Vendor: TAO Games
Type: Role Playing
Price: 13.50

Once upon a time, as far north as north can go, there lived the greatest people that this world will ever see. They are gone now, destroyed just as the world destroys all beautiful things. All that remains are these moments we call memories, moments frozen from the flow of time. Polaris: Chivalric Tragedy at Utmost North is a game for three to five players set during the final years of the Northernmost People, just before the remnants of their civilization were swallowed up by their own Mistake. The protagonists of the story are Knights of the Order of the Stars, beholden by ancient oaths to serve the stars and protect their people. The antagonists facing the knights are multitudinous -- demons from the mistake, doubters from the people, and even betrayers within the brotherhood of Knights. Polaris uses a set of simple and easy-to-learn mechanics to help guide your game's storyline to an appropriate tragic ending. Each player at the table guides the protagonist in a different capacity, and the central points of the story are further shaped by the twelve Key Phrases. This is no longer a history; this is not yet a story. This is all that remains. Whatever else is what you make of it.

Vendor: TAO Games
Type: Role Playing
Price: 8.50

The Drifter's Escape is an anthology of short stories and a role-playing game. Like most anthologies, there is a unified theme to the entries: they are all about the role of the American drifter, and his place in the American landscape. The stories and the game do not intersect except thematically. There are seven stories, ranging in length from three pages to nineteen, and they are all written by my brother, Jake Lehman. There is one role-playing game, and it is written by me, Ben Lehman. Although I am certain that someone will correct me within the next 24 hours, I believe that the Drifter's Escape is the first product of its type: a presentation of prose fiction and a role-playing game as thematic and equal elements of a book, with a strong unity of purpose but without the stories serving as examples of play or the game being a tribute to the story's canon.

Vendor: John Wick Presents
Type: Role Playing
Price: 22.75

 

Ambition. Lust. Revenge. You cannot have one without the others.
Thousands of years ago, the ven ruled the world. They were a passionate people, obsessed with Romance and Revenge, opera and theater, and all the forbidden delights their decadent culture provided. In the end, that which made them beautiful was also the key to their own destruction. Houses of the Blooded is a game about tragic obsession. Set in the fantastic world of ven myth and legend, players take the roles of powerful characters bent on conquering their world, destroying their enemies and possessing all they desire.
A game of romance. A game of revenge. A game of invisible wars and sorcerous blood. A game with no victors. Only casualties.
This is Houses of the Blooded: a roleplaying game in a violent world ruled by a magical race who call themselves 'the ven.' The ven see all the world as an enemy and the inhabitants of the world as either weapons or tools. Their culture is highly ritualistic and obsessed with duality.
Six noble Houses play an elaborate, invisible game of deception and betrayal. Forbidden by law from declaring open war, their secret wars allow for more subtle weapons: seduction, espionage and assassination.
With this game, you and your friends can tell stories of nobles engaged in these covert conflicts. You tell stories of adventure, exploration, romance, intrigue, loyalty and betrayal. All you need is this book, a handful of dice, some pencils and some friends. Get those together and we'll get started.

Vendor: Genesis of Legend
Type: Role Playing
Price: 12.00

There is only one true city; a place of multiversal trade, cultural exchange, and mixed blood. A place where monsters come to scheme and gods come to die.

Sig: The City Between is the nexus of the multiverse. It’s a city connected to everywhere, a refuge for the oppressed and a prize for tyrants. It’s a place where culture is at the forefront, with diverse faiths and tongues struggling for space in the crowded metropolis. It’s a city of families, both whole and broken.

Sig is also a launching point, allowing fools andheroes to venture into the eternal planes of existence. Each plane is made of concepts, of elements, or of ideals that resonate through the entire ‘verse. The planes impose their own Beliefs on Sig, and on the infinite primal worlds beyond.

Each of the planes is also home to unique peoples, from the Giants of the Elemental Plane of Stone to the Wyrms of the Ideological Plane of Destruction. The planes are home to mightyPowers; gods, demons, and stranger things which send their servitors to spread their faith into the City Between. The planes even offer resources to the bickering political Factions and warring guilds that control Sig’s hungry streets.

Visit the Elemental Plane of Flame to test yourself in scorched wastelands of the Crucible. Seek answers to hidden secrets in the Umbral Delta of the Conceptual Plane of Shadow. Defend yourself in The Final Court, where the Seven Magistrates provide final remedy to any injustice. ]]> Availability_Sold_out game_Indie game_S Other planescape publisher_Genesis of Legend reduced_40% weightXestimated https://amaansjunglebook.com/products/9436105418 Default Title 12.00 301 https://amaansjunglebook.com/products/9436107082 2024-06-06T17:47:31+01:00 2024-06-06T17:47:31+01:00 Laser Kittens - reduced Role Playing Glittercats Fine Amusements

A talking monkey with a magical bubble pipe who searches for the banana of gold.

You can tell all of these stories and many more when you play Abstract Dungeon. Abstract Dungeon is quick and simple roleplaying game built around a resource spending mechanic. It gives you control over whether and how your character overcome obstacles in your path. The question is not whether you make your roll, but whether you are willing to pay the price.

The biggest difference between Abstract Dungeon and other roleplaying games is that you roll your all your dice at the start or the adventure, then spend your dice to overcome challenges. You can always win, provided you are willing to spend the resources.

You then need to describe how you overcame the challenge based on the source of the die you spent. If you spend a die from your Toughness pool, it could represent anything from punching a goblin in the face to holding your liquor, while spending a die from Intellect could represent casting a spell or presenting a logical argument.

The Abstract Dungeon core rulebook contains everything you need to play including:

Vendor: Barak Blackburn
Type: Role Playing
Price: 5.50

Dance ‘Til Dawn is an immersive storytelling game.

 

We're going to listen to a playlist that has a beginning, a middle and a very definitive end. We're going to tell a story even as we're moved by the music. And, when the last song plays, this story is over. The end of this story is hinted at in the beginning, but the players will define how we get there, and how it comes to be.

 

Dance ‘Til Dawn is a game about listening.

We are going to listen to music together. The music may very well move us and organically, the flow of the narrative will change. This is the hope. Players may choose to narrate, or they may choose to listen to the music and let it fill this shared space.

We are going to listen to each other.

 

Narration is a shared responsibility. Players will narrate. Characters will succeed or fail as players see fit, there are no skill checks. But as the music plays, we always know that we are moving closer to the end. Together, we will explore the world.

 

Each song is a piece of art, with lyrics written perhaps for reasons deep and profound, music constructed in such a way to elicit a response. Listening to music can be a group activity: a car radio, a concert, buskers on a city street.


Let us listen together. Let us tell a story. Let music be our soundtrack.

Vendor: Rogue Games
Type: Role Playing
Price: 8.00

The American Revolution is over, and the colonies are now coming to terms with the aftermath. Creating a government is messy, but messier still is the call to expand the boarders of the young nation. As Americans moved out west for land, tensions between the natives and Americans reached an all time high in the region of the Old Northwest, part of which was to become the state of Ohio.
 
It was on a cold morning on November 4, 1791, when the U.S. Army met its’ greatest defeat. Now, three years later, efforts are underway to build a new fort on the site of St. Clair's Defeat. Much to the surprise to everyone, this is easier said than done. Numerous problems plague the construction, and rumors of the British spurring the Native Tribes in actions against the United States are spreading. With no one to spare, President Washington is looking for answers.
 
What no one knows is that the dead of Fort Recovery want their vengeance. Betrayed by the military, the soldiers were led to their death at the hands of a Indian uprising. In death, and unable to pass on, they now haunt the battlefield where they met their doom.
 
Set in the Northwestern Territories, The Defeated Dead is a new adventure designed for Colonial Gothic. Included are details of the Ohio Territories, as well as some of the most important forts located there.
 
So the question remains: can you bring peace to the dead?

BAD BETS, BAD DEBTS AND BAD DEATHS

You wake in a shallow grave in the desert. It’s night. You have no memory of how you got here, or who you are, or the location of your clothes. A scar of neon in the shape of a city squats on the horizon. There are answers there. And trouble.

ALAS VEGAS is a dark journey through a bizarre and terrifying casino city where everything has a cost. Caught in a war between the Rat Packers who run the place, the players must find allies, the truth, and a way to escape. Memories are recovered, secrets are revealed, old debts are settled, and nothing is what it seems.

Your character sheet starts as blank as your memories, but your character gains skills by having flashbacks to their previous life, so as the game progesses their backstory does too - and intertwines with other characters', and with events that happen in the game, creating a complex and twisted story.

The mechanics are based on the casino game Blackjack played with Tarot cards, creating high-tension showdowns, and spinning the game's narrative from the cards that come up in play. 

'Alas Vegas' itself lasts four sessions, structured like a high-budget HBO miniseries, leading to a revelatory final showdown. It’s Franz Kafka’s Fear and Loathing. It’s The Hangover meets The Prisoner. It’s Ocean’s Eleven directed by David Lynch. It’s like nothing you’ve played before.

PLUS THREE MORE CAMPAIGNS

ALAS VEGAS runs on the Fugue game system, built to tell stories of characters with amnesia. It uses Tarot cards and rotating GMs to create unique, high-tension adventures, heavy on character and narrative. The book contains ideas, background, and game-running advice by some of the finest RPG designers alive, and three extra Fugue campaigns:

  • YET ALREADY, frantic time-travel to save a chaotic, collapsing universe, written by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan;
  • WARLOCK KINGS, paladins returned to life as generals of a dark army, by Allen Varney and Johnstone Metzger;
  • REMEMBERING COSMIC MAN, in which you play two characters: one of a gang of superheroes whose leader has just been found dead, and one of the police investigating the crime, by Laurent Devernay and Jerome Larre.

Plus all the Fugue mechanics, of course.

PLUS A HOST OF STARS

ALAS VEGAS also contains articles by some of the finest games writers of the last two decades:

  • Kenneth Hite contributes a complete stand-alone story-game set in the blood-red heart of classic Vegas, 'Killing Bugsy Siegel';
  • Robin D. Laws tells you how to use tarot cards to create game narratives on the fly in 'Tarot-Jumping Other Games';
  • Mike Selinker adds a bizarre casino in which your characters can place bets on their own chances of success in the adventure; 
  • Matt Forbeck details the ins and outs of running gambling games in RPGs ;
  • Richard Dansky expands the Alas Vegas setting in 'Grifts, Scams and Making it';
  • John Scott Tynes serves up cocktails in 'The Guide To Drinking Heavily In Vegas';
  • Eye-popping interior art by World Fantasy Award-winner John Coulthart and Dennis Detwiller;
  • John Kovalic contributes an exclusive in-game comic strip!
  • And Sean Smith describes how to... but you have to let us keep a few secrets.

Vendor: Imagining Games
Type: Role Playing
Price: 16.50


Dreamchaser: A Game of Destiny is an immersive story building game where a game master guides players on a journey to achieve their dream. The players imagine a goal for their game—their story. They let that goal inspire them, imagining characters to play and experiences to have. Experiences they want to share. They live out that story wherever it takes them— a story of pursuing their dreams.

What are people saying about Dreamchaser?

“Dreamchaser is a roleplaying game done right. The system frees the game master to be a champion and fan of the characters and their stories.”

–Cris Frank, Director of Human Resources, We Hate Bards

“Dreamchaser undersells itself: the fine line it treads between letting the players write the story (not just parts, the story itself) while still being able to experience it authentically is something I haven’t seen before.”

–Jim Dagg, Game Designer

“I love the ease of learning the game, and how simple it is to set up! The game design assists your imagination, but never hinders it in any way. Pete has created my new go-to game!”

–Lindsey McCullough, Playtester

“Given my line of work, a game that promotes dreams, goals, and miracles is a must have in my collection.”

–Dr. Brian Quinones, LPC Child and Adolescent In-Home Mental Health Therapist

Dreamchaser features:
  • A Dream Mapping process that creates a goal oriented game of the players’ design in minutes and gives players a say in the story they want to experience.
  • A Vision Roll technique that helps players influence the Game Master’s plans for every game session while helping the Game Master prepare for immediate or future play.
  • Collaborative and interactive Character Creation that rewards creativity, spawns immersive characters, and sets them on a mutual goal.
  • Character Milestones break stories (campaigns) into short sessions like chapters in a book. Play them consecutively or fit them into busy adult lives.
  • Game Masters create any story characters or challenges they need in seconds so they can focus on engaging player characters and driving the story forward.
  • Flexible rules that empower players to create their own strategies for success and allow them to defeat challenges in any manner that fits the story they want to tell.
  • Dreamchaser is easy to relate to with a 1-10 scale. Every target number is on the character sheet. There are no modifiers, only rerolls. Each roll is designed to get the player into the character’s headspace and drive the story forward with an outcome that dictates meaningful success or failure.

      Vendor: Yaruki Zero Games
      Type: Role Playing
      Price: 8.00

      “Who’re you going to ask for a quote through their website? Wraithzappers!”

      Spooktacular is an updated retroclone of a forgotten gem of 1980s RPG design, letting you play out the hilarious adventures of paranormal investigators who use dodgy science, possibly dangerous bleeding-edge paratechnology, and sheer chutzpah to capture ghosts and make a living. In addition to all the rules you need to play this new take on an elegantly simple hidden classic of RPG design, this book includes:
      • Archetypes that give each character a nifty special ability, and optional Weird Archetypes so you can have an esper, witch, or other weirdo join the team.
      • A selection of wacky ghost-hunting gear. In addition to the basic etheric ray throwers and such, there are things like the Ghost Punchers (special gauntlets that do in fact let you punch ghosts) and Etheric Grenades (special grenades that blow ghosts up).
      • Three sample ghost-hunting companies (Wraithzappers, Ghost Rooter, and Phantom Finders) in various states of funding and legitimacy, as well as simple guidelines for making up your own company.
      • Short guides to ghost-hunting in the cities of Albuquerque, Wien, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.
      • Sample story ideas and a story generator table.
      • A selection of premade ghosts, ranging from the nagging Ancestor to the absurdly dangerous Ghostzilla.
      To play you'll need some pencils and paper, a bunch of six-sided dice (with at least one in a different color to be the Spooky Die), a few friends, and a few hours to play. Green novelty beverages are recommended but not required, especially since they haven't made them in a while now. ]]>       Availability_Sold_out game_Indie game_S Other genre_Horror Ghost-busters Ghostbusters publisher_Yaruki Zero Games reduced_30% weightXestimated https://amaansjunglebook.com/products/1293762986057 Default Title 8.00 160       https://amaansjunglebook.com/products/1313839644745 2024-06-06T17:44:51+01:00 2024-06-06T17:44:51+01:00 Forthright Open Roleplay: Home of Lost Hope - reduced Role Playing Room 209 Gaming

Guided by one of the several included adventures, you work together to spin a fabulous, original tale of high-octane cinematic road adventure! 

        Trouble For Hire is the new storytelling adventure game from Kevin Allen Jr, designer of the Diana Jones Award nominee Sweet Agatha. It is published by ndpdesign.

        • Give you guidelines for hacking and creating your own Roles, Adventures and other elements to make your games of Trouble For Hire unique! 
        • Is stuffed full of more juicy inspirational material to get you on the road to adventure than you can shake a stick at!

        Game Features

        • A no-prep, GMless game for 4-6 Players
        • 2-3 hours per adventure, a single-session movie-like scenario
        • Uses 2d6 and tokens (~30-40) to track RPM, the fuel of play.
        • High replayability - roles can change during the game, and the same adventure can be played multiple times with different sets of roles.
        • Easy to learn and suited to enabling players with different levels of familiarity with tabletop games to play together.
        • WARNING: Contains Violence, Swears and Action Smells (seriously, this game does include descriptions of graphic violence, though how much ends up in your games is up to you!)

        A Story Game of Gunslingers, Samurai, Gangsters, Barbarians, and Steampunk in a Post-Apocalyptic World with Superpowers

        We were once a beautiful world, young and fertile. Nothing but hope and opportunity lay before us. We were the chosen ones of our creators and lived a lavish lifestyle. Until the All-Father revealed his jealousy at the love his children gave to their creation and not him. His wrath nearly wiped us out. Now we are the enslaved and oppressed living in the Five Cities or risking it all in the Wastes.

        But there are some who call no place home. They wander between all places and live by their own rules. Will any of them rise up to become the mysterious heroes we need?

        The High Plains Samurai Roleplaying Game is a tabletop story game about gunslingers, barbarians, samurai, gangsters and steampunk in a post-apocalyptic world of super powers. Everything you need to take on the mantle of Writers and Directors telling the first draft of an original story in the One Land. A story that may one day save these people from oblivion.

        Built using the ScreenPlay engine, HPS is a collaborative story game with all players taking an equal role in the storytelling process. Players take on the role of Writers working with the Director to draft complete stories of action, suspense, horror, and survival. Through their lead characters, Writers actively drive the story and create epic action sequences as the central storytellers; the Director reacts to their descriptions while simultaneously challenging their characters along the way. For every description moving the story forward, another player will deliver its outcome to push it further, react to events, and embellish details with camera angles, special effects, even a character's demise. 

        In a world where everything is possible, dice rolls are not used to attempt success or failure, but as complications against your enemies... and death is the ultimate complication. Characters roll dice based on the number of details built into their descriptions against an opponent's Defence for the right to choose their enemy's fate or perhaps allow the enemy to choose their own. Each complication becomes incorporated into the story and can also be countered or removed by spending Vitality until there is none left to give or the battle is over. 

        With the HPS core rulebook, you get...

        • Complete rules for playing the High Plains Samurai Roleplaying Game

        • Create original characters of every type, from leads to extras 

        • Build and expand on the Five Cities and the Wastes

        • Apply character roles to give your character a code of honour

        • Gain new perks from your homeland to help define your character's background

        • Explore the history of Chaos' Wrath and its aftermath

        • Discover the key initiatives for the One Land & meet its major characters, including every warlord and Black Scorpion

        • An advice chapter for all players, Directors and Writers alike

        • Tips on playing evil characters seeking to destroy the One Land

        Together, you will create tales of heroic struggle against the machinations of the mysterious bandit known as Black Scorpion and her bloody plot for revenge that threatens the return of Chaos incarnate.
