Full of the world’s lore, fantasy sea-based setting, and its adorable art, this project comes to life using an established RPG engine. The campaign page includes a discussion about how to create <strong><em>Cypher</em></strong> characters, what species are offered, what kinds of beasts you’ll face, and more.

Then there are, with stretch goals, another nine pamphlets that range from adventures to more rules and guidance. Presented as a “boxed set” of pamphlets, I’m curious to see the finished product as well as play a streamlined <strong><em>Forged in the Dark</em></strong> cyberpunk experience.

This comedy RPG is a rump of superheroics, heists, and a love letter to Saturday morning cartoons. If you’re a fan of rules lite RPG comedy superheroes, over-the-top plans, and adventures that go delightfully wrong, this is going to be a winner for your gaming table.

I’m going to focus on the RPG for reasons that should be obvious since this is an RPG site. This standalone [B][I]Cypher System RPG[/I][/B] rule and lore book clocks in at 400 pages, adapting the award winning board game to RPG. Full of the world’s lore, fantasy sea-based setting, and its adorable art, this project comes to life using an established RPG engine. The campaign page includes a discussion about how to create [B][I]Cypher[/I][/B] characters, what species are offered, what kinds of beasts you’ll face, and more. If you’re a fan of [B][I]Tidal Blades,[/I][/B] the [B][I]Cypher System,[/I][/B] or sea-based RPGs, this is worth a look.

This crowdfunding offers up to eleven pamphlets to get you into the game and adventures. [B][I]The GM Guide[/I][/B] is an eight panel pamphlet, like all of these pamphlets, that shares the core rules. [B][I]The Player Guide[/I][/B] is given to each player as the player’s playbook and reference guide. Then there are, with stretch goals, another nine pamphlets that range from adventures to more rules and guidance. Presented as a “boxed set” of pamphlets, I’m curious to see the finished product as well as play a streamlined [B][I]Forged in the Dark[/I][/B] cyberpunk experience. Add to that, the campaign suggests that these pamphlets will look outstanding. [B][I]CBR+PNK[/I][/B] has great art and a nice format making use of the how information can be conveyed via pamphlets.

As adults, you have to deal with the horrors that scared you as children. This GM-less RPG lets you build out the school with maps of rooms that you can draw on and answer questions about. Akin to the second part of Stephen King’s [B][I]IT [/I][/B]meets the difficulties of Hogwarts, you’ll come back and fight your childhood demons.
