William Blackhorse Singer is the Star Tracker — an expert in the pursuit and capture of exotic life forms. The last warrior of the Navajo people, he is a man out of time and place, adrift in an uncertain future. And now he must join forces with an enemy shapeshifter called Cat — the lone surviving member of an extinct alien race — to track down and eliminate a dangerous extraterrestrial assassin. For Singer, it is a costly collaboration. For once the killer is disposed of, the true hunt is to begin: a relentless and deadly chase across worlds and into the heart of ancient mysteries…with the hunter as prey.
Welcome to the Sanctum Secorum podcast. Tonight we look at Eye of Cat by Roger Zelazny and pair that up with the weird West world of Black Powder, Black Magic. In addition, we bring you some of the most dangerous creatures your players may ever face (and more) after the jump…

The ambient background of the Sanctum Secorum was created using Horror Ambiance from Klankbeeld.
Sanctum Secorum’s theme music was created using Seating Incantation, by Landmark Entertainment.
Another great podcast! And an Appendix N book that I now have to find a copy of!
Next year, a possible seasonal podcast is Dark is the Sun by Philip Jose Farmer, which actually has Santa Claus appear (not by name) in a cameo. It would fit in well with Mutant Crawl Classics or Crawling Under a Broken Moon.
Your companion zines are an excellent addition not only to your podcast, but to DCC in general.
Keep it up! And all the best over the holidays and in the new year!
Thank you for the kind words, and great suggestion for next year. PJF wrote some great books and his Dungeon series really sticks out (once you get past the glory of Riverworld).
