The Underwater People

The Underwater People:

The Underwater People
Publisher: Bully Pulpit Games

The Pitch

The Underwater People is a gently funny and melancholy game about outsiders forced to assimilate.

You play people who really ought to live underwater but are, instead, selling real estate and wireless plans in suburban Atlanta. So you are a princess of Atlantis, or a swamp monster, or a siren, literally a fish out of water in the dry world, and the people you meet at a Day's Inn conference room once a month are solace and reminder.

This requires for 4-10 players, including one player/facilitator and about 2 hours.

The Underwater People

For the first time, a group of underwater people are getting together to meet, share their lives, and commiserate about life out of water. Secret gill-men, naiads, barnacle lords, fish-women, and the people who love them all meet in their reluctantly adopted hometown far from the sea, all glad for some understanding and companionship in a dry, difficult world full of secrets and hardship. Maybe if things go well this can be a monthly thing.

What's Included?

A 30-page PDF, including facilitator instructions and character cards.

Ears Are Burning

Ears Are Burning:

Ears Are Burning is now on
https://briecs.itch.io/ears-are-burning



a dark blue box with the text "Ears Are Burning by Brie Beau Sheldon, a game of superstition & the public eye"

Ears Are Burning is a single-player game using timed observation and body control (low-impact meditation) to explore our connection to the constant flow of input from others, and our own output in desperation to match it, and the way it impacts us physically. It's a simple experience, but everyone knows that when it comes to discourse, it's always possible to lose the game.


--


Ears Are Burning is super simple but it is expressing an experience I'm struggling with as I work through running a Kickstarter. It's not easy - in fact, it's super challenging - to let your ears cool down. I hope I can find more time to do it soon. Won't you join me?

Raising Azazel

Raising Azazel:

Raising Azazel
Publisher: PPM

Raising Azazel was written as part of the 2018 NaGaDeMon, that is National Game Design Month. The NaGaDeMon challenge says that a game should be written and played during a single month, November. This game was written between 1st and 27th of November 2018. It has been playtested by a total of 1 person, namely me.

As the game was written in a single month there has been virtually no editing or even proof reading. I apologise in advance for errors and ommissions.

FUDGE

The core system used in Raising Azazel is FUDGE. This game has taken just a small amount of the FUDGE rules to create a basic role playing game. If you like the game then let me know and I will look at the game again, edit, reorganise, improve and expand it.

Raising Azazel is a role-playing game in which each player has become entangled in the web of a globe spanning conspiracy with demonic overtones. Also, by chance, each player character also happens to be a direct descendant of one of Charlemagne’s twelve paladins.

Raising Azazel is a ‘tethered sandbox’ game. In a traditional sandbox the Game Master creates the world and the different factions within it and the characters can do anything and go anywhere and write their own stories. Raising Azazel the players can do that but at the same time their fate is forever entwined with a central plot. If the characters choose to ignore the plot then eventually the plot will come to find them.

Ultimate Hyper Fantastic Magical Girls Role Playing Game

Ultimate Hyper Fantastic Magical Girls Role Playing Game:

Ultimate Hyper Fantastic Magical Girls Role Playing Game
Publisher: Ultimate Hyper Games

This contains the Players Guide, GM Guide, and the Corruption Compendium (a monster manual). I put them all together for convenience (even though they should probably be separate documents), so I'm sorry if the page numbering gets funky!

What is Ultimate Hyper Fantastic Magical Girls Role Playing Game?
UHFMGRPG is a lightweight (ish) tabletop role playing game like Dungeons and Dragons. It's designed to be easy to learn, fun to play, but still have a lot of meaningful choices to make as a player. Its theme is the classic anime trope of Magical Girls! If you like flashy, exciting battle sequences with magical girls fighting monsters, this game is for you!

What will I need to play?
When I play tested this, we played online using Roll20, so I guess you don't really need anything, but if you want to play in person, you need a standard set of playing cards, 6-sided dice (at least 10), and paper and writing utensils for character sheets. It's nice to have things like miniatures, maps, etc., but these are not necessary to play (or can be improvised with whatever you have lying around).

What sets UHFMGRP apart from other Tabletop RPGs?
Fun mechanics: The biggest innovation in UHFMGRPG is its card system. To use your special abilities, you need to discard a card, but you can also use cards to empower your abilities, so there's a real dilemma on how and when to use your cards. It's also a lot of fun to use and empower abilities since players are encouraged to shout out the name of their abilities (just like in an anime) and when empowered, it just gets better. One of my favorites is an ability called "Final Strike" which has the special ability of allowing all players to contribute to the empowerment of it. Nothing beats shouting out "ULTIMATE, HYPER, EPIC, MEGA, FINAL STRIKE!!!" and dealing massive damage to an enemy!

Fun Dice: UHFMGRPG uses a dice system very similar to "Betrayal at the House on the Hill". I like how this feels better than a lot of other dice systems since it produces pretty consistent results, there's some randomness, but not as much as a D20 system like Dungeons and Dragons. When you roll exceptionally well, it feels really special, and when you roll really crappy, it's still kinda fun. The only downside to this, is that it's best to play with the dice from "Betrayal at the House on the Hill", but normal 6-sided dice can be used.

Hard, meaningful choices: There are so many good choices for character selection and ways to play each Aspect (sort of like a class) that it becomes a challenge to determine which set of choices is the "best" and no two characters will likely be the same. There are a lot of awesome abilities and perks to choose from and how and when to use these all matters!

No game is perfect, what's wrong with this one?
UHFMGRPG does a great job at being a Magical Girl battle simulator. Combat feels great and it plays nicely as a game. Where it lacks most as a system is handling what happens outside of combat. There's just not a lot of applicable mechanics for the day-to-day life of the Magical Girls. This was rarely, if ever a problem when I was GMing, I had great players though, who like to roleplay and it all worked great even without hard defined mechanics. But, my only regret at this point is not capturing that aspect of the trope in more solid terms.

The free playtest beta is available for a limited time. I really hope to create something that any RPG player might be proud to have on his or her bookshelf. If I get good feedback, I plan to hire an artist, and work on making this into a real guidebook. I don't know how all the pieces will fall into place yet, but I don't want the hard work I've put into this to be wasted.  If you would like to help support this endevour, I have placed it as "Pay What You Want", but do not feel any pressure to donate.

If you have any feedback, please email me at ultimatehypergames@gmail.com

Monarchies of Mau Core Rulebook

Monarchies of Mau Core Rulebook:

Monarchies of Mau Core Rulebook
Publisher: Onyx Path Publishing

Before we were six. Now we are one. We differ on many points, but on these we agree: Always trust our instincts, always reward loyalty, and always pounce upon minions of the Unseen. Without these tenets, we are no longer worthy of the adoration of Man. 

Monarch Trillani Persian von Mau, deceased

Cats have inherited the world, unifying their six fractious monarchies after untold centuries. These cats have been uplifted to use tools and language, and they seek to rediscover the ruins of the Old Ones. Some have learned to use the leftover technology of humanity, but they believe it to be magic given to them by their lost worshippers. Others seek to create a cohesive nation, using Precepts of Mau agreed to after years of political conflict. The world is dangerous and mysterious, but the instincts of a good cat will always be true.

Some highlights of Monarchies of Mau include:

  • An evocative and mysterious setting that’s both family friendly and deep enough to create compelling stories.
  • A traditional fantasy rules system redesigned for streamlined play and easy creation of heroic cats, with an emphasis on cooperation and action over competition and violence.
  • A variety of callings and houses that give access to several fun and interesting secrets.
  • Rival species to interact with, like dogs and mice, along with terrifying and dangerous monsters that roam the landscape.

Will you trust your instincts?

It's a game where players declare what's most important to their characters and see it challenged through play.

Mythic Hero - Fantasy RPG

Mythic Hero - Fantasy RPG:

Mythic Hero - Fantasy RPG
Publisher: Randwulf Publishing Inc.

Mythology tells us of heroes of all sorts. We read of Merlin and Arthur. We hear about how Beowulf fought Grendel. There is Cu Chulainn, Achilles, Lancelot, Robin Hood, Perseus, Mulan, Penelope, Finn, Hiawatha, Boudica, and many, many more. Heroes come from royalty or everyday life. Their backgrounds vary as much as they do. And everyone fantasizes about being one at some point in life. It is every child's dream to be a hero. And so now we have a role-playing game that lets us all become heroes... Mythic Hero!

Using a unique personality profile system and a percentile-based rules system, Mythic Hero comes complete with a new world system that has its own unique monsters and villains, largely based from European mythology.  With a combat system based in real-life Western Martial Arts (the writer founded the Academy of European Swordsmanship in 1994, Canada's oldest Western Martial Arts / HEMA school), Mythic Hero offers a realistic, yet simple method of doing combat.

And there is wizardry for the thinking player! Magic is based on the physical, the mental, and the spiritual; each offering something fun to choose from.  And with training and practice, one can learn any skill and combine careers, whether magical or mundane.

Come! Join the world of Mythic Hero!

Morning by Jackson Tegu

A meditative story game about sustaining a calm moment.

2-5 players, 20 minutes.

On a crisp morning in the Autumn a woman is going for a walk with her two dogs. The sky is growing lighter, and the long grass is bent with frost. In the distance there are fences and other farms.

In this pastoral game, players use prompt cards to focus on specific details of a morning walk. The mechanics are simple. The moments tend toward beauty. 

.

“The storytelling equivalent of watching Bob Ross paint.”

-Chris Angelini



“An opportunity to connect with the placid, the serene. To remember that things will pass, and moments’ worth are not just in their rote content, but often in their textures or other ephemeral qualities.” 

-Amber Dean



“Less can be really, really pleasant.”

-Bryant Stone

At The Crossroads, Dark And Low

At The Crossroads, Dark And Low:

At The Crossroads, Dark And Low
Publisher: Cloud Monster Press

About the Game

At the crossroads, dark and low,
Where city breaks against the field,
A Lantern glows and doesn’t glow.
And there, beneath, they pray, they kneel,
The ramblers, saints, and devils, all,
Their hearts, and eyes, and hands aflame.
The one who soars is like to fall,
But takes what’s given all the same.

- excerpt from an ancient folk song

"At The Crossroads, Dark And Low" is a tabletop roleplaying and storytelling game of cloaks, daggers, and, lest we forget, unspeakable powers granted to a select few by a mysterious, seemingly amoral entity for reasons unknown.

Mechanically speaking, it is a fairly heavy hack of "Errant," another Cloud Monster Press product designed by yours truly. "At The Crossroads, Dark And Low" inverts its progenitor's core resolution mechanic and turns it to darker and stranger purposes. It is a game about competent, driven people possessed of incredible supernatural gifts. It is, more importantly, about how they choose to apply those gifts and the consequences, complications, and implications that follow their actions.

Features

  • Comparatively rules light system focused on narrative. The core resolution mechanic is not about success or failure but, rather, narrative control.
  • A loose and weird cosmological framework.
  • A simple, narrative-centric approach to Unspeakable (and Speakable) Powers. Players can manipulate Mind, Matter, Time, and Space to their hearts' content, but power this great comes with costs, risks, and, if you're so inclined, responsibilities.

Revenant World

Revenant World: Revenant WorldPublisher: Vagabond Pen and Paper

The gods are dead, the New World Order is up and running, and trans-dimensional portals are interrupting morning commutes. Welcome to the city of Polis. Revenant World is a tabletop role-playing game where you and a group of friends will take on the roles of Vagabonds-- rebellious adolescents from Polis just doing their best to navigate the treacherous halls of high school as well as the alien worlds of the Microcosmic Plane.



Boasting a robust, fast-paced combat system, freeform crafting mechanics, and a unique two-part Class and magic system that gives rise to 1,920 unique abilities, Revenant World is your portal to a vibrant science fantasy world filled with undead gods, uptight law enforcement, fearsome monsters, and teen angst in outer space.



What could go wrong?



Revenant World uses a conflict-resolution system inspired by the Powered by the Apocalypse family of games, where players roll all the dice and the GM makes reactionary moves, keeping the flow of gameplay fast-paced and dynamic.



Players have lots of control over how to make their character, with 8 races, 10 Jobs (Fighter, Thief, Witch, etc.) and 12 Arcana (Heat, Storm, Soul, etc.). Jobs and Arcana combine to make 48 unique character Classes, each with their own list of magical abilities that allow them to shape the world in unpredictable ways by combining a magical effect from your Job with an elemental supply from your Arcana.



Leveling up offers a lot of freedom as well. When you've earned the requisite XP, you can choose to spend it on an upgrade to health or stamina, or on a new ability of your choice. You can also save XP to use during gameplay for a variety of effects.



Players also have access to the open-ended Synthesis mechanic, a crafting system that allows them to fuse mundane objects into useful tools and weapons, prioritizing the combat Manuevers they want to favor. Do you want to be better at hitting one enemy really hard, or hitting all the enemies at once? Grappling or disarming? Dodging or blocking? Whatever skills you prioritize when crafting your gear, the GM will choose which other skills you have to sacrifice in return.



To play, you'll need this manual, 3-5 people, a set of polyhedral dice, some pencils, and a set of playbooks, which can be found here.

The 227 page manual contains rules and tips for players and GMs, dozens of full-color illustrations, and 2 sample scenarios to get you started.
