Turf Wars
Dusk City Outlaws Supplement
By Sratchpad Publishing
The Turf Wars supplement for Dusk City Outlaws expands upon the core game's campaign rules and adds new options for long-term play. In a Turf Wars campaign, all members of the crew are from the same cartel, and their crimes serve a higher purpose beyond just building their reputations. As the campaign progresses and Jobs are completed, the crew can expand their cartel's influence in districts of their choice, with the goal of eventually expanding their cartel's turf when the end of the year comes around and the new turf lines are drawn at the Thiefmoot. Of course, the other cartels aren't sitting idly by waiting for the crew to take control of their districts; the other cartels are spreading their own influence, and the crew must guard against their rivals making inroads to take away control of districts in their turf. A Turf Wars campaign plays out over the course of one year, through 10 Jobs (one per month), with rules for determining which districts are taken over by which cartels.
Included for use with the Turf Wars campaign are:
This supplement also includes rules for playing rookie characters. Rookie criminals start out much less competent than experienced thieves, making pulling off Jobs all the more challenging. Rookie characters advance after each session, growing more skilled and more survivable as their careers go on, allowing for gradual character growth over the course of the campaign. Rookie characters can be played in Turf Wars campaigns, or in campaigns using the rules from the Dusk City Outlaws core game.

A Continuation of Horrible Events
Bedlam Hall Adventure
By Monkeyfun Studios LLC
Three orphans have come to the Hall, seeking refuge from a terrible madman in pursuit of their... oh have you heard this story before? We assure you, this particular telling is quite different than what you may have heard already. These events are more than unfortunate, they are downright atrocious.
This is the third Terrible Tale adventure for Monkeyfun Studios' dreadpunk RPG, Bedlam Hall. Powered by the Apocalypse, players take the terrible role of servants for the Blackwood family who are quite… different. The family’s troubles run the gamut between inconvenient relationships to terror-driven psychoses that can turn bloody and violent. Not quite the best employers to work for, in any sense of the word. Coupled with the house’s own peculiarities and an overwhelming need to maintain one’s own skeletons in the closet, every member of staff has their hands full to say the least.
Can you manage to survive the strange happenings and the family’s unnatural behavior while still keeping the house under control and your references in order? Play to find out.
A regrettable part of the Bedlam Hall product line.

Spacecraft Design Guide
Traveller / Cepheus Engine Sourcebook
By Moon Toad Publishing
From one man work pods working around orbitals to kilometer long armoured warships displacing a megaton, the space ships of known space are as varied as the crews that operate them.
Expanding on the basic starship design rules from the Cepheus Engine System Reference Document, the Spacecraft Design Guide provides the tools for a naval architect to design small craft, traders, light naval vessels or massive capital ships. They can install the latest technology to allow the ship to jump interstellar distances, use inertialess drives that bend gravity to the will of the ship, move by falling towards microscopic black holes or “ride fire“ on a ship that uses a fusion plasma drive and spin gravity to provide for crew comfort. They can also design low technology missile armed warships or capital ships bristling with high energy weapons and capital ship killing torpedoes.
New advanced rules allow for naval capital ship combat where massed barrages rather than the fire from a single turret hit decide who the victor will be.

5th Edition Adventure
By EN Publishing
Welcome to the second adventure in the critically acclaimed ZEITGEIST adventure path!
This is the 5th Edition version of this adventure.
Summer smog conceals the skies over Flint, and the skyseers, once able to foretell the future in the wheeling heavens, are blind and discredited.

When a woman is murdered in the Danoran consulate, the party's investigation threatens to unearth a conspiracy, and those in power move to silence all who might reveal them. Only with the guidance of an old dying prophet will the party have a chance to pierce the conspiracy's veil, and save Flint from a coming doom.
These whopping 36-pages are the first part of The Dying Skyseer, the second adventure in the ZEITGEIST adventure path.

Gretchinz!
2-4 players, ages 8+, 20+ minutes
By Devir Games
The greenskin’s passion for speed and violence is known throughout the galaxy. It is not uncommon to see (from a reasonably safe distance of course) little crowds of Orks from different klans take any excuse to launch their best Gretchinz into insane races where they pilot buggies which have been slapped together with whatever is at hand. There is no need to point out that firepower and speed are far more important than the safety of the racers when it comes to the design of such contraptions.
Now you too can recreate these frantic races, pitting these crazy speed freaks against each other. Play your cards cunningly and try to manage your attacks and movements intelligently, before your rivals have a chance to get ahead. Come on, you must finish them!
Gretchinz! is a crazy racing game for 2 to 4 players (which can be expanded to up to 8 players with a second copy of the game).
Players will be rolling their dice all at the same time. Dice indicate the type of actions that players can perform: move, attach, draw new cards, etc. The fist player to align the dice to his interest will yell “Waaagh!” and everybody else need to make do with the results they have on the table at that moment. Regarding attacks, players won’t know for sure if the cards they have at hand are good enough for their intended action. Players hold the cards in their hand in such a way that they will not be able to see the relevant side of their hands (while the rest of the players can actually see the fire power of the rest of the opponents).

War of the Worlds : England
1 player, 30-90+ minutes
By Dan Verssen Games
England is under attack by strange forces from Mars!
You must hurry to field forces to oppose the Martian menace before they ravage all of England and begin converting it for Martian colonization. The Tripods will first destroy your cities and send refugees fleeing across the land, desperate to escape via harbors and ships. Once an area is destroyed, Red Weed will start to sprout up, finishing their work.
As England is devastated, your production decreases and your ability to produce Field Guns, Infantry, and Cavalry also decreases! When you march your forces into the same region with a Tripod wave, you get to command them in battle! Once you deploy your forces to the map, they are ready to do battle!
In battle, the towering Tripods will march toward your positions as your guns do their best to bring them down. While advancing, the Tripods will attempt to detect your concealed guns. Once they do, they will blast them with heat rays!
Each game turn brings the war closer to victory for either Humans or Martians! The Martians gain colonization points by destroying the land and scooping up the fleeing refugees. You gain victory points by keeping your lands healthy, destroying Tripods, and evacuating the grateful refugees!
The game begins with a wave of Martian Tripods marching across England, as well as a Martian Cylinder already embedded in the ground, and preparing to construct a second wave of Tripods!
The War of the Worlds is a solitaire board game that puts you in command of the Human forces in a desperate attempt to defend Earth against the invading Martian Tripods!
While you plan and carry out the Human side of the war, the game system commands the Martian forces.
The War of the Worlds is a low complexity board game for gamers, science fiction fans, and anyone who likes an easy to play game with good decision-making. Each games takes only an hour or so to play.

War of the Worlds : Japan

By Dan Verssen Games
The War of the Worlds is a solitaire board game that puts you in command of the Human forces in a desperate attempt to defend Earth against the invading Martian Tripods!
While you plan and carry out the Human side of the war, the game system commands the Martian forces.
The War of the Worlds is a solitaire, low complexity board game. Each games takes only an hour or so to play.
Japan possessed a small but well-trained military at the time. To reflect this, their Units cost a little more, but also have a better chance to carry out their orders. Their smaller geographical area makes for more intense combat with fewer movement options. The Martians have 3 Tripods in each Wave. Japan only pays 3 PP to build Harbors, and only pay 1 PP to move Units during the Production step. Battles in Japan will be close-in, intense, and highly mobile. Overall, the game will have a frantic feel.

War of the Worlds : France
1 player, 30-90+ minutes
By Dan Verssen Games
While France enjoyed quality soldiers and equipment, it suffered from a lack of quality leadership. In the game, French forces are less expensive, but also less skilled. This will make their battles larger than English battles, but they will also suffer more casualties. They have the standard 4 PP cost to build Harbors, but must pay 3 PP instead of 2 PP to move Units during the Production step. Again, reflecting the lack of effective leadership. The Martians receive 4 Tripods in each Wave.
View attachment 98233
War of the Worlds : US East Coast
1 player, 30-90+ minutes
By Dan Verssen Games
The US fielded a small military force at the time. This results in them having fewer Units at the start of the game. However, as seen a few decades earlier during the Civil War, the US is able to rapidly ramp up their production capabilities and quickly expand the size of their army. As the game unfolds, the US receives production bonuses to reflect this. The geographical area represented by the US map is larger than in the other games, as such, each Martian Wave is made up of 5 Tripods, and they tend to move a little less often. To match this, the US must pay 3 PP to move Units during the Production step. The US game gives a more lumbering feel with large forces bashing against each other.

By Tactic
Gold Armada is a pirate themed board game where players roll the dice and try to collect as many gold coins as possible! The better you roll, the more difficult it is to collect more coins. Successful rolls are rewarded with gold, but unsuccessful rolls will earn you a skull token.
Each turn the player rolls 5 dice and tries to match a certain set of symbols on the game boards. He can reroll any number of dice twice. Depending on the final result, he can pick up 1 coin in a row that matches a set of symbols on his dice. When picking up a coin, a new symbol becomes visible, making the current row harder, but also more rewarding as the value of the coins increase.
If the player fails to roll any set of symbols, he has to pick up a skull coin, which gives him -1 points for each coin at the end of the game.
The game ends when all gold coins are picked up or when a player takes the last skull coin. Count the value of all your gold coins and substract any skull coins. The player who has the most points wins the game!

You can conduct one of several individual patrols, or fight the whole campaign, with a goal of promotion to Captain – if you survive.

Turf Wars
Dusk City Outlaws Supplement
By Sratchpad Publishing
The Turf Wars supplement for Dusk City Outlaws expands upon the core game's campaign rules and adds new options for long-term play. In a Turf Wars campaign, all members of the crew are from the same cartel, and their crimes serve a higher purpose beyond just building their reputations. As the campaign progresses and Jobs are completed, the crew can expand their cartel's influence in districts of their choice, with the goal of eventually expanding their cartel's turf when the end of the year comes around and the new turf lines are drawn at the Thiefmoot. Of course, the other cartels aren't sitting idly by waiting for the crew to take control of their districts; the other cartels are spreading their own influence, and the crew must guard against their rivals making inroads to take away control of districts in their turf. A Turf Wars campaign plays out over the course of one year, through 10 Jobs (one per month), with rules for determining which districts are taken over by which cartels.
Included for use with the Turf Wars campaign are:
[*=center]Complete campaign rules, for both players and Judges
[*=center]New Story Rewards the crew members can use to modify the way their crew gains control of districts
[*=center]New complications for the Judge to use to make life harder on the crew, plus new rules for permanent heat and ongoing complications
[*=center]Suggestions for adapting existing scenarios for use in a Turf Wars campaign
[*=center]District tracking sheets for the Judge
This supplement also includes rules for playing rookie characters. Rookie criminals start out much less competent than experienced thieves, making pulling off Jobs all the more challenging. Rookie characters advance after each session, growing more skilled and more survivable as their careers go on, allowing for gradual character growth over the course of the campaign. Rookie characters can be played in Turf Wars campaigns, or in campaigns using the rules from the Dusk City Outlaws core game.

A Continuation of Horrible Events
Bedlam Hall Adventure
By Monkeyfun Studios LLC
Three orphans have come to the Hall, seeking refuge from a terrible madman in pursuit of their... oh have you heard this story before? We assure you, this particular telling is quite different than what you may have heard already. These events are more than unfortunate, they are downright atrocious.
This is the third Terrible Tale adventure for Monkeyfun Studios' dreadpunk RPG, Bedlam Hall. Powered by the Apocalypse, players take the terrible role of servants for the Blackwood family who are quite… different. The family’s troubles run the gamut between inconvenient relationships to terror-driven psychoses that can turn bloody and violent. Not quite the best employers to work for, in any sense of the word. Coupled with the house’s own peculiarities and an overwhelming need to maintain one’s own skeletons in the closet, every member of staff has their hands full to say the least.
Can you manage to survive the strange happenings and the family’s unnatural behavior while still keeping the house under control and your references in order? Play to find out.
A regrettable part of the Bedlam Hall product line.

Spacecraft Design Guide
Traveller / Cepheus Engine Sourcebook
By Moon Toad Publishing
From one man work pods working around orbitals to kilometer long armoured warships displacing a megaton, the space ships of known space are as varied as the crews that operate them.
Expanding on the basic starship design rules from the Cepheus Engine System Reference Document, the Spacecraft Design Guide provides the tools for a naval architect to design small craft, traders, light naval vessels or massive capital ships. They can install the latest technology to allow the ship to jump interstellar distances, use inertialess drives that bend gravity to the will of the ship, move by falling towards microscopic black holes or “ride fire“ on a ship that uses a fusion plasma drive and spin gravity to provide for crew comfort. They can also design low technology missile armed warships or capital ships bristling with high energy weapons and capital ship killing torpedoes.
New advanced rules allow for naval capital ship combat where massed barrages rather than the fire from a single turret hit decide who the victor will be.

Zeitgeist #2.1: The Dying Skyseer
5th Edition Adventure
By EN Publishing
Welcome to the second adventure in the critically acclaimed ZEITGEIST adventure path!
This is the 5th Edition version of this adventure.
Summer smog conceals the skies over Flint, and the skyseers, once able to foretell the future in the wheeling heavens, are blind and discredited.
Unnatural tremors shake the city. Protesters brawl with police in the factory district. Fires burn in Flint's heart. An assassin flies on the wind. Foreign ships smuggle in magic arms, ready for a civil war. But the greatest threat is hidden beyond the sight of men.
When a woman is murdered in the Danoran consulate, the party's investigation threatens to unearth a conspiracy, and those in power move to silence all who might reveal them. Only with the guidance of an old dying prophet will the party have a chance to pierce the conspiracy's veil, and save Flint from a coming doom.
These whopping 36-pages are the first part of The Dying Skyseer, the second adventure in the ZEITGEIST adventure path.

Gretchinz!
2-4 players, ages 8+, 20+ minutes
By Devir Games
The greenskin’s passion for speed and violence is known throughout the galaxy. It is not uncommon to see (from a reasonably safe distance of course) little crowds of Orks from different klans take any excuse to launch their best Gretchinz into insane races where they pilot buggies which have been slapped together with whatever is at hand. There is no need to point out that firepower and speed are far more important than the safety of the racers when it comes to the design of such contraptions.
Now you too can recreate these frantic races, pitting these crazy speed freaks against each other. Play your cards cunningly and try to manage your attacks and movements intelligently, before your rivals have a chance to get ahead. Come on, you must finish them!
Gretchinz! is a crazy racing game for 2 to 4 players (which can be expanded to up to 8 players with a second copy of the game).
Players will be rolling their dice all at the same time. Dice indicate the type of actions that players can perform: move, attach, draw new cards, etc. The fist player to align the dice to his interest will yell “Waaagh!” and everybody else need to make do with the results they have on the table at that moment. Regarding attacks, players won’t know for sure if the cards they have at hand are good enough for their intended action. Players hold the cards in their hand in such a way that they will not be able to see the relevant side of their hands (while the rest of the players can actually see the fire power of the rest of the opponents).

Akham Horror Living Card Game Expansion
By Fantasy Flight Games

Three tasks stand before you at once: you must protect the relic from falling into the wrong hands, solve the mystery of a missing friend, and determine whether to trust your mysterious guest. The stakes are high and time is short. Which will you pursue?
Threads of Fate is the first Mythos Pack in "The Forgotten Age" cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game. This new scenario throws you into the investigation like never before with three separate Act decks that are each in play simultaneously.

War of the Worlds : England
1 player, 30-90+ minutes
By Dan Verssen Games
England is under attack by strange forces from Mars!
You must hurry to field forces to oppose the Martian menace before they ravage all of England and begin converting it for Martian colonization. The Tripods will first destroy your cities and send refugees fleeing across the land, desperate to escape via harbors and ships. Once an area is destroyed, Red Weed will start to sprout up, finishing their work.
As England is devastated, your production decreases and your ability to produce Field Guns, Infantry, and Cavalry also decreases! When you march your forces into the same region with a Tripod wave, you get to command them in battle! Once you deploy your forces to the map, they are ready to do battle!
In battle, the towering Tripods will march toward your positions as your guns do their best to bring them down. While advancing, the Tripods will attempt to detect your concealed guns. Once they do, they will blast them with heat rays!
Each game turn brings the war closer to victory for either Humans or Martians! The Martians gain colonization points by destroying the land and scooping up the fleeing refugees. You gain victory points by keeping your lands healthy, destroying Tripods, and evacuating the grateful refugees!
The game begins with a wave of Martian Tripods marching across England, as well as a Martian Cylinder already embedded in the ground, and preparing to construct a second wave of Tripods!
The War of the Worlds is a solitaire board game that puts you in command of the Human forces in a desperate attempt to defend Earth against the invading Martian Tripods!
While you plan and carry out the Human side of the war, the game system commands the Martian forces.
The War of the Worlds is a low complexity board game for gamers, science fiction fans, and anyone who likes an easy to play game with good decision-making. Each games takes only an hour or so to play.

War of the Worlds : Japan
1 player, 30-90+ minutes
By Dan Verssen Games
The War of the Worlds is a solitaire board game that puts you in command of the Human forces in a desperate attempt to defend Earth against the invading Martian Tripods!
While you plan and carry out the Human side of the war, the game system commands the Martian forces.
The War of the Worlds is a solitaire, low complexity board game. Each games takes only an hour or so to play.
Japan possessed a small but well-trained military at the time. To reflect this, their Units cost a little more, but also have a better chance to carry out their orders. Their smaller geographical area makes for more intense combat with fewer movement options. The Martians have 3 Tripods in each Wave. Japan only pays 3 PP to build Harbors, and only pay 1 PP to move Units during the Production step. Battles in Japan will be close-in, intense, and highly mobile. Overall, the game will have a frantic feel.
View attachment 98232
War of the Worlds : France
1 player, 30-90+ minutes
By Dan Verssen Games
While France enjoyed quality soldiers and equipment, it suffered from a lack of quality leadership. In the game, French forces are less expensive, but also less skilled. This will make their battles larger than English battles, but they will also suffer more casualties. They have the standard 4 PP cost to build Harbors, but must pay 3 PP instead of 2 PP to move Units during the Production step. Again, reflecting the lack of effective leadership. The Martians receive 4 Tripods in each Wave.
View attachment 98233
War of the Worlds : US East Coast
1 player, 30-90+ minutes
By Dan Verssen Games
The US fielded a small military force at the time. This results in them having fewer Units at the start of the game. However, as seen a few decades earlier during the Civil War, the US is able to rapidly ramp up their production capabilities and quickly expand the size of their army. As the game unfolds, the US receives production bonuses to reflect this. The geographical area represented by the US map is larger than in the other games, as such, each Martian Wave is made up of 5 Tripods, and they tend to move a little less often. To match this, the US must pay 3 PP to move Units during the Production step. The US game gives a more lumbering feel with large forces bashing against each other.

Gold Armada
2-5 players, ages 7+, 20+ minutes
By Tactic
Gold Armada is a pirate themed board game where players roll the dice and try to collect as many gold coins as possible! The better you roll, the more difficult it is to collect more coins. Successful rolls are rewarded with gold, but unsuccessful rolls will earn you a skull token.
Each turn the player rolls 5 dice and tries to match a certain set of symbols on the game boards. He can reroll any number of dice twice. Depending on the final result, he can pick up 1 coin in a row that matches a set of symbols on his dice. When picking up a coin, a new symbol becomes visible, making the current row harder, but also more rewarding as the value of the coins increase.
If the player fails to roll any set of symbols, he has to pick up a skull coin, which gives him -1 points for each coin at the end of the game.
The game ends when all gold coins are picked up or when a player takes the last skull coin. Count the value of all your gold coins and substract any skull coins. The player who has the most points wins the game!
