Court Jests #3

October 31, 2023

We’re back at it again with the second half of our spooky season spectacular! We’ve saved the best for last this month folks.

KICKSTARTER LIVE!

Sanctimonious Slimes vs Expired Epicures is officially live on Kickstarter! If you’ve missed it, this is our first official, in house adventure for Errant. Delve into the weird depths of an ancient dungeon, where primordial humanity sealed away such eldritch horrors as:

  • An ennui-afflicted medusa whose hair has taken control

  • A cult of holier-than-thou slimes who know that to have a fixed shape is to sin

  • Hedonistic undead who won't let their decayed senses stand in the way of a good time

DOUBLE FEATURE COURTESY OF GUS L

We've got not one, but two adventures available for use with Errant, courtesy of the inimitable Gus L.

First: the long awaited conversion for the Mithral best-selling adventure, Tomb Robbers of the Crystal Frontier. If you've already purchased this, you'll be able to download the Errant version immediately!

Second: The Curse of the Ganshoggr, an original adventure for Errant. Dare ye challenge the great gander of the Claymarshes? Available on both DriveThruRPG and Itch.io.

Curse of the Ganshoggr is free to download, but there are 100 limited edition copies of a physical risograph zine available only through the Kickstarter!

ERRANT GM SCREEN

Gorgeously illustrated by Emiel Boven, the Errant GM screen contains quick references to the most common rules and procedures needed to run the game.

Available in both portrait and landscape formats for use with DriveThruRPG's universal GM screen.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Well ghouls, ghosts, and goblins we hope you’ve enjoyed the tricks and treats the Jesters have concocted for you! We’ll be focusing the rest of the year on getting SSvEE finished and fulfilled, but we hope you stay safe and have fun this Halloween and through the coming holiday season. Make good choices, and you’ll hear from us soon!

Court Jests #2

October 9, 2023

Welcome back everyone! We know the court has been quiet for some time; the Jesters have been a-slumbering lightly in our year of rest and relaxation. But now we stir, for the spooky season descends upon us, and we have prepared lots of treats!

Sanctimonious Slimes vs Expired Epicures Kickstarter

The pre-launch page for the first official adventure for Errant is now live! Delve into the weird depths of ancient dungeon, where primordial humanity sealed away such eldritch horrors as:

  • An ennui-afflicted medusa whose hair has taken control

  • A cult of holier-than-thou slimes who know that to have a fixed shape is to sin

  • Hedonistic undead who won't let their decayed senses stand in the way of a good time

We have packed a lot into this 28 page zine to ensure it's easy to pick up and hit the table. Check it out!

Check Into the Swineheart Motel

If you're in need of immediate spookage, Swineheart Motel is a modern day horror adventure designed to be completed in 1–3 sessions, set in a middle-of-nowhere roadside motel occupied by a cast of creepy characters.

Swineheart Motel is the first in the Fringe Variables series, a set of stand-alone modern day horror adventures tied together by the presence of cosmic entities called Archaics. Stay tuned for future releases including: Bloodstained Mirrors, Dead Butterflies, and Deathplane, to name a few.

Errant Available at All the Problems in This World

For folks in the EU, copies of Errant are still available at ALL THE PROBLEMS IN THIS WORLD. These are some of the last copies available of the first print run, so get 'em while you still can!

Further Delights

That wraps up this instalment of Court Jests, but watch your inbox, as a fresh round of japes to harvest for your entertainment should be arriving very soon!

Court Jests #1

June 27, 2022

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Court Jests, the official Kill Jester newsletter. We will use this space to keep you updated with the latest news about our projects and releases, as well as third-party and community content, and really anything else that takes our fancy.

Errant PDF Release

The PDF of Errant is now available on DriveThruRPG.com and itch.io! The current PDF is hyperlinked, with alt text for all images, and screen reader tested using NVDA. We will be working over the coming months to update it with more formats, including a simplified layout PDF for easier visual processing, layouts for mobile, and a freely-accessible online version of the rules to replace the now outdated carrd site.

Errant Third Party License

We have created a special license (heavily inspired by the 'Powered by Lesbians' license by April Kit-Walsh) to let anyone who wants to make content for or with Errant do so. This game is only possible because of the cornocupia of community content available in the old school scene, and so it was only right that Errant be available to serve as a resource for other creators and players. The full license can be found at waylaidby.errantrpg.com.

Japes of Yore

As a final note, for those of you wondering, we do indeed take our name from the inimitable sketch by Brian "Limmy" Limmond. For most of you who don't know what we're talking about, the sketch is below. You're welcome.
