Pelgrane Press Ltd

Pelgrane Press publishes character-focused and story-driven tabletop RPGs.
(28)

Our GUMSHOE RPG system enables investigative games with a collaborative mystery-solving play structure, as exemplified by the mythos RPG Trail of Cthulhu, and the high-octane spies-vs-vampires RPG Night’s Black Agents. Our DramaSystem facilitates interpersonal relationship building, which promotes affecting dramatic interactions between characters. So too do the story games in our anthologies -

eminism, Seven Wonders and Honey & Hot Wax. We also publish 13th Age, an epic fantasy game using the familiar d20 system, which weaves characters' backgrounds and unique traits into every narrative, resulting in engaging, heroic adventures.
