In My Skin? Due to a strange illness, a witch's curse, or the wound left by a beast; a mouth with its own personality, fears, and desires has appeared on your skin. And it just won't leave. Is there a cure? 1.-No. 2.-Have you tried to rip it apart? 3.-Maybe, but the ritual requires the flesh of a great beast. 4.-Maybe, but you'll never forget the pain. 5.-Yes, find the root of it and destroy it. 6.-Yes, drown it. The Mouth is a non player character that lives inside the skin of your characters, and, as such, it has its own tastes, fears, goals and desires. As crazy as they may seem.

However, you do not gain access to the corpse’s memories, not even its name.

While controlling a corpse, you can use BRAIN for MUSCLE or AGILITY TESTS, as long as the body allows it. Your Macabre Puppet is destroyed if it fails a DEFENSE TEST, regardless of whether you lose SURVIVAL POINTS or not.

They use their expertise and body-snatching abilities to spread terror and confusion among their victims.
A 5 star review of Thread & Needle that reads "The art is extraordinary, the creatures are horrifyingly cool." by 5DaysMourning

SACERDOTE La doncella de hierro es el justo final para aquellos que se regocijaban en la herejía y el vicio. Operarla es el santo oficio de aquellos que salvaguardan y vigilan las leyes de Dios. En la búsqueda por la salvación de mi familia, he creado algo que conjunta al pecador y la penitencia: El Sacerdote. Tan hombre como máquina, este ser apresa a los condenados hasta que confiesan sus hórridos crímenes. El Rey está complacido.
SENTINEL We created them in the madness of the conflict. The war had erupted, and the siege on the castle had left us with dozens of casualties. I used the only thing I had at hand—corpses. These sentinels, born from fallen soldiers, were capable of wielding weapons in each of their arms. The memory in their muscles allowed them to swing maces, swords, daggers, and other weapons with ease; there was no need to train them. They wandered heavily across the battlefield, like horrifying reapers, leaving behind the raw material for the birth of more sentinels.

UNA RETIRADA AGRIDULCE, La invasión XENO reunió $76,306 MXN
Retirada Táctica, la Invasión XENO continuará en otro momento. Atención, invasores Estamos muy agradecidos con todos ustedes que nos han apoyado en este proyecto hasta ahora. Gracias a su apoyo , vimos el interés que hay por el libro físico de XENO, un juego que empezó como un pequeño tríptico. Sin embargo, después de evaluar cómo terminará esta campaña, hemos decidido hacer una retirada táctica en la Invasión Xeno. El panorama actual de la producción está cambiando y mientras que nos enorgullecemos de la alta calidad de nuestros productos, queremos mantenerlo así. Algunas estimaciones indican que podríamos lograr la meta en el último momento, mientras que otras sugieren que nos quedaremos cerca de alcanzarla. Esto podría ser bueno en otras circunstancias, pero en este momento no es un riesgo que queramos tomar. Los costos de producción y distribución son inciertos. Nuestros socios de impresión y distribución no saben con certeza y no quieren arriesgarse a darnos costos fijos, ya que todo podría cambiar de una semana a otra. Estar cerca de la meta o apenas lograrlo no es un escenario ideal en este momento, y necesitamos más certeza en la producción de los libros. Somos un equipo pequeño y no podemos arriesgarnos a un cambio significativo mientras estamos en producción. Esto haría imposible entregar su juego a tiempo o con la calidad que este gran proyecto merece. Entonces, ¿qué pasará con la Invasión Xeno? Detendremos la campaña en las próximas 24 horas y luego la relanzaremos más adelante este año, con la esperanza de que parte de la incertidumbre haya pasado y podamos asegurar precios estables para garantizar que reciban su copia del libro. Si quieren estar al tanto del estado del producto tenemos un nuevo Newsletter que podrán encontrar en los links de mi perfil. Esperamos que comprendan nuestra decisión y continúen siguiendo y apoyando este juego en futuras campañas. Gracias. Esto no es un adiós. Nos veremos más adelante. Caligaes y el equipo de Axo Stories.
