Release Highlights

Questworlds

Finally, it is out, Ian Cooper has released the wonderful world of possibilities that is Questworlds. On The Raspy Raven, we’ve been eagerly awaiting this since Ian ran a playtest of his Pioneer Space genre.

There are now several adventures coming out in the wake of this release including;

Humkat E.V. - Wuxia, Fantasy feuds and honour, 17th Century Witch hunters plus more in the works!

Rogue Comet - Firefly, Blake’s 7, Cowboy Bepop Sci-Fi Heists and Rebellions.

Gothic Dark - The Walls of Chester

Dosmania has been quietly providing us with several high-quality scenarios. Here they introduce a hack of Cthulhu Dark, Gothic Dark, along with a slice of Jamesian supernatural goings on, The Walls of Chester. It’s FREE!

Funeral Rites

Trebormills releases his unique story game Funeral Rites, it’s a narrative-heavy RPG, one in which all the players and characters are now dead, so a perfect follow-up after a TPK! Rob recently playtested this on The Raspy Raven to lots of positive feedback. From one player, “I’m pretty impressed how we made it all work, intertwine our stories and each of us have a pretty cool and unique death!”
