Ok! I have enough projects to cover the first half of the year. But I'm on the lookout for the next wave for when I get back from Korea in July. So reach out!

Do you have something you've made that uses LUMEN, Slayers, or RUNE? Would you like to have it printed? Reach out! I'm building a catalog of partners where Gila RPGs publishes print copies of your thing, and you get paid. Queen of the Pass and WYRD are the first entries, maybe yours is next!

We are now playtesting for HOMEWORLD SONG. Wanna join? A solo journaling TTRPG about an alien's grand odyssey from their homeworld of Aern to the invasion of Earth. It’s a game about finding out who you truly are in the face of unimaginable tragedy -- and surviving.

A mournful, geometric cover image for a tabletop roleplaying game called Homeworld Song. On the picture, an alien looks up yearningly at at the image of a musical image suspended in white light. Behind the alien, an archipelagic world turns.

Finally(!) I've finished the map art for all of the planets of Solarcrawl. I've been working on this one for years, and am incredibly grateful for all of you who've supported this fantasy heartbreaker. Backers *should* be getting the campaign section in their inboxes at the end of the month.

A whole lot of planets with hex maps on them.

One of the things I loved about the Heroism system in Last Caravan was the way it drove the player to take actions that were good for the type of game it was looking to make AND had unique prompts for different playbooks. This meant that players were always driven towards dramatic, archetypal play.

I’ve been playing around with this a bit, and it’s really cool (as a standalone game, worldbuilding tool, or PC backstory generator). My alien lost his father to dementia, his mother in the planet’s collapse, then was radicalized by alien researchers who chose earth as their target for conquest.

COVER REVEAL for the solo journalling game that we're including inside The Last Caravan's next expansion: Homeworld Song! It’s a game about finding out who you (an alien) truly are in the face of unimaginable tragedy (your world dying).

Solo games aren't my thing, but damn this is an amazing cover. Also, if you're not aware, The Last Caravan is a #TTRPG about a road trip through a frozen apocalypse to get to safety in the aftermath of an alien invasion. It's FitD-like, but lighter rules-wise than BitD, and just a cool game.
