A massively in-depth 10th Century Viking/Celtic city setting written by Ed Greenwood and published by Pendelhaven.

System agnostic. Ath Cliath is the legendary city of Dublin. An excellent complement to Children of Eiru system and many others.  

The Vikings have conquered the richest port in Hibernia, and the One-Eyed King sits on the Riverfleet Throne. He rules a city ever-richer, a place of swift minds and much wealth, and bustling business and intrigue, a bright beacon in a darkening world. What is King Sitric up to? He doubles the price of everything with his taxes; where does all that money go?

In these pages, you’ll meet hundreds of people, with detailed backstories and desires. Ath Cliath comes alive down to the last street cobble and swooping seagull, all that work is already done for you — so you can concentrate on the ADVENTURE!

The world is in turmoil, the apocalypse known as “Ragnarök”, or as the Gael call it “the Twilight”, has begun.

A prompt based re-playable 5 room dungeon. 15 minutes to 1.5 hours

Dungeon Crawler is a collaborative storytelling game with RPG elements. Using a deck of regular playing cards, players describe their character and then take turns creating rooms in a dungeon. After a room has been fully developed, players will collectively explore the room to defeat monsters, gather treasure, and make their way to the final chamber.

Dungeon Crawler has been made so that the intensity of the content is what you put into it. This makes the game ideal for younger players who are new to roleplaying, as well as experienced gamers wanting to weave a darker story. Because the game is played room-by-room and recorded on a shared document, it is easy to stop playing and pick it up later, spending only 15-30 minutes each session. As long as one player has a physical deck of cards, the game can be played over a video chat service, as well as in person.

It has been written, it has been foretold, but will it come to pass?

God-Killer Prophecy is a one-shot collaborative RPG played against the escalating threat of the dark god—represented by a deck of playing cards. God-Killer Prophecy is drawing (illustrating) game where you forge a world and a legend together.

In the prologue you use cards to create a prophecy, and answer questions to create the the dark god, the chosen one and his companions.

Play in Chapters 1-6 is divided into two major phases: Auguries Phase and the Adventure Phase

Adventure Phase

You use two regular decks of playing cards. One a heroes deck, and one the dark gods deck. In each chapter you face at least two threats, where the heroes use their cards to overcome the dark gods deck.

The heroes lose card's as they face challenges and must get more cards into the hands of the chosen one so they can defeat the dark lord in the final confrontation.

While that is happening the dark god's deck also loses cards, but only the weakest, causing increasing tension.

Auguries Phase

The playing cards are first used to setup the prophecy. This is the first thing that shapes the story.

Then there are question prompts for each chapter that guides players to illustrate where they find themselves and who and what they must do. This then feeds into the challenges of the Adventure Phase.

I thought to myself one day -- "I want a one shot story-game with teeth." And then I thought, "if I am doing that it must be the high-fantasy epic that I loved to read." Thus, God-Killer Prophecy was born.

Key inspirations for the author/designer were the Belgariad series (David Eddings), the Sword of Shannara series (Terry Brooks) and The Dark is Rising Sequence (Susan Cooper).

Game design inspirations include Palanquin (Genesis of Legend Publishing), Vanagard (Pendelhaven Publishing) and The Quiet Year (Buried Without Ceremony).
