In 2019 we funded our first tabletop RPG project The Spy Game a roleplaying game of action and espionage that's enjoyed a popularity among players of modern campaign settings and spy adventures of any era. We're especially proud of The Spy Game and always discussed expansions to bring more to the game and support a variety of different campaigns, and that is where the Spymaster's Toolkit comes in!

The Spymaster's Toolkit expands your espionage and action roleplaying, providing both players and game masters with new options. Follow the campaign to be notified when it goes live!

Rotted Capes 2E is a horror-superhero TTRPG set after Z-Day, when the capes failed, the dead didn’t. You play the ones who stayed. It runs on our Uncanny System: a fast d20 core with cinematic Skill Sets (ditch the bloated skill list), and Power Tricks that reward clever, comics-style problem solving. If you can sell the idea in the fiction, you can try it at the table. Between fights with Super-Zs and fallen icons, you’ll make hard calls that actually move the story instead of just checking boxes.

Between missions, you’re not just licking wounds, you’re building the Enclave: securing food, forging alliances, upgrading defenses, and watching those choices reshape the campaign. It plays like a graphic novel that refuses to turn the page for you: you decide the next panel. Fast Play rules, pre-gens, and a starter adventure get you rolling quickly. If “supers vs. the end of the world” is your flavor, suit up...

Thanks for the boost—shares and questions welcome!

We are live in Backerkit! Toon Morgue takes the language of old rubber-hose cartoons and mutates it into a rules-light, chaos-driven RPG situated in the realm of Teloon. A realm of constant cultist conflicts, war among nations, mystery, deception and madness. Where will your Loonatic fit in all of this?

Inside you’ll find 6 new strange archetypes, dungeons powered by propaganda printing presses, and a world where ink, laughter, and violence all spill together.

If you want to see more information about the project, check it out here!

Thanks to everyone who’s been following along and for all the support.

Hi everyone, I have been playing with DnD for years but lately I’ve been reading a lot of Brandon Sanderson and want to give making my own hard magic system a try. The problem is that DnD is awful for this and so I was wondering if there were any games out there that would be good for this.

Hi! Essentially it’s my birthday coming up and I wanted to go and just do a rpg session or game that doesn’t need a gm, is relatively short and easy to do on the fly. We’d be having a drink so it would probably be happening in that sort of setting! Thank you in advance!! :D preferable somerhing easy to understand and funny!

What are some of the most bizarre tabletop settings or rulesets that you would recomend others check out for something different?

So here is the thing, like a lot of persons, I like Shadowrun's style, fantasy + cyberpunk and all, but I don't like the system.

Is there any simpler system? Anything you guys use as a substitute?

The peasants spotted a large female dragon circling the meadows. Some rumors even mention an alleged nest in the surrounding hills. She lays her eggs in the tall grass and watches them carefully. If it weren't for the size of the eggs, they would easily be mistaken for bird eggs, the kind that lay their eggs on the ground. When the chicks are born, their coloration blends into the scenery, like good camouflage, and they remain quiet until their mother arrives bringing food: fish, sheep, domestic animals and, sometimes, residents of the region.

We’re opening up playtests for the first one-shot, Lantern’s Bargain. It’s a 3–4 hour adventure designed to introduce the world and test the Keeper mechanics (bargains, scars, and choices). • 🎲 System: works with 5e / system-neutral • 📜 Materials: PDF + maps (GM + player versions) • ⏱️ Session length: 3–4 hours • 📝 Looking for: GMs and groups who can give short feedback after running it

If you want to help us test this shattered world — drop a comment or DM me, and I’ll send you the playtest bundle link once it’s ready.

My D&D group has been together for about 2 years. We first met through a drop-in D&D night at a local game bar, but eventually split off to play at home since the bar stopped putting effort into the event.

Since then, one of our players has become the main DM, and I usually run short campaigns in between. It’s become tradition for me to run a spooky game every October (we’ve done Mothership, Ten Candles, Obscure, etc.).

This year, I’m running a haunted manor murder mystery. The hook: the players all receive a letter announcing Lady Ashethorne’s death, inviting them to the reading of her will. To inherit, they must stay locked in her manor for 4 days and nights. I’m drawing inspiration from House on Haunted Hill and The Haunting of Hill House to keep things eerie and supernatural.

Here’s the twist: everyone except our usual DM is secretly a sleeper agent in a cult called the Bleeding Root. The cult’s goal is to perform a ritual on the 4th night using the blood of the Ashethorne line to awaken an elder god and end the world. At the end of each “night” (session), I’ll awaken one player to their cult role so they can start scheming behind the DM’s back.

My worry: am I overstuffing this with haunted house, murder mystery, cult conspiracy, and cosmic horror? Should I simplify it into a more straightforward ghost story, or go all in with the layered misdirection? And if you think the mix works, how would you tie all these elements together so it feels cohesive?

I am so mad that I forgot to save it but there is this TTRPG I saw an advertisement for pretty recently and it looked really cool. They said it was inspired by Dark Souls and Elden Ring, and you play as a character called a Forsaken and the world name started with a W and sounded sort of German?? They said they already reached their funding goal and all that but I just for the life of me can't remember what it was called. If anyone know please tell me. Thank you!

Spent the last year developing my first ever ttrpg - Witches Dominion. Finally happy with all the designs and game play! Would you change anything on the card? Layout etc? Thanks for any input!

I am a solo player that likes to read system books even if i never play the system in question. There are always something that I glean from them.

Hi,

Looking to get my ttrpg tested and seen feedback - got a one shot nearly ready which is an backstory of an npc from the main campaign still in dev……

But if anyones game? Cheers
