Marrying Mr. Darcy
Marrying Mr. Darcy is a role-playing game where players are one of the female characters from Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice. Players work to improve themselves and become more desirable as potential wives for the available Suitors. The ladies do this by attending Events and improving their Characters, but advantage can be gained by the use of Cunning. All of their efforts are in hopes of securing the husband that will make them the most satisfied character at the end of the game. Game play is divided into two stages: the initial Courtship Stage and the concluding Proposal Stage. The Courtship Stage is when players try to improve their Heroine’s chances of happiness by earning points playing Character Cards, and acquiring or playing Cunning Cards. Character Points help you to attract Suitors, and also count toward your total number of Character points at the end of the game. Cunning Points do not count towards your building your Character. However, the Heroine who has acquired the most Cunning will be the first player to enter the Proposal Stage later in the game, putting her at a significant advantage. The Proposal Stage begins when Event Cards have been played. In this stage, players will roll to see which Suitor proposes to them, decide if they will marry them, and calculate their final score.

CONTROL THE COURSE OF THE HIDDEN WARS! Take your place as gamemaster of a dark epic RPG set in an age of world-shaking heroes and villains vying to protect or corrupt humanity. This is a setting rife with brutal battles, sinister plots, and murderous intrigue, blending Lovecraftian cosmic horror with ancient civilizations who must rise above old feuds. As gamemaster, you will bring this world to life, shining a light into dark corners along the borders of an expanding empire encroaching on proud cultures already beset by nefarious threats. The supernatural wars are instigated and controlled by secretive cabals. The most powerful of these are led by quasi-immortal beings who have turned to dark magic, poorly understood relics, and unholy pacts to extend their lifespans. This includes the last remnants of fallen Atlantis, whose shadow spreads wide. Some of these groups are largely benevolent, if pragmatic and sometimes cruel, seeking to safeguard humanity against its greatest foes. Others are fully devoted to the Outer Gods and would see the world burn. Will your players rise to become great legends or, like so many others, fall to the corruptive temptations offered by Mythos Gods? Their fates are in your hands. Features: Detailed information on the factions at play, including the history of the Hidden Wars, and a guide to the frontier town of Laurium, which serves as an ideal place for heroic PCs of all backgrounds to assemble. Perspectives on the mindset of the ancient era and how this can inform your own games, including an examination of the gods and divine pantheons of the ancient world. Lore and rules systems to generate artifacts of legend, including those built by the fallen Atlanteans, the vanished Hyperboreans, and the lurking Mythos cults. Description of the magic tomes and grimoires, with four complete spellbooks covering Mormo, Nyarlathotep, Cthulhu, and Yog-Sothoth. A repository of profiles for adversaries including potent and dangerous mortals as well as many monstrous Mythos creatures. Special advancement options to create Voidforged, the most experienced PCs who have shouldered difficult burdens in exchange for great power. Detailed Plot Generator to help generate NPCs, Hooks, Plot Concepts, Antagonists, Themes, Goals, Objectives, Artifacts, Locations, and more.

Cohors Cthulhu RPG: Legends of Laurium - Fiction Anthology
Laurium is a bustling but isolated town on the edge of Germanic territory controlled by the Roman Empire in the late second century. There, daily life can be difficult, laden with simmering tension between the citizens of the empire, whose soldiers control the town, and the Germanic people who have lived in this region as long as anyone can remember. They are the descendants of proud tribes who reluctantly bent their knees to Roman conquerors, though many still plot to see these interlopers overthrown. Yet strange creatures lurk in the forests beyond Laurium's palisade walls and stalk the forgotten tunnels beneath the town. These foul monsters are tied to sinister forces that threaten life and sanity, themselves echoes of malevolent alien gods from beyond the stars-deities older than Rome, older even than lost Atlantis, who see humanity as nothing but fodder and fuel. These are the collected stories of an odd assortment of unlikely heroes of Laurium. Although they all come from different walks of life and backgrounds, they must set aside old enmities and bitter feuds in order to save their home from the sinister plots of devious cultists. For at the bidding of these power-hungry individuals, a greater threat arises from its slumber-a god of slaughter, sealed away long ago and nearly forgotten. Welcome to Cohors Cthulhu: Legends of Laurium! This 204-page fiction anthology features the stories of the brave few who risk everything to safeguard both friend and foe from an unimaginable evil. Here, in this ancient and mysterious land, the Hidden Wars play out in full. Those brave heroes willing to confront the darkness will claim hidden knowledge and eternal glory-but terror, insanity, and doom await those who fail.

Embody these heroes and forge unlikely bonds with former enemies to confront the Cult of Mormo, minions of Nyarlathotep and Yog-Sothoth, and other nefarious cabals. Mi-Go skitter voraciously through the tunnels of lost mines, while Deep Ones lurk beneath the waves seeking sacrifices. Answer the call of secret organizations like the Fingers of Dawn and Temperari, who possess the knowledge and will to defy the malevolent gods. These groups offer the secrets of mystic arts and access to the legendary weapons of Atlantis. Your enemies wield dark magics and profaned relics, their minds corrupted by the whispers of beings like Sarthothus, a shattered god whose divided mind lurks within the very weapons you require to defeat the cults inviting humanity’s doom. Can you prevail against overwhelming odds, or will you succumb, like so many others, to Mythos forces that thrive on conflict and war? This is your story!

Barbarian Kingdoms
"Gold is the lifeblood of the war!" As the Hun horde swept across Europe, they forced the Germanic tribes into exodus. These warlike peoples spread within the borders of the Western Empire and, by dint of looting and war, will eventually cause the collapse of the Empire. In the twilight of antiquity and at the dawn of the Middle Ages, the so-called "barbarian nations" founded kingdoms on the former imperial territory. In Barbarian Kingdoms, an asymmetrical and competitive strategy game, each player controls their own nascent kingdom and competes for supremacy over Western Europe. The first player to control seven territories or to eliminate two opposing kings wins. On a turn, each player chooses and resolves a single action of their choice: Recruitment: deploy a warrior from the reserve by paying a cost Taxation: collect money from the provinces in their kingdom Assault: invade a province or attack an enemy unit Maneuvers: reposition their units in their provinces or towards the sea Claim: try to take control of a province by paying a cost Assault and claim actions can be immediately challenged by an opponent and resolved by a battle. During the battle, a bribe may be paid to the opponent to try to reverse the outcome. Players must be vigilant in positioning their forces (with the constraint of a maximum of one unit per province), keep an eye on their opponents, and take advantage of their two asymmetrical powers: that of their kingdom and that of their king.
