Delta Green (2016)

Vampire: The Masquerade (5th Edition) is published by Renegade Games Studios and was released in 2018. It is a TTRPG-scene classic for vampire-themed games. Set in an alternative, but modern, world, called World of Darkness. The players will step into the shoes of recently turned vampires, now thrust into the dark underworld of the vampire society. It is a storytelling game focusing on personal and political horror. Description The players, now part of "The Masquerade" have to keep their new identity a secret from the human population, while at the same time engaging with various vampire clans and factions. Managing the new reality, both in terms of new societal norms and requirements, and their vampiric hunger, will set the players on a different "adventure" altogether.

Released in 2014 by Chaosium, Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition is the latest version of the cult-classic cosmic eldritch horror role-playing system originally launched in 1981. The story is based off of the  literary works of H.P. Lovecraft and lovecraftian works. Instead of setting the players up as heroes, the characters are regular investigators who are exploring cults, forbidden knowledge and various eldritch-cosmic entitites and threats. Description Occupations in the game for the characters include academics, reporters, and private investigators. The gameplay loop revolves around uncovering information, analyzing clues, and evading dangers. As the supernatural elements in the game are considered more powerful than the investigators, they have are not expected to actually confront most of the threats head on. Instead they usually have to resort to avoiding or escaping any situation that may arise. Combat is lethal and usually leads to characters getting permanently killed or pushed to insanity (which eventually is the same).  System Overview & Key Features Percentile Framework (d100) Every action is resolved by rolling two ten-sided (d10) dice to get a result from 1 to 100. If you roll is equal to or under your skill rating, the action is deemed a success. This approach simplifies the mechanical process of the game, as there are no complex tables to keep track of and compare to decypher whether it is a success or failure. Pushed Rolls If a character fails a skill check, they may attempt to "push" the roll, allowing for a second attempt. This requires the player to come up with a new, more desperate approach to performing the task. If this subsequent pushed roll also fails, the Keeper describes a severe and immediate negative consequence. Sanity and Madness A core mechanic of the system is the tracking of mental stability. Investigators lose points from their Sanity gauge when exposed to anomalous creatures or disturbing truths. Drops in Sanity result in the character experiencing temporary or permanent forms of madness, which can manifest as new phobias, delusions, or a temporary loss of player agency over the character. Bonus and Penalty Dice To account for situational advantages or disadvantages, the game employs a system of bonus and penalty dice. If a character possesses a distinct advantage when performing a task, an extra d10 is rolled and taking the higher result. A disadvantage means rolling an extra d10 and taking the lower result. Combat Lethality Physical altercations are inherently dangerous by design. Investigators possess limited hit points, and the damage output of both conventional firearms and anomalous entities is high. Recovery mechanics are slow, simulating realistic healing times. This structural lethality serves to discourage combat and incentivize stealth and investigation. Expendable Luck Players can spend points from their character's Luck pool to retroactively lower a dice roll. The points are subtracted on a one-to-one basis until the dice result qualifies as a success. This ensures that the Luck pool is a limited resource which should be used and utilized in the most critical situations.

Ouroboros: Age of Drowning is an original tabletop roleplaying game with its own setting and unique narrative-focused dice-pool system. Set in a dystopian world after the Meteor Fall, Ouroboros: Age of Drowning combines mystery, forbidden Alchemy, and surreal horror. The technocratic Clockwork Faction enforces a victorian New Order from its industrious Domed Cities, while rising seas consume the world beyond. As members of a League, you make discoveries in a world where Reality is unstable. Investigate strange phenomena, confront Factions with competing agendas, and encounter Aetherika, spirits, folklore made real, and horrors from the Otherworld. Venture into Dreamscapes, where Surreality blurs the boundary between worlds, and confront the Dark Thoughts within yourself as your Shadow grows. The game uses a dice-pool system designed around Traits, Specializations, and Focuses, giving characters different ways to approach problems rather than reducing them to a handful of broad attributes. Investigation, social maneuvering, survival, combat, occult practices, Dreamscapes, and forbidden Alchemy are all handled through the same core system.

Hand on the Door is an actual play Delta Green podcast of four best friends laughing into the void and kicking against the pricks. Sam leads Jimmy (FP), Mazie (Fruman) and Aubrey (Thaddeus) through a surrealist nightmare in New Mexico, an original campaign inspired by coffee black as midnight on a moonless night, children of Old Leech, and the writings of Sutter Cane. New episodes of HotD will be released every other week! Links youtube.com - Youtube channel spotify.com - Spotify feed podcasts.apple.com - Apple Podcasts feed

I kept being the one at the table saying "hang on, let me look it up", or I would remember a detail wrong. I built Loresight to help me out. It listens while you play. Say a spell name and the spell comes up. Say a monster's name and the stat block is on screen before you've finished the sentence. You tell it which categories to pay attention to (e.g. spells, items, monsters), so it isn't throwing item cards at you every time somebody mentions a rope. The microphone only runs while you've got listening switched on. It also works as a normal reference app so you can use quick search too. Loresight is free and will never be for sale. If anyone asks you to pay for it, it is not Loresight. The only official downloads are this Google Play listing and the GitHub releases page. Four systems come built in: D&D 5e (SRD 5.1), the 2024 5e SRD, Pathfinder 2e Remaster under the ORC licence, and Daggerheart SRD 1.0. You can add more content and systems. A system is just a JSON content pack, and once it's loaded the app treats it like any of the built-in ones. You can browse it, search it, and the assistant will spot its names while you talk. There's nothing D&D-specific buried in the code. Homebrew sits next to the official content rather than replacing it. Browsing works the ordinary way when you'd rather do it yourself. Search by name or work down through the types. Entries link to each other, so you get from a monster to the spell it casts in one tap. Search only ever covers the system you're playing, so Pathfinder results never turn up in a D&D game. There's a notetaker as well. It transcribes anything it hears directly to text. It won't identify people, but where possible it will add "new speaker" with a line break so sentences don't run into each other. All of this runs on the device. Speech recognition is local, audio is processed and thrown away immediately and is never saved, and there's no account, server or analytics anywhere in it. Turn the wifi off and nothing changes. The install is large for the same reason: the speech models are inside the app. Android is the primary platform and the best-tested build. The Windows, Mac and Linux apps are the same thing, but they aren't code-signed because there's no budget for the certificates those platforms charge for, so expect a one-time "unidentified Fair warning: the listening is best effort and won't always be 100% accurattrade-off in on-device speech models. I'm also limited to allowed contentonly for this release, since that's what can be handed out, with the attributions in the app. This is why I made it extensible with an import/export system. There is no affiliation with or sponsored support from any of the systems included.
