Metastasis//Firestarter: A Lichoma add-on


Go follow us on Kickstarter now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bogfolk/metastasis-firestarter


MetaFire is two books in one, collecting the free digital content we published to support the original Lichoma release.

Metastasis takes players deeper into the Wen by providing new adventures, locations, NPCs, mechanics, and more.

  • heartbreak. (Strega Wolf van den Berg and Tessa Winters): The Heartbreak Hotel is named for the disposition of her patronage. We find inside some of the most miserable bastards this side of Transport Vein 17. Each table bears the linguistic fruit of a wide variety of heartbreaks. Death, disloyalty and disdain copulate to form beautiful new imprecations muttered into glasses carved out of skulls. Such is the decor of the Hotel. 
  • A Day at Fun-Fun! Playland (Walton Wood): Part theme park, part carnival, Fun-Fun! Playland has something for everyone. You can take in a stage show. You can play some games. You can pet the animals. You can go on the rides. But most importantly, you can blow up that fucking ferris wheel so the Hunters don’t flay you alive and wear your skin as clothes.
  • Nutjob (Getaro): The voyeurs of the Bureau won’t stop peeking at the finest shows our most wretched and beautiful genitalimancers procreate! Without paying! We will make them pay! Sneak into the office of the Slut-Control Vigilance Management (S.C.V.M.) where those nasty perverts are hiding, and gather the forbidden secrets of our secretion foreboders.
  • BURNOUT! (Tessa Winters): Blood, cum, and osmium congeal on rusted rickshaws perched precariously on thin, breaking kickstands. Standing next to these tetanus magnets are pale, dying frauds lit by the embers of cigarettes and the green glow of a neon sign. In pursuit of glory, their pretend happiness gives them an edge, and sneering smiles unsettle the jeering crowds exchanging vitae in sussurating bet haggling. If these miserable storm drains of drugged-up adrenaline deserve any sort of moniker, they would be best known as THE BURNOUTS.
  • Hellhounds (Strega Wolf van den Berg): 6 new faction leaders you can kill and butcher for limbs. Honestly, what else are they good for?
  • Bloodred Sludge (Strega Wolf van den Berg): A guide for converting Mörk Borg content to Lichoma using Rotblack Sludge as a walkthrough example.

Firestarter greatly expands on the Wildfires, Lichoma’s anarchic seventh faction, allowing players to fight to defend the status quo or else burn it to the fucking ground.

  • Wildfires of the Wen (Strega Wolf van den Berg): Nature rampages to reclaim the Wen, and you are part of that plan. You play as the rabid dogs, disease-ridden rats, and the fire itself.
  • GrubTrucks (Ashley Kronebusch): A clearing burnt down, burnt down through the roots, burnt down through all the seeds. Fertile dirt that grows bloody fruit. The Court serves as a hub for the outcasts of outcasts to catch a moment’s respite and a bite to eat. Edenmas is in a week’s time, and rumors abound that there will be a special surprise during the revelry at the Worm Court. However, to gain entry to the feast, you’ll need to earn the trust of the GrubTrucks and the ruling council, the Grubs. Maybe you should see if they need anything done?
  • Radio Amor (Alewife): Have you ever dreamed of symphonies sung in sinuous static? Have you ever felt your synapses struggle to be free of meat? I have, and I gave everything for it. That ouroboros of flesh endlessly devouring itself and everything around it in a merciless frenzy for power. And what of other power? What of the energy stored in meat and generated in the skies? The crash of blood over calcified blocks, the spinning turbines of tendon and cartilage, the sparks felt between lovers? The Wen think they have control over these surges of electric impulse, but their capabilities are as limited as their minds. Look then past the walls, in a forgotten corner of the desolate sprawl. There are still archaic scrapyards, full of corrupted circuits and susurrating servos. You can find us there still, forever locked behind the concrete walls and digital tombs of our own making. There is still much that can be done against the tyranny of meat, and all it takes is the will to power. Radio Amor is a small pointcrawl designed for Lichoma. An inorganic junkyard of misbegotten metal and enervated electronics. The secrets contained within could topple the power structures of the Wen, if you can overcome the constraints of futility.
  • All Along, the Watchtower (Walton Wood): Welcome to Fire Station 616. This will be your home while serving as a firefighter. Your job is to defend the Wen against all threats: exterminating crazed wildlife, quashing conspiracy, fighting insurrection, and holding at bay the ever-smoldering and all-consuming flames. Will you serve with distinction? Or will you burn out like all the rest?
  • Bordello Inferno (Rugose Kohn): President McDaddy—a brutal Bonerland pimp—plots the destruction of the Wen through a great conflagration designed to remake the districts in his own depraved image. Infiltrate the high-rise he’s holed up in to either stop his mad plan, or join his orgy of destruction.
  • Meat the Cults (Greyson Yandt): Witness an assortment of six groups who worship anything but meat. Serve the faith, sacrifice flesh for power, and bring the other five cults from their knees to their graves. Or serve only yourself—the only difference is you’ve got one more deified abomination to slay.
  • Creatures of the Wildfires (Strega Wolf van den Berg, Chalkdown): 6 specimens of wildlife lurking at the fringes of the Wen.
  • Fungula Rasa (Rugose Kohn): Deep under the Meatworks, in secret labs, the Butchers’ attempts at vat-grown flesh have gone so very shockingly wrong. Terrified of the horror they have wrought and the long-term implications to the Wen, they turn to outsiders, hiring you to descend into their nightmare labs to clean up their mess.

What do we want to make?

A handsome, hardbound, A5 volume with faux-leather cover and full color. Each page will be printed with inverted rectos/versos; read one book straight through in one direction, then flip it over and read the other one!
