Inspired by media such as Pokemon, Digimon, Zoids and Horizon: Zero Dawn, Autostede is a ttrpg where not only do the monsters, in this game called Autostedes (stedes for short) do the fighting, but they also have a personality of their own that you have to negotiate with to get the most out of them.

The world is a dangerous place, and the towns are separated by time and space, but you play as a Drover, one of the few who has modified and trained your stede to handle all kinds of dangerous situations. You travel from town to town helping people, solving problems and just generally being useful.

Work together with your stede to fight off wild stedes, venture into unknown areas, or help someone move house.

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 him in his tower to undo the ANGEL’S blessing and bring about the world as it should be – wild and everchanging.

Brindlewood Bay is a roleplaying game about a group of elderly women-members of the local Murder Mavens mystery book club who find themselves solving actual murder mysteries in quaint Eden, NSW (transplanted from the town of Brindlewood Bay in New England, MA). They become aware of a dark occult conspiracy connecting the murders, and will eventually have to defeat that dark conspiracy to save their community.

Our game is set in Eden, small coastal community – the Southernmost in NSW. A whaling town in the 18th and 19th centuries, it is now largely a tourist spot. Many locals have turned their homes into bed & breakfasts, and the town has antique shops, comfy dining spots, and artists and artisans of all kinds, and of course, the Eden Killer Whale Museum.

In Dad Overboard the players will get an introduction to the Brindlewood Bay system, and do their best to solve the mystery of the death of Albert Krause who has apparently drowned while on a yachting vacation in Twofold Bay, just South of Eden. If you like a good comfortable mystery, like debating how all the clues fit together, and would like to try a new, rules-lite system, Brindlewood Bay is for you.

Earth, 1980…

How long do you have to live to be called immortal?

One hundred years? Two hundred years? Four hundred years? More?

Or are you just long-lived until you can prove you can’t die?

And what about the person who has lived those four hundred years and has no idea why? How do you handle living a normal life once you notice you simply stopped getting older some time ago? When you see your friends get older and their children get older and you simply… don’t.

How do you handle immortality when you simply don’t know why?

And what do you do when you wake up screaming one morning from a nightmare you can’t remember to a world that no longer feels quite right?

Flotsam’s Children is a tabletop game for 5 immortals stuck on earth having no idea what is going on. It is set in the world of Roger Zelazny’s Chronicles of Amber, however no knowledge of those books is required to play. Knowledge of the 1980s might be more relevant.

The asteroid elf home of Neled Mile Told was made up of a series of asteroids cut through the middle, floating in space, flat side up like a chain connected by elegant bridges. Hundreds of years ago during the war it had been a military base called Global Overall Directorate.

In peace it was a beautiful place of trees and water, where Astral Elf came to have their children. Decorated up to celebrate an end of year harvest festival, bright decorations lavished everywhere. 

Suddenly a Scro attack wave of craft came out of Wildspace dropping a chemical attack, fouling the air bubble. The mixture poisoned most, and caused fires to burst wherever it came in contact with heat. Old air defence stations scrambled to defend and only poorly. Neled Mile Told’s clear air was tinted blue now, flames dotted its surface. Surprisingly few were hurt, though almost all were poisoned.

The admiral leaned on his desk, still trying to choke some air back into his lungs. Whatever that stuff had been it was powerfully debilitating but not deadly. It seemed to coat everything in a oily blue tinge that destroyed your sense of smell. Flammability was a nasty second effect. What was it?

His aid, Theo came lurching in as opposed to their usual firm movement, they had been affected like almost everyone else.

‘Sir, we know what it is’, handing over some paper.

‘It’s what!? How do we know?’

Looking sheepish Teo explained. ‘The base handy man and the janitorial staff recognised it, in fact they’re proving effective in helping the clerics treat those we don’t have the magic to heal yet’

‘Well, I guess that explains why it was coloured and the explosions. Why blue though?’

‘We have an answer for that too sir. We shot down one craft, it had a stow away, someone from the base they launched from, a Mr Cam Fod’ he said handing over another piece of paper, ‘We have his report here.’

Snatching the paper, the admiral read through fast. ‘The Crown of Command was reported lost with almost all hands 500 years ago, we only beat the Scro 200 years ago, what has this got to do with it?

‘We’re not sure but the stow away was quite clear, he can guide a ship back. We have one we could send, you won’t like it.’

Standing in the plaza looking at the ship later the admiral said ‘You’re right, I don’t like it. Who are we sending anyway? Too many are sick and we didn’t have many trained people to start with.’

Theo answered, ‘A ship came in after the attack, passengers and crew healthy, we can send them’ he said handing a third piece of paper. ‘Technically they are trained, you won’t like it.’

Looking over his eyebrows at the vessel the admiral said ‘You’re right, I don’t like it. We’re sending The Band?’

Looking sideways Theo said ‘Like an old mission from G.O.D.’

A tabletop roleplaying game set in a dystopian Milky Way, TERMINUS is the ultra-flexible, narrative-focused, brutal-as-all-hell spacepunk epic.

After the thousand-year Age Of Isolation, our shattered galactic society was dragged out of the darkness by the megacorporations who ushered in a new era of unfettered capitalistic greed. Players of Terminus, now faced with a soulless wasteland of corporate dystopia, must choose to disconnect from this corrupt society to bet it all on living free or die in style.

A wholly original TTRPG, TERMINUS introduces a new innovative dice system, a long-overdue fluid format for RPG combat, and vital new fundamentals of how RPGs should be played. These new mechanics are so intuitive that the basics can be learned in minutes, will galvanise players’ creative instincts regardless of experience level, and ensure a gripping and entertaining adventure every time.

Are you interested in telling queer stories? Does the idea of playing an angsty disaster lesbian with a sword make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? Do you want to take part in destroying every injustice you come across with a sword, erotic tension, and just a little bit of awkward pining?

Then have I got the RPG for you!

Thirsty Sword Lesbians is a Powered by the Apocalypse RPG where your party uses your skills of swords/magic/seduction to protect your community!

Ever since Castle Gayskull appeared in the Badlands, it’s been said that Vanguards are trying to assume control of it. The Princesses want to keep it isolated and safe – away from anyone who might wish to use the power inside. But you’ve heard from whispers that the Vanguard want to use the power inside to reset the world, to take the power that lies at the heart of the castle and redistribute it amongst the world and the people of it.

The main mechanics of this game are ROLEPLAY based, where romantic seduction is your best tool for getting what you want. There are some fighting components, but really, the main mechanics are about flirting and seducing the people around you to bring them over to your side. Whatever your real life charisma is, don’t worry! A dice roll or two will always be there to support you. While it will be a fade to black situation, if you’re not comfortable with (queer) romance or flirting, this probably isn’t the game for you.

DISCLAIMER:
This is a game for people who support racial liberation, intersectional feminism, and queer liberation. It’s for people who respect transgender people, POC, sex workers, disabled people, immigrants, people with diverse queer identities, people experiencing homelessness and poverty, neurodiverse people, fat people, and people of every body type.

This is NOT a space to educate you on any of those things. This is not the space to ask questions, nor to ask people to do the emotional labour of educating you.

This is a space to celebrate the existence and joy of people with these identities, and that support these identities. If you don’t agree or respect ALL of those things, then this is not the game for you.”
