Does anyone have any recommendations for pre-written scenarios of investigating crimes with no (or little) supernatural elements? Serial killers and bank heists get a lot of movie coverage but RPGs don’t tend to do much true crime. I can’t recall any that have pre-written scenarios along those...

So, this is a thing, I guess. https://www.backerkit.com/call_to_action/a2c22003-d87b-4090-b03e-5ac5a8953d2d/landing

Looks like the Kickstarter for Alice is Missing: Silent Falls starts on 14 February. I am quite looking forward to this as though I have enjoyed every play I have had of the base game, its relatively constricted in terms of options. Doubling the cards will have an exponential impact on...

The KS page is here. I am a bit shocked that we are getting a third season for this game, but its the one KS that I have played all of the content I have for it, so its going to be hard to resist backing. Plus they have the big purple guy in this season.

I recently picked up a copy of Konosuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! TRPG. This is a Japanese RPG by F.E.A.R. who is Japan's largest RPG publisher that has been translated in English. I did not know much about Konosuba before looking into the RPG. In essence, its an Isekai anime...

Godsend Agenda KS incoming. This is the 3rd RPG to use the Omega System. The other two being Hellas and Atlantis. There has been a beta up of the rules for a while now: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/305357/GODSEND-Agenda-3-Beta-Test KS reminder: Summary from the creator:

A new Brancalonia KS campaign is incoming. This could looks like a campaign, though there has also been talk of a setting book as well. Brancalonia was my top 2 pick of RPGs released this year and it also won 4 ENnies. It’s a spaghetti fantasy setting with a rules overlay for 5e inspired by...

OK, it hasn't quite go to $1m yet, but its made $875k in around 9 hours so I am sure it will hit that mark by 24 hours in. That's an impressive achievement for a tabletop RPG. In comparison, the One Ring based on Lord of the Rings IP and a well regarded 1st edition made around half of that. I...

There is a second RPG from Free League Workshop up on KS. Free League Workshop is where an independent designer publishes an RPG through Free League. The first RPG was Mork Borg. Death in Space seems to have a lot in common with Mork Borg. Its has a strong artistic design, OSR ruleset, musical...

The next (3rd) expansion for Root is out with two new factions and a new mechanic - hirelings. Hirelings are like mini-automated factions that are great for low player counts and also adding a comeback mechanic.

There are many threads devoted which edition is better, when to switch editions etc. However, what RPGs (if any) do you actively a fans of more than 1 edition at the same time? This doesn't include reimplementations or RPGs that use the ruleset of another for a new setting or genre. My primary...

Alien made into the number 5 spot in ICv2’s top 5 RPGs of last quarter. It’s an impressive book for a difficult licence. It bodes well for what may be achieved when FL release The One Ring RPG, especially with the TV show on the horizon. Add to that Tales from the Loop hitting next month too...

Zoinks! I can’t imagine a better match up :)

Fria Ligan showing themselves as a class act with a new newbie friendly website and starter set up to coincide with the show starting on Prime. So many RPG companies with licenced IP RPGs fail to time their releases like this even though it is a powerful thing to do. I really hope the RPG sells...

Monolith try their hardest to make this KS as difficult as possible to understand but the essence is that they are KS a new skirmish game using the Conan system and existing minis across all their lines. The KS starts on 6 Jan and runs only 7 days. There is also a campaign book and box of the...

I am not interested in war games generally, but the youtube videos I have watched actually make it seem like a lot of fun. I particularly like the reactive lines of fire and the opposed rolls, as it seems to give the whole game a more modern warfare vibe. Would be interested to hear from an...
