Gimmick Zero!

Gimmick Zero is a upcoming roleplaying game with highly customizable world building rules and gameplay modes! Dive into a sci-fi world filled with evil corporations, strange creatures, and techno-punk robots!

Our world is on the brink of disaster. The Zero Event caused alien creatures to puncture the walls of our reality, invading our planet, and turning cities into bloodbaths. To hold back the horde, corporations have developed massive war robots known as ‘Gimmicks’. These machines are are able to hunt and destroy these hordes without human causalities.

However, these Gimmicks occasionally malfunction, becoming controlled by the very things they were made to destroy. When these mechs are turned against humanity, only Weapons, a group of human mercenaries, are able to go out into the wastes and make repairs. But along the way, they will need to face off against these dangerous abberations, rogue machines, and maybe even each other…

The players and Game Master begin the game by rolling dice over a series of tables to help determine the rules of your world. You will be able to roll for the types of monsters you may encounter, different Gimmick corporations, and for what cataclysmic event that changed your world forever. From there, Game Masters will be able to craft the story start to finish.

Once you have your world, players will be able to build their characters. Each player will take on the role of a Weapon, protected with Nano Armor tech, gifted with as many guns and blades as they can handle. Each character has access to multiple different character classes, each with their own unique ability. As you level up, you will be able to invent your own abilities for your character instead of relying on the book. Give yourself access to jetpacks, mech riding abilities, and more!

Gimmick Zero comes out in August, 2023! Back your copy here!

Get your friends together to tell a story filled with espionage, gun smoke, and adrenaline, in the style of John Wick, James Bond, or Kingsmen!

Each player will be able to build a character around action hero Roles and Tropes that will help determine your class and abilities. Choose from The Ace, The Agent, The Brain, The Charmer, The Commando, The Criminal, The Fighter, The Nobody, The Sleuth, or The Spy. Each of these Roles have their own subclasses and unique actions to help your party survive another day!

For Directors (Game Masters), gain access to whole collection of potential enemies, grunts and leaders alike, along with unique perils to throw at your players. If that isn’t enough, then check out the in book adventure to get your game off the ground!

This game is powered with the Director’s Cut game engine. Players will need to gather up all their d6s, determine how many they need for their ability check, then roll! But this system is not about how high a number you roll – instead, it is all about finding pairs of numbers within the dice rolled. The higher the number of matching sets of dice, the higher the success!

Knave: Second Edition!

Knave: Second Edition is a headfirst dive into an Old School DnD inspired game and toolkit! Dive into a world filled with deadly monsters, dangerous caverns, and miraculous items to get your hands on. Don your armor, gather your weapons, and step into a world of horrors unknown!

Knave uses a brand new set of game mechanics for both players and game masters. Character generation and gameplay are all unified under one d20 system, which makes building your character and running the game a breeze. The new tactical warfare rules will allow you to perform daring feats of bravery and foolishness as you plunge your blades into dangers beyond comprehension.

Players will find a game that is easy to start and fun to master. Tap into all areas of gameplay with each character, allowing all players to get some proficiency with weapons, armor, magic, and divine influence. The important part will be deciding where you want your character to go, imposing self-restrictions instead of game imposed ones. But beware – your inventories will need to be tracked! Use the simple inventory slot track to help ensure you choose the best of the best items to keep on you. Either fill your pack with special magic items, or keep a load of practical items on you to help guide the party.

Game Masters will have so many dangers and delights to throw at players. Explore the vast swath of monsters and enemies for your players to hunt down, each with their own unique abilities. Once your players have vanquished these monsters, they will be able to brew powerful potions from the monster parts to gain special abilities themselves.

If it’s danger your looking to add, then check out the dozens of d100 tables to add some challenge. If that isn’t enough, then check out the d6 Hazard Die system, allowing you to create dangerous encounters with just the roll of a die!

To keep magic and divine influence interesting, dive into the relationship-driven divine magic system, and the utility based arcane magic system. Dive into your players relationships with the Gods, your world, and manipulate the laws of nature itself in order to create amazing moments that your players will talk about for years to come.

Knave: Second Edition comes out in December, 2023! Back your copy here!

RŌNIN!

RŌNIN is a upcoming RPG that is compatible with MÖRK BORG! Take on creatures of the night as you explore the fantasy island of Kage no Shima, face off against enemy factions, and bring peace to this warring nation.

Kage no Shima is an island choked with blood. Numerous factions are at war, leaving corpses all across the region. But the line between life and death has been entangled ever since the sun in the sky was fully eclipsed. Now, a shadow has been cast across the world, creating an endless night.

Dangerous men are not the only thing to fear. Demons and undead wander the land, consuming the dead and dying, or assaulting the last remaining strongholds of humanity. Those who are foolish and brave enough to face them head on are our last remaining hope. Will you take up the challenge?

Players will be able to dive blade first into six new classes of their choosing – Erudite Samurai, Forgotten Rōnin, Drunken Monk, Corrupted Shinobi, Onmyoji (Hermit Spell-caster), and Bakuto (Yakuza). Each of these incredible classes will have their own abilities and tenets to help on your roleplaying path.

Game Masters will get access to numerous tables, monsters, and unique weapons to throw at their players.

Would it really be a MÖRK BORG compatible book without dozens of tables?

Also present with every MÖRK BORG inspired work – the art! Explore the beautiful and savage works within the book, pulling every ounce of inspiration you can from its beautiful pieces.

BREAK!!

BREAK!! is an upcoming animation inspired TTRPG. Explore a post-apocalyptic world inspired by some of the greatest video games and anime of all time, including The Legend of Zelda and Berserk!

The Outer World is a beautiful and deadly place. In the times before, people built massive cities composed of steel and stone, using incredible magic and technologies to become a superpower. They built incredible machines, performed magical wonders, and created a world filled with hope.

But that world is long dead. New societies have been rebuilt themselves all across the world, but the gravestones of the old world still linger. Colossal war machines are left scattered in pieces across the countryside. Magical corruption spreads like a contagion through fields and forests, eating away at the natural world. But most haunting – the Sun Machine has been damaged. This celestial creation once bathed the whole world in light. Now, it casts a large shadow across half of the land, cloaking it in eternal darkness.

With all of these dangers, there are few who are willing to run out into wilds to discover the truth of what happened to this long forgotten world. Endless dangers wander the world, whether it be man, monster, or machine. Are you willing to take the plunge into the world unknown?

For players, there are eight different class options that you can investigate to find your perfect set of abilities. Pair that up with the eleven different species to explore, and there are endless character generating possibilities! Whether you choose to play as a Raider or a Factotum, there are endless ways to play and customize your character.

For Game Masters, dive into the expansive lore, monsters, and magic items to throw out to your party. Learn more about the numerous islands and nations across the Outer World, and how they all span the four regions: the Wistful Dark, the Twilight Meridian, the Blazing Garden, and the Buried Kingdom! Throw your players into your favourite one and create a campaign that Studio Ghibli could only dream of!

BREAK!! comes out in November, 2023! Back your copy here!

Werewolf: The Apocalypse!

Werewolf: The Apocalypse is making its return! Become a Garou, a werewolf who defends the will of Gaia from corruption, both physical and meta-physical. Take down corporations that pump toxic waste into our habitats, fight head on with dangerous paramilitary groups, and save our planet one rending claw at a time.

Gaia is dying. After years of fighting a secret war against men and monsters alike, the Apocalypse has come. Those who once thought salvation was possible are now lost, left without hope. Others have fully embraced their darker instincts, killing without hesitancy or compassion. The world is coming to and end… but new Garou still have something to fight for. The only question is – when will you Rage?

What werewolf will you create for your game table? Each werewolf tribe consists of their own culture, patron spirit, and renown. Perhaps you will want to become a member of the Black Furies, ready to dismantle and destroy this broken world to create something beautiful in its stead. Maybe you are a Glasswalker, dedicated to using technology to heal the world. With eleven tribes to choose from, there will certainly be one to strike your wolfish fancy.

Next, determine your characters attitude and style with the help of Auspices. When you changed for the first time, what form of the moon was in the sky? Was it the Ragabash (New Moon), filling you with trickster delights? Or was the Ahroun (Full Moon) high in the sky, driving you to attack, destroy, and embrace carnage? Use the five different Auspices to help inform your actions and reactions throughout the game.

Once your werewolf is complete, the hunt begins. Remember: only when Gaia is safe will you rest easy. If you can finally defeat these corrupt industrialists, colonizers, and worst of all, vampires, the world may just be saved.

Werewolf: The Apocalypse comes out on August 31st, 2023! Pre-order your copy here!

The Walking Dead Universe Roleplaying Game!

The Walking Dead Universe Roleplaying Game is the newest RPG coming out from Free League! Survive in a unforgiving world filled with moral choices, brutal combat, and vicious undead. Gather supplies, explore long abandoned cities, and destroy hordes of the living dead… and hope they stay down this time.

The Wildfire Virus has spread all around the world, leaving no stone, or corpse, unturned. The last vestiges of humanity fight day by day to survive, scattered across the globe in search of any sign of peace. Those who have lasted this long have gotten by on their wits, instincts, and brutality. The only thing that matters is staying alive, no matter what moral cost.

Things have fallen apart – but could working together rebuild some of what was lost? Could humanity create a new and beautiful future? That much is up to you.

As with other games created by Free League, this game runs on the Year Zero Engine. Roll a number of d6s equal to your Attribute and Skill, and determine successes by the number of sixes you roll. If you score multiple successes, then use those additional wins to activate powerful abilities. If you are in a dire situation and fail your check, you can Push a roll to get a second chance. But be warned – if you fail again, things will get much, much worse.
