The night hunt begins, adventurer! Steinhardt’s Guide to the Eldritch Hunt is a Soulsbourne-Lovecraftian inspired 5e supplement that will put you face to face with terrifying creatures from beyond.
Luyarnha is a city on the verge of collapse. Monsters besiege the walls at all sides. The First Hunters have become ravaged by plague and ruin, and the Radiant Church has turned to corruption and darkness. The only hope for this sundered city is the determination and bravery of new heroes… if the city can even be saved.
But is not only mortals and monsters that are affecting the world. The moons themselves are beginning to turn the world mad. Have players draw cards or roll dice to determine the nightly effects of the moons on your dark world. Effects can range from fire bursting through the streets, to any night wanderers being beset with mayhem. No one is safe under the eldritch moons.
And don’t forget about the madness! A brand new madness system will send your players spiralling to new depths of despair in the face of this world.
But this does not mean that the players will be helpless. This guide will include brand new subclasses and racial options, each stronger than the last. Use powerful magic items to carve through any beast that walks your way. Work together to survive this world of madness, one swing of your blade at a time.
Steinhardt’s Guide to the Eldritch Hunt comes out in March, 2023! Back your copy here!

Welcome to hell on Earth, adventurer. Hellguard: Curse of Caina is a RPG where dark forces are waging a secret war against humanity. Become one of the few brave souls willing to save the world from total destruction as you fight monsters, corrupted men, and everything in between.
The two major aspects of Hellguard are investigation and intense combat. Each adventure will require you and your allies to search for clues to determine what monster you are dealing with, what weaknesses it may have, and how to deal with it. You will have to track it down, doing a series of skill checks to succeed. Otherwise, you may just find yourself at a dead end.
Once you do find the beast, the real fun begins. Hellguard‘s combat is meant to be brutal and cinematic, inspired by combat from classic monster-fighting anime. Use your team to your advantage – otherwise, your party might go down faster than you expect. While you may have powerful abilities and attacks, so do the beasts you’re facing.
In the core rulebook, you will have five adventures and five possible character types to choose from. For the adventures, choose if you would prefer to investigate a missing kid in The Red Master; fight numerous undead who rise from their underwater grave to claim revenge in The Shackled Dead; uncover a divine conspiracy in A Quiet Abbey; fight off a murderous travelling acting troupe in Dark Dramaturgy; or clear out an old estate for a wealthy duke that is filled with dark secrets in The Silent Citadel.
For characters, delight in all your hack and slash possibilities with The Knight and The Breaker; take the stealthy way as The Shadow; or dive into the world of dark magics with The Witch and The Sage.
Whatever powers your wield, use them well. You’re life depends on it.

Do you consider yourself a surrealist? I hope so if you’re going to survive here! Based on the works of famous painter Hieronymus Bosch, Hieronymus throws you into a strange and nightmarish world. Work with your allies to escape from these whimsical and dangerous paintings!
Start by choosing your era appropriate character, or Playbook, such as the Scoundrel, the Priest, or the Merchant. After choosing your character, your Game Master will drop you head first into a world where up is down and people hatch from eggs. Face off against each challenge in this alien terrain, whether it be strange creatures or escaping from strange trapezoidal buildings!
The major themes surrounding Hieronymus include the fall of feudalism, corruption, horror, and the apocalypse in the Medieval Age. Use these themes to help breath life into your character and what they are doing in Hieronymus’s work. Were they once a great lord who fell from favour? Perhaps a priest that betrayed the will of the divine? Use the same techniques for helping build the world of your painting. While surrealism does not call for cause and effect, some lore of this strange place will give you a lot to work with.
Hieronymus comes out in September, 2022! Back your copy here!

Based on the classic 80s board game RETURN TO DARK TOWER, Return to Dark Tower: Fantasy Roleplaying is an upcoming RPG from 9th Level Games. Dive into a dark fantasy pulp-style adventure where you face-off against a dark adversary, and decide the fate of the world!
Return to Dark Tower runs on the polymorph™ system, which lets you run the game with a single polyhedral die. Each campaign runs from three to five sessions, each with its own dangers, monsters, and enemies to defeat.
Start the game by building a Adversary. Discuss who the big bad is: why are they doing what they are doing? Are they entirely evil? Or perhaps is there something else underneath? The Adversary role will be taken on by a player (AKA a Game Master) to control combat encounters, create challenges, and run game sessions.
Players will work together to stop the Adversary over the course of one year. Each team action can take any amount of time depending on the difficulty, from hours, to days, to weeks, to months. If you are unable to succeed within the one year time frame, then the Adversary wins, and all is lost.
But don’t think that you are all alone. Each player creates a Companion to help them through the story. The Companion could be anything, from a combat character or more socially oriented. Take as much help as you can get – you’re going to need it.
Return to Dark Tower comes out in May, 2023! Back your copy here!

It’s time to dive into the smallest fantasy adventure with the biggest heart! Household is a fantasy adventure RPG where you play as a Little Folk adventuring in the wilds of an abandoned home. Go to glamorous regency-era events, fight against insects, and save your community from the dangers of the house you call home!
Choose to play as one of the four main types of Littlings: Fairy’s, known for their glitz and glamour; Boggarts, known for their martial prowess; Sluagh, known for their resilience; or Sprites, known for their attunement with nature. Choose a Profession and a Vocation to finalize your abilities and actions.
Household is powered by the Favoured By Fortune system. This system is heavily inspired by the Fortune System established in the adventure RPG Broken Compass. In this system, special dice will have different card suits across the sides: Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, and Spades. Your aim is not to hit a set number, but instead to create sets of symbols. Your dice hand size is six, which you will roll for performing special actions. You can use the Joker side to match with any suit that you have rolled, but the Blank side will leave you with nothing.
Household comes out in June 2023! Back your copy here!

Upgrade your character with one of the twenty new class archetypes, including the Sanguine Domain for Clerics or the Bounty Hunter for Rogues. Travel across the land of Tolia, fight terrifying beasts, and survive the streets of the cities of Kanrath and Cyherested!
