MonkeyGod Presents: The Maze of Screaming Silence now available
Category: Games
 Highmoon Media Productions and MonkeyGod Enterprises present The Maze of Screaming Silence. Now for sale at RPGnow.com and ENGS. High up in the mountains called the Wall of the World, where the air grows scarce and the dome of the sky draws close, one may find the cruel and mysterious Empire of Yagga Kong. The Yagga Kong rule a vast domain of gorges, crags, deep hidden valleys and desolate plateaus. It is said that they worship death and keep the bodies of their ancestors in their homes with them. They know many horrible secrets, use diabolical machines and fiendishly potent sorceries. No one really knows why they are so cruel. Perhaps the thin air and cold has driven them mad or perhaps it is the crazed Worm-Gods they revere.
The "City of the Damned" (it has no real name) sprawls at the feet of the Yagga-Kong's most remote outpost, the so-called Last Redoubt. The City has no real economy. It produces nothing and lives like a parasite on the skin of the Last Redoubt. For hundreds of years the Yagga Kong have offered a handsome reward to anyone who can enter the Labyrinth and emerge again alive. Every generation or so, someone lives to claim it. The Yagga Kong's motives for doing this are unclear-apart from cruel whimsy. Perhaps the Thing in the Labyrinth might get hungry if they didn't supply it with victims and the contest is the cheapest way of providing it with the sustenance and entertainment it craves.
Can you brave the Maze of Screaming Silence? Then come walk the crooked streets of the City of the Damned. The Maze of Screaming Silence is a d20 Adventure and City Sourcebook for 3rd to 4th Level Characters. Written by: James Thomson; Cover and Artwork by: William O'Connor; Pages: 110, Fully Bookmarked. WARNING: This book is intended for Mature Audiences only, due to its graphic violent content. Readers' discretion is advised. Now for sale at RPGnow.com and ENGS.
Our first Mature title. Should we celebrate? Please heed the warning, though. When James Thomson wrote this for MonkeyGod in 2002, there was a small bru-ha-ha over whether it should be published or not due to its ultra-graphic depiction of evil in the realm of the Yagga-Kong. In the end it was published, obviously, and it was a good seller, a trend I expect will continue on PDF. To get an idea of what to expect, take a look at one of the reviews available at ENWorld. Enjoy!

HMP's Top 10 Sellers - 1st Quarter 2006
Current mood:  content
Category: Games
I got curious after seeing similar threads at EN World's Industry Forums, so I decided to take a look and compile Highmoon Media Productions' 1st Quarter 2006 Top 10 in sales:
- MonkeyGod Presents: Hellstone Deep
- Liber Sodalitas: Erzsak's Drake Riders
- Liber Sodalitas: The Blind Path
- MonkeyGod Presents: Black Ice Well
- MonkeyGod Presents: From Stone to Steel
- Bardic Lore: Ogham
- Liber Sodalitas: Scions of the Holy Triad
- Bardic Lore: The Fachan
- Bardic Lore: The Villa of Mysteries
- MonkeyGod Presents: All The King's Men
Strictly speaking, the list should be a little longer, as various of these titles actually share a spot with the same number of sales (in which case they got listed in alphabetical order). Hellstone Deep has been a great surprise, being a consistent good seller month after month (which is funny, because we hear that people don't want adventures, and yet 3 of the top 10 are, and that's not counting the rest of my catalog, which is overwhemingly adventures!). Original lines Liber Sodalitas and Bardic Lore enjoyed a resurgence this quarter due to new releases and a couple of promotions, outselling in a very short time heavy-hitters such as From Stone to Steel and Frost & Fur (though make no mistake, those titles are as evergreen as they come). All in all, I am happy with my 1st quarter sales, though I admit they could be better, something I will work towards now in the 2nd quarter.

HMP Releases Liber Sodalitas: The Pneumaphagoi
Category: Games
 Highmoon Media Productions is proud to present Liber Sodalitas: The Pneumaphagoi. The Pneumaphagoi, or the Eaters of Spirits, are a loose organization of individuals that share one bizarre common activity: eating ghosts. Learned from ancient texts or from begrudging tutors, the secrets of trapping and consuming spirits yield numerous benefits, and thus appeal to people with a wide variety of motives. For some it is the thrill of consuming an exotic substance, which like all highs is fleeting and ever more elusive; for others it is the power, which quickly fades. The promise of longevity draws some, although the added years can be gray and thin. Others have more noble motives in their quest to destroy the undead, a nobleness that is quickly clouded by the addictive nature of the task. Many are the paths to becoming an Eater, few that lead away. The Pneumaphagoi is an 11-page PDF detailing a drop-in organization for your d20 Fantasy game, complete with history, tenets, organizational structures, ways of joining, and ready-to-use NPCs. It also includes six new feats, two new spells, two new incantations, and all the necessary rules to bring spirit eating into your campaign along with the possible consequences. Written by: Scott G. Carter Artwork by: Nathan Rosario Available now from RPGnow.com and ENGS
Not too long ago I placed an open call for submission to the Liber Sodalitas line. That very same day, Scott Carter replied to me with an idea for a group of people who ate spirits. I okayed it on the spot. Scott had already written one adventure for us, No Other Gods (our adventure for Testament), as well as a secret project that we have been working on for almost a year, so it was a pleasure to get to work with him once more. Scott is a publisher's/editor's dream freelancer, in that his ideas are great and interesting, and his manuscripts come in with minor need of editing work, which means little time from submission to release.
This organization is simply cool. Scott mentioned he got the idea from a book he read, and thought it would make an interesting new system for fantasy gaming. The use fo feats means most, if not all, characters could have access to it, and the rules are sumple but engaging, driving home the point that eating ghosts and spirits brings power but at a possibly incredibly high cost. What's more, the group can actually work out quite well in a Modern setting as well, so we'll probably be adapting it to release it as part of a possible Modern Sodalitas line of drop-in organizations for Modern-type games.
To top it all off, just today I got another submission from Scott for a Modern mini-setting that brings together two genres that by all means should never, ever, be put in the same room, let alone in the same game. Let's just say that H.P. Lovecraft would be either proud or dead ten times over.
