    125 Frostpunk | The Tabletop Roleplaying Game based on the award-winning Frostpunk video games

    Frostpunk, the Tabletop Roleplaying Game based on the award-winning Frostpunk video games   The cold is unrelenting. It's been ten years since the end of the world. Cities depend on massive generators that provide heat, and machinery that excavates resources and grows food. Humans scramble to survive, relying on the pillars of Faith and Order to build societies that can keep residents alive despite the odds. You have skills to contribute to the city—but can you make the difficult choices needed for survival?   Frostpunk, the Tabletop Roleplaying Game, based on the award-winning Frostpunk video games, uses Catalyst’s new medium-weight roleplaying Dice Core system. Join us this week as Jason M. Hardy tells us all about the project.   Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cgl/frostpunk-the-roleplaying-game Website: catalystgamelabs.com Warm Flesh actual play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQK9igBQf6w

    124 The Psychic Danger Society | Mystery, psychic prediction, community, and tea

    Join us for a cozy interview of mystery, psychic prediction, community, and tea. This week we’re speaking to James Kerr about The Psychic Danger Society.   The unique mechanics of the game give you a pool of “prediction dice” which you roll at the start of the session. The players choose which dice results to use when resolving issues in the game. Each die, when put forward, is spent and gone, leaving players with fewer to use should something go wrong. If you’re caught without dice, you can't know the future, and it may mean the end… so make your predictions count!

    122 Cold Sun | Survive and explore a world at the dawn of civilization

    What does it take to survive the wilderness? Who does it take? A soldier, a talker, a hunter, a witch? Who lives and who starves? In the wilderness, food is the only thing that matters -- and while your stomachs go empty and wounds begin to ache,one thing remains truly certain... the World will Feast. COLD SUN is a visceral roleplaying game by Robert Cambias about scarcity, survival, and adventure, for 1-8 players. It takes inspiration from John Harper’s Blades in the Dark, Patrick Stuart’s Veins of the Earth, and the OSR (Old School Renaissance) movement. robert-cambias.itch.io/cold-sun

    121 The Cunning Folk | A TTRPG of Mischief and Mayhem

    Become one of The Cunning Folk with this rules-lite dark comedy ttrpg. Use your Magick and Luck to create a whole heap of Mischief. And seek devilish revenge on mortals on the receiving end of your ire.   The Cunning folks has its own system with a simple D6 dice pool, and interestingly features a levelling DOWN as well as levelling up mechanic. The rules encourage a ‘failing forward’ style of storytelling, and the low prep required of the GM makes it ideal for one shots.   The game is launching on Kickstarter today (31st March 2025)!
