Hunger is everywhere in the 1930s Great Depression. The souls of humanity grow weak as they starve. And you are the only hope for a world about to be consumed by darkness.

Beneath the midway lights of the Crossroads Carnival, you and your fellow performers are drawn into a battle between light and dark. You wander from one desperate town to the next, struggling to keep your humanity and save the souls of the rubes. But the cost is high, and personal deals with the darkness itself may be the only way to save others.

Crossroads Carnival is a Powered by the Apocalypse game of outcast souls striving to save a world that hates and fears them.

The year is 1956. A decade ago, Earth received its first confirmation of extraterrestrial life when the spaceship Ocean-Seeker crashed to the ground. Since then, two more ships came from the planet Sun-Lost, trying to rescue those who were stranded. You were on one of those ships. All rescue missions have failed.

Welcome to Walnut Hills, a quiet suburb near DC where you and the other members of your alien Cell live in human form, trying to avoid suspicion. You look like an upstanding member of the community: you go to work, you chat with your neighbors, maybe go to the Sunday potluck and talk about the government’s new alien eradication policies (wouldn’t want those scary aliens taking over our planet, who knows what they’ll do?). But when no one’s looking, you’re sneaking through the alien testing facility to release your captured family, or maybe you’re trying to infiltrate the Alien Eradication Unit in what the humans would call “covert ops”. Every day the world becomes more dangerous. How far are you willing to go to stay alive?

Passing is a PbtA tabletop role-playing game where you play shapeshifting aliens in the suburbs of 1950’s America.

The Royal Navy has been hot on your trail for weeks. The Pirate Kings want your head after you pulled off a heist that.. ahem, relieved them of a sizable amount of treasure. You know you should feel worried, but all you see—looking out across the deck of your ship—is the vast blue ocean. The salt air brushes against your face, softer than any lover you’ve ever had. You can’t imagine feeling more free.

Your crew might be a strange group—and you can’t say that you trust them completely—but at a moment’s notice they’re ready to sail through monster-infested waters or scale a corrupt noble’s castle walls. Pirates, through and through. Each of them ready for anything.

And you’ve got secrets of your own! Perhaps you are an escaped noble, fleeing from the burden of responsibilities. Or maybe a mechanical construct, given life by a cruel master. Either way, it’s fair to say that the night-black void orb you acquired at the last port may have an effect on your health.

No matter. There’s adventures to be had and treasure to plunder. Sail on, me ‘earties! Yo ho!

Rapscallion is a tabletop roleplaying game in which you play a rambunctious crew of pirates, testing their luck against the unpredictable winds of Fate.

Good evening, Doctor.

We’ve got an FLK with PFH showing bilateral greenstick fractures in Two, a couple of puppies digging for worms on a GOMER in Five, and the Chief wants to talk to you about your charting. Oh, yeah. Your daughter also left a message saying she needs someone to pick her up from practice; I guess your ex forgot to show up.

Where shall we begin?

Life, death, and all the stress that happens in between. The Ward is a Powered by the Apocalypse game of medical drama, comedy, and tragedy inspired by shows like ER, House, and Scrubs. Players take the roles of doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals fighting the good fight against the forces of chaos, juggling life and lives while trying to remain human in the face of incredible stress.

The Acute Care Edition is a preview version of The Ward: it contains everything you need to try the game. A future release of the full game will contain more resources and playbooks.
