CRIME, JUDGEMENT AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE CITY OF SPIRE A full-length sourcebook for Spire packed with new rules, evocative scenarios and details on the Crime, Order and Religion domains. In Spire, the greatest city on the continent, a mile-high shard of pitted obsidian and black magic, revolution is brewing. A thousand gods bicker and war for control of the countless congregations within Spire’s crumbling walls. The aelfir rule from their frozen palaces and perform festival after festival in honour of their solar masters; the drow, long-subjugated, stitch together scraps of scripture to form sawn-off mystery cults and threadbare churches to illegal goddesses. Gods of arson, burglary and mugging blossom in the undercity, finding more faithful each day. The crime lords of Red Row flood a city hungry for upheaval with guns, drugs and fighters with nothing to lose but something to prove. The plate-armoured gangster knights of the North Docks fight wars of extortion and leg-breaking from their sacred pubs whilst clinging to a street’s worth of territory handed down from their forebears. The Council — unelected and corrupt to the point of uselessness – oversee it all from their triple-warded chamber in the upper city, sending their agents to smash apart insurrection and maintain control. But they fight a losing battle, and the collateral damage will soon become unsustainable. Sin delves deeper into the world of Spire, and includes: Two new classes: the divine confidence trickster Gutter Cleric and the necromantic bureaucrat Mortician Executioner Extensive sections on the Crime, Order and Religion domains including dozens of new abilities, hundreds of plot hooks and fiction tidbits, and beautiful illustrations by Adrian Stone Three ready-to-run scenarios, pitching the player characters headlong into a world of squabbling holy orders, mysterious librarians, demonic artefacts, overclocked noir magic, interdimensional breaches and hotwired avatars to death gods

Some of you might want to get back to the real world for whatever’s waiting for you there. Some of you might want to stay in a reality where you can finally get what you want out of life. You all have to agree whether you stay or go, and dead people can’t vote. It can get pretty bloody. More than 400 pages of clever words and beautiful art are yours for the taking in this gorgeous PDF published by Rowan, Rook and Decard. Gillen’s original beta manuscript has been refined, polished, trimmed, tweaked and edited into one of the best games you’ll ever read.

Fight, steal, yell and party in a doomed spaceship on a collision course with heaven. The DERELICT is a great big beautiful trash rocket smashing through space and it is jam-packed with ORCS, generations upon generations of them, sporing and scrapping, building murderous idols to their mad gods, and praying for DOOM when the Derelict will crash into heaven and disgorge every dead-hard big-toothed bastard in a glorious tide of violence. YOU are an ORC, and you fight and kill and pray and scheme and tinker and howl for a place in heaven. You can use GENERATORC to make ORC BORG characters (complete with illustrations!) and it’s entirely free to use. Written by Grant Howitt and illustrated by ROLLINKUNZ, ORC BORG is loud, over-the-top and obnoxious. It uses the MÖRK BORG rules-set to make easy-to-run game set in the chaotic Derelict, and includes (but is not limited to): Everything you need to make a crazed alien warrior determined to punch their way to Armageddon Rules for piloting, fighting and stealing legendary Big Robots such as BANG TEN THOUSAND, MASSIVE PROBLEM, and RUST BITCH Two types of space magic: runic TECHNOWIZARDRY and good old-fashioned YELL PRAYERS A D12 weapon table we stretched out to four pages so we could draw the weapons really big A custom Apocalyptic Prophecy table, which is much more fun than MORK BORG’s Rules for playing a cyborg orc, or ORCBORG, as we call them Eight musical genres including PIANOHAMMER, TRASH CANNON and DRUM BASTARD A bestiary including bloodthirsty demons, grotty aliens, cultish humans and rival orcs ORC BORG is printed using Pantone neon inks, which means it’s more vibrant than it has any right to be. We couldn’t be happier with how it looks and feels and we think you’ll enjoy it too. The Neon Zine edition of ORC BORG includes ROTER ZWERG, a two-page point-crawl dungeon comprising of random encounters, a map of the Zwerg, stats for two kinds of space dwarf and two kinds of robot, as well as a lot of jokes disguised as room descriptions.
