This week brings an amazing wizard’s dice tower built out of toy bricks, adventures for D&D, and a Warhammer FRPG adventure and adventure support. Talisman Adventures the RPG is finally here in hardback so you can finally visit the land of Talisman and do what you want instead of what a 2d6 movement roll demands you do (and those hours of playtime make perfect sense now too). Also available is...
So much fantasy for D&D, Pathfinder, and Swords & Wizardry: an alternate cover Ravenloft, adventures, and a magic item book are all out. Also available is the excellent Soulbound RPG Starter Set that supports both GMs brand new to Soulbound as well as those looking for more world info and GM support. Trudvang Chronicles has a book on dwarves. Finally, one of my favorite RPGs, Never Going Home...
The Call of Cthulhu RPG offers rules and a 1920s setting of cosmic mind-bending horror together in one package. In a similar way, the Call of Cthulhu Slipcase Set combines a book of comprehensive rules and monsters with a tome of detailed history and rounds it all out with a Keeper screen, maps, adventures, a reference booklet, and blank character sheets. A whole world of horror is described...
Lots of new support for D&D, Pathfinder, and OSR RPGs including a magazine, a new class, adventures, monsters, and psionics. Fantasy Trip gets character collections. The week rounds out with a miniatures cathedral and miniatures that work well in post-apocalyptic RPGs.
After opening dozens of box sets over the years, I rarely find one that surprises me. The Soulbound Starter Set (PDF) serves as the reason I still look forward to opening new RPG box sets. On rare occasions, like this one, they make me say, “Wow!”
Campaign support and adventures for Swords & Wizardry kick off this week’s new RPGs. Exalted Funeral has new supplements for the DCC RPG. River Horse has new Equestria material to make your Pretty Pony that much better. There are four new adventures for The Fantasy Trip. And for Alien RPG Game Mothers, there is a box of Aliens to plague your PCs with. Give a PC a face hug today.
Lots of fantasy options this week. Sea monsters for D&D and an adventure for Castles & Crusades kicks us off. Next up is a mutating moth grub yearning to shoot god rays to immolate a kingdom for DCC RPG. Followed by a one on one fantasy adventure using its own systerm and a five part adventure series for the Fantasy Trip. To balance all the fantasy, Shadowrun includes guns and cybernetics to...
A pirate companion for Traveller The Pirates of Drinax waits for freebooters, dungeon pets are looking for a home for a variety of fantasy systems, and Harn gets more detailed locations. The week rounds out with a handful of unique RPGs for mind bending, solo, and/or diceless roleplaying.
This month brings more monsters to D&D from DMDave, one on one adventures for Call of Cthulhu, dark historical settings for Chronicles of Darkness, and NPCs and an adventure for Champions. Also, books for Heart - The City Beneath are available again and four sci-fi minis finish the week.
New cards with animal stats and a module for D&D, a set of GM tools for the Devil’s Run Roleplaying Game, lots of stuff for the Weird West including rules and adventures and dice, war rules and an adventure about war for Rokugan, and a skull cover edition of Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG.
New adventures and decks for D&D. Hardcover copies of classic Palladium rulebooks. Tokens and more for TORG Eternity. Adventures and other books for Big Eyes, Small Mouth. With a final stop in Wyoming with a sandbox setting for Deadlands and a poster map to help navigate to anywhere else in the Weird West.
The Decks of Many Things for D&D and a new adventure for the Mutant Crawl Classics RPG. SLA Industries is back in a new edition. The Cyberpapacy is also back for Torg Eternity. Finally, Ryuutama has been reprinted and has been popping up in more and more online game stores. Ryuutama is a gem of a game and well suited to online play.
I had the opportunity to interview Derik Dunning, who recently published British Raj: A Masque of the Red Death Guide to British India for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.
World maps, miniature towers, spells, magic decks of wonder, and blank square and hex maps for your D&D campaigns this week. Also, supplements, adventures, and minis for sci-fi RPGs. And a reprint of Ultraviolet Grasslands.
Monsters and new rules for D&D. Madness and cults for Pathfinder. A new system of Warhammer 40k. Animals and undead miniatures for Animal Adventures. All rounded out with new ships for Star Trek and the original d6 rules for Star Wars in a reprinted edition that is currently on sale.
With the kickstarted City of Mist Starter Box in my hands, I’m going to open it up and see if it looks like I really can learn the game using the step by step rule introduction. The full set of rules is two thick hardcover books with a deep story and in depth rules. Condensing everything down for new players is a great idea. Let’s see if the Starter Box pulls off this caper.
