It’s time to roll the dice on new releases! Come check out this week’s batch of brand new tabletop role-playing games.

Dragonbane Core Set

Dragonbane is a classic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game full of magic, mystery, and adventure. It is designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play, with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run. Dragonbane is a game with room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers.

This boxed core set is filled to the brim with content, including a complete campaign. Dragonbane is a translation of Drakar och Demoner, Scandinavia’s first and biggest tabletop RPG, originally launched in 1982. This new and reimagined edition has one foot firmly planted in the heritage of decades of Swedish gaming and the other in the modern and innovative game design for which Free League Publishing is known worldwide.

Astounding Interplanetary Adventures: Cosmic Edition

Astounding Interplanetary Adventures, the roleplaying game of retro sci-fi action, returns with the Cosmic Edition!

Take on the Zirgurnic Empire in this rules lite game of pulpy science fiction fun in the style of Flash Gordon and Buck Rodgers. In just 8 pages you and your group have everything you need to take off into the cosmos, do battle with strange aliens and help the Alliance of Free Worlds topple the mighty Zirgun and his dread forces. 

Shadowrun: Shoot Straight

This week’s header image is from this game.

You know the basic advice—shoot straight, conserve ammo, etc.—but that’s far from the only things runners need to know. How do you get into where you’re not supposed to be? How do you stay unseen in spots with a thousand eyes watching? And how do you break the law regularly without being caught?

Shoot Straight provides runner-to-runner advice in a range of areas, from covert ops to con games to making sure you don’t blow your big score in one place. Anyone who wants to survive and thrive in the shadows could benefit from the advice—and plot ideas—this book holds.

Records of the Faithful: GM’s Journal – OSR & 5e

The Records of the Faithful: Gamemaster’s Journal is perfect for a Gamemaster running the Splinters of Faith adventure. It contains useful information to help during the game, including NPC names, town and establishment name generators, monster trackers, graph paper, useful background information, and more.
