The Trial of Poland is a game that focuses on the rise of the Solidarity movement in Poland n 1980, from the point of view of the established powers confronted by a legitimate and ultimately existential threat. Each of the characters is a historic eastern bloc leader and, in his own way, a terrible person. The game hinges on a single decision—will Poland be invaded? This is an experimental freeform game.

But now the Scryers of the Court of St. James foretell the emergence of the greatest threat to the Empire since the demon Napoleon a century before. A new power is rising from beyond the realms of the...

This pamphlet is meant as an alternative to the 3d6-in-order method of character generation. It produces characters with the same spread of stats, but in a way that incorporates background, history, and player choice (you get to pick a career), which is pretty good considering the game hasn't even started yet.

The Book of Tigers is the result of a thought experiment, which was in turn thought-provoked by an excellent article on the Monsters and Manuals blog. Since humans have transcended their ecology, instinctual fears (darkness, tigers) have become increasingly irrelevant. Big predators simply couldn't keep up with our rapid development of communities, communication, and symbolic intelligence. Tigers are one of the original predators of humanity. But despite killing 373,000 people between 1800 and...

It's common knowledge that the theory of spontaneous generation has long been debunked in favor of the theory of evolution. We no longer believe that river mud spontaneously forms mice, or that rotten meat literally gives birth to maggots. It's a shame, really, because that interpretation of reality would fit well with fantasy. A lot of modern fantasy seems to require powerful creator gods, mad wizards, or momentous deeds to justify the spontaneous genesis of a creature. So while it's not hard...

It uses these elements to drive characters to their own ruin and leaves them broken and used by those who can’t care enough for the human condition. You see, Faeries are real and they’re all around us. They’re in the house when you can’t find your keys that you’re certain you put down on the counter.
