    2400 & 24XX: a Beautiful, Three-Page, Micro RPG

    Its a wonder what you can squeeze onto three pages. I've been recently binge reading a growing series of tiny Indie RPGs from one Jason Tocci, simply titled 2400. These 15+, three-page-plus-cover, books are all settings for a very elegant system. Roll a 1d6. If hindered: downgrade and roll...

    Free Homeworld Quickstart From Modiphius

    Oh, neat. Never played the series, but I've seen a couple of reviews/essays on it. A rich setting to pull from. And I second giving stats to the Beast. If you've never seen the game... Its a... bioweapon. I'd rather not spoil its full MO... Give this and its following installment a watch...

    And, of course, Bards. Nothing but DM Fiat stopping them from making a form of Exotic Dance their performing art of choice.

    The Proper Use of Nudity in FRPG Art

    Yeah, I've always been of the "crunch informs fluff" and "crunch reflects fluff" schools. If you want your PC to be viable in a harsh, usually combative, environment while seemingly ill equipped for said environment, I prefer some justification for it. For examples: the 5E classes who can get...

    Achtung Cthulhu 2d20 Makes World War II Even Weirder

    You may be on luck. Chaosium themselves bought out Cubical 7's, non-Laundry, CoC lines after C7 let their BRP license lapse. These include Cthulhu Britannica (Classic/Jazz Era England including a big box set on London) and World War Cthulhu (The Great War to the Cold War, if I'm remembering...

    Cyberpunk Red: One Year Later

    The opposite end of the 'humanity/essence' idea would be Eclipse Phase, where the bulk of transhumanity are infomorphs that barely got beamed off Earth when the AI uprising happened. While swapping egos from a basic bot morph or your digital Eidolon emulator to a cybernetically augmented sun...

    There’s a TOMB RAIDER RPG Coming!

    I agree with others, this feels like a setting for an existing system then a full stand-alone. Fate or cinematic GURPS would work. Also, said settings main draw being Lara herself and not much else. TRs lore is mostly public domain, 'the myths are true' stuff.

    Edge Announced It Will Be Making Star Wars RPGs....

    So, are they bringing SW in line with the rest of the Genesys books? I'm fairly certain SW was basically the dry run for the system and has its own early iteration quirks. Also, is L5R running on Genesys or its own thing?

    D&D General D&D TV Series Coming This Fall From G4

    Hold on, yeah. The world becomes obsessed with D&D overnight. The hobby store is the size of a full mall, Campaigns are being broadcast like sports games, and monsters from the Manual start invading.

    D&D General D&D TV Series Coming This Fall From G4

    I was an X-Play kid, personally. It was fun watching the reviews and sketches. So many dead interns... And freaking Ratty the puppet!

    D&D General D&D TV Series Coming This Fall From G4

    Didn't that second Rick & Morty vs D&D comic make this exact joke?

    The COWBOY BEBOP RPG Is Coming Next Year

    I'm always a Fate Core shill and this seems like a prime setting for it. Rules light, narrative heavy. Maybe even with Caroline & Tuesday as a Fate Accelerated sister game.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Blackbirds RPG, QUEERZ! RPG, DUSTER, and More

    Ugh, I like the idea of the LGBTQ+ Anime game but... That title... Can we all just stop trying to reclaim slurs?! All it does it make it so the bigots can use them with less backlash and people in the Community who've internalized that bigotry and/or like playing the victims can hinder real...

    The LONG wait ends - 'Girl Genius Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game - Powered by GURPS' has been released!

    Maybe the Folgios really liked that GURPS Third Edition adaptation of Castle Falkenstein? Actually, an alt-setting for THAT game would have worked for GG, as well.

    D&D 5E (2014) Everything You Need To Know About Witchlight

    Oh, this looks... Well, DELIGHTFUL! Fun and whimsical are just my jams. And the Animated Series connection is cool. I hope they do like the Waterdeep Enchiridion and have that map up for download, it'd make a nice prop.
