The Computer is your friend.
You must keep Friend Computer happy.
To do otherwise is Treason.
Welcome to the miniatures version of the iconic, dark-humour Paranoia RPG, adapted by the same team as Five Parsecs from Home and Five Leagues from the Borderlands.
Want a game where teammates have each other’s backs and work together to accomplish a noble goal? Well, this ain’t it.
Join a so-called ‘team’ of Troubleshooters (find the trouble, get shot) and complete missions that keep Alpha Complex the safe, efficient Utopia its citizens trust. None of them are members of secret societies, and absolutely none of them have mutant powers. They’re certainly not going to report each other as Traitors or shoot each other in the back with a laser pistol. Hey, get them before they get you!
And if you die, don’t worry, you have five identical clones to take your place and mop up what’s left of you.
Trust The Computer. It never makes mjstakes.
- Procedural solo, co-op and group play rules and gamemastered options throughout.
- Fast-moving system, emphasising fun over complexity
- 50 Mutant Powers that you definitely don’t have
- 20 pieces of starting equipment.
- Mission generator, plus 20 Scenarios with 7 Objective types.
- Secret Society and Security Clearance rules
- Foes including IntSec Troopers, Vulture Squadron Warriors, Bots, Mutant Creatures, Monsters, and Aliens, and, of course, your fellow clones
- Rules for random hazards, cameras, vending machines, even doors
- Optional rules for Mandatory Bonus Duties, Service Groups, and more
- 10 status effects – you too can be Confused, Stunned, Bleeding, Stressed, Infected, and more. Often at the same time!
Embrace the anxiety.
Paranoia will keep you safe.
Trust No-One and Keep Your Laser Handy!

The Silent Tongue: A Guide to Thieves' Cant
In most games, Thieves' Cant is a handwave. You roll a check, you understand the message, you move on. A mechanic, not a world.
But a secret language is not a handwave. It is a living, breathing dialect shaped by the streets, the roads, the sea. It has regional accents, gestures that can start a war or save a life, and marks chalked on doorframes that mean everything to those who know how to read them. It is the language of the desperate, the cunning, and the betrayed.
This guide gives you everything you need to bring Thieves' Cant to life at your table. No more rolling and forgetting. Instead, immerse your players in a world where a beggar's scratch of the nose can warn of an ambush, a chalk circle on a warehouse door means "fence inside," and a black spot delivered at midnight is a death sentence.
What's Inside?
- The History of Cant – how real criminal languages evolved from necessity
- Regional Variants – City Cant (fast, clipped, for pickpockets and beggars), Road Cant (sparse, for smugglers and highway robbers), Port Cant (nautical, for dockworkers and fences), and Pirate Cant (democratic, for the Brotherhood)
- Lexicon, Gestures, and Marks – sample phrases, subtle hand signals, and chalk symbols that rogues leave for each other
- Seniority and "The Made Man" – how rogues earn the right to speak the full cant, the ritual of initiation, and the privileges of the senior rogue
- The Black Spot – the ultimate mark of rejection in pirate culture and urban guilds, and how to use it as a story engine
- 10 Adventure Hooks – from a coded letter that leads to a hidden treasure, to a lost dialect carved on a gravestone that might awaken a curse
Why This Guide?
Because the underworld is not a monolith. It has its own cultures, its own politics, and its own languages. Using Thieves' Cant at your table signals to your players that they are entering a world with depth, history, and rules that are not written in any lawbook. It transforms a simple skill check into a moment of genuine mystery and discovery.
Who This Is For:
- DMs who want their criminal underworld to feel like a living subculture, not a quest hub
- Players who want to earn the right to speak the secret tongue, not just roll a die
- Anyone who understands that the language of the shadows is as rich and varied as any royal court's

The beggar scratches his nose. The chalk mark glows faintly in the lantern light. The black spot waits in a darkened room. Do you know what they mean?

 | Ten Ranger Beast Friend Encounters Regular price: 0 Bundle price: 0 Format: PDF | DM Essentials #133: 10 Ranger Beast-Friend Encounters
In most games, the ranger's animal companion is just a stat block. It attacks, it tracks, it takes damage. A tool, not a friend.
But a beast-friend is not a tool. It is a partner who hunts, sleeps, and fights beside the ranger. The bond is older than speech, deeper than loyalty. When it breaks, the ranger is never whole again. The animal has its own will, its own fears, its own pride. It may refuse a command. It may act in ways the ranger does not expect. It may fall in battle, and the ranger will carry that grief like a wound that never heals.
DM Essentials #133 gives you ten ways to make the ranger's bond with an animal feel real, fragile, and unforgettable. This is not about combat advantage. It is about loyalty, loss, and the qui... |
 | Ten Ranger Blight Walker Encounters Regular price: 0 Bundle price: 0 Format: PDF | DM Essentials #137: 10 Ranger Blight-Walker Encounters
In most games, corrupted land is just a hazard. You take poison damage, maybe fight a monster, then move on. The land heals offscreen.
But a ranger who walks into the blight does not walk out unchanged. Their skin grows pale, their eyes clouded, their cough never quite leaving. They are marked by the land they try to save. The work is slow, dangerous, and often hopeless. They carry the corruption with them – in their lungs, in their scars, in the slow decay of their own body. They fight what cannot be healed, knowing that the best they can hope for is to slow the spread.
DM Essentials #137 gives you ten ways to make blight-walkers feel desperate, self‑sacrificing, and quietly tragic. They are not heroes – they are the ones who go wh... |
 | Ten Ranger Border Warden Encounters Regular price: 0 Bundle price: 0 Format: PDF | DM Essentials #132: 10 Ranger Border Warden Encounters
In most games, the border is just a line on a map. You cross it, maybe the guards ask a question, then you move on.
But a border warden is not a guard. They do not stand at a gate or wear a uniform. Their post is a forgotten trail, a smugglers' pass, a stretch of river that no one patrols. They watch for enemies, for refugees, for the desperate and the hunted. They are judge, jury, and sometimes executioner. No one thanks them. No one knows their name. They are the line between order and chaos, and they stand alone. The weight of every crossing, every life saved or turned away, rests on their shoulders.
DM Essentials #132 gives you ten ways to make border wardens feel isolated, burdened, and quietly heroic. They are not soldiers – t... |
 | Ten Ranger Burial Encounters Regular price: 0 Bundle price: 0 Format: PDF | DM Essentials #141: 10 Ranger Burial Encounters
In most games, the dead just vanish. A body is looted, a grave is mentioned, and the party moves on. Death is a speed bump.
But a ranger who buries the fallen knows that death is not a speed bump. It is a weight. The ground is hard, the markers are few, and the faces of those they have buried stay with them forever. They dig graves in frozen soil, say prayers to the wind, and carve names into stone that no one else will read. They do not fight for glory. They fight so that the fallen are not forgotten. The dead do not rest alone, and the living who bury them carry the memory of every single one.

 | Ten Ranger Exile Encounters Regular price: 0 Bundle price: 0 Format: PDF |
DM Essentials #135: 10 Ranger Exile Encounters
In most games, the lone ranger in the wilderness is just a hermit. They live alone, they know the land, they offer a quest. A bit of colour before the party moves on.
But a ranger who cannot go home is not a hermit. They are a tragedy that has lasted years, maybe decades. Cast out from their tribe, their order, their homeland. They carry the weight of a crime they may or may not have committed. They walk the wilds because the civilised world has closed its doors. They are dangerous, not because they are cruel, but because they have nothing left to lose. They know the forest better than any settled ranger, but the wild does not comfort. It simply is.
DM Essentials #135 gives you ten ways to make ranger exiles feel broken, haunted, and unfo... |
 | Ten Ranger Forager Encounters Regular price: 0 Bundle price: 0 Format: PDF | DM Essentials #140: 10 Ranger Forager Encounters
In most games, foraging is just a Survival check. Roll the die, find some food, move on. A simple mechanical task.
But a ranger who lives off the land knows that the forest is not a pantry. It is a living thing that must be read, respected, and sometimes fought. They know which mushrooms are safe, which roots heal, which berries will kill. Their knowledge is not magical – it is the result of years of trial and error, of sick stomachs and lucky finds. They are the reason the party does not starve. But they also carry the weight of every mistake, every misidentification, every time they fed someone something they should not have.
DM Essentials #140 gives you ten ways to make ranger foragers feel knowledgeable, humble, and deeply connected t... |
 | Ten Ranger Guide Encounters Regular price: 0 Bundle price: 0 Format: PDF | DM Essentials #138: 10 Ranger Guide Encounters
In most games, the guide is just a shortcut. You pay, they lead, you arrive. A simple transaction.
But a ranger who leads strangers through the wild does not just know the path. They carry the weight of every life entrusted to them. They must judge who can keep up, who will panic, who will betray. They have lost travellers before – to rivers that rose too fast, to bandits they did not see, to storms that came without warning. They still see the faces of those they could not save. A guide is not a guardian, but they are the one who has to live with the loss.
DM Essentials #138 gives you ten ways to make ranger guides feel burdened, skilled, and morally complex. They are not walking maps. They are the ones who lead – and who bear the cost whe... |
 | Ten Ranger Last Watch Encounters Regular price: 0 Bundle price: 0 Format: PDF | DM Essentials #136: 10 Ranger Last Watch Encounters
In most games, the watchtower is just a landmark. A place on the map, maybe a quest hook. The ranger inside is a few lines of dialogue.
But a ranger who has stood alone on a remote tower for years, watching for enemies that never come, for signals that never arrive – they are not a landmark. They are a vigil. Their duty is to be ready, always, for nothing. They watch the same horizon, the same trees, the same path until they begin to see things that are not there. They ask themselves: is the threat real, or have I been staring into the dark so long I have forgotten how to see the light?
DM Essentials #136 gives you ten ways to make the last watch feel lonely, desperate, and quietly heroic. These are not combat encounters. They are moment... |
 | Ten Ranger Scout Encounters Regular price: 0 Bundle price: 0 Format: PDF | DM Essentials #139: 10 Ranger Scout Encounters
In most games, scouting is just a Stealth check. Roll the die, see the enemy, report back. A simple action.
But a scout who walks ahead of the army sees more than the enemy's numbers. They see the faces of soldiers who will die, the weakness in the wall that will be exploited, the route of the supply wagons that will be ambushed. They carry knowledge that cannot be written down – the mood of the camp, the fear in a sentry's eyes, the name of a traitor. They are often alone, always afraid, and never thanked. If they are caught, they are not soldiers. They are spies, and spies are not ransomed.
DM Essentials #139 gives you ten ways to make ranger scouts feel isolated, desperate, and quietly heroic. They are not couriers. They are the eyes tha... |
 | Ten Ranger Tracker Encounters Regular price: 0 Bundle price: 0 Format: PDF | DM Essentials #134: 10 Ranger Tracker Encounters
In most games, tracking is just a Survival check. Roll the die, follow the trail, find the monster. The story is in the destination, not the path.
But a tracker reads a trail like a confession. They know whether the person they are following is running, walking, limping, carrying something heavy. They know how long ago they passed, whether they are afraid, whether they are with others. A stumble means exhaustion. A change in gait means injury. A pause means doubt. The tracker is a hunter of people, and the morality of that is never simple. They have brought back the guilty and the innocent, and they remember the faces of those they could not save.

DM Essentials #141: 10 Ranger Burial Encounters
In most games, the dead just vanish. A body is looted, a grave is mentioned, and the party moves on. Death is a speed bump.
But a ranger who buries the fallen knows that death is not a speed bump. It is a weight. The ground is hard, the markers are few, and the faces of those they have buried stay with them forever. They dig graves in frozen soil, say prayers to the wind, and carve names into stone that no one else will read. They do not fight for glory. They fight so that the fallen are not forgotten. The dead do not rest alone, and the living who bury them carry the memory of every single one.
DM Essentials #141 gives you ten ways to make ranger burials feel like a sacred duty – not a chore. These are not combat encounters. They are moments of grief, tradition, and the quiet dignity of remembering those who cannot speak for themselves.
What's Inside?
The Burial's World (Short Essay): Why rangers bury the dead, what the rituals mean, and how the weight of memory shapes the living.
10 Encounters with the Unmarked Grave: Each one gives you a situation, the truth behind it, and a way for the players to respond.
- The Unburied – The ground is too hard. The ranger cannot dig alone. Help them bury a friend.
- The Mass Grave – Dozens of bodies, one exhausted ranger. Help dig, pray, or gather stones for markers.
- The Forgotten – A ranger searches for a grave they marked years ago. They promised to return with an offering.
- The Confession – "I had to leave a comrade behind. There was no time to bury them. I have carried the guilt ever since."
- The Desecration – A grave has been dug up – by animals, by grave‑robbers, by scavengers. Restore it and find the culprits.
- The Offering – A cup of water, a piece of bread, a handful of wildflowers. The dead still hunger for memory.
- The Ghost – A spirit walks at night. Something is unfinished. Lay them to rest.
- The Rival – Two rangers argue over where to bury a mutual friend. Both are telling the truth as they remember it.
- The Legacy – An old ranger digs their own grave. "I want to choose where I lie."
- The Promise – A token to carry to a distant grave. The ranger is too old, too sick. Keep the promise.
Quick Reference Table: Roll d10 and get a full encounter hook in seconds.
Who This Is For:
- DMs who want death to have weight, not just loot
- Players who think a grave is just a hole until they have to dig one for a friend
- Anyone who understands that the dead are not gone as long as someone remembers

Tales & Tomes Issue 6: The Waking Forest
This is Issue 6 of Tales & Tomes. 57 pages of setting agnostic, table ready content for 5th Edition, written by a DM who runs games for DMs who run games.
What's Inside
The Waking Forest - A 3 to 4 hour adventure for four characters of 8th to 10th level. Brindlemark's loggers pushed past the old Greenveil boundary markers, and the Rootwarden has woken up. A grieving druid named Theron Forsworn is directing its rage at the town. Three possible endings, including a negotiation climax instead of a boss fight. Encounter scaling notes for parties of 3 or 5 at every step. Pages from Theron's journal included as handouts.
Ancient Guardians - Five primordial titans built as a full campaign spine from level 8 to 20. The Rootwarden (CR 12), the Stonewarden (CR 14), the Tidewarden (CR 16), the Dunewarden (CR 18), and the Frostwarden (CR 20) as the capstone. Each one runs in two modes: Standoff (lair pressure, world degradation, negotiation framework) and Combat (full solo boss stat block). Each has an elemental weakness that bypasses defenses and shuts off Phase 2 regeneration. Includes a wrath escalation timer, awakening triggers by biome, and a DM toolkit for building your own.
Arcane Alley - The wandering market returns with a new shop. Dungeon Loot Co returns with a restock. The Last Draft is a custom potion brewery run by Maren Dolwar, a drow alchemist who does not negotiate price and does not make small talk. Plus a fresh d12 encounter table (V6) with twelve new moments, from a staircase that ends at a brick wall to a sleepwalking elf with shoes that don't match.
Roots and Remembrance - Four new General Feats for the wilderness born: the tracker who leaves no trail, the listener who hears what the trees are saying, the survivor whose skin has thickened like old bark, and the one who has been left for dead and refused to stay there. Plus six new spells for druids and rangers, from a cantrip that trips enemies with remembered roots to a 5th level spell that forces a city street to remember the forest it replaced.
Plus an introduction to the Flex-Attune system (baseline benefit while carried, full power when attuned), the Carved Heartwood Amulet, the Staff of the Deepwood, and the Rootwarden Heartwood as a legendary-rarity crafting component with a 90 day decay clock.

Japanese Mansion — Shinden Zukuri (54”×60”)
Step into the refined elegance of classical Japanese architecture with this sprawling shinden-zukuri mansion. Your players will navigate between multiple pavilions connected by covered walkways, each structure positioned around tranquil garden courtyards & koi ponds. The traditional raised floors & open design create countless opportunities for dramatic entrances, sneaky infiltrations, & rooftop chases across those distinctive sloped tiles.
The central water feature winds through the compound garden like a serpentine moat, complete with ornamental bridges that could serve as chokepoints or dramatic duel locations. Whether hosting a tea ceremony that turns deadly or investigating a murder mystery among the nobility, this authentic estate provides the perfect backdrop for intrigue!
Thoughts

- Harbor a prayer at the fox statue, corner shrine, or perhaps at the graves scattered across the island garden.
- The massacre variant transforms this peaceful estate into a crime scene, perfect for investigation campaigns or showing the aftermath of a failed diplomatic mission.
