Oddfish Games’s Radiance Adventure Engine lights the way for Solo TTRPG Play

, , , , , 9

We’ve all been there: You’ve got the urge to play your favorite tabletop roleplaying game. You want the thrill of telling a great story, tossing some dice, and making instant memories. The only problem: your gaming group’s on hiatus, or you’re travelling for a work trip, or – in today’s pandemic world of self-isolation – you’re not able to meet with friends. The only option before was to simply pine over our lost hobby and dream if the good ol’ days. But now, there’s hope: A light that shines at the end of this proverbial tunnel: The Radiance Adventure Engine. Mike Howlett of Oddfish Games has created the ultimate ttrpg solution to the lonely-player’ blues: A gaming system that You can use by yourself for ANY game in ANY system. In the Radiance Adventure Engine, you are both the Player and the Game Master, and the story belongs completely to you and the system of your choice. Radiance is not a combat simulator; there’s no rules for any ttrpg outcomes.

Introducing CY_BORG: The Followup To MORK BORG

Introducing CY_BORG: The Followup To MORK BORG

, , , , , , , , , 0

Remember MORK BORG? It was Free League’s love letter to metal culture in the form of a tabletop game that took place in a gnarly occult world. The game was released early in 2020 and, despite the obstacles you’d think would keep it from selling, weathered the pandemic enough to make a sequel possible. Which brings us to CY_BORG! Whereas MORK BORG took its inspiration from the metal music genre, CY_BORG is inspired by noise, industrial and underground hiphop. You and your friends play cybernetically enhanced misfits and outlaws in an oppressive technological landscape of systemic corruption, street violence, and even alien-worshipping cults (not the nice ones). The game is fully compatible with MORK BORG. CY_BORG RPG is a messed-up mirror image of MÖRK BORG RPG. A game about climate collapse, out-of-control consumerism, the commodification of personal data, late-stage capitalism, transhumanism and senseless violence. Similar in tone and approach to game and book design but enhanced and augmented. Includes an introductory scenario and ≈60 random tables for your every cyberpunk need.

If you put your ear to the ground, you could hear the heartbeat of the Loop – the purring of the Gravitron, the central piece of engineering magic that was the focus of the Loop’s experiments.  You and your friends play the local kids curious about the underground science facility known as The Loop where all sorts of strange

Free League Now Working On A Blade Runner RPG

Free League Now Working On A Blade Runner RPG

, , , , , , , , 0

We write about tabletop game maker Free League a lot around these parts, and based on what they just announced, we don’t expect to stop anytime soon. They’ve acquired the Blade Runner license, which is basically printing money even if the game is bad (but that probably won’t be the case). In Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game, each player will assume the role of a detective searching the rainy streets of cyberpunk LA, on the hunt for Replicants. Note that the Blade Runners can be either human or Replicant themselves. The game is set between the first and second movies, so around 2037 — shortly after the Wallace Corporation lets their new Nexus-9 models on the streets, much harder to tell the difference. All gameplay will stem from the Core Rulebook, being written now by Joe LeFavi, CEO of Genuine Entertainment. “It’s easy to get mesmerized by the noodle-slurping, blaster-shooting neon spectacle of it all, but Blade Runner is a retrofitted world with many layers, and at its core, it’s

Vaesen And Symbaroum Launch On Foundry

Vaesen And Symbaroum Launch On Foundry

As of today, there’s one more virtual tabletop (VTT) service you can play Vaesen and Symbaroum on. Free League has announced they’ve released versions of these two games that work on Foundry. In Vaesen, based on the creations of Swedish illustrator and author Johan Egerkrans, you and your friends play paranormal investigators in the 19th century who happen to be somewhat paranormal themselves. You have the gift known as “the Sight” which means you can spot extradimensional phenomena that would be invisible to most people. Usually, this will take the form of horrible monsters you’ll be forced to do battle with. But it’s all in a day’s work. Symbaroum is the long-running dark fantasy game where you explore the vast world of Davokar on a quest for treasure, secrets and fame. It’s worth noting only the Core Rulebook and Starter Set are on Foundry….none of the expansions appear to be there. But there’s plenty to do just with the core tools. Vaesen and Symbaroum join the other Free League RPGs

Alien RPG Colonial Marines Operations Manual Is Out Now

Alien RPG Colonial Marines Operations Manual Is Out Now

, , , , , , , 0

Free League’s Alien RPG is one of their most successful products, and has received several additional campaigns since its release. The latest expansion, Colonial Marines Operations Manual, was announced last December for a March 2021 release. It hit a delay or two since that point, but it’s finally out now. The Colonial Marines Operations Manual will let you and your friends launch a campaign from the perspective of the military sent to wipe out the Xenomorph menace. You saw the movies, so you know that’s easier said than done. They can cut the power, man! This campaign introduces five new missions, expanded character creation rules and a backstory for the Marines. Keep in mind this is not a standalone — it assumes you already own the core rulebook. You joined the Corps because you wanted to see the stars. You believe in duty and honor. You have made friends for life here—and watched plenty of them get cut down by shrapnel. No one pays you to ask why, just to

Free League sent us a note this evening stating two of its most popular tabletop games, Tales From The Loop and Mutant: Year Zero, are now playable on the Foundry VTT (Virtual Tabletop) platform. Tales From the Loop and Mutant Year Zero need no introduction around here….we’ve written plenty of news reports about them and various expansions Free League has added. But just in case this is somehow the first mention you’ve ever read, Tales From The loop is an 80s throwback where you assume the roles of a bunch of kids confronting weird creatures that have emerged from another dimension, and Mutant: Year Zero is a post-apocalyptic adventure where you play survivors that have been altered by the radioactive landscape. They’re not the first Free League RPGs to be made available on Foundry — their Alien RPG and Forbidden Lands were itnroduced to the platform earlier. Tales From The Loop and Mutant: Year Zero have also already arrived on other VTT services — Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds have ’em.
