Koriko: A Magical Year!

Looking to dabble into some less competitive, more relaxing RPGs? Why not begin your journey into solo RPGs with the upcoming Koriko: A Magical Year! Become a teenage witch far from home, trying to balance learning your arcane craft and surviving young adult drama.

Inspired by the works of Studio Ghibli, especially that of Kiki’s Delivery Service, explore the lush and wonderful city of Koriko. Players will use a tarot deck, the main story guide, and numerous dice to discover different world encounters, perform readings, and get up to mischief.

The game sessions are divided into four seasons, each of which will require a tarot spread to determine the activities and important story moments during each month. The story is complete once you have completed all four seasons of the year, leading your character to the ultimate choice – will they stay in Koriko? Or will they leave to greener pastures?

But don’t feel that you need to play alone if you want some company. There are optional rules for players who wish to perform simultaneous play, allowing you and your friends to share in some of the adventure. You all will play in the same city, conversing through letters and stories as you tell of your exploits from throughout the year.

Koriko: A Magical Year comes out in July, 2023! Back your copy here!

Apocalypse Keys!

Apocalypse Keys is a Powered by the Apocalypse game that will have you face off against ancient monsters as you fight with your own humanity… or lack thereof.

You play as a monster looking to save themselves from the darkness within. Choose to play as one of seven playbooks: The Last, the sole remaining member of a distant alien species; The Shade, a emissary of death watching the world end; The Summoned, a violent creature from another world; The Found, a psychic who walks the line between the waking and sleeping worlds; The Fallen, an exiled angel or devil, claiming your own cult of followers; The Hungry, an instinctual beast who hungers forever; and The Surge, a well of power who could detonate at any moment. Each of these playbooks have their own desires, weaknesses, and dark possibilities.

Uncover a mystery of the most vile design as you face off against those who wish to open the Doors of Doom. Learn more about these dark and alien beings who wish to bring the end of the world, one key at a time. Obtain the Apocalypse Keys and decide for yourself if you wish to save humanity… or destroy it yourself.

Use the Reveal Your Heart action to be vulnerable with your party, leaning more into your empathy and humanity. Use the Unleash the Darkness to access your monstrous powers. Each time you utilize each action, you will be pulled further and further towards your destiny.

Within the book, there will be six one-shot Mysteries for you to solve, each one more devious than the last. Find the Doors of Doom and wield the keys to your whims.

So, will you let humanity live another day? Or will you let the monster out?

Lore of Aetherra: Dark Symmetry!

In the next instalment of the Aetherra Saga, Lore of Aetherra: Dark Symmetry takes us into deep waters as we explore underwater scientific wonders. A follow-up campaign guide/adventure book to Lore of Aetherra: The Lost Druid, this new guide will explore the underwater city of Chyrsalea and it’s different factions within.

Chyrsalea is divided into five different major locations: Balance, The Ourro Quarter, Origin, Provis, and Gloom.

  • Balance is a place of peace. Rolling hills, serene rivers, and other beauties fill this landscape. It is a place of total relaxation… aside from the mysterious experiments being performed that can be heard throughout the city in the dead of night.
  • The Ourro Quarter is the meeting ground for many of the inhabitants of the city. This district is filled with bars, restaurants, and shops. It is also home to the Mother Tree, the plant that gives life to all things in the city. But with the Mother Tree beginning to wither, people are beginning to wonder about that strange temple that was constructed at the base of the tree…
  • Origin is where only the best and brightest are able to hone their magic craft. Chosen by the Queen of the city herself, those who work here look to complete the mysterious Peerless Arc, a piece of aethertech that is meant to save the Mother Tree from ruin.
  • Provis is the district responsible for food production in the city. Once, this area was known for its blooms of cultivated crops. But since the Mother Tree has grown sickly, food is slowly becoming a desperate resource. The brightest of Provis have created a nutrient drink called Chyrsalean Flourish to save the people from starvation. But many may prefer starvation than know how it is made… and the purpose of the Dead Sheds.
  • Gloom is the dumping grounds. Filled with toxic waste and filth, very few live in this district. But those that do live under an uneasy truce between the Apitha and the Spae Compound. One wrong move, and war will be at hand.

Take your players from levels 5 to 10 in a underwater adventure that pit your characters against the mysteries of Chrysalea. Discover the reason for the Mother Tree’s withering and either save the city, or let it burn.

While on your adventure, use the powers of Aethercraft to build your own magic contraptions. Design upgrades for your items, weapons, armour, or even your home base. Craft to your hearts content!

Lo! Thy Dread Empire!

It is time to fight the machine, adventurer! Lo! Thy Dread Empire is a indie grimdark wargame/tactical roleplaying game about facing off against the eternal undead face of capitalism!

Polluted skies hide the atrocities that take place across the land. While the Ghoul Clans make their sermons about their Social Darwinist ideas and Wights establish dominion in the toil ridden dungeons, the Death Cults have killed the last of the world’s dissidents. But the spirits of those lost are not so silent…

Each player takes on the role of an undead creature returning to destroy the capitalist takeover. Play as a member of the Spirits of Revolt, ghosts who were once bound to the world as servants; the Mujeres Zobista, zombies who reclaim their bodies with the help of their allies; the Black Cross Revenants, a contingent of undead attempting to destroy the Flesh-Prisons; the Skeletal-Syndicalist Unions trying to destroy the machine dungeons; or the Vampiric Polycules, tight bands of vampires who attack anyone who attempts to cross their lands.

Regardless of your clan and undead type, players will work together as they make their way across the ash and acid ridden land. Face off against the Necromantic Nations in intense battles where survival is never an assurance. Work together, balance your battlefield armaments, and destroy the hold of the Necromantic Nations once and for all!

Lo! Thy Dread Empire comes out in June, 2023! Back your copy here!
