The Doctor recruits the investigators to stop a Rutan spy. 🛸

Zora Neale Hurston
The investigators burst into the Fire “offices” & find Zora Neale Hurston battling three zombies. 🧟♂️🔥When the dust settles, she reveals the truth: the Brotherhood of the Skin stole a forbidden tome. They have 10 hours to stop the ritual or every dead soul in NYC rises. #HarlemUnbound #OuroborosSystem
Before the Kentucky Derby was a spectacle, a formerly enslaved teenager made history. In 1875, Oliver Lewis rode Aristides to victory, becoming the first Derby winner. This #HarlemUnbound, I explore his life & legacy and turn him into a game-ready NPC for Haunted West. History belongs at the table.

I love seeing #HarlemUnbound in FLGs! While it's one lonely copy, hopefully someone will buy it and give it a good home (plus play it)!
I was also elated yesterday that they had Harlem Unbound 2nd edition! Seeing the other books I’ve worked on in the wilds is is fun, while #HarlemUnbound fills me with pride in a way I can’t quite express. I thinking about all of the rejections and its journey to publication, then 2nd edition. #ttrpg
I am currently deep diving into the extremely niche trend in fantasy novels of jazz age magical realism, written by female writers of color with female writers of color leads. All of them, So far, very good, top tier will recommend
Great inspiration for a game @darkerhue.bsky.social #HarlemUnbound

Darker Hue Studios Harlem Unbound corebook, Haunted West Corebook, and Cap (History Belongs To All Of Us) with a stout in glass, Black is Beutiful.
Walked the dog with my DHS cap (#HistoryBelongsToAllOfUs) and caught a couple of looks. Now I'm flipping through #HarlemUnbound and #HauntedWest, trying to carve out some writing time. But my mind keeps circling back to all those hidden, stolen, and erased histories—how easily they're deleted.

Jack Johnson the boxer driving a car
I see you, #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld, nodding to a Harlem icon in #HarlemUnbound. Jack Johnson, the "Galveston Giant," was an American boxer who became the first Black world heavyweight boxing champion during the Jim Crow era and won what was dubbed the "fight of the century" #BlackHistoryMonth

Ed Smalls needs a solid. Smalls Paradise, his new club, opens in 3 days and it’ll blow the roof off Harlem. There’ve been strange sounds in the basement and now there’s a hole in the wall. The staff won’t go down there, and if this gets out, it’ll ruin him. He’s invested everything! #HarlemUnbound
1921 at St Charles Borromeo (West 141st Street), congregants (one by one) are weakening after services but can’t stop attending. They are growing thinner each week. The local priest is in fact a Seeker that is mesmerizing them and slowly feeding the group to shadow vampires. #HarlemUnbound
'Lucky' Smith is dancing and singing in perfect pitch. Noble Sissle knows he's tone deaf and saw him killed in the war. How is he alive and stealing gigs with an enchanting voice in Harlem? #HarlemUnbound
Brilliant and bloodied astrophysicist Elmer Imes crashes in, covered in blue-icor-filled claw marks, ranting about an experiment gone wrong. A faint unholy howl and bluish fog billows out of the corner of the room. #HarlemUnbound
