Blades ‘68 rips. All the history of Duskvol meets 60s retrofuturism, Cold War spy games, and industrialized paranormalism. It plays like driving a stolen autopod. I’ve been looking forward to the crowdfunder since the playtest and can’t wait to see everything Tim and Evil Hat have cooked up

It's 968 AC.
An artificial sun shines down upon Doskvol. Autopods cruise down rows of peaceful, prosperous houses. Beneath it all, strange actors and twisted conspiracies work their shadowy agendas.

Para quem sempre sonhou em jogar histórias épicas como a da Odisséia temos AGON. Já quem ama jogos com romance e ação, saiba que LÉSBICAS ESPADACHINS SEDENTAS vieram fazer seu coração bater mais forte.

Ambos os títulos foram lançados originalmente pela @evilhat.bsky.social
Imagem quadrangular com fundo dividido diagonalmente quase ao meio nas cores roxa (no canto superior esquerdo) e preta (canto inferior direito). Nela, há a imagem de dois livros de RPG no canto esquerdo com sua descrição ao lado, organizados da seguinte forma: Imagem 1: um livro de capa preta com o título AGON escrito em maiúsculas. Nesta capa, há a imagem de um elmo espartano. Texto relativo à imagem 1: voltando de uma guerra, um grupo de heróis se perde em meio a ilhas desconhecidas e habitadas por seres míticos, reinos lendários e vilões perigosos. Em AGON, esses aventureiros superam desafios e conquistam honra e glória enquanto buscam um caminho para casa. Imagem 2: Um livro de capa rosa-roxa onde duas mulheres se enfrentam cruzando espadas. A mulher da esquerda tem cabelo curto e preto, feições e pele latinas e veste uma espécie de uniforme branco de cavaleira ornado em dourado. Ela olha de forma séria porém suspeitamente interessada para a mulher da direita, que é um pouco mais baixa, negra, voluptuosa e com cabelos e vestes rosa ornadas em plumas pretas. A mulher negra sorri de maneira sedutora e confiante. Texto relativo à imagem 2: E sim, elas vieram para ficar (e para paquerar também). LÉSBICAS ESPADACHINS SEDENTAS é o jogo que celebra o amor, o poder e a existência da comunidade LGTBQIA+ em meio a duelos, triângulos amorosos, inimizades que deliciosamente viram algo a mais e aventuras.

💾⬇️ Quick reminder: We have a free, 40-page preview of Blades '68 that features the full playbooks of the Hull and the Swinger, plus the Crew playbook for the Hit Squad, and some further world lore.
Get a link to download by following the project here:
www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...
A triptych of images. The Hull is a robot with glowing red eyes wearing a blue work jacket and somehow managing a sullen expression. The playbook is described as "The soul of a condemned criminal trapped in a robot body." The Hit Squad shows an image of a pistol with a silencer and a playing card with a skull and viper on its face. A crew playbook for contract killers, discreet and skilled assassins. The Swinger depicts a woman with a bob haircut and bright pink sunglasses flashing a peace sign. Her dress is brown, pink and yellow. The playbook is described as "A wheeler and dealer - the life of the party."

Reading through @evilhat.bsky.social 's Stewpot before my first session today, and it occurred to me that "The Good Night's Rest" is a primo fantasy in name and I've never heard once in ~20 years of playing and listening to others play.

Episode 2: “Heroes of Legend”

It's Persephone Protocol vs Team Intergalactic! With only one spot left in the Hades Cup, it's all on the line. Will Persephone Protocol take the victory, or will the team get more than they bargained for...

Definitely recommended for history fans! It's a heavily anecdotal history book full of interviews with folks about Gen Con, interwoven into an ongoing narrative.

Worth it at full price, you obviously must get it at half price, especially with the proceeds going to charity.
