The Ghost Ship “Ol’ Bill” has been haunting the waters near the trade city of Arnesport. The West Rana Trading Corporation is willing to pay a small fortune to anyone capable of ending the Ghost Ship’s reign of terror, and proving it by returning an artifact lost when it first sank.

Players will be free to explore the city of Arnesport and surrounding regions, including mountains, forests, coastlands, and a handful of islands. Expect to meet flavorful characters, solve mysteries, and fight terrible foes! And, of course, there is the constant threat of the ghost ship Ol' Bill, just past the bay...

Dead Man's Song is written for Shadow & Fae 2e, and is highly compatible with most OSR games.

Be a thief that steals from castles using magic! A simple solo RPG that can also be played in a duet mode. Generate your journey through the castle using a deck of cards! Avoid castle denizens, open locked doors, fight the king's magical advisor, whatever you can think of in a castle is probably in there, along with plenty of good treasure, if you can imagine it.

Made in 2023 for the March Magic Jam over at itch.io! Available in German and English, and in three formats (digital-only single pages, A4 pages, and A4 bifold zine).

For the Appx. N Jam 2026 on itchio, based on the hit sequel to The Reliquary and the Radio (a book that does not exist) comes Battle in the Mind's Eye (another book that does not exist, but a game that does!).

The Fervent Hive is a buzzing, galactic-level hurricane. It baptizes those it touches in divine fire that burns and burns without smoke or flame. To go up against it is to go up against a god and Its
swarm,you'd know that better than anyone. There's an Eye at Its center, located in a place called Mercy's Point, Maine, back on Earth. The last time you went there with your crew, you were all that came back. The rest succumbed to Fever and became part of the Hive. If you want to put an end to Its madness, you'll have to go back there and find the Tonic you left behind. Hopefully, you won't run into any familiar faces.
Second chances don't come often. Don't waste it.

This game uses a dice system that I'm soft-launching through this book. I explain it on page 1, but I'll repeat it here:

Matches as victory: The metric by which success is measured is not by how many numbers in your pool reach a certain threshold, but instead by how many of them match. If you roll and none match, the roll fails. If two of three match, it succeeds. If all three match? That's a critical success.
Dice pool:
All rolls in this module use 3dX, where X is either 4, 6, or 8. Most rolls will be made with 3d6, but certain skills, items, and aspects of what you are will call for you to roll either 3d4 or 3d8 instead. It's easier for 3d4 to succeed than 3d6, and 3d6 than 3d8.

I hope you enjoy! I had a lot of fun making this.

You are an artist during the medieval ages and word has reached Captain* Larkin of your talents. They have approached you with a project to apply your skills to, if you would be so willing. But of course you would be willing, so silly of the Captain to think you might not be.  After all, it is going to be a Most Wondrous Book of Birds, and who better to illustrate it than your fine self? They have provided you with all the descriptions you could require and will leave you in peace to work on the masterpiece. It sounds like it should be an easy enough job, until you read the first description. It quickly becomes apparent that our dear Captain Larkin may have been mildly inebriated while recording their sightings. There is little else for you to do but attempt to decipher and imagine these creatures to the best of your ability before they return.

*not a real Captain, but few dare to challenge this

This is a simple roll-and-draw game for one or more people. Included are lists of descriptions of features to roll a six-sided dice on to draw from, or you can create your own - the more ridiculous the better! The aim of the game is simply to draw some bizarre medieval style birds, the sort you might expect to see in an illustrated manuscript.

Maybe it took too long, but finally it is your turn to reincarnate as a new entity. Unfortunately or not, your new status is at the hands of destiny. Maybe it will be irony what you turn out to be, or it could be retribution for the sins you ended committing in your past life.

About

Discover who you'll become and test your luck to see if your new life will be a smooth one or not. The game ends when you feel like it or your inspiration runs out!

Important: While written vaguely, some prompts of this game may make some people uncomfortable (after all, it’s a game about reincarnating and remembering mistakes you made in your past life, and having to deal with this information), so feel free to adjust/skip prompts or stop playing the game at any time you need.

You will need

1d6;

A coin or something that has two sides;

A pen and paper or something else to record your situation.

How many people?

Play alone or maybe have some friends together to see who you all become in the end.

How to fold it

You only need to print one page (!!!) and fold in half, and half again (4 page zine).

This was originally made for the Menu TTRPG Jam.

The thought behind it was I wanted to create a game that simulates stories with reincarnation and the interesting situations you can ended up with.

Easy-To-Learn, Fast and Flexible

The 6d6 Core covers everything you need to know about the 6d6 RPG including a Quick Start guide, character generation and advice for Game Leaders.

The core rules are not tied to any particular setting or genre. Instead, the book focuses on explaining the central game mechanics of the 6d6 RPG in a clear and easy-to-understand manner.

Potential & Advantages

The 6d6 RPG is a game about Potential and Advantages.

Potential controls how much a character can do, and ebbs and flows from round to round. Large actions or multiple actions in one round will leave a character short on potential for the next round. Do little for a round or two and potential is built up.

Advantages are a character’s individual strengths, tricks and knowledge that they can use in an action. Individually, advantages are weak but their power comes from how they are combined. A warrior may use Brawn + Weapon Expertise + Longsword to strike an opponent; a spacecraft pilot may use Problem Solving + Navigation + Astrophysics + Computer Use to plot a course; a Private Eye may use Intimidate + Quick Wits to make a perp talk.

The power and role-playing potential of the 6d6 RPG comes from what
is and is not covered in the rules. Potential is tightly defined because
it keeps the game fair and balanced. Advantages and how they are
combined is limited only by the player’s imagination and their ability
to justify a combination to the other players.

Epic adventuring in Ancient Greece

Zeus and the Olympic gods are meddling in the mortal world, choosing champions to battle the agents of the Titans.

Fame and fortune await the mortal champions but life is never simple
when Olympian gods are involved. There are deadly rivalries and feuds
dating back to the dawn of time while foreign gods are threatening the
borders of Greece and radical philosophers are claiming that humanity
does not need gods. Legendary monsters stalk the wild lands and the
border between the mortal world and the Underworld is not as impassible
as Hades claims.

A champion cannot expect a long life but they can live forever in legend. Through quick thinking, trickery, raw strength and force of personality a champion can make their name known across Greece. The gods choose their champions but champions make the legends.

In The Hands of the Gods

A complete setting for the 6d6 RPG in 196 pages of full colour. The book is printed on heavy-weight paper for durability and its ability to reproduce the strong colours need for over 80 pieces art inspired by Ancient Greek pottery, statues and mosaics.

Players can pick from any combination of 33 unique Character Paths as diverse as Sailor, Raised By Animals, Philosopher and Divine Ancestor. Additionally there are 15 Olympian Gods to serve, each granting their champions unique powers. For the Game Leader there over 20 Titans and Lesser Immortals plus 27 legendary creatures supported by 15 types of human opponent and over 80 adventure hooks.

Age of Legends requires the 6d6 Core to play.

Ancient World, Modern Values

Age of Legends is a re-imagining of Ancient Greece. Gender roles have been modernised and the myths updated to reflect the attitudes of a modern, more equal society. The champions are chosen by the gods from every part of society and, regardless of their background, are equal.

In Age of Legends a player is free to be the hero they want to be, whoever that is, in a society which accepts their choices.

You work at the Spirit Library where spirits are brought to you in jars. Your job is to catalogue and classify each spirit and label them with your observations. You will encounter evil spirits of old kings or tricky tree nymphs or even the smallest spirits of insects. 

This is a simple solo game played with a pack of cards, a coin and a
method to label the jars. It can be used as a supplement to generate spirits when playing other games. 

There is a template at the end of the game for you to print and use as a label.

Catalogue your lost items, things, memories, people as exhibits for the Museum of Lost Things.

Simply print out the cards provided, (or create your own) fill in everything you remember about the exhibit and it is automatically entered into the Museum's collection.

Not all lichs are the same.

A lich is an undead creature, typically a spell caster of some type that has who has used its magical powers to unnaturally extend its life. But not all lichs are the same.

How old are they? What species are they? Why did they become a lich in the first place?

All these aspects and more are covered in this volume of the CDG. The CDG (Creature Description Generator) range is designed with a fantasy setting in mind, but can easily be used for sci-fi or modern/horror settings.

The aspects covered:

• Age - What is the apparent age of the Lich? At what age where they transformed into a member of the undead? 

• Condition - Lichs can range from being almost living, to virtual skeletons and this aspect gives you a few suggestions as to what that condition may be.

• Death - When they became a lich, they had to die or have something similar to death applied to them. How did this occur

• Lair - Where does the lich call home? Is it a grand castle or do they dwell in a cave behind a waterfall?

• Personality - What sort of personality does the lich have? Are they, for a lich, kind or cruel and uncaring?

• Phylactery - The phylactery is one of the hallmarks of a lich as it can house their soul or power source. What is the nature of this vessel?

• Reason - Why did they become a lich in the first place? Was it through choice or was this state of undeath forced upon them from an angry god?

• Servants & Minions - Does the lich any servants to add it or minion to boss around and do its bidding?

• Species - The majority of lichs seem to be human males for some reason, but other species have found the path to lichdom as well, sometimes through choice. What species does the lich belong to?

• Quirks & Features - Not all lichs are the same. Many have unique quirks and features that help stand out and be more memorable. Roll once on this table to find out what that can be. It might be something about the lichs phylactery, the fact they are female pretending to be male or something else entirely.

A witch is a being that most people will be familiar with. But there are many types, not all of them have the green skin and pointed hooked nose often used to describe them in fairy tales.

There are several main aspects covered by this CDG, with a few of them having further sub-options to help flesh out the description of your witch

• Age - How old is the witch? Is she young looking or an ancient crone?

• Coven - How many other witches does she meet up with and what do they cover?

• Distinguishing or memorable Feature - What is the number one memorable feature of the witch?

• Familiar - Does she have a familiar and what is it?

• Home - Gives you and idea of what/where the witch calls home.

• Mentor/Teacher - Who taught the witch her skills and powers?

• Personality Type - What is the main personality of the witch?

• Requirements for service - What does she require for her services?

• Speciality - What is the witch speciality? Divination, potions or something else?

• Quirks/Rare Features - Anything else that is memorable or quirky about the witch. 

• Transportation - How does the witch cover long distance travel? Not all use broomsticks.

• Voice - How does she speak? What is her voice like?

Versión en español disponible: "CMT. Reglas Rápidas."

CMT. (Circo, Maroma y Teatro. in Spanish) is a rules-lite tabletop roleplaying game centered around the absurd and pulpy world of Lucha Libre, a place where masked wrestlers battle Monsters, the Media, and the Masses. The game is easy to play and easy to run, and the Quickstart includes everything you need in just 20 pages.

Creating your Luchador is fast, with a broad selection of Moves and Masks to be used in and out of the Ring. For example: “Grabbing” is a Move for capturing limbs, but also one for captivating minds.

Luchadores Level Up in the world by winning Main Events that they organize themselves, putting all their brains and brawn towards the horrific tasks of marketing, booking, and contracting the Rivals they’ll face. And not only are there opponents to defeat, but an Audience to please. The Successes of Rolls go towards either goal, and so a Luchador must choose and suffer either way.

This Quickstart includes:

• Rules for creating and playing as the Luchadores, masked performers of the art of close-quarters combat.

• Rules for the Referee running the Adventure, with guides to structure the Main Event they shall create for their Luchadores.

• 6 Luchador Types, 6 Patrons, 12 Moves, 9 Masks, 9 Rival Types, and 12 Items.

• Character Sheets and 2 Sample Pre-made Luchadores.

• A fully-written introductory adventure: “The Runt of the Litter”.

For as long as you can remember, the Fell Queen, a master of dark magic and foul curses, has ruled over your home in Oakenfells. When an old friend returns, you slowly recall your life before Oakenfells... that as a rebel and freedom fighter.

Armed with this lost knowledge, can you defeat the Fell Queen in her seat of power?

How to fold it

It is a Quarter Size Zine (8 page zine): You will have to print on both the front and the back (One A4 page!). Cut the page in the middle and fold the two pieces of the page in half. You can staple the pages or stitch it as you want.

This was originally made for the Dice Exploder Game Jam. After so long, I reworked it and now we have a 8 page version (from one A4 page!) with more clear text (I hope). This ttrpg was inspired by one of the mechanics of One Page Left, made by M. Kirin. In One Page Left, you had to use the dice to fight at some point, I thought it was nice so here we are!

Matter of Humanity is the second of Word Count Adventures games.

Word Count Adventures is a solo journaling game, and also a tool for writers, journalists, students, worldbuilders, or really anyone who enjoys writing. It doesn't matter if your text is a science article, school paper, character background or epic fantasy trilogy. The only thing that matters is word count at the end of your writing session.

The game converts your word count into a narrative of exploring and building a rich world by transforming its digits into Location your character finds themselves in, Challenge they face and Lore they learn.

To help form a consistent narrative, there are 10 Story Points you will gradually reach. They are based on a short story written by the game's author. Uncover and the story of two astronauts mining an entire planet, before they discover something unexpected.

Story Points are just the main pillars of the story, the rest is up to you do fill up. If you like, you can skip the prepared story and just travel and discover the world by yourself. This also makes the game replayable wtih two endings.

To help you spark ideas and fill the world with Locations and discovers local culture, there are multiple tables prepared.

To overcome the Challege your character faces you have to do some real-world editing in your text - fix a typo, make a dialogue better, or cut some unnecessary words. Tasks are easy by design - they are not supposed to be a burden, but an incentive to help you in your writing process.

A weird west style system neutral adventure. d6 system, slightly magic guns, and a color shifting canyon that can move under your very feet and drop you.

Some d&d characters are well-adjusted. Some start pyromaniacal lesbian cults in the jungle. This one is the second kind.

Vesper is level 10 and designed according to D&D 2014 rules. It can be used as a premade PC or plugged into a homebrew campaign as an NPC.

Meet Rue, my tragic butch playwright bard! They're a punk kid with a street theater background...but may also be transforming into a vampire. But hey, it was all because of an incident with the preschool biter...

Rue is level 1 and designed according to Pathfinder 1E. They can be used as a premade PC or plugged into a homebrew campaign as an NPC.

Marlowe, a tempest domain cleric, is the least cute fairy you've ever met. Born in the Feywild and adopted by a band of lesbian pirates, he worships storm deities, drowns sailors, and generally exudes edgy transmasc energy.

Marlowe is level 10 and designed according to D&D 2014 rules. They can be used as a premade PC or plugged into a homebrew campaign as an NPC.

The child of the world's first trans succubus and her devoted warlock, Ambrose Ebony has plenty of unearned confidence, almost no inhibitions, and a moral compass that points permanently toward the Abyss.  But he's somehow likable. Sorta.

Ambrose is level 3 and designed according to D&D 2024 rules. he can be used as a premade PC or plugged into a homebrew campaign as an NPC, but should only be used in a campaign operating on Forgotten Realms lore, as his origins in Graz'zt's domain are central to his narrative.  Ambrose also comes with three fleshed-out NPCs that can be used with him or on their own.

Garnet was raised in a matriarchal sea hag coven, and all they got was...shitty security culture. (Actually. Their flaw is literally that they brag about illegal things.) They lost their home and adoptive sister to pollution and now spend most of their time worshipping Umberlee, engaging in ecoterrorism, and being tragically butch about everything. Do not take them as an example for your anarchist organizing work, I beg of you.

Garnet is level 1 and designed according to D&D 2014 rules. they can be used as a premade PC or plugged into a homebrew campaign as an NPC, but should only be used in a campaign operating on Forgotten Realms lore, as their Umberlee worship is central. Additionally, their backstory contains stuff about death, human sacrifice, anti-transness, cult dynamics, climate change and human impacts on environment, and climate grief, so please check in with your table before using this character!

A low-level DURF adventure...

Somewhere out there is a ruined temple to Kiktek Nyne, the Poisoned Goddess. In its depths, a magical flame is fueled by human sacrifices provided by a band of scaled cultists. These so-called Tongues of Verdant Fire believe the flame is a symbol of their snake-haired goddess' pride. They are wrong. It is a dragon.

Brave adventurers shall enter this temple and seek its denizens, mysteries, and treasures. Perhaps they will even meet a dragon.

A Place to Rest

Coming into a random town after a hard day's travel, your party of adventurers ask the same few questions: Where can we sleep tonight? What's for dinner? Where can we get a drink? Is there anything happening in there? Who else is in this tavern? What's the specialty of the house?

Roll to Find Out

Taberna Celeris provides a dozen system-agnostic random tables to inspire or guide your creativity in a compact trifold format. Tuck this in your bag, and you can roll up a Bar, Inn, Pub, or Tavern on the fly in a few short minutes. Roll some dice to establish the name, owner, overall vibe, and notable other patrons, then give your new watering hole a little character through house specialties, amenities, quirks, and an idea of what's on the menu.

As a bonus, I included a handy chart to illustrate the differences in offerings between a Bar, an Inn, a Pub, and a Tavern.

Trifold Triptych #2

Written as a follow-up to Tabula Mortis, this is the second title in this Trifold Triptych. I'm plotting out a third title to round it out,​ so stay tuned. Designed to be printed double-sided and folded. I'll have physical copies available soon for a few bucks more, if you prefer purchasing something with mass.

This game is one of my go-tos for conventions. It's so quick and fun and easy! Plus, the worldbuilding behind the scenes can be as evocative and meaningful as you like. Truly one of my favorite TTRPGs!

I really enjoyed playing Scurry! I love that it encourages play one session at a time, with the possibility of a rotating cast of players and characters. The quick start goals make it easy to just get going with a game fairly quickly but there's also good guidance on creating your own goals.

There is some beautiful art and layout work inside, and is very fun even just to read through! Definitely recommend checking it out!

Played this at a con -- great game overall, terrific game for that format! Very evocative and thematic, and even accounting for late joiners and the little bit of general getting-to-know-strangers awkwardness we still managed to get through a full, satisfying adventure in about 2 hours!

The year is 690 CE

Five years ago, King Bridei III and his war-band of Hounds pushed the tyrannical Northumbrians south across the Firth of Forth.Yours is the first generation to come of age outside the shadow of brutal raids and exploitative vassaldom.

Dark memories stand behind us. Fortresses were overwhelmed and razed to the ground; sometimes ours, other times theirs. Our own king turning against old allies to make an example of them. A darkness still gnaws on our people, fostered by what was done in the name of survival.

And yet, there is new life in our world, if you can muster the hope to greet it. Now more than ever is the time to find your neighbours, renew old oaths, and bring our communities together.

Now is the time to adventure into Pictland!

It's basically the best book on the Picts ever written.

Dr Adrian Maldonado, National Museums Scotland.

A GORGEOUS, illustrated history book that works wonderfully as a sourcebook for life and culture at the time

Quinns Quest

Carved in Stone presents a comprehensive exploration of Pictish culture in the late 7th Century, across five key topics:

1. Contexts. Get up to speed on who the Picts were, and how we know what we know about them today.

2. Landscapes. Navigate through ancient Scotland first-hand, bounding between shaded temperate rainforests, open lush peat bogs, and wind-swept mountain peaks.

3. Kingdoms. Chart out where you live, learn about which languages you speak, and figure out who you can trust.

The Kingdom of Uvaluut has suffered from a great Cataclysm. But even after the blackest night comes a new dawn, and hope comes with it. And you are a guardian of hope, tasked with escorting a seemingly last living giant across the realm - to the promised haven. Make difficult choices, try to survive, and bond with the giant. Good luck, Caretaker.

Odyssey of the Giant is a solo tabletop role-playing game about hope, silence, and the weight of companionship. You are the Caretaker, chosen to walk beside one of the last Giants and guide them across a land broken by the Cataclysm.

Step by step, you will face encounters, shifting landscapes, and the ever-changing moods of the Giant who follows you.

Every choice shapes the road ahead, and every moment spent together can strengthen or fracture the fragile bond between Caretaker and Giant. Will you reach the promised haven? Or will the echoes of the Cataclysm claim you both before the journey’s end?

On 56 pages you’ll find:

• Comprehensive, but simple rules supported by a wealth of random tables,

• Four different types of giants, each with specific needs and skills,

• Variety of hexes, making your adventure unique every time,

• Day and night cycle,

• Beautiful illustrations by Marta Szu (just look at the cover!),

• And much more!

Time to be Otterly Adorable

It was a bright and cheerful morning when the Queen of England arrived and prepared to open the new Otter Sanctuary. But that all changed when the Clam Incident occurred. Now it’s up to you and your bevy of (possibly responsible) otters to manage the Queen’s subsequent engagements while she is recuperating, all without the public discovering the truth. There’s nothing for you all to do but keep clam and carry on!

Who is this game for?

This is a light-hearted one-A4-page game for 3 or more Otters aged 5+ and their Otter Handler. It is about creating otter chaos, having a good laugh, and is best suited for one-shot sessions. You will need up to two six-sided dice (2d6) per Otter and a way of recording each Otters’ Stats—Clam and Crown—which will alter throughout play.

A pawful of roll tables have also been included with suggestions for Otter Handlers like events to attend, humans involved, complications, and additional rewards for the Otters.

The magical kingdom of Coloria lives off its vibrant colors, but one night, the land gets cursed. Not only has every color disappeared, but so have all memories of them. Every rock, every leaf, every animal has lost its color and can’t even remember what it used to look like. You are the only mouse who can free Coloria from its misery and help it regain its vibrant colors. Only your creativity can chase away the dull gray. 

Art is a weapon, and your brush is your sword.

If you want to draw with colors that bleed through (like alcohol markers), I recommend printing the double-page spreads on a single A4 sheet and leaving the back side blank. If you like this fanzine, please show your work in the comments!

Chaos in Coloria is a coloring adventure book that can be played as a solo adventure using narrative game rules or in a group using the Mouse Knight rules.

“Chaos in Coloria” is an independent production and is not affiliated with Losing Games. It is published under the Mausritter Third Party Licence. Mausritter is copyright of Losing Games.

A city died mid-breath, and its queen still waits for someone to look back with her.

Three days past the last waystation stands a city that never finished dying. Every person, animal, and object in it has been turned to salt exactly as it stood on its last night, untouched by time or decay ever since. At its heart, in a palace no one has dared enter, its queen is still sitting where she stopped to look back.

The Salt Queen's Curse is a city point crawl using the rules of Cairn 2e but can be used for other OSR games with very limited changes needed.

Mnesis is a game about being a Monster who eats Memories.

This game is also an exploration of how our experiences and what we choose to hold onto, change us for better or for worse. It's about connection, and otherness, queerness and the ephemeral nature of our memories, which are represented by Candles.

As you light Birthday Candles, you will describe the Memories you consume. But as the flame burns ever lower, as the hot wax drips down onto your fingers and the heat becomes ever more palpable, you must make a decision. Is this Memory worth holding onto? Or is it simply fuel?

Mnesis is a 2-page GMless ttrpg, and can either be played Solo as a journaling game, or at a table of up to three people.

Depending on how you interpret Mnesis's prompts, this game may delve into some triggering or upsetting topics. I highly encourage use of safety tools such as the Traffic Light System, and discussing before play what topics are off limits for your table. 

Mnesis is intended to be played with candles, both short-lifed birthday candles, and three larger ones. Play responsibly, and if you're concerned about the risk of fire, instead use a short timer (4ish minutes per candle) or something else that degrades quickly like ice cubes.

Welcome to the Forge.

Advanced 2e: Backstage Documents is a comprehensive, living redesign of the classic 2e ruleset. The goal of this project is to take the foundational mechanics of the classic game and refine them into a clear, intuitive, and highly functional system—eliminating the historical ambiguities and subjective rules that often lead to table disputes.

This project offers a unique, behind-the-scenes look into the game design process by providing two distinct components:

• The Evolving Rulebook: Direct access to the actual playable mechanics being built from the ground up. This encompasses the complete restructuring of ability scores, races, proficiencies, and highly tactical class features.

• The Design Journal: A detailed, ongoing log that documents the exact reasoning, mechanical analysis, and overarching design philosophy driving every single change to the ruleset.

A Living Project This is an actively growing document. By joining the project, you gain continuous access to the files as they are regularly updated with new chapters, refined rules, and expanded journal entries.

Join the conversation and help shape the mechanics by sharing your feedback on the RPG Emporium subreddit.

A set of rules for creating and advancing characters from level 1 to 5. Has the Burglar, Cleric of Mitra, Fighter, and Magic User classes, plus backgrounds, combat rules, equipment, and spells. For the referee, there are lists of monsters, NPCs, and magic items suitable to challenge and reward your players during a campaign. These rules feature abilities for use when characters do things outside of combat and spellcasting. Along with advice for referees on how to use the available mechanics to craft rulings. Finally, a basic overview of how to bring the world outside of the dungeon to life is provided.

A 204-page RPG compatible with the Swords & Wizardry rules 

Rob's Note: This product represents a basic version of the rules I been using to run my Majestic Fantasy Realm campaigns for the past decade. It is the first in a series of supplements detailing various elements of the Majestic Fantasy RPG. It is also usable as a supplement for Swords & Wizardry.

In the days when man knew only the working of stone and fought for their existence against the orc and the goblin, the sky turned to ash and down fell the fiery mountain onto the land. The world tore open and the grey waters rushed in. Those who survived the impact were lost as boiling clouds rushed out in all directions leaving a wasteland in its wake.

The Mountain That Fell left a gift; magic. Near and far, those of learning and strong of heart discovered new powers to shape the world. In the desolation around the Smoking Bay the adventurous found viz, magic in physical form. And there was more, scattered amid the landscape were strange artifacts and stranger creatures that survived The Mountain That Fell. For a time men, dwarves, orc, goblins, and other races braved the dangers and fought each other in the wastelands. Then the elves came into Blackmarsh expelled the feuding races, drove the monsters out, and healed the land.

In the present day, many come to Blackmarsh to harvest viz, kill monsters, or seek the strange artifacts left by The Mountain That Fell. The only force that stands against the wilderness is the Blackmarsh Rangers. Anyone who is willing to defend the land and its people is welcome into their ranks. Powerful kingdoms outside of Blackmarsh are beginning to cast covetous eyes toward the land's riches. Will the adventurers of your campaign become wealthy and powerful? Or will their bones join the many that have sunk into the swamps?

Blackmarsh is a complete, ready-to-run setting for your campaign. It can be run as its own setting or an expansion of your existing world. Contained in Blackmarsh are 17 geographical entries, 78 described locales, and one detailed town: Castle Blackmarsh. Each entry provides one or more adventure hooks to use in your campaigns.

Additional content may be added once the $450 goal is reached. In the meantime, all backers get a new Adversary every time each of these small goals is surpassed.

What is a 'Villain Frame'?

You already know what a Campaign Frame is. Now, a Villain Frame is the same, except it puts a villain as its main point. The primary villain, in this case the NekroLych, becomes the Big Bad Evil of the campaign you port this Villain Frame to, and gives you everything you need to know about its backstory, motives, and plans to not only have a villain, but a compelling 3-dimensional villain your players will absolutely love to hate!

What does the Villain Frame include?

Within this product, you will find:

• A deep 3-dimensional, powerful villain for your players to want to hate.

• 3 powerful lieutenants Adversaries for the players to fight within Tiers 1, 2, and 3 of play (the NekroLych is made for Tier 4, of course!), each with goals they are looking to achieve!

• 25+ other Adversaries that follow a similar theme (easily portable to the Core Campaign Frames!) for ALL FOUR TIERS OF PLAY.

• Fascinating magical locations, each with its own Environment stat blocks.

• Guide on how to run the NekroLych and its lieutenants effectively, both in combat and during the story (with suggested goals for them to have in your world).

• Optional rules to add to your campaign, related to the NekroLych's origin, that will make your campaign feel unique!

How does the Itchfunding work?

Similar to other crowdfunding platforms, Itch allows me to create this campaign, but it also allows me the possibility of customizing the way I am doing it. So here I explain how it is going to work, being fully transparent about it:

1. As long as this campaign crosses the $100 milestone, backers will receive their money's worth.

   1. That's not all that is promised in the 'What does the Villain Frame include' section. It will only be 1 Adversary per extra $15 received until I reach 25 Adversaries. This will be unedited and with a simple layout until the $1500 goal is reached.

   2. This means I won't start actively working on this product until the $100 milestone is met.

   3. I have a short description of what I want all the starting 29 monsters to be like. This already streamlines the design process, allowing for faster results.

2. There is no enddate for the Itchfunding. I hope to fulfill the $1500 goal within the first month, but if that is not the case, it will keep going. 

   1. The final version of the product will only begin work once the $1000 milestone is met.

3. Crypt of the NekroLych releases on Jan 26th 2026 at $3. Every day, the price of the product increases by $1 until it reaches $15. The early bird gets the lower price!

4. Once the $1500 goal is met, Crypt of the NekroLych will remain at $15 for an additional month since the last purchase that crosses it. Afterwards, the Itchfunding finishes, and the product will change its price to $20.

5. Backers will be updated 2 times a month via their Itch account's email about the state of the project.

Add a Community Copy

For each sale of $18,75 or greater, I will be adding a Community Copy to the product page once we reach the final goal. 

Art Direction

The product will use a nightmarish black and white look and feel similar to the one that can be found in the images. NO AI ART WILL BE USED IN THIS. The look and feel might end up improving in the final version, but the tone will remain the same.

All art being used is royalty-free, with some editing allowed by its creators.

Where will the money go?

All money will go towards designing the product until the $1500 goal is met.

• 40% ($600) - Game Design and Writing

• 30% ($450) - Editing and Proofreading

• 16.7% ($250) - Layout

• 6.7% ($100) - Cover Art

• 6.7% ($100) - Marketing

Tomas will be in charge of the Cover Art and Marketing until the goal is met. If needed, someone else that Tomas can vouch for will be hired for additional art. Otherwise, Crypt of the NekroLych will use royalty-free art from the artists indicated in the 'The Team' section.

The Team

More members may be added if the campaign does well. These will be added as Stretch Goals during the campaign.

Editor: Celeste Tavarez Santana.

No AI Policies

Crypt of the NekroLych is MADE BY HUMANS, and no one partaking in any part of the process uses AI for any part of the project.

There's an old abandoned castle out in the woods, situated on a hill. It hasn't seen activity in over a century. Unless you call the neighbours' children, playing close by, activity. Beneath that castle, once, terrible rituals took place, among the myriad corpses interred in the vast catacombs. Now there's nothing left there but mud and bones. Or, maybe, there is. If you look hard enough.

A 1-Page Solo TTRPG of Frozen Solitude, Longing, and Gothic Horror

You have known since birth that one day your shift would come. Each season, a guard to keep it bound. Each guard, to ensure the door never opened. You were excited to test yourself and knew to heed your elders’ warnings. Do not listen to its honeyed words. Do not speak lest you reveal your own weakness. But the winter is long and dark and you are so alone. And the voice from behind the door almost feels like home…

Your Shift Begins…

It has been weeks since you started your shift as winter guard and there will be many more still before the spring guard takes over. The days are short and the nights are long, though both drag in the frozen solitude. The elders were clear that you must not speak to The Prisoner. But each day you find yourself drawn closer to the door, aching to learn more about whatever being is trapped within. 

A 1-Page Solo TTRPG of Self-Reflection and Gothic Horror

The world is thawing, and your time has come. You have made this ride before. Once when your daughters were still children, once when you were barely more yourself. Travel the spring pass into the ruins and feed The Warding Flame. You know your charge well and will brave your last ride as surely as your first. But the ghosts that follow you now wear such familiar faces. They whisper of things done, of things left undone, and make promises of second chances…

Your Ride Begins…

It seems like an eternity since you began your journey down the spring pass, and the fog rolling off the mountain shrouding the sun only adds to the uncanny feeling that you’re trapped in a state of perpetual twilight. You know that you are still bold, still strong enough of mind and body to reach The Warding Flame. But Their insidious murmurs have grown louder since your last ride and it's grown harder to ignore Their cloying presence. 

A 1-Page Solo TTRPG of Loss, Doubt, and Gothic Horror

How long has it been since your kith was last called upon? Has it ever been done alone? The autumn winds bring more questions than answers, but your task is clear. One of Them has entered the lowlands, and They must be bound by season’s end. The Clasp before you is too old, the pair to follow too young. You must ignore the phantom pains of your union and trap Them behind iron or stone. You must hide your seeds of doubt and loss, lest They make them grow…

Your Trail Begins…

The dry air of the ruin suppresses the passage of time as much as the silent padding of your feet, and you must consciously stop your rushing blood and racing thoughts from fighting the perceived contraction. You know the necessary ritual, have the tools that you need, but you are one half of a whole—a broken Clasp. And They can see your heartache and uncertainty as easily as you see the trail you currently follow. 

A Wretched & Alone game of familial oaths, dark obsessions, and the toxic bond shared between mortal rivals.

You are a woodsman, a member of an ancient order tasked with protecting your village from the great and terrible monsters that stalk through this world. Taken into your training by your parents as a child, you’re the latest in a line of woodsmen spanning back to the dawn of the sect.

But unlike your storied predecessors, you failed.

You lowered your guard, broke your vigilance, and left your mother and father to pay for your mistakes at the cruel hands of a beast. Of The Beast.

You vowed—to your sisters and brothers in the order, to the memory of your parents, to any of the gods willing to listen that you would track The Beast to the edge of the world to see it put to soil. That you would not stop until you had pulled the hateful spark of life from its chest and watched it dim in your hands.

One way or another, the monster will fall...

What is No Mercy For Monsters?

They were a person once, weren’t they? They could remember men and women, faces, young and old, running the gamut of expressions in their mind. They could even remember some of their names. Too many names. Was one of them theirs? How very curious. 

  Why had they never noticed these colors? So bright and so many in their shades and tones. Had there always been so many? And the scents, and the sounds, and the feeling of their feet on the ground. The feeling of their skin on their muscle on their bone. These they remembered, didn’t they? They tried to catch one of the chaotic memories skittering through their mind, something recalling all of these myriad sensations. But they came away from the rolling swarm of thoughts with only essences. Like a close friend describing a feeling rather than the feeling itself. 

  Friends. Those they remembered. Little sparks of light in a darkness so thick and clinging and intense that breaking free of it was like being born. 

They would find their friends. 

The Plane of Nightmares is a labyrinthine miasma composed of the multitude of fears and terrors of the creatures that inhabit the planes it touches.

There is no peace among the stars

The Empire of Mankind spans the galaxy, and is beset on all sides by the alien, the heretic, and the mutant. You are its finest warriors: gene-modified, cybernetically-enhanced, and armed and armored with its finest technologies. You will serve until you die a glorious death against the numberless, deadly, relentless enemies of man.

40,0XX: Space Warriors is a rules-lite, one-page TTRPG based on the 24XX SRD, CC BY Jason Tocci, under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. It pays homage to the popular tabletop wargame set in the grimdark future, but claims no affiliation with that game or any of its respective properties.  This game was made for the One Page RPG Jam 2026. 

Disposable Bags of Meat – Meatbags to its friends – is a two-stat horror TTRPG that feels like an action horror movie (or game, if that’s more your speed).

Players create characters like the Average Joe heroes of the greatest of horror movies: college students, working class spacers, tourists, and other people who, if you were placing bets, wouldn’t stand a chance in hell of surviving a horror story. But these characters do, and in Meatbags they can.

These characters don’t have any terrific skills or edges, but what they do have is Goals, Grit, and most importantly Luck. Those are the things that allow them to face horror and come out fighting.

How Does It Work?

Meatbags runs on percentile dice. The GM sets a target number, the player reminds them of all the clever stuff they did to stack the odds – careful planning, the setting of traps, a tasty bit of teamwork – and rolls the dice. Sometimes they’ll have a relevant skill to reduce their roll. They’ll still fail pretty often: they’re trying to barricade a door while a rampaging werecreature hurls a body the size of a truck against the outside, or hide from a phantom tracking the irresistible glow of their life force. This stuff’s not easy.

That’s where Luck comes in. Every Meatbag has a pool of Luck they can spend to turn failure into success. Until they run out. A character’s life is fully in the player’s hands, and every decision on whether to buy off a failure or hold that Luck for the next desperate situation counts.

What's in the Quickstart?

The quickstart contains all the rules you'll need to play Disposable Bags of Meat, plus a pre-written scenario - fight your way out of the world's worst high school reunion - and characters. 

It's free. What have you got to lose?

More Meat?
