The Blue Lotus Hack
Welcome to Varas! And welcome to The Blue Lotus Hack! Inside the pages of this Black Hack variant, you'll find: * New classes and variants of the original Black Hack classes* Magic spells and psychic gifts* Scores of monsters* Dozens of enchanted items* And a mini campaign setting, the southern reaches of the continent of Varas, a world marked by the scars of an ancient immortals' war and the incursion of the Pale Lords and their soul-eating ephemeral hordes. The Blue Lotus Hack is built on the Black Hack 1e ruleset and was originally published on Drivethrurpg in 2018.  I've chosen to unearth it and offer it here, finally linking it -- and the alias I used for it at the time -- to myself.
