- WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?: Dustin DePenning delivers Death Divers! Synthicide, Dustin’s first RPG is a winning sci-fi experience with genius game design. I’ve campaigned in it and want to return to the system for more. On the strength of that game, I playtested Heroic Dark, Dustin DePenning’s current RPG, at Gen Con 2019. It was a great time. The sci-fi setting is table-sourced and the adventures grow from there. This campaign provides both the core rulebook (130 pages) and a separate campaign setting (140 pages) for you to create your world or use the Death Divers setting. But, don’t take my word for it, try out the free early edition of Heroic Dark and see if it’s right for you.

- WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?: SINS is an indie horror RPG set in the post-apocalyptic future as you use terrible powers to face the undead Brood. It’s a dark setting that uses a fluid, original system to power it. If it sounds good but you’d like to know more, if you were among the 800,000 backers of Itch.io’s Bundle for Racial Justice, the core rulebook is among the 1,700 items you purchased, and it’s worth a read. Through this Kickstarter, SINS: Manifest Destiny is the first expansion to the line. It advances the setting’s timeline by twenty years, details the organizations along the East Coast of the US, provides more equipment, vehicle rules, challenges, a solid sounding bestiary, scenarios, and more. If you want to expand your SINS, this is how to do it without regrets.
