Worked hard on Roll For Mechs, it was a system I could teach under 5 minutes and we always had a TON of laughs. I was pushed to fully publish it and finally got a professional group to record a session.
Start of a great summer!!
These pages are from Goblins & Goblins, my manual focused on expanding goblins into a much wider range of roles, encounters, factions, and campaign tools.
This preview includes the Goblin Shadowmancer, a CR 3 spellcaster built around darkness, fear, teleportation, necrotic magic, and optional shadow traits; the Goblin Alchemist, a chaotic potion-maker with random concoctions, explosive flasks, and extra customization options; and the Goblin King, a CR 4 leader who commands nearby goblins, uses legendary actions, and can turn a messy goblin fight into something much more dangerous.
I wanted Goblins & Goblins to make goblins feel fresh again, not just as disposable low-level enemies, but as tricksters, leaders, weird specialists, faction members, recurring villains, or chaotic allies that can show up at many different levels of play.

Hey I wanted to share my solo hexcrawling game "Hex Hunter" with you.
Hex Hunter takes a lot of inspiration from classic OSR hexcrawl design - Justin Alexander's hexcrawl articles were a big influence.
I wanted to create an easy to play solo game, that leaves enough space for imagination while being a bit more "gamyfied" than usual solo rpgs I played.
The base game is currently 75% off on itch.io and DriveThruRPG. There are also three expansions available for free. More will be released soon!
It love to get some reviews from people who try out the game, so I can fix potential problems etc. I haven't found myself so far.
DOTS RPG Project is a charity that created the world’s first factory-produced RPG sets that feature braille-only faces and have lead the charge on promoting and creating tools for accessibility in ttrpgs for years!
Me and some of the users at r/myrpg have put together a bundle of 45 experimental rpgs, tools, and passion projects, worth over 100 dollars, with the proceeds being directed by itch to DOTS RPG Project, and here's the kicker, if you can't or don't wish to donate its available entirely for free! https://itch.io/b/3605/indie-charity-bundle-for-accessibility-in-ttrpgs-dots-rpg
Our goal is to show that low budged even amateur passion projects (vetted one to be Clear) can be just as rewarding as rpgs with established studios behind them, and help make tabletop rpgs available for absolutely everyone! Regardless of monetary resources, and help the people that do it best make them more accessible for players from all walks of life! If you do obtain the bundle without any donations, I hope you'll consider promoting it (#rpgbookclub, #dotsrpg), but either way the selection of extensive full systems, solo and micro games, tools and gmless and dexterity based rolls and even games played out in everyday life, is available for anyone that clicks the link

Description:
Ghostline HackOps is a free browser-based cyber-ops RPG set in a fictional, contained world. Players create an operator, take on missions, investigate simulated systems, collect evidence, unlock tools, and progress through an unfolding storyline. The gameplay combines terminal-style interactions, strategy, investigation, mission objectives, and RPG-style progression.
All targets, systems, organisations, and missions in the game are fictional. Ghostline is designed as an immersive game experience and does not involve real-world systems or hacking targets. There is no download required—you can launch it directly in your browser and begin playing immediately.
The game is currently in alpha, and I am looking for honest player feedback on the onboarding, mission flow, interface, progression, difficulty, bugs, performance, and overall gameplay experience.

A card-based tabletop RPG where your character is your deck.

Hello, fellow adventurers! Today, we are excited to share an extended preview of magic items from our upcoming Kickstarter project, 300+ Mythological Items for 5E and 2024.
Step into a realm of ancient gods, legendary heroes, and forgotten civilizations with Mythological Items, a comprehensive compendium featuring over 300 magical items specifically designed for 5E and its 2024 ruleset update. This manual spans a vast array of cultural traditions, organizing its treasures into regional categories for easy reference and immersive worldbuilding. Each item includes not only full game mechanics, but also lore and background information to integrate it seamlessly into your campaign, whether as treasure, quest rewards, or the key to an unfolding mythic saga. From the storm-summoning weapons of thunder gods to cursed trinkets whispered of in ancient lore, this book brings myth to your table like never before.
This manual offers an extensive collection of magical items that can be incorporated into any campaign, regardless of its connection to specific mythological themes. The items presented in this volume, drawn from a multitude of global legends and folklore, are envisioned to enhance the diversity and depth of any fantasy world. This eclectic array mirrors the inherent blending of elements in many worlds and settings, where influences from various cultures and mythologies coexist harmoniously. For instance, Thor’s Hammer, Mjölnir, could serve as the centerpiece of a divine quest, while Draupnir, the Norse ring of endless wealth, might drive political intrigue or power struggles in a kingdom torn by greed.
Mythological Items also provides a solid foundation for campaigns that wish to delve deeper into the relics of a specific mythology or blend multiple traditions into a larger, interconnected setting. A campaign inspired by Greek mythology could see players donning the Nemean Lion’s Pelt, becoming nearly invulnerable as they take on challenges worthy of Heracles himself, while a campaign drawing from Japanese folklore could involve uncovering the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the fabled grass-cutting sword tied to imperial lineage and divine storms.
We suggest checking our pre-launch page for additional info and an extended 30-page preview of our compendium, scheduled to release in September! Alternatively, you can also subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on upcoming projects, special offers, and important news about our past and future works.
Happy adventuring!
Hello,
I've written a 7-scenario campaign for Symbaroum: The Chronicles of the Seven.
Originally written in French, I'm currently translating it into English.
The campaign is available:
https://legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/573489/The-Chronicles-of-the-Seven-BUNDLE
Chronicles of the Seven is a Symbaroum campaign focused on the political, social, and ideological tensions that grip Ambria after the conquest of Davokar. Through a series of interconnected scenarios, player characters are gradually drawn into a conspiracy far larger than they could have imagined, involving political manipulation, extremist movements, noble ambitions, and secret organizations.
Thanks for reading.

Here are a few preview pages from Atlantis: War of the Tridents, my 270+ page adventure module for 5E, blending Greek mythology, Atlantean fantasy, underwater exploration, political conflict, and traditional fantasy adventure.
This preview shows a mix of the content included in the book: the Barbarian: Path of the Sea Serpent, an ocean-themed subclass built around aquatic adaptation, serpent-like fury, and sea monster resilience; the Atlantean Elemental Sword, a very rare magic weapon forged with fire, lightning, and water gems; several new ocean-themed spells like Rejuvenating Waters, Water Cyclone, and Tidal Smite; Callista, the High Priestess of Athena in Atlantis; and monsters such as the Brine Sea Serpent and Lesser Stone Golem.
The full adventure includes flexible campaign paths, underwater and surface encounters, new character options, spells, magic items, NPCs, monsters, locations, factions, and extensive VTT resources.
It is designed for campaigns that want mythic adventure, oceanic exploration, Atlantean politics, divine influence, ancient secrets, and dangerous creatures from the depths.

Hi,
I've only ever tipped my toes in TTRPGs but have always dreamed of doing more (busy dad with kids etc). Now my 15 year old son is interested and wants to give it a go! Only "condition" he set is it has to be "commando" style (i.e. small special squad) WW2 (or modern warfare) setting, not sci-fi/fantasy/etc
I've done a bit of D&D and I think that's about the complexity limit to avoid him getting bored by details.
Any recommendations? Ideally the book(s) has beautiful era-appropriate artwork etc
