We got word this morning that The Unspeakable Oath has been nominated for an Ennie Award for Best Aid or Accessory this year. Woo! Our Call of Cthulhu sourcebook Delta Green: Targets of Opportunity was nominated for Best Adventure and Best Writing, our Monsters and Other Things campaign Road Trip — written by Unspeakable! podcast cohost Ross Payton — was nominated for Best Adventure, and our Wild Talents sourcebook Progenitor was nominated for Best Setting. Meanwhile the Ennies are loaded up with amazing work by many of our friends and colleagues. Congratulations all around!
Meanwhile the 20th issue of The Unspeakable Oath is now in layout and we hope (knock on ichor) to have it shipping in two weeks and in hand at GenCon next month. Click here to order it now.
This is a meaty issue, anchored by a big treatise on the historical Assassin sect of medieval Persia and a pair of time-bending Call of Cthulhu scenarios. We’re also happy to see the return of Adam Scott Glancy’s recurring Delta Green column, “Directives from A-Cell,” which we hope to see if every issue of the Oath from here on out.
