Where Shadows Fall - Game Pitch
The world you think you know hides a secret. Magic, and the creatures born of it, are real.
Long ago, man knew this and was afraid. Man knew the truth of what was hidden in shadow, and shared this knowledge through stories. But as man became more "enlightened," he began to see these stories as mere fiction. Make believe. Tales to delight the imagination of children. Nothing more. As more and more generations of man came of age without truly seeing, man all but lost the ability to perceive that which the shadows hide.
Now, hundreds of years later, man is at his pinnacle. Man is educated,
technologically advanced, and certain of his superior knowledge and understanding.
But the creatures that dwell in shadow still exist. The fairies and goblins, elves and dwarves, ogres and fierce monsters dwell among mankind in secret. Some pass as humans and are regarded as such. For the rational human mind cannot
conceive of anything else. Others cannot, and are dismissed, unseen, confused for another creature, or ignored entirely.
But all are real.
Some can even see them for what they are. Compiled within this dossier with everything you need to know.
Welcome to the Shadow.

ECO MOFOS - Game Pitch
Miyazaki meets Mad Max on a psychedelic future Earth in this rules-lite solo-friendly TTRPG.
ECO-MOFOS!! is a mid-future ecopunk ruin-delving survival game, as player characters (PCs or Punks) seek a safe homestead to start a new community, Weirdhope not Grimdark.
Around two hundred years ago, everything went to sh*t. The wealthy, who created this mess, f**ked off to Mars while the lucky ones hid in vast underground bunkers. We were left to fend for ourselves on the surface, eeking out an existence in the broken world they left behind, searching for remnants of a past world to help us survive, searching for a place to call home.
Play a group of misfits who have found each other in the wastes and ruins of the fallen world. The past is just a hazy legend, the story scattered over thousands of usb sticks and servers, but the future is there to be written.

O,Death! - Game Pitch
O, Death! is a Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC)-compatible adventure set in the Shudder Mountains. Although the scenario could be dropped into any DCC game wanting a little diversion into a dark mountain wood, it shines (or glows ominously) as part of the Appalachian world of The Chained Coffin written by Michael Curtis and published by Goodman Games.
The adventure begins with a humble journey along a mountain stream, but when the high lonesome music starts, the players journey deep into the Shudder Mountains and thousands of years into the past, encounter an Ice Age god, mummified serpentfolk, and even the Grim Reaper himself. It is a story of love, ancient vengeance, and Death. Imagine your own telling of this story that finds its roots in the writing of Appendix N author, Manly Wade Wellman.

Subversion - Game Pitch
In the Subversion tabletop roleplaying game, you and your friends play as envoys, representatives of your communities taking direct action to serve and save the people around you. But there’s a catch. Both your character, and the community they are a part of, have values that are important to them. Trying to subvert the oppressive world around you while also holding true to the values you and your community care about, isn’t an easy task.
Features:
➢ Immersive characters with their own unique fantasy lineage, values, impulses, backgrounds, and goals.
➢ A flexible, d6-based, dice-pool game system that allows multiple and creative solutions to almost every encounter. The better you are at a skill, the more dice you roll, but you’ll only keep the highest three, meaning more skilled characters have higher chances of critical hits and less chances of critical failures.
➢ A player-created community that acts as another character, helping the PCs and needing their help.
➢ A robust setting in a world much like our own, but with wonderous creatures, magical abilities, and where the ancient Babylonian Empire was the first to wield arcane powers to conquer all around them. 2,500 years later, Neo Babylon is an urban megasprawl and the economic and cultural capitol of the world.
➢ Varieties of balanced character and advancement options means characters won’t ever get too powerful for the setting, even as the characters get better and more unique.
➢ Themes of community, direct action, revolution, hauntings, encroaching technology, relationships, staying true to ideals, speaking truth to power, and hope for the future.

Drama Llamas - Game Pitch
Drama Llamas is a narrative driven TTRPG about reality TV competition shows. Easy to plan and easy to play, the game contains everything you need to create (or recreate) the reality franchise of your dreams. Packed with genre tropes and chaos-generating mechanics, all with an absurdist, llama-flavoured twist.
You and your friends will play as cast of fame-hungry llamas, eager to grab the spotlight and snatch the big prize. You'll complete challenges, create drama, form alliances, sabotage your fellow contestants, and expose your deepest darkest secrets. Keep an eye on your drama score, though - toxic llamas never prosper!
Gather 3-5 players plus a GM, or "Producer", create your llama contestants and compete for the grand prize while generating heaps of delicious drama. This game is 90% role play, 10% strategy, 0% combat (unless the drama gets really out of hand!)

Ailing Away - Game Pitch
AILING AWAY is a solo mystery game with historical romantic elements. It's like CLUE but it's meant for one player, you get to kiss some of the suspects, and there's no board to set up. All you need to play is a copy of the rulebook, a deck of standard playing cards, a pair of ten-sided dice, and writing implements of your choosing. Players may choose to use the detective's journal bundled with the rulebook, but it is optional.
This game uses a standalone system designed to exploit the theme of this title. It is intended to be played solo, but could easily be played one-on-one with a single player and a game master.
Every suspect is a potential friend or romantic partner, but one of them will die at random before the game begins. The player's goal is to find out who killed them, and why.
Each time players try to learn a secret, they put either their social standing or their precarious health at risk. The consequences for failure can be very high: muddling detectives might be be sent home with tarnished reputations or even die of tuberculosis.
Fostering relationships with each character in AILING AWAY is critical to a detective's success. Alternatively, players can improve their odds by submitting themselves to the spa-hotel's curative treatments, or by giving gifts to the suspects they are interviewing.
