New RPG Roundup: Build New Worlds in ‘Traveller’, Vaesen Adds More Horrors, DCC Adventures, and More
It’s time to roll the dice on new releases! Come check out this week’s batch of brand new tabletop role-playing games.
Vaesen: The Lost Mountain Saga
The Lost Mountain Saga is an epic campaign of five Mysteries for Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying. Players can expect to encounter ancient mysteries, old Nordic folk tales, social intrigue, and unspeakable horrors lurking in every shadow as they travel across the North and slowly uncover the truth.
An ancient stone has been discovered in the dark caves of the Mythic North. Protected for thousands of years by creatures no longer walking this earth, these sacred stones were never meant to be found. However, as is the nature of human curiosity and greed, exploitation soon begins with little regard for potential risks or consequences.
DCC RPG New Releases
Two Clan Tango is a new 20-page town and adventure set in the world of Dungeon Grand Prix for levels 3 and above! Two Dwarven clans, each founded by a pair of feuding brothers generations ago, claim a legally enforceable mining claim on the land the town of Suippes sits upon —both know what lies beneath.
Corvaxian Codex 2 expands on the content presented in the original Corvaxian Codex with more Occupations, more spells, a brand-new Patron, variant class, and more! Delve deeper into the history of the corvaxian. Learn about their origins and culture, and discover new creatures that share their home in the Frozen North.
Rise of the Drachenwolf functions as either a Funnel Adventure for 0-level corvaxian characters, or as a level 1 adventure where the band encounters the corvaxian for the first time. Journey to the neighboring firbolg village, face a dragon to reclaim a lost artifact, and build alliances to push back against the horde of the Drachenwolf!
The Ultraviolet Grasslands 2e Bundle
The Ultraviolet Grasslands and the Black City is a tabletop role-playing game book, half setting, half adventure, and half epic trip; inspired by psychedelic heavy metal, the Dying Earth genre, and classic Oregon Trail games. It leads a group of ‘heroes’ into the depths of a vast and mythic steppe filled with the detritus of time and space and fuzzy riffs.
Bundle includes:
- UVG 2E hardcover – 250 pages
- UVG 2E referee screen
- UVG 2E map pack

Wands of the Whippoorwill Wood
An adventure module and micro-setting. A lively treasure hunt through shifting forest lanes, sun-dappled golden meadows, mossy glens, and quaint fairy villages. Race against competing bands of ragtag rebels, fabled knights, woodland spirits, and the very march of time in your quest for the powerful Wands of the Whippoorwill Wood.
This module was written for use with Cairn and similar analog adventure games. Use it as the starting location for a new campaign, or as a quick stop in an ongoing one.
World Builder’s Handbook – Traveller
This week’s header image is from this game.
The World Builder’s Handbook provides a complete toolset for expanding a world or star system into a fully realised place to know and explore. It includes procedures for determining the type and location of a system’s significant stars and worlds, an expansion of mainworld generation, and rules for determining the physical and social characteristics of the star system’s other worlds.
This handbook is both comprehensive and modular, with procedures designed to allow the Referee to focus on the important aspects of a world or system’s characteristics. It allows a Referee to create star systems from scratch or expand existing profiles to refine a world’s character.
