We\u2019re proud to announce the contents of issue 18 of The Unspeakable Oath, <\/em>the first new issue of the magazine since its hiatus began long ago.<\/p>\n

As in the issues before it, the articles in issue 18 come in categories. Arcane Artifacts and Mysterious Manuscripts detail objects ready to be added to your games. Tales of Terror are short descriptions of disturbing situations, each with three possible ways the game moderator could have them unfold in play. Message in a Bottle is a very short story, one page, the only kind of fiction that we publish in the Oath<\/em>. Feature articles are more extensive works to enhance your games. Scenarios are self-contained, complete adventures.<\/p>\n
