Free League Publishing 
Game Master’s Guide For Acclaimed Dark Fantasy RPG Symbaroum Coming June 2
Free League Publishing – May 26, 2020 14:00 BST
The Game Master’s Guide and Adventure Pack 4
Free League Publishing, creators of the official ALIEN roleplaying game, today announced that the worldwide release of the official Game Master’s Guide for the acclaimed dark fantasy roleplaying game Symbaroum, is set to June 2, 2020. With the Game Master’s Guide, Symbaroum’s collection of core books is complete.
The book is set to release next week, but it can be purchased today in the Free League webshop, alone or bundled with Adventure Pack 4, which will be officially launched later this year.
The Game Master’s Guide features three sections, meant to inspire and support Game Masters when it comes to everything from the creation of homebrew adventures to managing sessions around the gaming table:
- The Adventure section, with chapters on the design of game worlds, chronicles, adventure landscapes and of adventures set in the Underworld, Yonderworld and Spirit World. It also offers tips regarding how to construct scenarios for experienced player characters, and guidelines for Troupe Play in Symbaroum.
- The Challenges section, containing alternative rules for pitched battles, advanced traps and social challenges. Adding to this are chapters on Ceremonial Magic (including sixteen ceremonies), expeditions in Davokar, exploration of ruins, the design of legendary creatures and rules for handling player characters owning and managing an estate or smaller domain.
- The Rewards Section, which offers suggestions on different ways of rewarding player characters and their players, aside from Experience and shiny coins. The chapters also present guidelines for designing what in Symbaroum are called Curiosities, Mystical Treasures and Artifacts, after which the book is rounded off with the description of no less than twenty seven artifacts – all of them with a unique adventure set-up.
Adventure Pack 4 is a 112-page hardcover book, including two scenarios that in different ways relate to the growing internal divisions within the Ambrian realm. Call of the Dark plays out in the northern territories of the Lost Land of Alberetor, where the player characters will accompany a lowborn noble who is looking to prove the status of her family. The second adventure, Retribution, initially deals with the search for a person who has gone missing in the city of Kurun, but is soon shown to involve events which may have serious consequences for the relationship between the peoples of the Davokar region.
The dark fantasy roleplaying game Symbaroum was launched in 2015 and has captured the imagination of ever growing crowd of gamers with its evocative art and rich game setting.
“Symbaroum excels in every single aspect of game design: the setting, the rules, the layout, the art.”
– Antonios S, RPGnet
“The simple system and rich setting, thick with dark and evocative imagery, makes this a worthy consideration for new and experienced gamers alike.”
– Paul Baldowski, GeekNative
“All in all, this is a stunning piece of work. It has all the sophistication of 13th Age, the mechanical beauty of Dungeon World, and the dark attractiveness of Warhammer Fantasy in a comprehensive and elegant game.”
– Rodney Orpheus, Medium

PRESS RELEASE: New Edition of Classic RPG Twilight: 2000 Announced by Free League Publishing

New Edition of Classic RPG Twilight: 2000 Announced by Free League PublishingFree League Publishing – May 13, 2020 14:01 BST
Twilight: 2000, 4th EditionA new edition of the classic roleplaying game Twilight: 2000 was announced today by Free League Publishing, makers of the ALIEN RPG, in partnership with Game Designers’ Workshop and Amargosa Press. The new edition goes back to the roots of the franchise with a boxed set for sandbox roleplaying in the devastation of World War III. It will come to Kickstarter in August, to be released in early 2021. The new edition of the apocalyptic RPG Twilight: 2000 will be the fourth in the series, the first being released by Game Designers’ Workshop in 1984. Just like the original version, the new edition is set in a year 2000 devastated by war – now in an alternate timeline where the Moscow Coup of 1991 succeeded and the Soviet Union never collapsed. “The first edition of Twilight: 2000 was an iconic game for me back in the ’80s, and we are humbled and honored to work with Marc Miller and Game Designers’ Workshop to bring a new edition to life. The original game was really ahead of its time. Our goal is to build on the amazing sandbox survival gameplay and develop it further, making it more accessible using the tools of modern game design,” says lead game designer and Free League founder Tomas Härenstam. “When I saw this proposal to revisit the Twilight universe, I signed on immediately. As I have seen the work proceed, I have not been disappointed, and I look forward to seeing this project become reality,” says Marc Miller of Far Future Enterprises and co-founder of Game Designers’ Workshop. Also part of the project are Amargosa Press (who have recently announced the new Dark Conspiracy 4th Edition RPG), Polish RPG publisher Black Monk Games (who will act as a consultant on the Poland in 2000 AD game setting as well as publish a Polish edition of the game), and Far Future Enterprises (who publishes the fifth edition of the Traveller science-fiction roleplaying game). The design team is led by Tomas Härenstam (ALIEN RPG, Forbidden Lands, Mutant: Year Zero), with setting and scenario writing by Chris Lites (Conan, Over the Edge), editing by Angus Abranson (Doctor Who, The One Ring), interior art by Niklas Brant (Forbidden Lands), cover art by Martin Grip (ALIEN RPG, Symbaroum), and maps by Tobias Tranell (Forbidden Lands). Several active and retired servicemen from the U.S. military are assigned to the project as consultants. “Twilight: 2000 was a favorite of ours at school in the ’80s, with many a lunch hour spent salvaging what we could as we traveled across the ruins of Europe trying to survive. I’m honored to be involved in a new edition, and being able to work with the Free League is a fantastic bonus!” says Angus Abranson of Amargosa Press. Just like the original game, the new edition of Twilight: 2000 is set in a Poland devastated by war, but the game also offers an alternative Swedish setting, as well as tools for placing the game anywhere in the world. In the game, players take roles of survivors in the aftermath of World War III – soldiers or civilians. Their goal, beyond surviving for another day, can be to find a way back home, to carve out their own fiefdom where they are, to find out more about the mysterious Operation Reset, and maybe, just maybe, make the world a little bit better again. The core gameplay uses a “hexcrawling” system established in the post-apocalyptic Mutant: Year Zero and survival fantasy Forbidden Lands RPGs (both Silver ENnie winners for Best Rules, in 2015 and 2019), developing it further to fit the gritty world of Twilight: 2000. The core rules are built on the Year Zero Engine used in those games (as well as in the ALIEN RPG), but heavily adapted to fit Twilight: 2000 and its focus on gear and gritty realism. More information about the new edition of Twilight: 2000 will be forthcoming soon.

RiotMinds announces Trudvang Adventures, tabletop RPG for 5E
Stockholm 2020-05-11. Swedish games publisher RiotMinds today announced the upcoming release of Trudvang Adventures, a full adaptation of the critically acclaimed award-winning RPG setting, for 5E. The game is based on the successful “Trudvang Chronicles” campaign world setting that was voted “The most anticipated game of the year” by the ENWorld community upon its release.
Trudvang Chronicles has served thousands of players worldwide for more than a decade. “For several years now, we’ve been asked by players to adapt Trudvang Chronicles to the popular 5E system. With interest in the game higher than ever, along with the incredible rise of our Kickstarter community, we have decided that now is the right time to make this happen,” says Magnus Malmberg of RiotMinds.
Trudvang Adventures 5E (TA5E) is anchored in a unique world setting of fused Celtic and Nordic myths and sagas. TA5E players are afforded the opportunity to explore the incredibly rich and visually stunning fantasy setting of Trudvang Chronicles while still remaining familiar and accessible for players of 5E. Both players and DMs will feel instantly at home and comfortable with the TA5E toolsets for their epic campaigns.
Trudvang Chronicles is licensed and translated for use in a number of countries and is also the basis for the new board game Trudvang Legends. The Trudvang Legends board game is scheduled for release later this year and is produced and published by renowned game design company CMON.
“We envision this as an opportunity to reach a broader audience with 5E being another tentpole in our strategy to serve our player community and expand the Trudvang brand. However, for fans of the original Trudvang Chronicles RPG, rest assured that we will continue to support that game with an array of new supplements and adventures. We have an exciting and extensive release plan ahead – we can’t wait to share more information soon.” Magnus Malmberg concludes.
Trudvang Adventures will be launched as a Kickstarter campaign May 23rd 2020.

PRESS RELEASE: Limitless Adventures to launch a second DM-less adventure
On May 4th, 2020, Limitless Adventures will launch a Kickstarter campaign for their new 5th Edition adventure path: Journey to Beryl’s Reach (JBR). The three-adventure arc is distinctive because it requires no dungeon master. Take note: this is not a board; there will be roleplay, puzzles, skill challenges, and of course, combat. Our DM-less feels like a standard session. The adventure features unique mechanics that allow for high replay value to ensure that it will be a different experience each time.
“This DM-less adventure is meant to reduce dungeon master burnout, as well as provide those groups that don’t have a dungeon master a way to still get together and roll dice with their friends. We’re not looking to put DMs out of work, but rather give them a chance to play a character for once.” said Andrew Hand, co-founder of Limitless Adventures.
Journey to Beryl’s Reach will be Limitless Adventures’s fourteenth Kickstarter and it will run from May 4th until May 29th. JBR will be available as a print and play PDF or a premium box set. Both domestic and international shipping will be available.
Limitless Adventures was founded in 2016 by Andrew Hand and Michael Johnson. Limitless Adventures offers high-quality 5th Edition gaming products. They specialize in DM-friendly products that minimize your prep time so you can spend more time at the table playing and less time writing.
“With our new DM-less product, Limitless Adventures helps you battle the ultimate RPG boss fight… the schedule.” says Michael Johnson, Limitless Adventures co-founder.

End Date: Fri, May 29 2020 11:07 AM EDT.

Free League Announces Starter Set and New Cinematic Scenario for the ALIEN RPG – Now On Pre-Order
Free League Publishing – Apr 26, 2020 14:01 BST
The ALIEN RPG Starter Set and the Destroyer of Worlds Cinematic Module are coming this August.
Free League Publishing and 20th Century Studios are proud to announce not one but two major expansions for the official ALIEN tabletop roleplaying game, released last December to universal acclaim. This August will see the release of a boxed Starter Set, as well as a brand-new Cinematic module entitled Destroyer of Worlds. Both titles can be pre-ordered from the ALIEN RPG website as of today in honor of ALIEN DAY, the annual 4/26 celebration of the ALIEN franchise and fandom.
The ALIEN RPG Starter Set is designed to be the perfect entry point into the game and the ALIEN universe. Affordably priced at $49.99, it contains everything needed to start playing, including an abridged 104-page softcover quickstart of the core rules, 20 custom dice, reference cards, character handouts, a huge starmap, and the complete Cinematic scenario Chariot of the Gods by sci-fi author Andrew E.C. Gaska.
Destroyer of Worlds, also penned by Gaska, is a continuation of the story from Chariot, this time focusing upon an iconic type of character from the ALIEN universe: the Colonial Marine. A team of Colonial Marines get dropped onto the moon Ariaricus to handle a growing insurgency, but soon find themselves fighting for their lives against enemies beyond their worst nightmares. Priced at $29.99, the Destroyer of Worlds Cinematic scenario will come in a boxed set, including maps, handouts, and cards for a fully immersive tabletop experience.
The 392-page core rulebook for the official ALIEN roleplaying game was released in December 2019 along with a host of supplements. The game immediately sold out its first print run and swiftly entered the Top-5 list of best-selling tabletop RPGs in the fall of 2019. The game is currently being translated into seven languages, and was recently nominated for an Origins Award for Best RPG of the Year.
Pre-order the ALIEN RPG Starter Set and Destroyer of Worlds today on alien-rpg.com. Then follow Free League on Twitter and Facebook for the latest news and previews of the ALIEN products soon to come.
REVIEW QUOTES:
“Move over, Dungeons & Dragons, Swedish publisher Free League has released Alien: The Roleplaying Game, and it is as great as it is terrifying.”
–The Gamer
“Free League Publishing has knocked it out of the orbit. It’s an interstellar masterpiece that honors the Alien legacy and builds on the stories that made the series great. It’s a sci-fi adventure that roleplaying fans will surely love, and it’s an accessible system for anyone interested in a good story and a rollicking good time.”
–GameTyrant
“The real horror of Ridley Scott’s seminal sci-fi flick Alien has always been the creeping, slithering fear of the unknown. It’s impressive, then, that Free League has been able to craft a tabletop roleplaying game that can conjure up that same pitch-dark dread from the safety of your kitchen table.”

Free League Launches Kickstarter for Tales From the Loop – The Board Game
Free League Publishing – Apr 07, 2020 14:11 BST
Prototype of Tales From the Loop – The Board Game
This news item contains embedded media. Open the news item in your browser to see the content.
The Kickstarter for Tales From the Loop – The Board Game was launched today by Free League Publishing. The game, based on the universe created by artist and author Simon Stålenhag recently adapted to a tv series on Amazon Prime Video, offers cooperative gameplay using robot miniatures by Paolo Parente’s Dust Studio. A complete Print ‘n Play kit can be downloaded for free from the Kickstarter.
Simon Stålenhag is the internationally lauded artist and author of Tales From the Loop and Things From the Flood, narrative art books published by Free League that stunned the world with a vision of an alternate Scandinavia in the 1980s and ‘90s, where technology invaded tranquil landscapes to form an entirely new universe of the eerie and the nostalgic.
In 2017, Free League published a tabletop roleplaying game based on Tales From the Loop, which went on to win five Gold ENnie Awards, including Best Game and Product of the Year. A tv series adaptation of Tales From the Loop was launched just a few days ago on Amazon Prime Video.
Tales From the Loop – The Board Game lets players take another step into the amazing world of the Loop. In the 1-5 players take the roles of teenagers who investigate the mysteries originating from the Loop, a huge underground science facility with strange effects on the suburban landscapes around it – but they also need to make sure they’re home in time for dinner!
Tales From the Loop – The Boardgame is designed by Martin Takaichi and includes high-quality miniatures by Paolo Parente’s Dust Studio.
To let players try out Tales From the Loop – The Board Game for themselves, Free League provides a Print ‘n Play kit of the current Alpha game prototype for download from the Kickstarter page. The Print ‘n Play kit includes four characters and one scenario to play.
You can find the Kickstarter here.

The first Blacklist Miniatures product, Fantasy: Series 1, will launch on Kickstarter on April 14, 2020 at 12pm EDT and offer a beautiful set of 70 highly detailed fantasy miniatures at a great price point, as well as exciting exclusives for backers in the form of stretch goals that will add even more value to their pledge once unlocked. Blacklist Games is made up of a small group of passionate gamers and initially began as an overseas 3D modeling and printing company. With our resources and innovation, our goal is to create games and miniatures that are not only exciting, but also unique, thematic, and engaging.

PRESS RELEASE: Onyx Path Publishing Launches Kickstarter for Legendlore
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Onyx Path Publishing and Caliber Comics Announces the Legendlore RPG based on the Award-Winning Legendlore and The Realm Comics
3/3/20 — Rich Thomas, founder and creative director of Onyx Path Publishing, in conjunction with Caliber Comics have launched the Kickstarter for the Legendlore RPG Setting for 5th Edition Fantasy Roleplaying. The Legendlore RPG is based on Caliber Comics’ long-running fantasy comic book series The Realm and Legendlore.
“What I love about Legendlore is it’s you, reading this right now, who gets to explore the world. Small but fierce? The portal makes you a warrior. Always talking your friends into things they shouldn’t do? You get to be a bard. Read more books about magic than you can remember? A sorcerer! It’s completely up to you,” stated Steffie de Vaan, developer for the tabletop RPG. “Character creation and setting will be incredibly diverse, so regardless your ethnicity, body, gender or sexuality: the Realm is for you.”
“It’s a privilege to be working with Onyx Path in bringing a Legendlore RPG to a whole new audience. Onyx Path are one of the best in the business in crafting and launching an entertaining tabletop RPG that gamers truly come to enjoy,” said Eric Reichert, President of Caliber Comics. “The Realm/Legendlore property is one of the gems from the hundreds of IP titles within Caliber’s extensive library. And its concept and grand fantasy scope is a natural fit for a tabletop RPG. It will be interesting to see what new adventures await us in the land of Azoth.”
Drawn from The Realm and Legendlore comics, the Legendlore RPG will whisk characters from our modern world to a magical Dungeons and Dragons-meets-Game of Thrones land filled with dragons, orcs, unicorns and hobgoblins. With over 60 comics published covering twelve graphic novel volumes, The Realm and Legendlore comics became one of Caliber Comics most critically acclaimed and popular series. In the RPG, players can choose to play as themselves or create a new character using the Storypath system.
Some of the creative talents featured in the comics were Ralph Griffith (Deadworld/OZ), Stuart Kerr (Deadworld/OZ), Guy Davis (Hellboy/B.P.R.D./Grendel/Aliens), Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spiderman/Guardians of the Galaxy/Avengers/Daredevil), Jim O’Barr (The Crow), David Boller (Spiderman/X-Men/Ghost Rider), Tim Bradstreet (Punisher/Serenity), and more!

Free League Announces Tales From the Loop RPG Boxed Starter Set

The Tales From the Loop RPG Starter Set

The new boxed set, containing a new scenario called The Recycled Boy, is already available for pre-order.
The Tales From the Loop roleplaying game, based on the wondrous worlds of author and visual artist Simon Stålenhag, was released in 2017 and was a big hit, winning no less than five Gold ENnies, including Best Game and Product of the Year. The game is Free League Publishing’s best-selling title to date.
On April 3, the tv series based on Stålenhag’s work will be launched on Amazon Prime Video, starring Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona), Paul Schneider (Parks and Recreation), and Jonathan Pryce (Game of Thrones).
Stålenhag’s narrative art books Tales From the Loop and Things From the Flood stunned the world with a vision of an alternate Scandinavia in the 1980s and ‘90s where technology has invaded the tranquil landscapes to form an entirely new universe of the eerie and the nostalgic.
In the Tales From the Loop RPG, players take the roles of teenagers solving spectacular mysteries connected to the Loop – a huge and mysterious underground particle generator.
The new Starter Set is the ideal starting point for roleplayers who want to step into the world of the Loop. The boxed set has a cover featuring key art by Stålenhag made specifically for the tv series. Inside, it contains everything players need to get started:
- An illustrated rulebook explaining how to play the game
- The complete adventure called The Recycled Boy by Nils Hintze
- Five pre-generated characters ready to play
- A large, full-color map of land of the Loop
- Ten engraved custom dice
The starter set will be released in April, and it is already available for pre-order for only 248 SEK (approx. $27 USD) via a new dedicated website for the Tales From the Loop RPG. All pre-orders receive a full PDF of the game shortly after purchase. The starter set will be available in retail stores globally at launch.

MÖRK BORG Artpunk RPG Released Today By Free League Publishing
Free League Publishing – Feb 25, 2020 14:00 GMT
MÖRK BORG Artpunk RPG Released Today
A doom metal album of a game. A spiked flail to the face. Rules light, heavy everything else. Today, artpunk roleplaying game MÖRK BORG was officially released by Free League Publishing. Designed by Ockult Örtmästare Games and Stockholm Kartell, MÖRK BORG is the first RPG to be published under Free League Workshop, Free League Publishing’s sublabel for selected externally developed games.
MÖRK BORG is a pitch-black apocalyptic fantasy RPG about lost souls and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness or the last remaining riches in a bleak and decaying world. Who are you? The tomb-robber with silver glittering between cracked fingernails? The mystic who would bend the world’s heart away from it’s inevitable end? The world is dying. And you with it.
MÖRK BORG is available at the Free League webshop, at DrivethruRPG, and select retail stores.
PREVIEW QUOTES:
“It manages to cram pure brilliance into such tight spaces that its outright confounding at times.”
–The Dread Gazebo
”Satan’s real—and he lives in Sweden.”
–Adam Koebel’s First Look
Confront power-draining necromancers, skulking skeletal warriors and backstabbing wickheads. Wander the Valley of the Unfortunate Undead, the catacombs beneath the Bergen Chrypt or the bedevilled Sarkash forest. But leave hope behind – the world’s cruel fate is sealed, and all your vain heroic efforts are destined to end in death and dismay. Or are they?
MÖRK BORG is a complete game in the OSR genre, that can be played as is or be picked apart for use in your own homebrew. The rules are easily made compatible with most other major fantasy roleplaying games. Within the book you’ll find:
- A brief look at this dying world. From The Two-Headed Basilisks’ gothic cathedral in Galgenbeck and Blood-countess Anthelia’s limestone palace, to the fields of death in Graven-Tosk and the barren wastes of Kergüs.
- The Calendar of Nechrubel, that decides the speed of the world’s demise.
- 20 occult Powers that let you bend reality, and just as many magical catastrophes for when you disastrously fail.
- Optional rules which bring more depth to the game. Omens let you turn bad luck into a slightly better one. Classes with unique traits and quirks, and tables that will bring life into your character.
- 12 creatures to be murdered by.
- Game master tools such as tables for corpse plundering, occult treasure, adventure sparks, dungeon generating and other devilry.
- The introductory dungeon crawl scenario Rotblack Sludge, where you investigate a forgotten part of the Shadow King’s enormous ruin palace. Cannibal warlocks, poison peddlers from beyond the void and hungry gutworms await.
MÖRK BORG is designed by Pelle Nilsson (Ockult Örtmästare Games) and Johan Nohr (Stockholm Kartell). The game is published by Free League Publishing and is available in Swedish and English. The English text is edited and cursed by Patrick Stuart (Veins of the Earth, Silent Titans).

PRESS RELEASE: Between the Lines Coming to Kickstarter
Between the Lines, an immersive storytelling series which blends fiction and so-called real life; the nutshell is that this series is meant to bring the mystery and magic–so loved in choose-your-own-adventure books, RPG’s and good ol’ fiction books–to our everyday lives.
The kickstarter for the first book in the series, titled [ əb’dʒektɪv X ], launches on the last day of this month, February 29th, and will close on the 14th of April. Our work is a proud part of Zine Quest 2. You can see the preview page here, set a to be notified when we launch, or just check back in on the 29th —
Incarnis – the new RPG that lets the group play God AND Game Master
Zine Quest, an event to promote RPG creations on Kickstarter, has an interesting new addition: Incarnis. This game, presented in the form of a booklet that guides you through its gameplay, lets players take turns as game masters in the role of various gods that you create yourself. What kind of world will your pantheon create?
Incarnis
Incarnis is a tabletop role-playing game about a pantheon of deities who are all about interfering with each other’s lives and with the mortals ‘down below’. Think of Disney’s Hercules, Terry Pratchett’s The Gods Trilogy and Neil Gaiman’s American Gods. The deities are people; prone to being emotional and very interdependent. They just happen to be the almighty incarnations of raw creation as well. So, as your gaggle of deities pursue their individual needs, the world trembles in their wake, forever changed.
Incarnis empowers all players to pick up the mantle of game master in a game that was made to easily pass that role around.
Incarnis lets you create your own origin myths by forming bonds between the deities. These bonds lead to drama that creates the very nature of the realm. With each origin myth, the world will become richer and more real.
“Ocean and Earth were lovers, until something happened between them. Now they are in a terrible fight, and risk splitting apart.”
A simple premise like this can form the basis of myths such as how parts of the world became land, and other parts became ocean.
Your myths will soon grow into a mythology. At the core of the game is the idea that each resolution creates its own complications. What if Ocean and Land reconciled their differences and merged again? What would happen to all the civilizations that formed on dry land? And will another deity rise up to prevent this from happening? The game is built around this kind of drama and lets you spiral out an interesting overarching mythology by asking questions and searching for answers. Gradually, that abstract world you started out with becomes a place worth fighting for.
Zine Quest
Zine Quest is an invitation to creators to launch RPG related Zine Kickstarter projects. These zines are small (A5 or smaller) booklets. They may contain full games, or contain RPG related content. This year’s edition is the second Zine Quest, and it has met with lots of enthusiastic responses from those who appreciate classic role playing and new ways of creating social storytelling structures.
Creators
Incarnis was created by Peter Elroy and Max Philippi, two Dutch RPG enthusiasts. Max is a graphic designer with a passion for games that are intricate yet elegant. Peter planned to study game design but somehow ended up studying physics, so now he makes up for this in his free time. They have created game supplements, re-skinned existing ones, and of course built their own worlds and stories as game masters in various RPG adventures. But this Kickstarter project is their first brand new, standalone game and they are “VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT”.
Back the project
The Incarnis Kickstarter Project starts on Tuesday, February 25. You can explore and back the project here: http://kickstarter.com/projects/peterelroy/incarnis

PR: Onyx Path Publishing Revives a Fan Favorite with Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Onyx Path Publishing Revives a Fan Favorite with Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition
February 6, 2020 — Rich Thomas, founder and Creative Director of Onyx Path Publishing, announced today that the Kickstarter to fund a prestige edition of Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition core rulebook has recently launched. This new edition of Hunter: The Vigil was developed by veteran Monica Valentinelli.
“Hunter: The Vigil has always been a fan favorite because it’s a modern horror game that gives everyday people the chance to be heroes,” says Monica Valentinelli, the Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition developer. “In Second Edition, there are more monsters than ever before. You are given more tools to investigate the strange and unexplained while reinforcing your connections to fellow hunters and your community. Hunter isn’t just about fighting bloodsuckers or expelling ghosts from a haunted house–it’s about the hard choices you make from night to night to keep yourself, your cellmates, and your loved ones safe while recognizing that hunter society is not a utopia or a monolith.”
Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition is a modern horror game for players committed to hunting the supernatural. Three playing styles are included in this standalone rulebook: cells for tier one gameplay, compacts for tier two, and conspiracies for tier three.
In addition to seven compacts and seven conspiracies included in this new edition, highlights include:
– Storyteller support that includes a sample setting and chronicle-rich tool kit called The Slasher Chronicle inspired by the slasher film genre.
– Expanded lore and support to play a hunter at the tier you prefer. Includes two new compacts (SWORN, Nine Stars) and a new conspiracy called the Council of Bones.
– A guide to the strange and unexplained lurking in different environments and how to create your own. Includes cryptids like the black dog, ghosts like the haunted hitchhiker, and new monsters inspired by urban legends.
– Setting rules for three types of mysterious places to add locations hunters can explore, investigate, and cleanse of their supernatural taint.
– Tools to ground hunters in their everyday lives and help mitigate the horrors of the Vigil.
– Rules to facilitate different playing styles for investigation, social engineering, and more!
The manuscript for Hunter: The Vigil Second Edition has been completed, and chapters will be released during the Kickstarter to backers. Delivery is planned for February 2022 to account for stretch goals and printing of this supplement. Standard eBook and Hardcover editions will be released in game stores and online following fulfillment of the Kickstarter.
