Whitechapel – 5e Adventure
Go beyond medieval fantasy with 5th Evolution: Whitechapel by Limitless Adventures! Play as gaslight anti-heroes racing to stop the world’s most famous serial killer before he strikes again.

A PDF is $1o and you can pick up a softcover with PDF for $20.
Grimm
Welcome to Grimm, a card game that melds together the magical themes of the Grimm Brothers, the beautiful artwork of Arthur Rackham, and clever gameplay influenced by 1930s Princeton game-theory. Grimm can be played with two (2) to four (4) players, and, the gameplay is fully strategy-driven, utilizing psychology, trick-taking, and game theory.
A set that’s guaranteed to arrive for the holidays in US is $10.
Kingdoms & Warfare – 5e Suppliment
Kingdoms and Warfare introduces Domain-level play to your game, allowing players to become Regents running a Kingdom, Duchy, or Barony! Or a Church! A Thieves’ Guild! A Bard’s College! Whichever you choose, it’s your Domain. Your domain can take actions, raise armies, conduct espionage, and wage war!
Different kinds of Domains have access to different actions. A Thieves’ Guild is quite good at espionage, not so good at raising armies. So you may need allies because you will certainly have enemies. Characters are still adventurers, but now the stakes are higher. Now the dragon threatens your people and the dungeon contains the power you need to stop your enemies’ schemes!
While you’re away; your Lieutenant runs your domain (by your command) allowing you to continue adventuring as normal. Or as normal as anything is in this game.
A hardcover copy with PDF is $40. There are add-on miniatures, as well.
