My name is Brett Bernstein. I run Precis Intermedia. This Q&A is focusing on Rune Stryders, which is an RPG and optional tactical game involving Rune Magic and Fantasy Mechas. It has just been released as a new printing with some new art and a re-editing, but it was originally published around 2003.

Okay, so I’m a humble RPG designer from Belgium! I’m here today to talk about “Ambrosia”, which is a dark fantasy role-playing game I designed inspired by the history and folklore of the Low Countries (Belgium and the Netherlands). I wanted to take the action over here as we’ve got quite a history, mostly being locked in between four important historical powers in western Europe (England, Germany, France and Scandinavia) and forming a buffer between them. To be honest, there’s been a lot of war and strife here in the past, so that inspired me to take it in a more fantasy-like direction.

About the fantasy aspect, I like to call it “medium fantasy” as it’s not really low nor high fantasy- my idea is, everything that people thought was real in medieval times, is real in the game. I.e. medicine works with leeches and bloodlettings, evil creatures take babies from their cradle and put their own children in their place, if you go into the woods alone at night you’re sure to fall prey to some horrible beast… things like that.

It’s also very much a down-to-earth game as you’re not playing super-powered individuals, but real people… if you get hit with a greatsword, it’s likely to take your arm off. Of course, as the players are still the protagonists of the story, I prefer maiming the characters instead of killing them outright 😉 There’s a bit of character growth in terms of game mechanics, but there’s no real level gap between high- and low-level characters.

The World of Durmin is a new fantasy setting that is also a demiplane, featuring 4 continents laid out in a sandbox format. Inside the box are two books on Durmin, one about the world, and one that adds 20 new races and 10 new classes to the game. Also inside are 5 maps: one large 36″ x 24″ map of the world, and 4 24″ x 18″ of each continent marked in hex grids for easy distance measuring. There is also an introductory adventure.

Carbon Grey is a diesel punk alternative ww1 setting where reality is bending in on itself, causing strange continuity fluxes and surges.

Hey everyone, I’m Alex Barker, also known as lagann_logoff. I’m the creator of Fear in the Foundation, or FITF. It’s a TTRPG set in the universe crafted by the authors of the SCP Wiki, a collaborative writing project focused on the exploits of the titular SCP Foundation.
The SCP Foundation is a fictional shadow organization that captures and studies anomalous phenomena in order to maintain a sense of normalcy and keep the world safe. “Anomalous” is a term for anything that defies scientific explanation.
The game itself is d100-based, drawing plenty of mechanical inspiration from games like D&D, Call of Cthulhu, and GURPS. In order to perform an action, players must roll lower than the value of the Ability or Skill that corresponds to it.
Currently, the game is exclusively a digital product, and is still in production. However, it is fully playable and available for purchase (10 USD). I continuously update and release beta versions of the game, which my community tests and helps me build upon. Those who purchase the game receive all updates to the beta for free, and will receive the fully completed digital version for free as well. At the moment, the game is getting close to a full release.

Hey everyone!
I’m Mason Crawford, and my game is Monster Wrangler, a monster–training tabletop RPG where players go on adventures alongside monster companions.
Monster Wrangler is a d10 based, target number system – roll dice equal to your Attribute + Skill, and each 7+ is a success. On a 10, the die explodes and you roll another die.
We’re live on Kickstarter right now!
