Creatures and Curses of Yamada
There is tradition and ritual in these woods, not that I know them. They are lost to me now. At what cost? Regardless of whether we have forgotten them, the forest remembers. Inspired by a foggy morning at my grandparents' village in Japan, this zine provides 3 forest spirits--kodama, yamabiko, and ghost lights--to use with Cairn RPG. Consider using them in stories that pit nature vs. modernity, nature vs. industrialization, nature vs. colonization, etc. Created for the Forest of Another Name Cairn Jam. Included: Plaintext, Markdown-formatted filePDF of printable 3-fold pamphlet
