Produced by Carlos Cisco and Mike Underwood, the minds behind Pistolheart and Bastion of Hope comes Emerging Evils; a collection of 8 terrifying encounters, each containing an T2 or T3 adversary (Solo or Social) and a paired environment built specifically to give your players a horrifying night they’ll never forget. If they make it out alive at all.

PistolHaunt Menagerie of Mentorship

Each of these encounters was written as part of the PistolHaunt Menagerie of Mentorship Design Program, produced by Carlos Cisco and Mike Underwood, and hosted by Heart of Daggers as a part of Fear Fest. Mike and Carlos selected 8 designers from a pool of submissions of uncredited designers to guide through the writing and design process from beginning to end, simulating what it would be like working as a freelancer with a producer, while also providing guidance and mentorship during the period after a freelancer usually invoices and waits for release. Many of these designers have already gone on to land their second contract. Each encounter is illustrated by Per Janke.
