Breaking Serenity

Logan Timmins of BreathingStories

Long ago, an ANGEL visited the earth to grant one wish to a wise, old man. The man wished for everlasting peace, and so it was. The earth was serene. Nothing changed. No voices rose in anger, but nor did any declare their love. The sun neither rose nor set, but hovered meekly, leaving drops of sunlight in small pools. No waves came to bring down the fishermen, no scorching heat to dry out the land, no winds to tear crops from the ground. Every day is exactly the same.

You’ve lived this way as long as you can recall. And even though you’ve known nothing else, it weighs on you - this isn’t right. Where is the wildness and chaos of life? This is but a long death.

You must travel across this too-blissful world and find the Devil Death. There you must petition them in their tower to undo the ANGEL’S blessing and bring about the world as it should be - wild and everchanging.

Fire & Stone

Élodie Lloyd

Cross the blazing red plains…

Ascend the howling white pillars…

Sink into the creeping black abyss…

Step into a world of fire and stone.

Fire & Stone is a minimalist roleplaying setting of stone, sorcery and grim psychedelia. Inspired by real-life prehistory and animistic beliefs, it invites players to explore a world of strange creatures, frightful caves, and spirits that beckon from just beyond the unexplored horizon.

Based on the elegant ‘Knave’ ruleset, Fire & Stone prioritises speed, simplicity and immersion in a Stone Age that could have been.

Survival is far from guaranteed. May the Spirits bless your hunt.

Good Society: A Jane Austen RPG

Vee Hendro & Hayley Gordon

Artists: Raven Warner, Aviv Or 

Good Society is a collaborative regency rpg that seeks to capture the heart, and the countenance, of Jane Austen’s work.

It is a game of balls, estates, sly glances, and turns about the garden. At least on the surface. Underneath this, just as in Austen’s own novels, it is a game of social ambition, family obligation and breathtaking, heart-stopping longing.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me // Time after time

Logan Timmins of BreathingStories

A 2 player game of love and time travel...

You have lived a life of time distorted. The days you live are not in chronological order. One day you might be 5 years old, learning to tie your shoe for the first time. You sleep, and awake the next day as a young adult, at a job you suddenly know (or remember?) how to do.

But recently, your days have all had one thing in common. One person is always there. Even though you are living your relationship out of order, it is clear that you will love this person dearly (or perhaps you already do).

How will the two of you navigate time and space to be together?

Logan Timmins of BreathingStories

Artist: Nimaël

I'M A TRANS MAN AND I'M HERE TO FUCK (TRANS BODIES ARE SEXY)

is a (NSFW) game for trans men and trans masc folks to feel very trans and very sexy. It's a game to celebrate trans bodies. It's a game that says, 'yes, I can have an explicitly trans body, and love myself, and be incredibly attractive to others and have really, really good sex.'

Incarnation

Logan Timmins of BreathingStories

Artist: Kaden Ramstack

At some mundane moment, something shifted in you. The number of ‘coincidences’ became too large to be without meaning. The deja vu became impossible to ignore. It hit you, not like a sack of bricks, but like a shawl landing firmly on your shoulders.

This is not your first life. You have lived many others, and now they start trickling in…

Partners

Steve Dee

Partners is a unique new storytelling game for two players from award-winning designer Steve Dee. A love-letter to the police procedural and mystery of the week television genre, players take the roles of detectives hot on a murder case each session of play. Instead of players trying to discover a plot created by a GM or freeform a solution, random card draws slowly reveal which suspects are in play and what kind of clues they provide. Only when the final card is drawn in the final scene will the detectives - and the players - know who did it.  

Designed to suit anyone from experienced roleplayers to crime fiction writers to novices who just love the genre, Partners is the perfect game for anyone who cannot get enough of solving mysteries, and being an irascible duo along the way. Published as a beautiful softback book and only needing a single deck of cards it can be played anywhere by anyone who has ever seen a cop show, and you can even expand it out for more than two if you wish. It also plays well online making it a great gift in these isolation times.

Relics

Steve Dee

In the game players take the roles of fallen angels, trapped on earth now that the gates to heaven have closed forever. Powerful celestial items are scattered through human history, and the cold war between light and dark has turned into a mad arms race. Control the Relics and you control the world - but first, you must find them.

A unique flashback mechanic reveals the intertwined history of these ancient beings, solving the mysteries around them by uncovering their own memories. Players find themselves unreliable narrators of their own pasts, while also facing the complex moral questions of their own future. The setting is full of secrets about the origins of angels and humanity, as well as complex questions about morality, philosophy and religion. 

Plus you can kill demons with giant flaming swords.

TOMBS: Toot on my balls skeleton

Swamphen

TOMBS: Toot on my balls skeleton is about you, and you are two (or more) skeletons. You are both horny and up for each other's sex. But over the millennia you have forgotten how sex works. TOMBS is a very silly, surprisingly deep, and safe way to explore sex, consent and gender together.
