Praise for MM/MV:
"I utterly adored this book. ... 5 stars, seal of approval, best of-tag; if I currently had the time for a Top ten list, this’d be a contender. I’ll give it my EZG Essentials-tag instead. I hope you check out this book and love it as much as I did."

-Endzeitgeist

128 pages of ghostly adventure!

A ghostly setting that mixes pirates, ghosts, graffiti, swamp monsters, and the spirit world with the themes of Kakfa, Lovecraft, and Camus,.

SETTING

Within the dark demiplane of Anon, the city of Vestige is built atop the crypts and ruins of countless ancient cultures. It lies atop Vestibul, an entrance to the surreal realm of the dead. You will find the living and ghosts existing in tandem in this unusual place.

ADVENTURE

Escape from Ghost Island is a complete adventure suitable for approximately 5th level characters that introduces you to a truly unique and surreal realm and showcases the setting organically as the adventure progresses. In the adventure, you are newly arrived and find yourself stranded on the mysterious, mist-shrouded island of Anon, in the strange city of Vestige—where ghosts mingle with mortals as if it were commonplace. However, you won’t have much time to gawk before you become swept up in a Kafkaesque adventure—and even more danger! You must overcome challenges and puzzles, uncover hidden secrets, come face to face with madness, the fragility of life, and the absurdity of existence to escape this place. Can you maintain hope in the face of impossible odds? Will you survive nefarious pirates, dangerous creatures, or the land of the dead itself? And, if your character dies while exploring Anon, your adventure won’t be quite over...

COMPATIBILITY

This book is written to be as system-agnostic as possible while still remaining compatible with most editions of the world’s most popular roleplaying game (especially the 5th, 3rd, and 1st editions). It provides everything you need to run a self-contained RPG campaign set within Anon, or to import the demiplane into another campaign setting of your choosing. Regardless of your favorite edition or system, you should be able to use this book with minimal conversions. The book also contains a 4-page rules-light system so you can use this book as a standalone game in a pinch.
