Alright Ciao Poveglia fans.... did you know that Dr. Deittman’s team is officially getting a podcast? That’s right! On August 26th, join Ash and teammate JB (because Ash can’t be left in charge without setting something on fire...) as they set off on different investigations each episode!  There are thirteen episodes in total, airing every other week on Fridays wherever you listen to podcasts!  I have no idea how people are still managing to find Ciao Poveglia, but here we are! I’m still receiving reviews and Kudos, and people still keep finding this tumblr page!  Happy Hauntings Investigators!

Ciao Povelia fans.... it’s been a while! I’ve been staying busy, as always. You’ll likely start seeing some further updates from me regarding my other projects (I am writing and producing a narrative fiction podcast based around Dr. Deittman’s team, pre-Ciao Poveglia.)  It occurred to me that I never shared this!! A good friend of mine has taken up book binding, and she gifted me a copy of Ciao Poveglia to display next to Echoes and Ashes! (I freely admit and embrace the fact that a fanfic spun my book/TTRPG/podcast series.)  I woke up this morning to Kudos on Ciao Poveglia. It never ceases to amaze me how I still get readers, despite the fic being finished SIX YEARS AGO. And in such a niche genre.... If you’re someone who has recently found the story, or someone who has gone back and done a re-read... I see you, and I love you, and you keep me motivated in so many more ways than you can ever know! Anyhow, the Deittman Files Podcast is coming late summer 2022! We are on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter! Give us a quick search/follow if you’re interested! Oh! And a Discord community!!  If you’re interested in learning more about book binding, maybe check out my friend’s new facebook group-- Amateur Fanfic Binding! It’s some pretty cool stuff!! Ever Your Servant,

Got my proof book in! Full order *hopefully* arriving next week for Hill-Con 2021 (at Haunted Hillview Manor, as seen on Ghost Adventures and Destination Fear!) We couldn’t be happier with the print! It’s a bit more casual than a traditional Player’s Handbook, but our printer was actually in our state so we are content with type of printing we ended up with.  Hardback versions of “The Deittman Files: a Ghost Hunting RPG” will only be available through yours truly, and mostly only at conventions. The PDF is available for purchase RIGHT NOW at DriveThruRPG! Download your copy today, complete with three stretch goal, one-session scenarios: Bunny Bridge, Maple Hill Asylum (for those of you who know “Echoes and Ashes”...), and the Donovan Manor! Happy Hauntings! https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/366442/The-Deittman-Files-a-Ghost-Hunting-RPG

We’ve released some blurbs on our eight Psychic classes! Players can mix and match most moves to customize their characters (but there are stricter rules on picking up the Advanced Move specialties.) We hope that this will allow players to make their own preferred characters or recreate some of their favorite Psychics!  Also! We have a Discord Community! We will be doing MORE info releases and Looking for Group over there! Interested?? Come join us! (https://discord.gg/remjY4QF) We have just about TWO WEEKS LEFT in our Kickstarter campaign! We only have one major Stretch Goal to unlock (at this time) and we are so excited to get our game out to all of you!!!  Happy Haunting!  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexandrafclinton/the-deittman-files-a-ghost-hunting-rpg A.F

Ahhh!!! Ciao Poveliga fans, you get the first look at our completed class artwork for “the Telekinetic.” Obviously, this one is for you! (”Echoes and Ashes” readers would be confused as to what is going on here....)  I love the art! Per my artist, “I know fanservice when I see it.” XD You got me!  We are now over 200% funded and we are within reach of our next stretch goal!  Thank you everyone for your support!  A.F https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexandrafclinton/the-deittman-files-a-ghost-hunting-rpg/

[ciao-poveglia]

It’s been a minute! I decided to give you all a break from my incessant posting, haha!  I am pleased to announce that “the Deittman Files: a Ghost Hunting RPG” was funded within 12 hours! We are currently 200% funded and we have opened up 4 stretch goals (including a new class called “the Hunter” for all of the Supernatural fans out there!) We have 24 days left to go... how many of our stretch goals can we hit?! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexandrafclinton/the-deittman-files-a-ghost-hunting-rpg  

[ciao-poveglia]

It is live!!! The Kickstarter will end on 6/4! I desperately hope that a few people will pick up a copy and then let me know what shenanigans they get into!!!  I promise, in just about 35 days, I will shut up about this project, haha!!  And, as a bonus, here is the final version of the Ash tarot card art! This will be featured alongside the Pyroknetic character class and available as an Add On as part of the physical card set!  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexandrafclinton/the-deittman-files-a-ghost-hunting-rpg

[ciao-poveglia]

Concept art!  Each of our character classes will have their own ‘tarot card’ style artwork! These are two of our classes and each in the concept stage (so the Pyrokinetic is not finalized, and the Telekinetic will be in color, etc.)  But... The Ciao Poveglia fans get the first look at the concept art, as you all are the ones who will likely recognize the characters first! (The “Echoes and Ashes” readers who have not read Ciao Poveglia aren’t likely to make the connection with the Telekinetic... not yet, at least!) Our Kickstarter will have an option for backers to Add On a physical set of ‘cards,’ which will feature: Ash, Markus, Isabella, Deittman from Ciao Poveglia (as well as Eli, Carlos, and Garrett from “Echoes and Ashes.”) We launch in just two days!! Thank you all for your support!  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexandrafclinton/the-deittman-files-a-ghost-hunting-rpg

[ciao-poveglia]

After some thought, we’ve decided to add in another potential stretch goal... Ghost Hunt fandom.... this one is for you!  What happens when a character dies? Or if a player wants to experience the game with the inability to communicate with most of the living? Well, they would play as “the Spirit.”  This class would be considered neither a Psychic nor an Investigator. It would have entirely unique mechanics... perhaps as a Spirit Guide for another character.  Because of the mechanics rewrites that would need to happen, it is currently only set to be included if we hit what we expect to be our highest stretch goal.  We launch in just four days! Please give us a follow over at our pre-launch page! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexandrafclinton/the-deittman-files-a-ghost-hunting-rpg

Back cover our “the Deittman Files: a Ghost Hunting RPG” playbook! The limited print version will be a hardback and we think the art by Gabrielle Burke Art will look fantastic in our players’ hands! We have the concept art for two of our classes, and once we have the final art, we will share that too! (The Pyrokinetic - Ash, obviously, and the Telekinetic - Markus, which is really something for just the Ciao Poveglia readers, as the Echoes and Ashes book hasn’t touched on anything of the sort ;) ). Seeing the concept art for Markus makes me chuckle because, in my opinion, the artist has certainly given him a look that is appropriate for a ‘rival’ of Naru! Be sure to check out our Facebook page for more project updates, and back us on Kickstarter! Official release is on 5/4! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexandrafclinton/the-deittman-files-a-ghost-hunting-rpg

[ciao-poveglia]

Bam. New cover version with MY NAME ON IT. You would think that I would have thought to have asked the artist to put my name on it. But I didn’t. Many of you may know me as Aeternus.Flamma (or, A.F, which were my initials for many, many years.) But this is me! ‘On location’ for filming part of my Kickstarter trailer, complete with a few of my ghost hunting devices.  Thank you all for your enthusiasm and support! I honestly wouldn’t have ever finished my book or created a games system without the love and kindness I’ve received from my Ciao Poveglia readers!!  We are getting close to releasing one of our character playbooks as a sample! Just a handful of Kickstarter followers away!  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexandrafclinton/the-deittman-files-a-ghost-hunting-rpg

[ciao-poveglia]

Here are our classes! (Alright Ghost Hunt fandom, guess who inspired which categories ;) And yes, some may belong to the Ciao Poveglia OCs!)  Players can mix and match certain abilities from their archetype (so Psychics from Psychic classes, Investigators from Investigator classes.) If we hit 100 followers on our pre-launch Kickstarter page, we will release one of the character class playbooks in its entirety so that you can preview the move sets! Which character class would you like to preview??? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexandrafclinton/the-deittman-files-a-ghost-hunting-rpg

[ciao-poveglia]

“The Deittman Files: a Ghost Hunting RPG” is now in pre-launch on Kickstarter! If you’re interested in backing, it would be super helpful to have as may people as possible to sign up for notifications! (Pesky algorithms...)  Listed here are our tiers! We aimed to price everything as reasonably as possible so that we could pay our artists fairly! Please note that the Print options are only available in the US.  We can’t wait to show off some sneak peeks of our character classes and artwork!  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexandrafclinton/the-deittman-files-a-ghost-hunting-rpg

BFU: “The Mysterious Death of Dr. Eugene Davis”

Buzzfeed Unsolved True Crime

“The Mysterious Death of Dr. Eugene Davis”

Aeternus.Flamma

Prompt: ghost hunt but make it buzzfeed unsolved!AU (it can be with or without Gene being alive) i think that would be entertaining    Submitted by Anonymous

[Intro music plays]

RYAN: [Narration] Today on Buzzfeed Unsolved, we discuss the mysterious death of Dr. Eugene Davis. 

SHANE: Eugene? 

RYAN: Yeah, Eugene. 

SHANE: I only know, like, one other Eugene. When was this? 

RYAN: Like, recent. If you’d let me get through the intro… 

SHANE: Fine, fine. Go on. 

RYAN: As I was saying, today we discuss the mysterious death of Dr. Eugene Davis, one of the most renowned mediums of our time. 

SHANE: Medium. Right. 

RYAN: Yes, medium. Dr. Davis, known as Gene to his family, has been called the perfect medium–no other person has thus far been able to so accurately communicate with other spirits. Not only could he channel on near demand, but he also showed, on numerous occasions, speaking fluently in languages he did not know. 

SHANE: Oh, sure. Like that can’t be faked. This bullshit has been literally faked for hundreds of years. Picking up a few lines in French isn’t exactly convincing. I’ve said it before. All psychics are bullshit.

RYAN: Yeah, fine, maybe not. But how about entire conversations with loved ones in Russian? Or Arabic? Can–can you do that? 

SHANE: Just cause–okay, well, you can learn languages. There are people out there who have learned dozens of languages over their life–

RYAN: Did I mention he was sixteen?

SHANE: …

RYAN: Yeah, think about that a bit more. He’s seventeen and apparently he fluently speaks, uh, Japanese, Mandarin, Korean…  English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portugese, Russian, Arabic… Like, people have tried to disprove this kid and–

SHANE: Wait you, said Dr. Eugene Davis. 

RYAN: Yeah–

SHANE: Doctor? 

RYAN: We’ll get to that. 

SHANE: Yeah. Okay. I call bullshit now. This is already ridiculous. 

RYAN: It gets weirder. 

SHANE: Of course it does.

Here is the my submission for the 6th Annual Ghost Hunt Prompt Exchange! I’m a massive BFU/Watcher fan, so I was happy to bust this little piece out. I have the start of a BFU Supernatural crossover with Ghost Hunt in the works, post Ciao Poveglia. 

[ciao-poveglia]

Did I just order wayyyyy too much tea? Maybe. But how am I going to get through the @ghosthunthq Ghost Hunt prompt exchange and finishing the Deittman Files TTRPG without it? (Don’t even get me started on storing this... I think I need a new tea cupboard.)  I’m fairly certain I’ve come across Cynthia S. elsewhere in the Ghost Hunt fandom, but I can’t be sure! If you’re seeing this, I can’t wait to try all of the flavors! Quarantine has depleted my massive tea collection, so I stumbled across this at the perfect time!

I wonder what flavor would embody Ciao Poveglia? I daresay something smoky. 

[ciao-poveglia]

“The Deittman Files,” a ghost hunting RPG, has cover art now! Just waiting on the interior art and then we move forward with our final touches! Readers of “Echoes and Ashes: a Paranormal Mystery,” should recognize these faces as some of the characters from the book! Readers of “Ciao Poveglia” may also recognize a handful, as four of these characters were originally created for that story! Stay tuned for more updates on when this RPG will be available and where to download/purchase a print copy!  The Deittman Files: a Ghost Hunting TTRPG allows players to play as a class of psychic or investigator, and set out to solve mysteries created by their GM. If you’ve ever wanted to play as some of your favorite psychics (I’m looking at you, Ghost Hunt fandom...) then here is your opportunity! This system will utilize the Powered by the Apocalypse base, which is *extremely* easy to learn and modify to your liking!
