@cmyk.games What is this Eldritch object we found in the PAX unplugged library? A simple, super fun Reiner Knizia push-your-luck game. But I can find no evidence that it actually exists online. Did we stumble upon a board game cryptid?

A neon pink box and instruction manual labeled with stark white text FRUIT FIGHT. Another box and adjacent deck of cards has colorful blurry art of various fruits as though in motion. The front side of some cards are visible, each contains one of the blurry, in-motion fruit with a corresponding number , grape - 3, peach - 6, blueberry - 9

Finally, Shattered Rain, my lightning⚡️+ living dead A5 pamphlet dungeon in the style of The Estates is also here, with a very slightly redesigned cover

Shattered Rain cover, featuring the title in gothic-style font over a dark blue background with falling rain

Interior of the Shattered Rain pamphlet. Depicts an Isometric cutaway map of a power transformer, subdivided into rooms the mice have built inside. Notable room contents include: a brain in a jar, a large bird statue, a slab of stone connected by power cables, and a dark shape looming in a flooded cavern

Copies of Sanctum of the Ori Magi are hand assembled, which took quite some time, but I think it was worth it! Now you can own the infinitely folding dungeon for yourself! (See it fold here: brstf.itch.io/ori-magi)

Cover of Sanctum of the Ori Magi, featuring an origami weasel and three origami cranes.
A panel on the left sets up the adventure with some possible hooks. The right panel gives some background on the dungeon, the paper lich that rules it, and his plans to gain more power through folded "wish cranes"

Sanctum of the Ori Magi, propped open to show the interior. The map is visible in the center with a roughly drawn map and 7 connected rooms. Each room has an icon representing the rooms contents.
Encounter tables and reference material are visible on the edges, as well as some room descriptions above and below.

The Vitacernis, Brackish Basin, and Crawler Beyond the Stone all have lovely risograph print editions courtesy of the fine folks at Risolve. I've always loved risograph prints and I'm beyond pleased with how these came out

Cover of the Vitacernis zine. Pencil illustration of a mouse looking up at a tall tree looming overhead. The Vitacernis title is above in scarlet text.

Vitacernis zine opened to its middle spread. On the left page is a map of the interior of the titular tree, with numbered, connected rooms. Below the map is a d6 table of encounters.
On the right spread, titled "Inside the Vitacernis" is the first room description for the Spidersilk Maze: a labyrinth of spider webs with a table of random spider encounters.

Cover of the Drained Temple of the Brackish basin, featuring a sealed door carved with two ambulatory fish standing atop the bell of a jellyfish reaching towards a glowing crystal.

Cover of the Crawler Beyond the Stone pocket mod. A flourescent green spider sketched onto a dark green background in the style of a cave painting. Runes are carved into the spiders body
