What is best in life? To roleplay a raccoon sky pirate in a flying trash ship who acts randomly and attempts to fend off the Neighborhood Watch while hopefully avoiding blowing up the ship. Or perhaps it is to grab the latest Iron Kingdoms books for D&D. Or play a Power Ranger, a Soulbound with a vehicle or ship, or crew for Mothership in various deadly and entertaining escapades. If you manage to play both a racoon sky pirate and a Power Ranger at some point, please post here with the best bit of trash you nicked and what color ranger you are.

- DESCRIPTION: Over 20 years ago the Iron Kingdoms debuted for D&D 3E introducing full metal fantasy via steam jacks and pistols. It has now been updated for D&D 5E. The Requiem Campaign Guide includes the history of the Iron Kingdoms and the current state of the world with the most notable of the world’s unique and fascinating locations. PCs can be a human, gobber, trolkin, Rhulic dwarf, ogrun, Iosan, or Nyss elf. Class options range from the stalwart man-at-arms fighter to the free-flowing monk of the Order of the Fist along with new options like the gun mage, arcane mechanic, combat alchemist, or warcaster. Also has new feats, spells, backgrounds, guns, and galvanic armor. The newly updated Monsternomicon includes over 80 monsters, new and old, steeped in over 20 years of worldbuilding. Ferocious packs of ravenous burrow-mawgs, deadly ethereal pistol wraiths that haunt the back roads and forgotten cemeteries, and the fiendish Infernals that still stalk the shadows. The Legend of the Witchfire adventure takes PCs from level 1 to level 4 and is a perfect introduction to the action-packed and intrigue-filled world of the Iron Kingdoms. The veteran of countless wars, Alecia returns to Corvis, the City of Ghosts, in search of help from the malignant forces that seek the return of the coveted sword. Only the courage and sacrifice of a small group of unlikely heroes can save Alexia from the brink of madness and prevent the infernal weapon from fulfilling its apocalyptic legacy. The Screen is a four panel hardback foldout screen for IK - Requiem.

Raccoon Sky Pirates by Hectic Electron
- SYSTEM: GMless unique
- PRODUCT TYPE: boxed set with a 56-page zine, a deck of cards describing a wide variety of hilarious complications, and a 12-sided die with a raccoon face on the 12
- RETAIL PRICE: $25
- DESCRIPTION: A narrative, GM-less role-playing game for up to six player-racoons that takes about three hours to play. You and your friends play raccoons: chittering, baggy-pants, ring-tailed burglars. One day in the junkyard, after inventing an improbable antigravity device, you hatch a scheme to build a ship out of trash and fly to the suburbs in search of better trash. Flying a ship takes coordination and discipline. Unfortunately, you're a bunch of raccoons so what you do is random (you're a raccoon, after all). You have to narrate a scene out of your random action, whether it was helpful or not, and all the complications introduced. When multiple raccoons act in concert, you can trade dice to get a result that works better. While trying not to wake up the residents or the dog, loot the house of all its valuables, like Roombas, PlayStations and other trash. Finally, loaded down, escape back to the junkyard while fending off the Neighborhood Watch. And making sure your ship doesn’t explode.
