  • In this second episode of The ST Forge, a podcast from Storytellers Forge, Rick and Pat look at Eldritch Automata - a "high-octane cosmic horror RPG" from Gehenna Gaming. We dig into the crowdfunding campaign and quickstart for the game, looking at the art, themes, mechanics, and lore, what they love about it, and the genres that inspired E//A. We also discuss how Eldritch Automata is a perfect example of how NOT to run a crowdfunding campaign and the lessons that Gehenna Gaming learned to relaunch a massively successful campaign on the second run!


    In Eldritch Automata, you play one of humanity’s last defenders, facing down eldritch abominations that want to eat you, controlled by visually perfect angelic beings that want to control you, while piloting a massive monstrosity of a mech, the titular Automata, that’s slowly killing you.


    Find out what we think, how we'd run this game, and if we think you should buy it in this 30-ish minute episode!
