Strahd Loves, Man Kills: Issue Eight Released, Issues Four and Five are Now Free!

It's hard to believe that I've managed to publish EIGHT issues of Strahd Loves, Man Kills! The new issue is now available from my Big Cartel site, and in my estimation it's an absolute brawler--probably my favorite issue yet. Here's what's inside:

Lurid Locations explores four locations you can add to your games: Maximilian's Waxworks, Briarhurst, Wildeacre, and the tower of Eisengraz.

Seeds of Evil details adventure seeds you can use to craft scenarios set in Ravenloft.

Portraits of the Damned details nonplayer characters such as an apothecary with a dark past, a vampire pugilist, a miner’s specter, a member of the Kargat, and Strahd’s bastard son.

Forged in Shadow adds three magical items to your potential arsenal of rewards.

Grim Phantasmagoria explains my goals, principles, and best practices for running adventures in Ravenloft.

Fatal Frames focuses on frameworks to unite your players’ characters into a cohesive group.

Cryptic Alliances revises the Ba’al Verzi cabal of assassins for use in your Ravenloft campaigns.

Also, if you're looking to fill in a gap in your Strahd Loves, Man Kills collection? Look no further! Here's a Big Cartel listing for the back issues that have been out of print until just recently. Please specify which issue you want a copy of in the comments when you order.

Finally, issues four and five sold out of their initial runs, which means the pdfs are now absolutely free for everyone. Please buy issues 6-8 so they too can sell out and become part of the community treasure chest!
