NEW ARRIVALS
ROSS RIFLES, DUNDAS WEST GAMES
150 pages. Perfect-bound softcover A5, full color. New.
Ross Rifles is a tabletop role-playing game set in the Canadian trenches of the First World War. From 1914-1918, Canada played a major role in assisting the British Empire in winning one of the fiercest wars in history. But victory came at a cost. The First World War took the lives of over 60,000 Canadians. It was from this vast entanglement of international alliances, leaders, and agendas that Canada emerged as a modern fighting force on the brink of Nationhood. In Ross Rifles, you play as soldiers from the Canadian Expeditionary Force struggling to survive the horrors of trench warfare during the First World War. Sent overseas to fight for crown and country, your characters will make personal sacrifices in the name of Canada.

Why Not Kickstarter?
Many reasons!
Slowfunding and pre-orders are both less stressful and more flexible method of crowdfunding projects. Without a hard deadline or a risk of complete failure, there's a greater chance of projects being finalized - on a much more creator-friendly timeline.
Fiends & Fortunes is in active development. Buying in gets you the ashcan version and every subsequent update at a reduced price. Currently there's just the one funding goal - for interior art - but depending on how the project develops, there might be more.
Into the Black has had a MAJOR overhaul!
INTO THE BLACK is a sci-fi roleplaying game where one or more players take on the role of Management and presents a futuristic universe of corporate oppression and class warfare, while others take on the role of Freelancers and create characters to struggle and survive in that universe. Players must navigate and explore a strange and wonderous galaxy while deeply indebted to an interstellar corporation. Life among the stars, then, is about treading the razor's edge of struggling for survival and finding joy and love where one can.
In this 160-page omnibus edition book, you'll find:
Six alien and humanoid species to choose from!
Rules for zero-level funnel character creation, to quickly generate disposable gig-economy corporate assets to grind beneath the wheels of necrocapitalism.
Rules to create and recruit your crew, to struggle to survive together in a vast, beautiful and uncaring galaxy.
A robust d20 + d6 conflict resolution system derived from Into the Odd.
Rules for creating and upgrading your spaceship; a requisite money-sink in order to eke out a meagre living.
A die-drop spatial mapping system to quickly and interestingly generate and populate entire subsectors of space.
Tables, charts and generators to create alien species, new worlds, strange cultures, ubiquitous corporate interests and other factions.
