We hope those of you already celebrating the holiday season are having a good time; here in dreary old London, the time for cheery mince pies and mulled wine seems horribly remote, despite the best effort of the shops. Luckily, the latest See Page XX is here to bring some Bollywood cheer to your November, with the latest edition of KWAS giving a low and slow look at Mumbai. And if that doesn’t get your spirits up, I defy anyone to listen to “Urban Parkour” from Dust and Mirrors, the original music for Night’s Black Agents, without being seized by a desire to leap from rooftop to rooftop. And continuing the NBA theme, we’re releasing the PDF of Double Tap this month, too.
We’ve also got some good news for Esoterrorists fans with the release of The Esoterrorists 2nd Edition PDF and the Esoterror Summoning PDF to boost your holiday horror, but if you’re more used to holiday drama, you’re in luck – the Series Pitch of the Month club for the DramaSystem is now available to non-Kickstarter backers.
