The Hum
The Strange/Cypher System Adventure
By Monte Cook Games

The Hum (from Wikipedia): The Hum is a phenomenon, or collection of phenomena, involving widespread reports of a persistent and invasive low-frequency humming, rumbling, or droning noise not audible to all people.

The Grand Bavarian Hotel was once frequented by Gilded Age luminaries like Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Houdini, and even Nikola Tesla. Now, after decades of neglect, it’s enjoying a renaissance as popular tourist attraction: The most haunted hotel in America. Stay for a night or a weekend, or enjoy a 1920s-themed masquerade ball. Take the tour of the most haunted floors, or see the “Amazing Tesla Science Engine.”

Except that the Tesla engine has been stolen. And stories of the hauntings now seem to be more frequent—and credible. The Estate wants to know if all this is related to the low-frequency hum some people claim to have heard as far away as Denver itself—a hum that has allegedly led to a string of gruesome suicides.

The Hum is an adventure for The Strange suitable for beginning or experienced players.

Moat Monsters
OSR Sourcebook
By Skirmisher Publishing

In most fantasy settings, castles and cities are vital components of civilization, and many of these rely on moats for defense. These large ditches are usually filled with water and meant to stop attackers from reaching the outer walls. Although this tactic was successful in real world history, traditional moats are not as effective in fantasy worlds because of the existence of magic. To counter this and thwart fantasy-world invaders, moats could be filled with different materials and energies, or even populated with monsters.

This sourcebook contains 20 monsters specifically designed to be ideal for occupying moats and enhancing their natural functions, along with ideas on other ways moats can be made more lethal first lines of defense for fortifications. Monsters in it are stat'ed for the "Basic" OGL system and can be easily adapted or used as-is with any RPGs based on or derived from it.

Fighter Theory
Systemless Sourcebook
By Dancing Lights Press

The appeal of the fighter is that it’s the most generic of character classes. It plays to the most basic rules, regardless of what system you’re using. There are no complicated and esoteric exceptions to be learned, making it perfect for new players. For those interested in roleplaying over tactics, it actually presents a chance to focus on character interactions and narrative because there are, metaphorically, fewer moving parts. At the same time, the variety of types of fighters, based on background, history, weapons, armor, and tactics, makes it a delightful class for veteran players. Where other classes have a broader set of abilities, the fighter allows a player to go deep, exploring maneuvers, feats, stunts, and other special tricks that allow them to be highly effective in almost any type of encounter. While certain other classes might require some explanation as to why they’re in a specific scenario, or simply might not fit with a particular setting, fighters are an appropriate character choice almost anywhere.

Because Fighter Theory is system-agnostic, this volume will delve more into the perceptions and archetypal personalities of the fighter rather than specific abilities. In places, some broad generalizations will be made. You should adapt the concepts to what best fits the mechanics, setting, and character that you’re working with inside the context of your campaign. As an example, while not all systems have classes, the word fighter will be used generically to represent the actual character element of that name, character archetypes and templates, and other conceptual details that fit the general spirit of the fighter. Because if we’re going to be intellectually honest, we need to just admit that everything in tabletop roleplaying, no matter how innovative, unique, and transcendent it may be, with always be compared to the baseline created by the game that started the hobby.

Tak University Edition
2 players, ages 12+, 10-20+ minutes
By Cheapass Games

"My next several hours were spent learning how to play tak. Even if I had not been nearly mad with idleness, I would have enjoyed it. Tak is the best sort of game: simple in its rules, complex in its strategy. Bredon beat me handily in all five games we played, but I am proud to say that he never beat me the same way twice." –Kvothe

Tak is a two-player abstract strategy game dreamed up by Pat Rothfuss in "The Wise Man's Fear" and made reality by James Ernest. In Tak, players attempt to make a road of their pieces connecting two opposite sides of the board.

Wendake
1-4 players, ages 14+, 60-120+ minutes
By Placentia

"Wendake" is the name that the Wyandot People use for their traditional territory. This population, also known as the Huron Nation, lived in the Great Lakes region together with the Iroquois, Shawnee, Potomac, Seneca, and many others. In this game, you explore the traditions and everyday life of these tribes during the 1756-1763 period when the Seven Years War between the French and the English took place in these territories.

But this white man's war is really only a marginal aspect of the game; the focus is on life in the Native villages, fields, and forests. In this game, you won't find the traditional teepees since those were used by southwestern tribes who moved their camps to follow the herds of buffalo. The Natives of the Great Lakes were sedentary, living in long houses. The women farmed beans, corn, and pumpkins, while men hunted beavers in the forests, mainly to sell their pelts as leather.

In the game Wendake, you are placed in the shoes of a chief of a Native American tribe. You have to manage all of the most important aspects of their lives, earning points on the economic, military, ritual, and mask tracks. The core of the game is the action selection mechanism: You have the opportunity to choose better and better actions over seven game rounds, and the winner will be the player who can find the best combinations of actions and use them to lead their tribe to prosperity. Each player has their own 3x3 action board that is comprised of nine action tiles. The first time you select an action tile each year, you may choose any tile; the second and third times that year, you must choose another action tile in the same column, row, or diagonal as your previously selected tile(s). If the action tile you choose shows more than one action, you can use them only in the order shown, from top to bottom. After the last player has placed (and resolved) their fourth action marker, the restore phase begins.

Island Hopper
2-6 players, ages 13+, 30-45+ minutes
By Eagle-Gryphon Games

You and your friends all make a living by selling goods amongst a chain of beautiful tropical islands. Sounds great, right? Well, there's a problem. None of you are successful enough to buy your own seaplane, so you all pitched in and bought one together, which means that each day you all have to use the same plane to make all of the day's deliveries – and some of you aren't going to get paid. To make matters worse, the plane is in such disrepair that the instrumentation is broken, the compass demagnetized, and the windshield is covered in cracks, duct tape, and the remains of a few unfortunate seagulls, so the pilot might as well be flying blind...

Each day in Island Hopper, players auction off the Captain's seat; the player who becomes the Captain is in charge of flying the plane for the day, but cannot make any deliveries of their own. To make their deliveries, the other players bribe the Captain to fly to the islands to which they need to go, thereby earning themselves cash. When it's time for the Captain to fly, the Captain must close his eyes, pick up their goods tokens, and attempt to land them in an island's harbor. A successful landing means that players can fulfill their contracts and the captain collects his bribe — but if the goods splash into the sea, you might find yourself under water...

Isaribi
3-5 players, ages 10+, 45+ minutes
By Eagle-Gryphon Games

During the heart of the Edo era, the sea surrounding the nearby Edo Bay had a larger abundance of fish and shellfish, much more than the current day and age. Villages built up a thriving fishing lifestyle and market, catching a variety of delicious fish like horse mackerel, shrimp, clams.

Step back three hundred years ago, and experience what it was like to work in a coastal village in Japan. Players are fishermen trying to earn a living in one of nature's best providers: the sea. Over the course of five rounds, you'll need to bring back enough fish, and use your connections to help your fishing livelihood survive. Make wise choices to increase the number of actions you can take, and borrow money carefully to help further your finances.

In Isaribi, players have a limited number of action points, and on their turn they perform actions such as get fish, sell the fish, upgrade their fishing ship or net, and gain more AP. Whoever is able to gain the most wealth wins.

A jelly monster is invading the city! You and your squad have four hours to collect as much alien matter as possible before the wobbly invader is destroyed by the army. Deploy your squad of dice and fend off the competition!

2-4 players, ages 8+, 30-60+ minutes
By Xtronaut Enterprises

In Constellations: The Game of Stargazing and the Night Sky, players compete to populate the sky with real constellations.

In the game, players draw star cards, which represent the seven types of stars in the universe. Each constellation requires a unique combination of stars to play on the board. As the game progresses and the night sky fills up, players must use their puzzle skills to fit the last few constellations on the board. The player with the most constellation points at the end of the game wins!

The game also includes an educational workbook about stellar evolution and the history and mythology of constellations.

Mafiozoo
2-4 players, ages 12+, 60+ minutes
By Super Meeple

Mafiozoo is a revised version of Rüdiger Dorn's Louis XIV. The biggest difference between this and Louis XIV is that the three levels of mission cards have been replaced by a 4×4 map of influential locations. Instead of playing pairs of tokens to fulfill mission cards and gain their superpower, you play the pairs of tokens to place goons on the locations; and where you place goons can grant you access to place goons in new locations.

V-Commandos
1-4 players, ages 12+, 30-180+ minutes
By Triton Noir

Victory depends on you!

V-Commandos is a WW2 commandos co-operative board game. Players can either select a pre-generated mission or create their own by combining objective cards, then they assemble a team from famous Allied corps:​

U.S. Raiders, British SAS.,​

Devil’s Brigade, SOE, etc. During play, you hide in darkness, wear enemy uniforms, and sneak up on your targets. Get spotted? Open fire with emblematic allied weapons and try to turn the enemy's weapons against them! If you can, get back to cover and turn off the alarms as the enemy has more available troops than you. Thus, you need to focus on completing the mission, then leaving the area as quickly as you can.

Bye Bye Black Sheep
2-5 players, ages 8+, 20-30+ minutes
By Jolly Thinkers

As a Chinese saying goes, "When walking in a group of three, I must be able to learn from my companions." Now, the animals are going to test this idea during their holiday.

Bye-Bye Black Sheep is simple but exciting. You draw cards blindly from one another in order to collect a specific number of animal trio cards. Taking some risk may help you achieve your goal faster, but if you draw a black sheep, then it's bye-bye for you and unfortunately it will scare away all the animals waiting at the watering hole. Will you be lucky enough to come across the helpful eagle, spying mole, and thieving magpie? Say hello to Bye-bye Black Sheep!

Undercover Allies
Deception: Murder in Hong Kong Expansion
By Grey Fox Games / Jolly Thinkers

A tremor of fear ripples through the population in the streets of Hong Kong. Word is out that a recent string of murders may have been committed by one of the very investigators charged with solving them. The police are bringing in more help. Behind the scenes, the killer is recruiting too.

In Deception: Undercover Allies, new roles give special powers to both teams. More means and clue cards increase the possible solutions to the crime. Fresh scene tiles bring more life to the forensic scientist’s descriptions. And a new event challenges the already tenuous trust which exists among the investigators.

With so many new variables, both sides will have to find new ways to deal with the deception that surrounds them.

The Battles of Mollwitz and Chotusitz: The First Silesian War
2 players
By Clash of Arms

The latest instalment of the BAR series, Mollwitz and Chotusitz: Battles of the First Silesian War, contains the first two battles of Frederick the Great's career as he began to forge his legacy as the greatest general of his generation. But be aware, this is not the Prussian army of the Seven Years War!

At Mollwitz (April 10, 1741), King Frederick II has been outmaneuvered by FM Neipperg. The plodding Prussians must advance over snowy fields to assault the waiting Austrian infantry and escape the entrapment. The Austrian player, with superior cavalry, must use that cavalry to slow down or distract the Prussian infantry before they devastate their Austrian counterparts. Each side has their strengths and (weaknesses) and must seek to maximise them to their benefit before time runs out. And, there is always the possibility that Frederick will flee the battle ...

At Chosusitz (May 17, 1742), the Austrian army under Prince Charles has again outmaneuvered Frederick and hopes to annihilate the isolated part of his army. The pressure is on as the Austrians must attack quickly before the bulk of the Prussian army arrives as reinforcements. This is a finely matched battle with the Austrians as the attackers!

Both battles are only one map in size with less than the usual number of counters. Chosusitz is roughly the size of the BAR game of Lobositz whereas Mollwitz has only 2/3 of the counters of Chosusitz.

Cleric and Thief Starter Set
Munchkin Collectible Card Game
2 players, ages 10+, 20-40+ minutes
By Steve Jackson Games

Munchkin Collectible Card Game is a combat game in which players level up turn after turn, put loot into play to give themselves benefits, and attack (or bluff attacks!) against one another. Eliminate the other player first, and you win!

The Cleric & Thief Starter Set includes two 40-card decks, tokens, level dials, a six-sided die, quick-start rules, and two Hero cards. The Dwarf Cleric laughs in the face of pain as he heals himself, turn after turn, but the Elf Thief cheats and steals as often as possible...and getting caught cheating is sometimes part of her plan!
