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

Warhammer 40K: Wrath & Glory, Vow of Absolution

Playing as a Space Marine has been the dream of many for decades, even tho da beakies is soft ‘n small. To each their own, I suppose. Vow of Absolution offers Wrath & glory players a chance to do just that.


With their flagship vessel, and a number of their brethren trapped in the Gilead System by the opening of the Great Rift, the Absolvers find their numbers dwindling as they desperately defend humanity in a system cut off from the Imperium’s might. On Gilead Primus, the ancient Absolver citadel of Castle Grigori is alive with more activity than its storied halls have seen in centuries as the Chapter desperately recruits and prepares new Aspirants.

Vow of Absolution introduces new Tier 5 Astartes Archetypes, exciting previously unexplored locations and dives into the mysteries at the centre of the ancient secrets of the Chapter. Advice on running and scaling in military action based campaigns is offered alongside a unique adventure designed specifically to introduce the new and exciting content into your campaigns. Vow of Absolution is a detailed look at The Absolvers and playing an Astartes warrior in Wrath & Glory.


World’s Oldest Profession: 100 Courtesans and Concubines

If the random shopkeeper who didn’t even have a name before being badgered by the PCs gets a fully improved backstory and family history, why not other NPCs too? And if you’re going to provide a backstory and side quests to an NPC, make them memorable.

Prostitution is a facet of fantasy RPGs that go all the way back to some of the earliest books released for Dungeons and Dragons. While there has been controversy surrounding sex workers in the game, most will acknowledge they are an obvious aspect of most worlds where adventurers are looking to carouse the night away after surviving their last quest. And whether your setting has a brothel in every town worth the name, cults dedicated to various gods and goddesses of love or merely taverns and inns where doxies tend to gather in search of a client for a night, this supplement is full of unique practitioners of the world’s oldest profession.

Mithril Lake Encounters 2

SCP Foundation has so much content ready to be translated into RPGs. Mithril Lake is exactly that and ready to be played in any 5E setting. This quick preview encounter is set to get you ready to dive into the full campaign coming soon.

An Anomalous Encounter featured in the upcoming Mithril Lake Campaign Setting for 5E. Based on material from the SCP Foundation. I seek the revelations of all that the holy told to the unwise in the dreams of cold embers in sunlight that fade across lakes of black blood and snakes that eat the loaves of children from lamb trees in autumn.

So says the strange hostile creature before you as it charges you. Can you defeat the HEART OF DARKNESS? Can your mind withstand the horrors it utters to you?

VATBORN TO KILL

Listen, let’s just be open about this: Vatborn To Kill is Helldivers 2. The democracy isn’t going to spread itself.
