Thanks!!! :)

Hi! That is awesome, Project Derailed are great and I am incredibly honored that they keep playing my games for their show. 

As luck would have it, you can get a physical copy of Curse in the pledge manager for our Dungeon Date rpg that is open right now! We are offering a bundle of the core book and companion book with guest writer scenarios for a discounted price ($40). You don't have to order anything else from the pledge manager, you can just order the Rookwood books by themselves:

If you are looking for just the core book, direct message me on the bird app/instagram/bluesky and we can make arrangements. :)

Hi LobsterHarmonica, that is correct, it should say "four Skills" for Backgrounds. You do end up with a total of two Focus Skills, one for Background and one for Calling. Thanks for asking!

Thanks so much! If you have any rules questions, feel free to drop them here. :)

This game is a blast! The three core archetypes (Old, Cold, and Bold) are sharp as tacks and play off of each other really well. Just takes a couple of minutes to get into the game. The rules do some clever things with Lady Blackbird, introducing shared Keys you turn together!

The full version of my retro-dystopian tabletop rpg, Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes, is available now!

Play misfit outlaws in weird wasteland, fighting against fascist overlords with the power of friendship, whoopass, and explosions!

Features:

• Sticker-based character advancement
• Cinematic vehicle action scenes
• Easy-to-learn, player-driven dice system
• Mutants, robots, cyborgs, and more!

Rebels is now live on Kickstarter! We are funding physical books + STICKERS! Thanks so much to everyone that has read, played, commented, dreamed about, and shared the playtest version. 

Great suggestion! I've used Foundry a little bit. VTT packs are something I'm interested in doing.

Thanks so much! It was a blast playing with you! I'm going to release the Origins scenario as a demo/one-shot pdf soon.

Rebels of the Outlaw Wastes is a gonzo retro-dystopian tabletop rpg, now available as a playtest PDF. You play misfit outlaws fighting fascist overlords in a dangerous but beautiful post-apocalyptic world. You create your own world with a single-page questionnaire, tilted towards bright, hopeful, and colorful rather than grimdark like most post-apoc settings. The rules are player-first and take inspo from contemporary systems like FitD and PbtA, but tailored for fast-paced and over-the-top storytelling. Character advancement uses STICKERS! As you complete achievements for different skills, you add badge stickers directly to your character sheet that add new uses and effects for the skill. 

The playtest version is free to download here:

How bout a family-friendly version of the character sheet and stickers that say "Kickbutt" instead of "Whoopass"? I'd be happy to do that. My intended audience is older, it might be a bit of a challenge to make an age-appropriate version of the full rules.

Rookwood Roots is live!  16 playable scenarios for use with The Curse of the House of Rookwood.

Check it out here:  https://nerdypupgames.itch.io/rookwood-roots

Fillable sheets are now available!  Feedback welcome -- if there is anything else you'd like to see, please let me know!

Thanks for asking! That's a fairly quick task -- check back in a day or two and I should have something for you!

A really good take on Silent Hill or No-End House style stories as a ttrpg. Makes great use of the Trophy/Ruled by Night system to create character-driven survival horror that can go horribly wrong, while also giving players a lot of tactical options in play that lead directly into narrative. Jam-packed with maps, points of interest, and eerie ephemera to fuel your incursion to the Island.

The physical book is now available on Indie Press Revolution!

Another weird joint from Rookwood designer/writer, Brian!  Keep it weird, friend!

Thank you for supporting the game.  I will post a response here when it is available. :) 

Hello to all of the new folks discovering The Curse of the House of Rookwood.  If you are looking for an example of play, please check out the actualplay podcast by fans of the game at Project Derailed.  Set in Connecticut in the 1970s, their tale draws inspiration from Dark Shadows and other 70s horror.

Wow, AtaraxiaN, that sounds like a fantastic adventure! I love the creative use of your characters' Gifts to overcome enemies and challenges. A will reading is a great hook, and the hidden keys sound like a fun problem to solve. Thanks for playing!!! <3 <3 <3
