The complete 2 book series. System-neutral (D20).Explicit Content - adults only. A serialized, mature tabletop campaign with 70+ maps, over 100 illustrations, and unique mechanics for low to mid level characters. BENEATH can be played with almost any existing RPG system. "Beneath challenges the conventional idea of the 'Dungeon crawl' in so many ways and succeeds in them all. It is radical yet well crafted, it is shocking yet thought provoking, it is familiar yet intensly Alien. If roleplaying is a Tree with all the various games and genres spreading out from it, then 'beneath' is one sick and twisted branch that waits for all brave travellers who dare to tread their foot upon." Jay of Colosseum Rex (U.K.) "Beneath as a series is doing so much to reinvent what it means to be a prewritten adventure module. But Beneath isn't just a few module books, it's a living document full of unexpected messed up stuff and amazing artistic expression. You'll feel like you're talking to real people when you're talking to the NPC's. So strap in, and let's get salty." Zach Benge of Tabletop Radio Hour "Beneath is a return to that thing that made gaming cool in the 80s, it's dangerous and brutal, yet modern in it's approach to subtext. A unique, grotesque, disturbing work that is entertaining and well crafted. A horror crawl that examines the topics of self absorption and the dangers held within. Your table deserves this experience and the sequel that follows." Emanuel James Miller, Owner, Crit Hit Conventions "Beneath masterfully blends narrative, adventure, combat, and character involvement. A dark tale that left our group massively satisfied."

Moving to America turns H&à's life inside out.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
