“This most certainly makes me not even want to look back at D&D 5e! It is exactly what I want a fantasy system to be, and is great for both one shots and long campaigns.”

WASTE 20X4 – New Expansion for CY_BORG Announced


New year, new shit. New toxic waste vomited by this nightmare metropolis; people, places, products. Outside the city limits or deep within its rotten heart, you’ll find it. Regardless of what you’re looking for. 

WASTE 20X4 expands the acclaimed CY_BORG RPG by Stockholm Kartell with additional classes, factions, scenarios and tables aplenty. Rules for car chases and vehicular manslaughter. Hazards and foes to get killed by. And much more.
 
Coming 2024

CY_BORG is a complete rules-light, rage-heavy tabletop roleplaying game based on and compatible with MÖRK BORG. Easy to play, easy to hack.





 
Dead Flag Contracts – New Expansion for the DEATH IN SPACE RPG Announced


Dead Flag Contracts is a collection of scenarios and tools for the DEATH IN SPACE RPG. The expansion is focused on Dead Flag City, a fuel depot town on the jungle planet Lepidoptera, where workers and hustlers have struggled to rebuild since the end of the Gem War.

Life is hard in Dead Flag City, but there are still rewards to reap for those willing to take on some danger. In the shadows, new powers are pulling the strings. Their plans can upend the fragile balance in the Tenebris system, reopening old wounds and stirring up new conflicts.
 
Coming 2024

The world is broken. In a collapsing universe, your crew is your only family. DEATH IN SPACE takes you to a grimy blue-collar future in a universe filled with risk, but also opportunity.
