All the weird stuff this week and that just seems right. Sleeved bodies for transhuman mind swapping, lost teenagers and text based roleplaying, solo magician RPGs, lots of D&D 5E adventures, and a quickstart for the Heart RPG as well as models for any fantasy or sci-fi RPG. Also a mega amount of settings for Misspent Youth from doddering heroes to a world in black and white longing for...
This week save Christmas Town from the Grinch and explore military mysteries onboard the Metamorphosis Alpha. Fill in character sheets for the Black Hack on nice paper. Grab your bat’leth or battle axe and pursue honor playing as a Klingon or Viking. Kick off a The Dark Eye campaign with a complete bundle from Miniature Market. And grab an Aliens board game that could double as terrain and...
This week play a Little Grey Alien in Dungeons & Dragons, enjoy other PC supplements, as well as adventures some complete with miniatures and game mats. There are character journals for players and 1000 adventure seeds for GMs. Some old school monsters and an adventure for fantasy Brazil will appeal to some GMs. Also a brand new RPG by Jonathan Hicks.
This week a new setting and ancestry for Dungeons & Dragons as well as rules for Age of Sigmar: Soulbound and Lex Arcana for mythic Rome. Also a new model for miniatures is available along with RPGs about covert ops and PCs drawn from a tarot deck.
This week add settlements to your D&D game, take young players on wilderness adventures, explore the world of Midgard, and fight the undead during the end of the world. Also a new adventure from Monte Cook Games, a solo RPG about being a vampire, time traveling, more end of the worlds games, and an Asian themed horror adventure.
Many wonderful RPG products are available if you are looking for a gift to give this holiday. Some are beautiful and well made, others inspiring, but all can increase the enjoyment of RPGs for the person receiving the gift. For under $26 the list includes dice and RPG books. For more money, there are more RPG books, DVDs, hardcover novels, and a Conan board game that can also be used for...
Become a US Marshal in the Old West, a wandering sellsword and would be king, or a lizard pirate. Explore worlds of fantasy, the Old West, the 1980s, and high society. And fantasy is not just for murder hobos anymore, you can also play as a bird pirate, king, or business wizard.
Talisman the board game is great but certainly has a beer and pretzels quality that I thought would carry over to the RPG. Instead, Talisman Adventures Fantasy Roleplaying Game is a nuanced dark fairy tale set in a magical world of competing alignments, ancestries, and powers. It impresses me.
Cyberpunk Red is out in the wild. Also this week travel into space, to an irreverent post-apocalyptic wasteland, and to 16th century fantasy Brazil. Go down a well, back to Spire, or build a fantasy world of your own devising. Also check out a third party adventure for Starfinder.
2020 continues to be challenging. And I don’t see going back to face to face gaming for a while yet. Though I miss gaming around a table rather than via pixels, I have found some unexpected joys in online gaming. Even with the ongoing troubles of the world.
Happy Roast Beast R&R to you and yours. Your sci-fi, fantasy, or other genre campaign may need a break in the hectic pace of adventures. A good holiday fits the bill and by holiday I mean a day celebrated by many, in this case a day or weekend of being thankful. Even in a horror campaign the PCs might get one day off in a quiet village somewhere that is celebrating being thankful.
Sandy Petersen writing D&D adventures, animal adventurers, fantasy cyberpunk, world building rules and more. Fight ghouls and serpent people, play a courageous canine, run a bar, survive a zombie apocalypse, and fight to save humankind’s new planetary home. There is even dockside terrain to check out.
Journey to lands of fantasy and the fantastic, learn your ABCs with Cthulhu, and check out the D&D adventures and boxed sets complete with maps and minis. Also, a new book of battle maps ready to use immediately on the table top and pawns to deploy in battle.
Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Rivers of London novels and graphic novels, kindly agreed to talk to me about his magical world and the upcoming RPG by Chaosium set in his world. Ben smiled, joked, and laughed throughout the interview and shared his joy of fiction and geeky things as if we were old friends. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing his thoughts and anecdotes and could only distill a small...
More third party support for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition including adventures, monsters, and even pawns as well as a converted Castle Amber module. New core rulebooks and new adventures cover fantasy (including fairy tales and mythic heroes) and sci-fi. Some of the sci-fi adventures also have elements of cosmic and/or body horror to them.
November is ushered in with books of magic and tomes covering new realities and fantastic realms. There is third party support for Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition, new core rulebooks, new setting locations for existing campaign settings, and a brand new setting to run mystical modern adventures.
