_____________________________________

In the kingdom of Wessex lay the peaceful town of Keldara. This serene haven, once a vibrant place of trade and camaraderie, now groaned under the iron-fisted rule of the vengeful wizard Azru-Kai. His intent as dark as his sorcery, Azru-Kai had descended upon Keldara with a fury, driven by a vendetta against the liege-lord of Keldara and his faithful mercenaries who had thwarted his ambitions. The streets of Keldara, once filled with laughter and song, now echoed with the cries of the enslaved and the crack of the wizard's whip. Among the oppressed was Asahel, a former mercenary captain and the sole survivor of Azru-Kai's wrath. Stripped of his comrades and freedom, Asahel languished in a makeshift prison, his heart heavy with the weight of his fallen brethren. Yet within him, a flicker of resistance sparked, ready to forge a rebellion from the courage and resolve of the townsfolk, to overthrow the tyrant and reclaim their stolen freedom.

Every Game Master has dreamed of running a session without spending hours on preparation, right? That's exactly what this scenario offers! Designed to fit any game system, it promises unforgettable adventures for both novice and experienced players. 

Synopsis:

Curiosity is a nasty flaw, but it sometimes leads to stories beyond comprehension. This is what players discover after listening to the rumors circulating about an abandoned building where unclear events occur. After exploring the place, players seem to have uncovered the truth: it’s just a simple squat, and it is enough to stay away from it to avoid problems. But the damage is done, on the way back, they are attacked by mercenaries and notice that a child has sneaked into their car.

After calming her down, players learn that she has escaped from a research lab where she was held. But it doesn’t end there, as they are quickly contacted by Lina Beine, the girl’s mother, Petunia, who explains the situation: the latter is the host of numerous nanorobots capable of eliminating any drug addiction. The woman asks players to protect her daughter and to stop the actions of this laboratory by any means necessary.

But the group discovers that nothing is ever black or white when they realize that this mother is not so innocent in this whole story. The fate of this little girl is in their hands.

Synopsis :

La curiosité est un vilain défaut, mais elle permet parfois d’être embarquées dans des histoires qui dépassent l’entendement. C’est ce que les joueurs découvrent après avoir écouté les rumeurs qui circulent sur un immeuble abandonné où des évènements peu clairs se produisent. Après avoir exploré l’endroit, les joueurs semblent avoir découvert la vérité : il s’agit d’un simple squat et il suffit de ne pas s’en approcher pour ne pas attirer les problèmes. Mais le mal était fait, sur la route du retour, ils se font attaquer par des mercenaires et remarquent qu’une enfant s’est introduite dans leur voiture.

Après l’avoir rassurée, les joueurs apprennent qu’elle s’est enfuie d’un laboratoire de recherche où elle était détenue. Mais cela ne s’arrête pas là, puisqu’ils sont rapidement contactés par Lina Beine, la mère de la fille, Pétunia, qui leur explique la situation : cette dernière est l’hôte de nombreux nanorobots capables de supprimer n’importe quelle addiction à la drogue. La femme demande aux joueurs de protéger sa fille et de mettre fin aux agissements de ce laboratoire, par tous les moyens.

Mais le groupe découvre que rien n’est jamais tout blanc ni tout noir quand ils se rendent compte que cette mère n’est pas si innocente dans toute cette histoire. Le destin de cette petite fille est entre leurs mains.

This year there will be no encore ...

Investigators are enjoying a show during the Festival when the finale proves to be much more horrifying -- and more final -- than anyone expected.

Soon they find themselves uncovering the details of a plot being enacted in and around the packed venues and streets of Scotland's capital city -- a plot that could end in the most tragic and terrifying way imaginable.

Stalwart Team Up is two things in one no matter how you look at it! It is a prose adaptation of a comic book that doesn't exist - along with the solo RPG adventure that goes with it. This adds to and expands the world of Stalwart: The World's Niftiest Superhero RPG, introducing new characters while enriching and expanding the setting materials presented in the World of Stalwart and the Guide to Meridian. This resource includes new mechanics to enhance the solo play experience with role playing and character building elements.

In this introductory issue, Tipo Orro enters the ranks of earth's superheroes, joining Doc Stalwart on a two-fisted adventure. 

In the wake of a cataclysmic war between Heaven and Hell, Earth has been transformed into a desolate expanse of shattered dreams and unrelenting darkness. The sky, forever scarred by celestial and infernal conflict, casts an eerie pall over the remnants of civilization. The landscape is a grotesque symphony of ruin, where ancient fears and newfound horrors coexist in a fragile dance of survival.

Oblivion’s Cry invites you to journey through this ravaged world as a lone survivor, grappling with the aftermath of cosmic warfare. The rules of this solo journaling game guide you through the wreckage, as you document your encounters, confront insidious threats, and uncover fleeting glimpses of hope amidst the pervasive despair.

With only a journal, a deck of cards, and a six-sided die as your companions, you’ll navigate the chaos of a world undone. Draw cards to reveal eerie encounters and dire challenges, and roll the die to uncover the haunting reality of each night. Your choices shape the remnants of civilization and your own path through the shattered remnants of humanity.

Will you forge a path through the darkness, uncovering the hidden truths that lie buried beneath the ruins? Or will the relentless forces of Heaven and Hell consume you in their destructive dance, leaving you as another forgotten whisper in the void?

The year is 2397.

Lightyears away from the blossoming Cosmic East, the sea of stars has become a battlefield to a silent civil war, seeded and spurred on by galactic superpowers. The prize? The allegiance of the Sovereignty of Sirius, the richest among the Inner Colonies.

A gem of the void, contested by greed and zeal.

Ruled by a theocratic order of ancient design, the Sovereignty of Sirius stands at an impasse, the divide between its lower and upper castes reaching its widest point in centuries.
A specter of dissent creeps among the populace, and it bears the flag of the "Naxalites" - a militant collectivist movement aligned with the Sovereignty's lifelong enemy: the monolithic Terran Protectorate.

Operation "CORNERSTONE" is a go.

Weaponizing the mounting dissatisfaction of rebellious elements across all castes, a concerted effort to supply and direct them has manifested itself into voidborne terror attacks - deadly ambushes in which the lines between friends and foes are shattered to the tune of EM pulses. Incidents in which desperate pleas, panicked lies and misplaced shots score the whittling down of a bicentennial regime.

In the shadows of stars, no one can hear you scheme.

Sirius: Treacherous Reaches is a 5-to-10-player social deduction/space combat game inspired by Werewolf, Secret Hitler, Battleship and Highfleet - applying the scheming and dramatics of social deduction games to a grid-based, space combat scenario in which each player helms their own vessel, and votes are cast by firing its weapons directly onto the grid square of a presumed traitor.

Featuring six Castes, each with their own particular Ships and Abilities, players will find themselves split between loyal Citizenry and rebellious Naxalites: the former trying to smoke out the latter before they can be outnumbered - in a battle of trust, cunning and wild hunches that will test friendships both in and out of the game.

The game includes full assets for both tabletop and online play, to include a deck of 16 Ship Cards, four sets of marker tokens (Coordinates, Allegiance, Attack), a two-sheet playfield and an interactive Command Sheet.

Fill up your air tanks and pray you can survive these Treacherous Reaches.
