The City is more complex than any one person could ever imagine. Innumerable places and people. A brick and stone ocean of buildings stretching as far as the eye can see.
‘Avenues & Alleyways’ brings to life a whole host of new places for exploration and adventure.
The miserable burghs of Grime Rain Stacks and Skank Hill.
The decrepit technology of DarkCross Railway Yards and Trench Locks.
The fading majesty of the Eastern General Infirmary and the Grand Emporium.
All of these, and many more, are sketched in vivid detail, complete with detailed locations and samples of the varied and curious denizens who inhabit them.
Welcome to more of The City.
The magi of the Order of Hermes are not the only scholars and artists in Mythic Europe. In the Greek and Muslim lands, traditions of learning stretch back unbroken over centuries, while scholarship has emerged from long centuries of neglect in the Latin West with great vigor. From parish schools to the new universities, learning and creativity are everywhere.
Nor is this learning entirely theoretical. Doctors can cure many illnesses, and preserve the health of their charges. Natural philosophers can manipulate substances in a way that appears magical to the ill-informed, and gain some hints as to the future from the positions of the stars. The natural laws of Mythic Europe are very different from those of our world, and many strange things can be achieved by those who understand their secrets. Artists create the great cathedrals, but also more humble paintings, songs, and sculptures. The greatest of them draw the attention of the supernatural, and become part of the legends of the land.
Art & Academe provides background on the academic life of Mythic Europe, and rules for activities reaching from the astrology and alchemy of the natural philosopher to the regimens and treatments of the medic, from university disputations to the creation of masterpieces of art. Art & Academe takes your saga to the very limits of medieval scientific knowledge.
DRAGON TILES add a new dimension to boring miniature tiles...literally. We've combined 2D tiles with 3D props, allowing you to create a visually stunning tabletop for your players quickly and easily. This set includes 28 large 8"x8" tiles and enough 3D props to stock your dungeon. All props are designed for the novice card modeler and can be built in minutes. All art is created by award winning artists and is 300dpi for maximum detail.
Magic seethes beneath everyday affairs. Turn a ways, and wander into a Pocket Kingdom. Many are Aware, but a few are called to be Legends: epic heroes who fight evil with strength, cunning and raw idealism.
Elf, dwarf, gnome and human Legends use the mystic Spheres to defend their beliefs. Their quests turn them into avatars of magic or send their swords against Da’ath, Lord of the Abyss. Idealism is more than just a buzzword - it’s the source of magic.
ORX is the role-playing game about...orcs. Oh no, not another game about the most over-used bad-guy in all fantasy! Yep. But this isn?t your typical "let?s play the bad guys who aren?t so bad" or "hey, look, a detailed non-human culture" game. Heck no, this is about getting down, dirty and humorously nasty. And it isn't your father's RPG.
ORX is about tragedy, willpower, inevitability, strength, and the dark comedy of existance. Seriously. You play orcs. Orcs are doomed from the moment they are born. Fated to die. Hated by the gods. On the wrong end of everyone's shit-kickers. Can you stay one step ahead of fate and death, and for how long? Whether you explore it through slapstick humor or gothic drear, these primary ideas are built right into the central mechanics of the system.
ORX is quick and intuitive to pick up and start playing in five minutes, and comes complete with a bad sense of humor. Yet the game is robust enough to easily handle long-term play...it was designed for it, in fact! This isn't just a "when we're not in the mood to play something else" one-shot comedy game. Many of the finer (and funer) points of the system don't kick in until there has been some long-term play, and a more serious game of Orx has its own benefits to offer.
ORX mechanics are unique, developed over four years of playtesting. They allow you to give your character anything as a skill or trait without having to worry about game balance, because the rules balance it for you. Likewise, you can use Stat and any Skill in any situation without disrupting the balance of play. Oh sure, I know you've heard that before, but such systems usually fall back on gamemaster fiat or situational concerns to decide whether it is allowable. We don't.
Have your Primitive games been lacking a certain something? Have you asked yourself what kind of adventure will get my tribe of cave-dwellers out of this rut? Have you wondered what sort of enhancements you can make to your game to make it more exciting? Record of Threats is the book you've been missing. Included within these pages are rules governing dinosaurs, monsters, equipment, new qualities, and adventure ideas like you've never seen.
This product is not a complete game; it is supplemental materials for the game Primitive. That being said, a lot of the information here is presented in a way that you can use in other games and stories. This book is merely an idea repository; the contents are what you make of them.
a/state is the first release from new British RPG company Contested Ground Studios. The game itself is set in The City. Isolated from the outside world, it is a place riven by horrors, plagued by inhumanity and crushed under the weight of its own population. The City is a sepia-tone world, lit by guttering gas-lamps and flickering filaments. Rotting concrete tower blocks and dank brick tenements house the millions who work, live and die in The City. Ghostfighters, Scops, Lostfinders and Flowghosts make their way along the winding streets and stinking canals. a/state is about hope in a dark place. About characters who bring hope to themselves, their families, their friends...

More Info
At the dawn of World War II, a handful of people called "Talents" manifested strange powers that set them apart from the rest of humanity. With these powers man took to the air without mechanical aid, explored the depths of the sea without life support, and touched the rim of space.
To others, Talents seemed godlike in their power. Only the Talents themselves, pushed to the front lines of every battle, knew the truth - that these newfound powers seemed pointless in the face of death.
That their power set them apart from family, friends and enemies.
That it made them more, and yet somehow less.
These fears, like the power that feeds them, are godlike in their scope.
Welcome to GODLIKE. You are larger than life — but the War is larger than you.
The long-awaited, highly anticipated GODLIKE Game Moderator's Screen is ready for your game!
With a beautiful painting by Samuel Araya (Wild Talents, Unknown Armies), the GODLIKE GM Screen is the perfect centerpiece to any game table.
And the three-panel interior is chock full of every rule and chart a GM needs to run a fast, thrilling GODLIKE adventure.
The ultimate sourcebook on the German Talent programs, detailing their grim research, their training, and the Reich's mastery of the dreaded Übermenschen! The Nazi Parahuman Program 1936-1945 details the machinations of RuSHA SA: Rasse-und Siedlungshauptamt Sonderabteilung. RuSHA SA was the Nazi program to exploit its super-human population, called Ubermenschen (literally "Over-men" or "Super-men"). It sought to create them, harden them, and send them to war against the Allied super-human population, called "Talents". Like much of the Third Reich, its history was marked by cruelty, corruption, deception, and intrigue.
It is July 1943, and the greatest naval armada the world has ever seen is driving through the night toward Sicily. Before it gets there, a small team of American Talents and veteran British soldiers has a critical mission to accomplish behind enemy lines, alone in a strange land and surrounded by hostile armies - they must find and neutralize "Mjollnir," a superhuman German Ubermensch capable of sinking the mightiest Allied ships with a glance.
Written by Godlike, author Dennis Detwiller (multiple Origins Award winner for Delta Green, Delta Green: Countdown, The Hills Rise Wild and more), Talent Operations Command Intelligence Bulletin No. 2: Talent Operations Groups is a player-oriented manual detailing the training, tactics, weapons, and experiences of superpowered Talents caught up in the grimmest war in history.
Unlike moderator-oriented sourcebooks, the Bulletin is meant for every player in a Godlike game. It answers the first questions that players have about Godlike's setting: What?s the war like for Allied commandos in the 1940s? How are they trained? What?s the difference between the M1 rifle and the M1 carbine? How do the Germans patrol and attack? How do I call in artillery when I need it? What does a typical Talent Operations Group commando carry into combat?
Written from the perspective of the very soldiers and officers who train the Talent commandos, the Bulletin immediately immerses players in the world of their characters.

Rift Runners make the best pay!
Some have claimed that beyond the great Motarian rift there are other universes yet to be discovered. Universes with untapped resources waiting to be exploited by the galactic mega-corporations of the Alliance. The mega-corps are keenly aware that discovering the secret to rift travel could ensure their financial prosperity into perpetuity and they are willing to pay handsomely for it. Fortunately for them there are no shortages of Battlelords who are willing to risk it all and enter the rift.
These "rift runners" are paid obscene amounts of money by their corporate sponsors to enter the vortex and make scientific measurements of phenomenon. Not all of them return, but not all of them meet their demise either. The truth is there are other universes beyond the rift and the truth is they have already been discovered. Discovered by those who never return. Trapped on the other side. Trapped beyond the rift.
