Time to reinforce your shelves, folx! Most of these are heavy!

Hello, hello! Here's what's new this week: BREAK!! - inspired by classic anime and SNES era videogames, tiny fables - awesome adventures for Mausritter, and Fever Swamp Remastered - a hexcrawl for classic DnD!
|
Let's be real for a sec: all these games are luxury items in today's economy. And most of them are quite expensive (the authors need to eat too). But the systems are also available for free! Troika!, OSE, and Mausritter rules are all available for download, and you don't need to spend your hard-earned money to play when/if you ever find the time to escape our hellscape of a reality. While we do love it when you get the games in the physical form from us, please take a moment before hitting that buy button. We're all attracted to shiny new items, and it's good to pause once in a while and reassess our priorities.

Confirmed list of what's coming
|
There are lots of new games dropping in the coming weeks - scroll down for a confirmed list - we hope you'll be as excited as we are! NEW RPGs: Bio-Drones & Cryo-Clones- a biopunk facility-crawl for the Mothership Sci-Fi Horror RPG. Part Metroid, part Cronenberg’s The Fly, this zine turns the casual non-horror of “save stations” into unsettling sci-fi body horror that emphasizes lasting environmental consequences through gameplay. The Black Rainbow Society - A lysergic rollercoaster ride to the jagged edges of the mind. An RPG tribute to 80´s metal zines and the works of William Burroughs! Fabrication - a game design game. God-Killer Prophecy - a one-shot "GMfull" game. LAST CALL: Taverns of the Dying Lands, and what's wrong with them - Hundreds of gameable ideas for what's going on in the good old-fashioned tavern, MORK BORG style. Magical Kitties Save the Day - Every Magical Kitty has a human. Every human has a Problem. In Magical Kitties Save the Day, you need to use your magical powers to solve problems and save the day. Sock Puppets - a very silly TTRPG about a failing children's TV series. This City Must Burn - a GM-less TTRPG that explores the aftermath of glorious revolution. Restocks: The Cleaning of Prison Station Echo Bloom Dying Hard on Hardlight Station MOTHERSHIP Both Boxed Sets NEW Board Games: The White Box: A Game Design Workshop - Game ideas may come naturally, but designing, testing, and revising is work. Make it easier with The White Box.
