https://fria-ligan.pledgemanager.com/projects/invincible-the-roleplaying-game/participate/

The Invincible – Superhero Roleplaying late pledge offers includes a comprehensive Core Rulebook – including detailed rules for character generation and campaign tools – and a boxed Starter Set.

The game based on the groundbreaking comic book series Invincible by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, raised over $350,000 USD during the Kickstarter last month and smashed multiple stretch goals, including bonus adventures, an expanded open license for the Year Zero Engine to cover superhero rules, and more.

In this action-packed tabletop roleplaying game, you take on the role of superheroes in the Invincible universe or any superhero setting of your choice. You might be a wisecracking speedster, a super-genius inventor, a grizzled vigilante, a shape-shifting alien, or a high-flying symbol of hope. Whatever you play and wherever you go, you’ll have to juggle relationships with patrols, face tough challenges and choices, and learn how to use your powers… and learn more about yourself in the process.

Invincible – Superhero Roleplaying Core Rulebook Key Features:
*Your Superhero: Instructions for how to create your very own hero.
Powers & Talents: Details on superpowers, talents, and drawbacks that signify what kind of hero you’re playing.
*Action & Combat: Rules for combat, damage, recovery, adversaries, and challenges.

From the master himself!

Riotminds sold trudvang to CMON, who have now sold/leased it to Free League Publishing. So, thankfully life has been breathed into it again. Was happy and honoured to get a new painting to do.....same old thing I'm afraid - dwarves, goblins and a big troll. Can't help it......

TRUDVANG is back! The iconic world of deep forests and endless mystery returns to its roots as a massive setting for our award-winning Dragonbane tabletop RPG.

DRAGONBANE: TRUDVANG, produced by Free League under license from CMON, is coming to Kickstarter in early 2026, and you can sign up to follow the project here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/dragonbane-trudvang-the-legend-returns

Trudvang is a world of shadowed woods and fathomless mists, of dreadful beasts and unsung heroes, of wrathful gods and endless mystery – deeply original but with strong roots in Nordic mythology.

The campaign will offer no less than four masterfully illustrated hardback volumes in Swedish and English:
*World Book: A deep dive into Trudvang's history, peoples, and regions – from Stormlands to Westmark, from Soj to the Great Ice Plains, richly illustrated.
*Book of Heroes: New Trudvang professions, skills, heroic abilities, and magic – wielded by vitner weavers and dimwalkers.
*Jorgi's Bestiary: The classic monster manual for Trudvang returns, featuring beasts from braskelwurm and draugr to hrimtursir and yggdras, all adapted for Dragonbane.
*The Black Sun: A legendary four-part epic campaign in Trudvang, revised and published in English for the first time.

The art of Dragonbane: Trudvang will mainly be drawn from over two decades of amazing Trudvang illustrations. The master Paul Bonner has also created the new cover art for the Dragonbane: Trudvang World Book.

The Trudvang brand and its original content was created by Theodore Bergqvist and Magnus Malmberg of the publisher Riotminds, as a campaign world for their Swedish edition of Dragonbane (Drakar och Demoner) in the early 2000s.

The work of writing, editing, and adapting Trudvang to the current version of Dragonbane will be spearheaded by Magnus Seter, a veteran RPG writer who also worked on Trudvang in its early days.

"When we heard that Free League had licensed Trudvang from CMON, and that Magnus Seter would be leading the work on this new edition, we were naturally delighted. Most of all because the world gets to live on – but also because Trudvang has, in many ways, found its way home again," says Theodore Bergqvist, co-founder of Riotminds, in the preface to the new edition.

Note that you will need the Dragonbane Core Set or the separate Rulebook to play Dragonbane: Trudvang.
