Xine Two
A downloadable zine
We're back with five crackerjack articles with games, worlds, mods, and monsters for your Cortex RPG game
The Sunspot Chronicles: Trial Run by the Inmara is a capsule game that will take you to the mysterious transhuman generation ship, the Sunspot, where your vat-grown protagonist can start investigating the big questions of their world.
Spectres by Moonlite by Jeremy Forbing returns to his urban fantasy game MoonLite, presented in Xine One, with ghosts and revenants seeking to hold on to the unresolved business of their former lives.
Mod Spotlight: Upsets by Miriam Robern presents a way to merge Cortex's chocolatey-smooth contest-style resolution with its crunchy peanut butter action order framing.
DIRE Monsters by Lynn Jones gives us random tables! So many random tables! Roll on these babies to generate some driven monsters to populate your dungeoncrawl Cortex games.
...and after all that, will you be able to stand before The Monster At The End of This Zine?
Xine is also proud to present Lynn Jones' Manual of Monsters, Minions, and Mountebanks, a mammoth pile of challenge pool templates for your Cortex Lite fantasy game. Just like Xine, it's available pay-what-you-want!
Xine is and always will be free.
...but that's free to download, not free to make. If you'd like to see more great Cortex stuff like this, please consider dropping a few bucks in the development jar here on itch.io or pledging to our patreon.

Hey team!
Another great issue!!! So great to see another. I’m excited to see more :)
Just wanted to point out a little typo. Last page in the Awakening the Deadline stat block….it reads “step up both difficulty DIDE for each…” I assume they should be difficult die.
Looking foreword to more fantastic cortex love from you!
Thanks for the catch, Mosska! That (and a couple more) are corrected in the v1.0.2 files I just uploaded. :)
Fantastic!
Keep up the great work :)
