Homeworld Revelations | Homeworld Revelations - GM Screen | Homeworld Revelations - Dice Set by Modiphius Entertainment
- SYSTEM: 2d20 System
- PRODUCT TYPE: hardcover core rulebook/screen/six dice
- RETAIL PRICE: $54/$34/$25
- DESCRIPTION: An RPG under licenses from Gearbox Software LLC for their video game franchise. PCs are crew aboard one of the Kushan fleets ships.

- SYSTEM: Torg Eternity
- PRODUCT TYPE: map packs/deck of cards/20 poker chip tokens
- RETAIL PRICE: $14.99 each except tokens are $19.99
- DESCRIPTION: Map Pack 1 is a double-sided map. Haunted Asylum is filled with dark corridors and claustrophobic rooms. For the Foggy Street, dim gas lamps provide some protection from the darkened alleys. Map Pack 2 is also double-sided. The Jungle Temple, once a holy site but now overgrown by the potentially corrupted wilderness, could be a sacred hardpoint to be protected or the new lair of something sinister. For the Icy Cliffside, rather than a flat overhead view, this treacherous path is shown vertically, with a relatively safe longer route, or risky shortcuts and hidden ice caves. The Orrorsh Booster Deck contains a re-themed 40 card Drama Deck featuring unique special effects each round. Ten new Cosm cards increase the variety of effects to bring out the horror of the setting. Finally, five new cards are added to the Drama Deck, bringing back some old favorites and adding completely new options to the mix. Twenty unique Possibility tokens add flavor and style to your game of Torg Eternity. Orrorsh Possibility Tokens come with full color art from Orrorsh on one side and the Torg Eternity logo on the other.
