[THIS ITEM IS A PRE-ORDER - THE PRINT RUN WILL BE ORDERED ON 12/1, AND ORDERS WILL BE SHIPPED OUT AS SOON AS THEY ARE RECEIVED AT MY FULFILLMENT PARTNER.]

A 44-page, full-color A5 zine collecting the second year of TTRPG supplements originally released in Missives from the MeatCastle, the monthly MeatCastle GameWare newsletter.

This year's collection features 7 different pieces including a standalone solo game of reflective recollection (Memory Manifest), a microgame attempting to create true fear in its players (Twelve Damned Coins), part one of a system-free dungeon intended to make use of the other books on your shelf during play (Five Chambers in the Hill Beyond the Vale), new options for Mothership 1e (Goblin class and Party Development Procedure), plus the first publicly available print version of the 2023 Meaties, the annual MCGW TTRPG award zine, and the two most popular articles from the newsletter itself.

• Manifest Memory: A solo game of items out of time
  
• Twelve Damned Coins: Do not play this game
