Gateways Into Madness

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Wolrds_and_Desert.jpg

**"For god sake, don't go through the gates. They want us to use them, to awaken the ancient evils of the universe. They want the madness that will arrive with their return. The gates know your thoughts, and they are always hungry."**

Dr Matt Chu, Research Scientist at Citadel base, Antarctica.


Experience the Exploration, Intrigue,  and Mythos Horror inspired by Sci-Fi adventure movies and the writing of H.P. Lovecraft.

Based on the Chaosium Basic Roleplaying Universal Game Engine, Gateways into Madness is a complete tabletop role-playing game that takes players into a dark, twisted universe where madness and hope for humanity coexist.

At the Antarctic research base Citadel, your characters are part of the humans who have reacted strongly to the Advanced Gene Therapy Process (AGTP) and developed the ability to travel through a pre-human Ancient Gateway deep in the mountains of madness. 

Thrown into Ad hoc Gate Survey Teams, completely unprepared, under-equipped, and understrength, the GST teams are sent into the unknown to discover the Mythos-inspired worlds of Gateways into Madness.

Expanding the fantastic worlds of The Basic Roleplaying Universal Engine

Gateways into Madness adds to the Basic Roleplaying Universal Engine: 

  • Metamorphic Effects - Human to Alien ConversionsFor unknown reasons, over 100,000 years ago, an Ancient civilization tampered with Humanity by manipulating the human genome to insert dormant DNA strands into tribes worldwide. The ATGP treatment has activated some of these DNA sequences, allowing access to ancient technologies such as the gateways. 
  • Advantages and Disadvantages - Players can gain special abilities to enhance their characters, such as Combat Shooting, Eagle-Eyed, Combat Medicine, Ancient Expert, Linguist, and many more.
  • Mental Fatigue Points are the reserve of self-control a character has during a game. You can think of Mental Fatigue as their pool of “coolness” in a game session. When players are exposed to combat, shocks, verbal fights between players, emotional trauma, physical trauma, psychic powers, and just the unknown horrors of the gateways, it can all wear down a player’s psyche. If a player runs out of Mental Fatigue Points, they start taking Sanity loss on failed Mental Toughness Rolls.
  • Mental Toughness Roll checks to see if a player can endure the situation and still act in a “normal” fashion. If the test is passed, then the player can act without any restrictions. If the test is failed, based on the amount of the failure the results can be debilitating effects plus the loss of Mental Fatigue Points.
  • Episodic Game Play - Gateways into Madness is an Episodic Table Top Role Playing game designed from the ground up to have both gritty modern / horror realism within a series of short adventures. 
  • Weapons, Drones, Equipment, Creatures, Adventures, and so much more!



GAMMA SECURITY ALERT

Dr Chu has reappeared in the Ancient City. In his right hand, he held a new artifact that appeared to be a yellow crystal, while in his left hand was a newspaper that appeared to be from 1942 Cairo, Egypt. The strangeness of the event is compounded by the newspaper proclaiming that Erwin Rommel had won the Battle of El Armain and Cairo was being evacuated before the Axis troops could enter the city. Carbon dating appears to indicate that the newspaper is from 1942.

Dr Chu is being held at the base hospital and is under locked down.

Sure! We can figure something out. Print on Demand ( as I work on getting the cover created ) prices tend to be fixed a lot as I can not set the cost of the Print Part. But when the times comes I will try and make some sort of heavy discount for people who get the PDF

Hi. I Bought the book and I'm really impressed. It appears well organized and good classic BRP. There doesn't appear to be an index or even a contents page though, so referencing material is a little awkward. Can you put one in please?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
