New RPG Roundup: Mörk Borg Filth, Save Your Sanity in ‘Cthulhu Hack’, and Get Coffee With Ghosts in ‘Ink’
It’s time to roll the dice on new releases! Come check out this week’s batch of brand-new tabletop role-playing games.
Secret of the Black Crag – OSE
Secret of the Black Crag is a 96-page island-crawl sandbox adventure centered around a multi-level dungeon written by Chance Dudinack, author of The Black Wyrm of Brandonsford. This module is written for use with Old School Essentials and is designed for a party of level 1-5 characters.
The adventure begins in the pirate haven of Port Fortune, a rowdy town in the tropical archipelago of the Salamander Islands. Here a mysterious undersea mountain has risen fourth from the abyss, beckoning treasure hunters to explore the forgotten depths of the Black Crag.
Ink Core Rulebook
ink is an adorably spooky roguelite tabletop RPG where you play as the ghosts of dead characters trying to battle their way out of the spirit world. Every time your party dies, you gain valuable Shards. Those can help you and your Shadow gain new supernatural powers and unlock forgotten memories of your past life.
This coffee-fueled game includes rules for procedurally generated campaigns, nautical combat, and a bevy of friendly Boorista ghosts along the way to sell you invigorating, caffeinated magical elixirs.
You’re in Space and Everything’s F*cked
A terrifying tribute to sci-fi survival horror and gore-filled splatter films. It’s a game for 2-5 players, with one taking on the role of an isolated, hostile space station. The others embody survivors, emergency aid, or some other unlucky individuals that are probably going to die horribly.
Inspired by the similarly f*cked-up situations found in the Dead Space, System Shock, and Alien franchises. You’re In Space emulates the trappings of isolation space horror media through the lens of a tabletop role-playing game. It uses a narrative dice pool system focused on rules-light structure with high lethality, quick play, and random generation. It’s fast, visceral, and a terrifyingly good time with friends.
CHVRCH OV THE WVRM – Mörk Borg
In this filth crawl scenario for MÖRK BORG, your rank characters drown in sewage while attempting to find fanatics of filth, explore the tunnels beneath the cesspits of Schleswig, and defeat the worm cult in the Cesstine Chapel.
This 28-page scenario for MÖRK BORG is written by JVC Parry and features arwork from Billy Blue and DW Dagon. It draws on lore from the dark minds of Pelle Nilson and Johan Nohr, and builds on it to create a disgustingly visceral descent into the excreta-filled earth beneath your stained boots.
Cthulhu Hack 2e
A standalone role-playing game of investigation and cosmic horror in Lovecraft’s sanity-shattering universe. This book is all you need — including guidance for both running and playing the game, an updated and expanded introductory scenario, “Save Innsmouth”, plus a selection of monsters, magic, and secret lore.
Enter Lovecraft’s world of gods and monsters with a game system that focuses on investigation and survival. The book includes six ready-to-play character archetypes and simple dice mechanics compatible with all First Edition supplements and adventures.
