Dungeon Squad is a role-playing game designed expressly for young players with short attention spans who demand action and fun. There is a lot of die rolling and some amusing shopping and number-crunching. Characters can be generated in 3 seconds.

Bloodworks is a generic RPG designed to create conflicted characters for a variety of genres. Though generic, Bloodworks is designed to be flavorful and to provide a character a constant threat–his own “dark side.”

Vitally, there are two parts to each character: his Face and his Bane. A character’s Face is what is usually seen in the game; it’s every part of the character that he has worked on or picked up, his skills, occupation, and niche. A character’s Bane is the part of him that tries to hold him back.

Each character occupies a distinct niche in the game, his/her Title. A Title implies something about the character; it should explain some of what he can do and his background. A good Title would be The Runaway Girl. The Title tells us what we need to know–the biggest factor in her background and perhaps some of her skills. It’s slightly binding, but not too much. A poor Title would be The Fighter. “Fighter” is too general to be effective; a better Title would be The Barroom Brawler, The Jaded Gunman, or The Alleyway Knifer.

High flying Kung-Fu antics, and everything one would expect from a bad Wuxia movie. only 11 pages, and a little rough around the edges, but it should be a fun play. Combat is fast and furious

Fabula Altisonis: an Audio RPG- a pen and paper RPG presented in a Audio Book format. It’s accompanied by a “reader,” a hardcopy reference guide with info and clarifications, and the setting. The Entire 15 files (14 mp3s, 1 pdf) RARed together is around 8.75 megs.

A game of social viciousness and revelation for 4-8 mature players. The setting is a dinner party in November 1974 – the players act out their characters Hangups while playing spiteful conversational games and getting progressively more drunk. Can you gain enough courage to face your Issue, or will you collapse in the downstairs lavatory or get thrown out of the party? Uses six-sided dice for resolution, the rules are simple but the tactics are deep. Like a Harold Pinter play, but with less pauses!

You and one other player take on the role of Agent Patriot and West Berlin native and insect expert, Lukas von Mises, as you attempt to thwart a demon who is set on stopping the Berlin Airlift! In this fast-paced parody of the old pulps, it’s not about the destination — everyone knows Agent Patriot will win — but how you get there.

In the classical period of Greece, some say it was gods who vied for power, some say it was kings. But no matter how passionately they argue about gods and men, they all agree on the means to power:

Blood and Bronze.

Blood and Bronze is a role-playing game set in the classical period of Greek supremacy. When each city was a kingdom, each with its patron god or goddess, and each desiring what their neighbor had.

Players each take on the role of one of these cities and work to have their city reign unchallenged.

A game of rebellion for two players

This game was thematically inspired by the French Revolution; specifically, the period after the revolution, when the noble agenda of the revolutionaries devolved into that which they hated in the first place. This game is about some kind of rebellion and its aftermath.

The Gentlemen’s Entomology Club is a roleplaying game of wine-drinking, boasting, beetles and some incidental rationalist philosophy. You take the role of an aging eighteenth century entomologist attempting to impress his peers with tales of adventures seeking bizarre insects in far-flung corners of the world. Your objective is to tell the most diverting stories of the evening.

The RPG of 1776 America. You are all the signers of the Declaration of Independence, about to carve out a new republic as you debate over wine at the house of a revolutionary. We recommend you drink while playing this game in order to get in kinship with your character. Purely for roleplaying purposes.
