Book of Rooms
Bluebeard’s Bride Supplement
By Magpie Games

The Book of Rooms is the first supplement for Bluebeard’s Bride, a tabletop role playing game where you and your friends explore Bluebeard’s home as the Bride, creating your own beautifully tragic version of the classic dark fairy tale.

Behind each door of the Book of Rooms is a chamber full of everything a Groundskeeper could ever need to awe Bluebeard’s new bride, ready to use at the table. Lock yourself in and marvel at these fully illustrated rooms, each with fleshed-out threats to the Bride, mysterious objects that cajole closer inspection, and horrors that lurk in the shadows, including:


  • [*=center]The Tea Room: You are cramped on all sides by cabinets full of the most delicate hand-painted china. A very feminine, blue floral damask wallpaper covers all the walls and the floor. The air is close, suffocating, and you have trouble breathing. A iridescent blue sofa invites anyone who lays eyes on it to try its comfortable shape.


  • [*=center]The Kitchen: The kitchen itself is a broad stone room with an uneven floor. An ancient metal oven is next to the fireplace, which is just barely smoking, a cold stewpot suspended from a hook nearby. A rotund man in a poorly fitting white apron and chef hat dozes on a chair next to a central table. A cleaver tied to his belt scrapes over the floor, back and forth with every labored breath he takes.
    [*=center]The Bathhouse: The air in the bathhouse is filled with the heady scent of perfumed oils, torrid and oppressive. Steam floods over the floor, where there is a steel drain forged to appear like lush foliage with flowers and leaves. Soft whines escape the drain, the pipes below exhaling from the heat. Your fingers just fit through the patterned drain. Straining through the slats you feel them rub against a soft, wet mass.

Bluebeard’s Bride is based on the Powered by the Apocalypse system used in Apocalypse World, Monsterhearts, Urban Shadows, and more. Bluebeard’s Bride produces adult feminine horror fiction like Crimson Peak, American Horror Story, or The Company of Wolves, making it fun for horror fans and dark fairy tale fans alike.

By the Author of Lady Windermere’s Fan
Core Rulebook
By Ed Turner

It's opening night at the Westlake Theatre, but due to a ludicrous level of mismanagement by the director and producer alike, you have neglected to hold a single rehearsal. In fact, you haven't even bothered to pick up a script. Frankly, you don't even remember what show you're supposed to be putting on. All you know for sure is that it's meant to be a comedy by the master of the Victorian farce, Oscar Wilde. With only that to go on, you're just going to have to improvise.

It's a comedy of manners, so that means self-absorbed characters weaving increasingly complex webs of deception to make themselves look good, played by actors doing everything in their power to keep the show from grinding to a halt. Cobble together a plot out of whatever sets you have on hand. Lie, cheat, and steal the spotlight through three breathless acts of quick changes, missed cues, and bon mots. Do whatever you must to keep the audience's attention until the final curtain and the thunderous applause you so richly deserve.

By the Author of Lady Windermere's Fan is a role-playing story game about desperate improvisation and egregious theatricality, written by Ed Turner (The Aether Sea, Venture City, Dresden Files Accelerated). Three to five players, one-shot, no prep, no GM.

Hellfrost Land of Fire Player’s Guide
Savage Worlds Setting
By Triple Ace Games

Inside the Players Guide you will find information that is also available in the core setting book. What we have done is cut out everything that is for the Games Master only and presented 80 pages of material for the player including character generation, gear and overall setting rules in this PDF only option.

About Land of Fire – The secrets of the sand revealed!

Welcome, oh noble stranger, to a land of flying carpets, bound jinn, glittering palaces, scheming wizirs, regal sphinxes, and trap-laden tombs bloated with fabulous treasure!

Freed from enslavement under the jinn five centuries ago by Suleiman the Great, the races of Al-Shirkuh, the Land of Fire, have prospered. Here, amid the endless sands and crumbling ruins of long-forgotten empires, stand glittering cities and verdant oases.

But Al-Shirkuh is changing. The temperature grows colder, the rains fall less often, and the desert is encroaching on the fertile lands. The jinn, once defeated, are gathering their strength; fire giants are raiding with impunity; the naga have returned to reclaim their homeland; and the withered undead of Hekata stir in their majestic pyramids.

Welcome indeed to Land of Fire, the first major geographic expansion to Hellfrost setting.

Sweetness
Delta Green Adventure
By Arc Dream Publishing

The Bernier family of Tampa, Florida, has been terrorized by a fire and weird graffiti. Police suspect a hate crime. The mark on the door, carved with a horn or a claw and smeared with blood and effluvia, makes Delta Green think otherwise. One of their experts says it’s the symbol of Kore, queen of the underworld, goddess of an ancient mystery cult.

The sign has been seen in old tomes that had deadly hypergeometrical effects. It may be a far deeper threat than anyone suspects. Delta Green’s agents must discover the connection between a loving family and an unnatural force that might claim them all.

Midgard World Book
5th Edition Setting
By Kobold Press

It is an age of war. Civilization slowly gives way to encroaching wilderness, and once-mighty empires now lie beneath the waves. Only magic and the warmth of hope keeps lights aglow when dread things prowl, and priestly wardings are bent by demonic rage.

The omens are dire. The roads to the shadow realm are open again, and the fey have returned to claim their ancient tribute. In the north the giants prepare for Ragnarok, while the goblins in the west grow restless. In the Crossroads, the shadow of the vampire princes falls across the land. The World Serpent is stirring—and not even all-knowing Baba Yaga can say what will happen next.

Now more than ever, Midgard needs heroes to stand against the dark, driving it back with spell, steel, and cunning!

The 460-page Midgard Worldbook includes:
* Detailed description of Midgard’s empires, cities, and kingdoms, with associated heraldry, rulers, and adventure hooks for each state, large or small
* Characters from Baba Yaga to the lords of the Dragon Empire, from the honest folk of Zobeck to various elven holdouts of Dornig and the vampire lords of Morgau
* Full lore on the pantheons of the Northlands, Crossroads, Elves, and others, including divine domain lists, rituals, divine demands, and the various masks and sacred texts—plus rituals and ambitions of the Dark Gods, for the GM’s eyes alone!
* Revised and expanded lore of the planes, history, calendars, and conflicts of the world
* Forbidden lore of blood magic, void magic, and various dooms and items not meant for players’ eyes!
* And much more!

Wrath of the River King
5th Edition
By Kobold Press

Face the River’s Fury!

In the small hamlet of Riverbend, the miller’s wife is missing, and the locals suspect that the husband himself was involved. But all is far from what it seems. Ellessandra, the missing woman, is actually an elf from the Summer Lands. She came to live in the human settlement when the miller made a dangerous pact with the River King, the lands’ powerful sidhe ruler.

Now, the player characters must unravel the truth behind Ellessandra’s disappearance, piece together the involvement of a young brownie-turned-fey-lord, and dive into the fey courts of the Summer Lands to stop a raid that would surely spell Riverbend’s doom. All the while, Arthurian intrigue and mischief runs high among the fey lords and ladies in this mercurial, open-format adventure from acclaimed adventure designer Wolfgang Baur!

This 5th Edition Roleplaying Game adventure for 5th- through 7th-level characters is full of hijinks and trickery, and fits nicely into any campaign setting in which fey are regal. Their courtly plots are dangerous and will test bold adventurers’ skills to the limit!

Hero’s Breviary of the Warring Kingdoms
The Dark Eye Sourcebook
By Ulisses

The Hero’s Breviary accompanies two knights on their way through Nostria & Andergast, which could hardly be more different. While a Nostrian is leaving the shores of the shores of the sea, an alien gaze from the Albumen fortress in the east of Lake Thuran is also setting off. What will they experience? What dangers are on their way? How do they perceive their home and its inhabitants? And what will happen when the two finally meet?

Discover the forest wilderness and the mysterious cliffs of Hallerû in the Ingvaltal. Learn first hand about the ancient feud between the rich, their inhabitants, and the spirits of the land that are venerated here. What do Nostrians and Andergastans really think of their rulers, the magic power of the witches, or the mysterious Sumes? And what about the enemy on the other side of the border?

The Hero’s Breviary reports this journey in first person, providing deep insight into the emotional world of the locals. It offers countless inspirations for exciting stories, a further deepening of the background, as well as the shaping of your own hero. The Hero’s Breviary is a cohesive addition to the regional gaming aids. It is suitable for both gamemasters and players alike, and does not require any knowledge of the rules.

Norway 1940
2-10 players, ages 14+, 60-300+ minutes
By Trafalgar Editions

In April 1940 Hitler’s forces moved against Norway. With a serious lack of naval support and limited supply, it was a colossal gamble. When the operation threatened to founder, Hitler almost succumbed to a complete failure of nerve.

In Norway 1940 players can command the forces of either side, seeking to co-ordinate air, sea and land operations from Oslo to the Arctic Circle. The design offers a unique and challenging presentation of one of the most interesting of World War Two’s early campaigns.

An easy to learn game model allows players to revisit and reshape the key operational decisions that very nearly gave the Third Reich its first defeat.
