My fellow Horsepeople and I are big on making a world where those mortals are ultimately responsible for their own destruction or redemption (so they can only blame themselves really).

Greetings again from The Unhallowed!
Thank you all for your fantastic support so far. We seem to have sparked some interest in our little project, and I appreciate the response and encouragement from everyone!
On the heels of our last reveal, we have another writer to unveil today. Prepare to be exposed to the next of The Unhallowed's Horsemen: War!
I have followed the success of War's prior project with great interest, and I am very happy to announce that we have her experience and talent to draw from as we push through the writing and design of this project. She won the Iron GM event at Phoenix ComiCon this year, so you know she's a presence behind the screen. She is also lead designer for the very successful Wicked Fantasy kickstarter. She brings a lot of knowledge and literacy to the Unhallowed team and we're proud to have her. She is a mechanics fiend with a GM's perspective on bringing challenging conflict to the players, so it's no surprise we're introducing her as War.
Again, without further ado, I present to you another of our all-star writing team - Gillian Fraser!

Thank you for the lovely introduction Tony, I'm very excited to part of the writing team for the Unhallowed.
I will be working very hard in background of the project making sure that all the numbers work. While Pestilence and Famine are amazing writers in their own right. I will be focusing heavily on the mechanics of adventure path, iconic characters and possible player's guide. It should be good fun all around. Currently we're talking about special racial variants for the world, custom archetype and lots of other goodies.
Hope you all enjoy it.
