Spectres of Brocken: Full Spectrum

A supplement for Spectres of Brocken (you will need a copy of the base game to use the materials presented here) consisting of seven brand new World Tendencies (pre-built game settings) by seven incredible guest writers:

MERCURY FRAME LULLABY, by Mike Balles.

Technomantic Century Children fight for the future of humanity with their sentient variable fighter mechs.

Mike Balles (he/him) is a Mexican TTRPG advocate, writer, artist and game designer who works on different fronts to promote and showcase TTRPGs.

Higher Than The Sun, by Austin Taylor.

Struggles for freedom, purpose and escaping the gravity of past conflict in a solarpunk far future.

Austin Taylor (he/they/she) is an award winning game narrative writer, designer, performer, and friend! When not doing any of that, she is one half of your new favorite nerd history podcast Secret Histories of Nerd Mysteries, and when not doing that you probably think he is sleeping, but you would be wrong because there's always another episode of Sailor Moon to rewatch. You can find Austin’s work on https://www.austintaylor.games/ 

Infinite Inkwell, by Fin Coe.

Mystery, crime, and conspiracy abound in the stark, overwhelming City - where progress and corruption dance hand in hand.

Reaping Season, by Ethan Yen.

Hardworking souls work to rejuvenate the blighted Earth after an apocalyptic insectoid invasion, hoping for new growth from the ashes.

Ethan Yen (he/him) is a tabletop game designer and environmental engineer. When not piloting emotionally-charged mechs, Ethan resides in the cyber-realm at ethanyen.com. 

Iron-Blooded Chefs, by Juliet L'mous.

Pilot-chefs fight cuisine battles in titanic Stations to please the dragon lords; but for how long?

Juliet L'mous (they) produces lesson plans, research, and indie games in equal measure. You can find Juliet’s podcasts on the Moonshot Network and their video and tabletop games at mousewifegames.itch.io.

Mortal Waves, Deathless Sea, by Arisia Santiago.

Cities Dreaming, Cities Waking, by Valis Teoh.

Civic summoners bring the dreams of cities and their inhabitants to life, pitting cultures and ideals against other cities.

Valis Teoh (they/he) is a Malaysian designer and artist fascinated with the mundane and fantastical, injecting everyday whimsy into whatever project they work on.
