Characters are trapped in an infinite labyrinth and have to find a way out. Fight monsters, scavenge for supplies, and see a different universe behind each door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacters check in at the Sleep Easy Inn, a cheap hotel, for the night and wake up...somewhere else. At first, it looks like the hotel but the windows show only a black void outside and no one can open a door or break a window to escape. The guests are now trapped in an infinite labyrinth designed to break their minds. Escape is possible but only if they find the Night Clerk, the person who trapped them in the first place or the 13th Floor, the heart of the labyrinth. The Night Clerk is a full color 44 page zine featuring a new monster, tables for unnatural artifacts, random encounters, and more! It's a flexible framework to make a unique architectural horror experience for your playing group. It is written by Ross Payton, Ennie Award winning host of Role Playing Public Radio, author of Base Raiders, and a writer for Eclipse Phase and Delta Green. The Night Clerk has been updated, after years of fine tuning and is ready for your gaming table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis zine includes art from Trevor Henderson (creator of Sirenhead) and Patsy McDowell (Base Raiders).
