Just finished covering the Mothership Deluxe Boxed Set for my Starter Set Society series and honestly, this thing might be the most intense boxed RPG experience I’ve opened so far.
The amount of material in this thing is kind of insane.
Curious what everyone’s favorite module has been:
Dead Planet, Gradient Descent, Another Bug Hunt, or A Pound of Flesh?
Two years after its Hungarian release, my alien invasion roleplaying game, ENTITY-9 Starter Set, is now also available digitally in English.

This sixty-page publication contains everything needed to start playing the game (and even continue beyond the introductory session). In addition to the rules, it includes a complete 4–6 hour mission together with all of its supporting materials.
The core rulebook is expected in 2027, but a second mission for the Orientation Dossier is also coming later this year.
The game is currently in beta, but content-complete.
The printed edition is now available for pre-order! www.stalkingcrow.hu
A few words about the setting:
The Cold War is a lie.
A veil, concealing a truth far more terrifying than the nuclear weapons aimed at each other by the two superpowers.
The Soviet Union has already fallen. The Central Committee is being controlled like puppets by Cetian conquerors from the cold depths of space.
Shadowy aliens seek to reshape our world for their own purposes. Not with the flashing lasers of Hollywood films, but from behind the scenes, in secret.
In this game, you are an agent of the Global Risk Assessment Bureau (G.R.A.B.), taking part in this struggle firsthand. You will fight on the front lines against galactic invaders and powerful shadow organizations such as Wiedergeburt, which rose from the ruins of the former German Reich, in order to protect Earth from the coming destruction.
The Starter Dossier of the Entity-9 Roleplaying Game introduces you and your companions to this alternate Cold War. Its contents are designed not only to help you learn the rules, but to get you playing immediately.
This volume includes a brief rules overview and the first G.R.A.B. operation, titled “Ingrid,” presented in a fully beginner-friendly format.
“Elric returns to the tabletop in an officially licensed RPG powered by the award-winning Dragonbane system
Hello!
Today, we are thrilled to announce Legends of Stormbringer, a new officially licensed*** ***tabletop roleplaying game based on the iconic fantasy works of Michael Moorcock, planned for release in 2027.
Legends of Stormbringer will carry you into the Young Kingdoms – a world of dying empires, warring gods, and doomed heroes – and bring Moorcock’s richly imagined setting to the tabletop using rules mechanics based on our award-winning Dragonbane RPG. The game will feature the same accessible, dynamic, and deadly approach that has made Dragonbane one of our most celebrated titles.
Returning to the Young Kingdoms as setting writer is Richard Watts, whose work on previous Stormbringer RPGs helped define how generations of roleplayers have experienced Moorcock’s world.
“This has been in the works for several months and we’re thrilled to finally share the news,” said Tomas Härenstam, CEO of Free League Publishing. “We are honored to bring Elric and the Young Kingdoms to the tabletop once more.”
Further details – including crowdfunding plans and additional creative team announcements – will be revealed at a later date.”

Feels like a lot of modern games are overexplaining everything lately right?
Some of the most fun RPGs I’ve played had tiny books and just trusted the table to figure things out.
Do you prefer:
giant detailed systems
or
leaner rulebooks that get out of the way?
Not heroic. Not epic.
I’m talking: terrible decisions, plans that made no sense, fights you definitely shouldn’t have won, “how are we still alive right now” moments!
somehow you made it through anyway
what happened?
Hey guys, we've today published our supplement digital Solo Storm which offers procedures, guidelines, and tips to run our Pirate Borg campaign Ravaged by Storms full solo, without reading the whole module beforehand. The supplement also freatures the OAR procedure from Captain & Crew, republished with friendly permission by M. Allen Hall. If you have backed or pre-orderd the campaign, you have received the solo supplement via BackerKit. Purchases of the campaign module on DriveThruRPG or itch.io also contain the solo supplement without any further cost.
Let’s make a dream party.
You get a full adventuring group, but every character has to come from a different RPG system
mix anything you want:
• a D&D barbarian
• a Call of Cthulhu investigator
• a Cyberpunk netrunner
• a Mörk Borg weirdo
• a Pathfinder wizard
• whatever
only rule:
no two characters from the same system
what’s your party look like?!?!?
Feels like every table has the same “roles” pop up eventually: the rules lawyer, the chaos gremlin, the note taker, the one who’s always late, the player who adopts every NPC.
you know the type
what’s the one your group always ends up with?
We all have that one session that still sticks with us.
Maybe it was an unforgettable character moment, a perfectly timed dice roll, an emotional story beat, or a twist that no one saw coming!
What made it so memorable?
What system were you playing?
What happened that made it stand out?
Is there a moment you and your group still talk about?
Would love to hear the stories that made your tables legendary.
