Experience Horror in Kingdom: An #OSR Adventure

Posted by Grim Jim on

We had a soft-launch before, but here’s the final version!

An OSR (Old School) adventure, primarily for use with Lamentations of the Flame Princess.

Kingdom is a ‘high concept’ adventure of torturous and fearful monstrosity, set in the bone-white chalk hills of Southern England. It brings the horror back to the underground, where the players cannot trust even their senses, and every step could be their last.

Kingdom is an emotional kick in the balls, filled with crawling horror, Roman curses, tribal inhumanity – and worse.

#TTRPG #FreeRPGDay – Machinations of the Space Princess Quickstart!

Posted by grimachu on

Welcome Spacefreaks!

We’re relaunching our successful Machinations of the Space Princess old-school swords-and-scifi game, and you’re invited!

For the time being this is FREE and includes a psychedelic and surreal space adventure of time-loops and cosmic pizza, as well as quickstart rules so you can try out the game for yourself, as well as pregenerated characters in case you want to start some trouble right away!

This is also the start of our forthcoming Machinations-Media project, which will present a monthly ‘zine supporting the worlds of Machinations of the Space Princess over the course of a year. More details on that are forthcoming soon!

Lastly, this is our first full attempt at finding ethical ways to use AI, strong human oversight that aims to use AI to assist the disabled and neurodivergent in completing projects and achieving a little independence, or helping older creators to keep working and earning.

We hope people will support this aim, and the use of AI in this context, helping rather than replacing human beings.

#TTRPG – Vigilantes for Shadowdark RELEASED!

Posted by grimachu on

The OG GM Presents…

Shadowdark Vigilantes is the 2025 spiritual successor to the Wretched Vigilantes campaign setting I created in 2023.

In this game, you will be thrust into a gritty and dark version of Fresno, now infamously known as Crime City!

Within this setting, the players will assume the role of antiheroes, vigilantes and retired characters from the golden age who are thrust into action to defend their city from the Crime Lords.

The Crime Lords were once a squad of heroes known as Vanguard who became corrupted and now terrorise the very city they once protected.

In this Shadowdark world, the player characters will embark on a journey of redemption and self-discovery. They must confront their personal struggles and overcome the terrible secrets of their past to save the city from itself.

#TTRPG – RaC & Ruin 2 – House Rules & Goblins

Posted by grimachu on

GET IT HERE

R&R is a set of supplementary material and options for ‘Old School’ games, with a bunch of innovations and choices to make it more fun and playable for more modern players. Inspiration is taken from the Rules Cyclopaedia, Old School Essentials and Lamentations of the Flame Princess amongst others as well as from the comic strip Feral & Foe from 2000AD.

In R&R you play monsters, and those monsters are all defined by ‘Race as Class’ or R&R (clever, eh?) In Palladium terms that makes them RCCs, or ‘Racial Character Classes’. I’ve done this precisely because I hate ‘Race as Class’ and I want to challenge myself as a designer to make them more fun. I also hate the de-emphasis on race (more properly species) in modern iterations of RPGs, and so have made this as a kneejerk reaction to killjoys who seem to think a gnome shouldn’t be statistically distinct from an ogre (and by extension, I suppose a mouse shouldn’t have different statistics to a mammoth).

These are the rules options and changes I suggest for playing R&R, along with rules for playing kobolds and some supplementary odds and sods with some updates to the lore.

(other than goblins) I’m going to nickel-and-dime you with, possibly collecting them all into one big tome at the end of the exercise with properly commissioned art.

Right now I have to pay for a bunch of repairs on my house, so you’ll have to forgive me for
cutting corners here and there. A goblin’s got to make a dishonest buck after all.

We Were Munchkins RELEASED!

25 years ago, James ‘Grim’ Desborough and Steve Mortimer wrote The Munchkin’s Guide to Powergaming. Little did they know this would start an incredibly profitable chain of events for Steve Jackson Games.

Being young, stupid, and needing the money, the contract wasn’t exactly the best. In the intervening years, SJG has made millions of dollars from spin-off products while Grim and Steve have made a few hundred.

It’s rare to help create a hit in this industry and rarer still to profit from it!

Having consulted with their audience, the authors have concluded that we might as well make it possible for anyone with a pricked conscience to donate a modest amount if they enjoyed The Munchkin’s Guide to Powergaming or its many spin-offs.

This is mostly what this is, but it’ll also be a living document, updated with reminiscences from the writing of the original book and insights into aspects of it, such as The Cyberpunk Shopping Trip, Lard Sandwiches, and The Gun is Your Skill List.
