Villainous Champions of the Shadow Keep!

Heroes? Who needs them? Villainous Champions of the Shadow Keep is a new campaign setting for D&D 5e, letting you play as the villain of your world! Choose one of the numerous monstrous character options, build your lair, and destroy heroes where you see fit!

Players can get their start in this new campaign guide by exploring the new villainous options! Choose from a variety of new monstrous races and class archetypes, such as the Two-Headed Ogre, which uses two-players to play and control.

Once you have your character built, it is time to build your home. Decide your lair location, whether it be out in a frozen cave or in someone’s abandoned basement. Take time to build clever traps throughout the space that only you know about, and recruit minions to follow your every command. Once you have everything in place, you can send out notices for heroic adventurers to test the dangers of your vile den. Just make sure they don’t get out alive so they can tell their friends all your secrets…

Even though you may crave random bloodshed, remember the most important rule of villainy – evil without a plan is only chaos. It is time to form alliances, pillage powerful arcane artifacts, and cull the land of any heroes that may get in your way. Ascend your dark throne, one corpse at a time, and become a monster worth fearing.

Villainous Champions of the Shadow Keep comes out on December, 2023! Back your copy here!

The Tasty Lands of Silverplate

Silverplate is a land of wonder and scrumptious delights. The peoples of Silverplate are born of milk, eggs, meat, and cheese. But that doesn’t stop them from become heroes of legend. Their powerful gods, such as The Baker and The Cook, are in eternal war with The Greater Eater, a being of infinite destruction.

Will you be able to keep your world safe? Or will you be thrown out with the rest of the leftovers?

Players will be able to choose brand new race and archetype options to fully explore their tasty world. Customize your food origin, then dive into one of twelve new class archetypes, such as the Path of the Sugar Rush Barbarian, or the Oath of Taste Paladin! Finally, choose some new thematic feats and backgrounds, such as Leftover and Pickled, that will give you special abilities in the days to come!

For DMs, prepare yourself for a enclave of new monsters, mechanics, and magic items! There are a total of sixty new monsters for you to explore, each more deadly and delicious than the last. Utilize new game mechanics and conditions to help keep the game on theme, and throw around some powerful new magic items that will leave your players drooling for more!

Blight of the Green Witch: And Other Adventures

Need some adventures to try out in this wacky world? Then make sure to pick up the adventure guide, Blight of the Green Witch: And Other Adventures! This guide has four adventures for your players to hop, skip, and jump through, each more tasty than the last.

  • In Blight of the Green Witch, our delectable adventurers will face off against a power witch who holds command over mysterious mold magic. Will our adventurers defeat this witch’s sinister plot? Or will they become moldy leftovers?
  • In Maze of the Pumpking, the town of Cuphold has fallen into the hands of the terrifying Pumpking! Use all of your powers and wits to sneak inside and save the town from ruin!
  • In Wisdom of the Ancient, players will face off against an ancient fire elemental, awakened by greedy treasure hunters. The vengeful spirit will stop at nothing to get its revenge on the small town of Vrotmarsh… unless you do something about it.

Paranoia – The Perfect Edition!

All hail the great Computer! It’s time to run and gun your way into total madness with Paranoia – Perfect Edition! Face off against robots, secret society traitors, and other malicious actors working against The Computer! Just don’t get caught trying to destroy The Computer yourself…

In this game of endless death and betrayal, all you can trust are your cycle of clones and your laser pistol… and even the clones can be suspect sometimes. Work alongside your fellow Troubleshooters as you face off against anyone trying to destroy the super powerful A.I. known as The Computer.

The prime targets of The Computers’ wrath are those with mutant powers or those who are part of any illegal secret society within the Alpha Complex.

The only trouble is: you have a mutant power and you are part of a secret society.

Let’s be clear – this game is not your usual RPG. The Computer (Game Master) will lie and cheat your characters whenever they deem fit. You will be faced with every kind of evil imaginable, and you will die over and over again. So why not make it fun while it lasts? Lean into the wild and whacky world of the Alpha Complex, use every power available to you, and maybe, just maybe, you may find a way to end The Computer’s reign forever…

Probably not though.

Want more than just a simple core rulebook? Then check out the Accomplice Book, filled with alternative rules and lore to fit into any game. Learn about secret societies from past editions, get modified combat rules, new Troubleshooter equipment, and more!

Paranoia – Perfect Edition comes out June 2023! Back your copy here!

Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme!

It is time to hit the books, adventurers! While you have been playing your silly roleplaying games, the creators at Exalted Funeral have been putting together a comprehensive history of Medieval England. Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme is by no means a brand new RPG coming out next year that will allow you to design and play games centred around comedic worlds of Monty Python. You do not need to know the Monty Python catalogue to be able to jump in, just a willingness to get involved in strange and hilarious shenanigans!

What should one expect reading this comprehensive history? Well, what you certainly should not expect is a rules-lite game system that will throw you head first into pre-designed adventures. You will certainly not be given an expansive character creation system, including classes such as: The Hermit, The Monarch, The Knight, The Ne’erdowell, and more!

Unlike other RPGs (unlike this book, which is just a simple history textbook), the Heads of Light Entertainment (The Game Master) will have to act as if a NPC character is GMing the game, even when interacting with players. At the start of each game, the Heads of Light Entertainment, or the HoLE, will roll a die in order to determine what persona the GM will need to narrate as through the course of the adventure. Different narrating characters include Jimmy Buzzard, Dino Vercotti, and a penguin!

Should you expect anything else? Well, perhaps one thing… spam. Lots and lots of spam.

Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme comes out in October, 2023! Back your copy here!

Kids on Bikes: Second Edition!

It’s time to become hometown heroes once again! Kids on Bikes is officially releasing its second edition in 2023. Face off against bullies, monsters, and dangerous adults in your hometown, in a magic academy, or even in space!

Over the last five years, Kids on Bikes has taken the TTRPG world by storm. This pick-up-and-play RPG is suitable for all ages, is extremely easy to play, and incredibly customizable. Hunters Entertainment, the publishing company behind the game, has released numerous expansions for new adventures. Take to the stars in Teens in Space with starships and laser pistols alike, or train yourself to perform magic wonders in Kids on Brooms!

What should players expect with the new edition? To start, there will be expanded rules for Game Masters on how to develop more in-depth and interesting characters. This will include an updated set of rules and abilities for Powered Characters. There will also be expanded sections on how to add more collaborative storytelling aspects to your game.

Looking to add deadly stakes to the game? Then check out the new Player-scalable stakes when violence comes into play. Will your PC simply become frightened and need to escape when hurt? Or will they find themselves six feet under?

But don’t think that if you buy this new edition that all of the previous adventures will be useless! Previous adventure guides for first edition will still be compatible with second edition. Keep the best of the best for your games, then get even more!

Kids on Bikes: Second Edition comes out in July, 2023! Back your copy here!

Once you have your team and your gear, it’s time to take to the stars. Explore vast and beautiful worlds as you chase down renegades, travelling from planet to planet. Get into space battles as you fire on enemy ships… just be ready when they fire back!

For the Big Shot (Game Master), this guide will give you everything you need to throw your players into an adventure! Learn about different planets, moons, and the lore of the galaxy. Get in-depth NPC breakdowns, including the leads of the original anime series!

Want something a bit more original? This guide will even show you how to build your own crime ridden solar system. The choices are endless – as long as you are able to pay your dues.

The Zone RPG!

The Zone is an upcoming RPG all about have to fight against the strange, the alien, and the horrific. Players will be tested as they are faced with terrifying alien plants, monstrous mutations, and other frightening permutations of a twisted world. In a similar vein to works such as Annihilation and Stalker, The Zone will lead you down a path of madness, horror, and truly strange worlds… and only one in your party will survive.

Each player chooses to play as one of seven different character classes, including The Scientist, The Writer, The Entrepreneur, and The Soldier. Each player then chooses a Phobia and an Obsession that will drive them towards and away from their desires. Then create a spiral of random locations that your characters will have to explore in order to progress forward. Each location has three different options for what the terrain looks like: sublime, spooky, or grotesque. Choose whichever option feels right to you in the moment as your come closer and closer to your doom.

In each location, players will take turns going through ‘scene’ encounters, each with their own possible outcome. Perhaps you will meet with something that looks like an old friend, or have something trigger your Phobia. Whatever the case, you will need to face these encounters with Not So Easy cards. These cards allow you to perform actions that go beyond your usual abilities… with unexpected consequences. Sometimes, nothing will happen. Usually, however, these cards will result in your transforming… mutating… into some just a little more alien than who you were when you began the adventure.

The conclusion of your story will be determined by the amount of mutations each player has accumulated by the climax of the story. Only one from the party is able to get out alive, but that will be left up to everyone to decide.

Will you be able to escape? Or will you just be another victim of the Zone?

The Zone comes out in March, 2023! Back your copy here!
