Presented in a comic-inspired format, each Issue blends cinematic storytelling with structured gameplay—designed to be read, run, and experienced like a living story.

Seattle is under pressure.

Disappearances are being written off.
Drones are appearing where they shouldn’t.
And the Agency is already moving to control the narrative.

The truth?

There’s a pattern.

And behind it—

something is smiling.

This is not a traditional module.

No safe outcomes.
No clean victories.

Instead, you get:

A living scenario that pushes back.

Agility Solo for 5e

Compatible with Nimble

Getting a group together to learn rules and keep a regular game going is incredibly hard. If you have an itch to play but the stars haven't aligned for game night, Agility Solo for 5e is designed to solve that problem.

Built specifically for the streamlined Nimble system, this book gives you everything you need to play without a Game Master. Embracing a "lightest touch" philosophy, these solo tools sit quietly in the background so it doesn't feel like you are playing a different game entirely. You wear two hats: you play your character, and the dice run the world.

Inside, you will find a complete toolkit to drive your solo campaigns:

• The Oracle: Answer any "Yes" or "No" question the DM would usually answer by using the familiar d20 Advantage and Disadvantage mechanics.

• The Muse: Generate instant inspiration for open-ended questions, rumors, and plot hooks using word prompts and context.

• Improvisation Tools: Keep the story moving with easily generated Micro Tables, the "Three Things" drilling-down technique, and "Chekhov’s Gun" to make your world feel cohesive.

• Narrative Management: Structure your adventures in three acts, use "Interrupts" to advance villain plots, and use "Drama Dice" to introduce ticking-clock tension.

Whether you want to test out a new character build, run a test adventure, or embark on an epic sandbox campaign, Agility Solo for 5e gives you the freedom to do it all. Solo roleplay is a skill, not a bag of wrenches. Grab your dice, jump In Media Res, and play your game, your way!

Highwind Aerie — Cliffside Outpost 40×28

Highwind Aerie is a carved‑stone cliffside outpost built into the mountain’s edge, overlooking the cloud‑covered valleys far below. The aerie provides shelter, storage, and workspace for those who tend griffons or maintain high‑altitude patrols. A broad exterior platform serves as a launch and landing zone, while the interior hall supports daily operations in a harsh, wind‑shaped environment.

Included Maps

Highwind Aerie — a functional cliffside outpost featuring a stone‑cut hall, narrow mountain access stairs, and a wide landing platform used for griffon handling, scouting, or high‑altitude travel. The layout is arranged for clarity, tactical readability, and grounded environmental storytelling.

Variants provide alternate lighting, weather, and narrative‑state changes for different encounter styles.

Cold
A thin layer of frost covers stone surfaces and railings, creating a harsher, winter‑bitten version of the aerie.

Sunset
The aerie rests in the mountain’s shadow while the clouds below glow with warm late‑day light.

Night‑Lit
Lanterns and interior lighting illuminate the hall and work areas while the platform remains open to the night air.

Night‑Dark
Moonlight spills across the landing platform while the interior lies in deep shadow, ideal for stealth or nocturnal activity.

Active
Supplies, tools, and signs of daily work fill the hall and platform, depicting the aerie at full operational readiness.

Abandoned
Cobwebs, disturbed storage, and empty roosts create a looted, weathered, and long‑deserted outpost.

Brigand’s Hold
The aerie has been repurposed by illicit occupants, with subtle signs of trade, signaling, and opportunistic habitation.

Knight’s Barracks
Orderly gear, structured living space, and disciplined arrangement reflect organized martial defenders.

Monk’s Refuge
Simple bedding, meditation areas, and daily‑task spaces reshape the hall into a quiet, contemplative retreat.

Scholar’s Retreat
Scrolls, notes, instruments, and study materials transform the aerie into a remote research site above the clouds.

Deep Space - 2385

The characters awake from cryo-sleep by an alert. A Priority 1 message was just received from the characters' employer: Cardis Insurance. A nearby space station was claimed to have been lost to an asteroid field; however, the station appears to be completely intact and life support systems remain online. The characters are tasked with boarding the station to determine the validity of the claim and removing any and all active threats. 

Stimulant is a trifold module for the Strange Times RPG. 

Price: $2.00

Publisher: Strange Times

Strange Times is a mystery horror RPG that combines the competency of investigation narratives with the powerlessness of horror stories. Players will be taking on the role of those who became obsessed with learning about the dark forces hiding in their world--be they monsters, aliens, or ghosts. Every dive into the dark unknown will wear them down until they need to claw their way back into the light. The premise of a game could be anything from cavemen discovering a tunnel to the center of the earth, to modern day podcasters that don’t have the best understanding of boundaries or safety. Just so long as they have an excuse to find the horrors hiding in the night.

Strange Times offers a unique blend of mechanics that naturally progress through the arc of horror stories. Characters will begin every episode capable of overcoming almost any challenge, only for the stress and pressure of the underlying threat to wear them thin for the final confrontation where characters will need to risk everything to succeed.
In addition, Strange Times can take place in any setting and offers flexible systems that are easy and fun to alter, allowing for limitless imagination and creation. Perfect for making strange horrors of your own or running modules from different systems in one game.

CORE MECHANIC:

Strange Times uses a D100 Roll Low System. Players have 6 Traits (Strength, Speed, Intellect, Knowledge, Instinct, and Empathy) and 3 Saves (Body, Mind, and Spirit) as their core attributes. Whenever a player wishes to perform an action, the player will attempt to roll under the relevant Trait to succeed. If a player has an applicable Skill to the action, the player can add it to the Trait before the roll. When a character needs to react to something, they will attempt to roll under their Save. 

 

UNIQUE MECHANICS:

Saves as a Resource

Each Save has 2 corresponding Traits connected to it. When a player fails a Trait Roll, they can choose to spend some of their Save to succeed instead by paying the difference between what they rolled and what they needed to roll (a mechanic called Pushing). For example, if someone was lying to a police officer about the alien they have in the trunk and failed the Empathy roll by 8, they could lose 8 from their Spirit Save to succeed instead.

 

Progressive Consequences

Whenever a character fails a Save, they receive a consequence based on the number rolled. The lower the failed roll was, the worse the outcome. Failing with a 100-71 is a Minor Consequence, a 70-41 is a Major Consequence, a 40-11 is a Severe Consequence, and a 10-1 is Fatal. This means that Saves are not just a measure of how close to death a character is, but how much danger they are actively in. The worst consequence that can happen to a Character with a 50 Body Save is a Major Consequence at a 20% chance, but as they Push rolls and take damage, they make it more and more likely for a worse outcome to occur.

 

Flexible Conditions

A common consequence that the GM can use is giving a character a condition. Conditions, at their most simple, are negative Skills that can be used against a player. For example, if a monster was chasing a character and they were making a Speed roll to get away, they might have a -10 “Twist Ankle” Condition affecting them. However, Conditions leave room for a lot of mechanical creativity outside of just being negative modifiers. A Condition can also represent an Infection ticking down until it takes hold, a chemical effect making the character more prone to risked based behavior, or a ghostly procession leeching away their life force.

Publisher: Adventure Ripples

The Living Mirror is a living vessel of Hathor, chosen by the Golden Lady to embody love, beauty, joy, and the sacred power of emotional truth. Where others impose will upon the world, the Living Mirror reflects it back amplified, softened, or transformed. They stand at the center of bonds between people, drawing strength from connection, devotion, and shared feeling.

The Living Mirror plays primarily as a support and enabler, excelling at enhancing allies, redistributing harm, manipulating emotional states, and turning relationships (love, loyalty, grief, or devotion) into tangible power on the battlefield.

Sides of the Living Mirror reflect different expressions of Hathor’s divinity:

•  Side of Devotion: These Mirrors embody Hathor as goddess of love, loyalty, and sacred bonds. They form powerful emotional tethers with allies, sharing strength, wounds, and resolve. Their powers grow stronger the deeper their connection, making them unparalleled protectors of those they cherish.

•  Side of Joy: These Mirrors channel Hathor’s laughter, music, and celebration. Their presence invigorates allies, dispels despair, and turns momentum into overwhelming morale. Joy becomes a weapon and a shield, lifting companions beyond fear or exhaustion.

•  Side of Sorrow: Drawing from Hathor’s capacity for compassion and mourning, these Mirrors transform grief into power. They absorb pain, sorrow, and despair, redirecting it into healing for allies or psychic pressure against foes. Where tears fall, strength follows.

What is this publication?

Some challenges are overcome with strength. Others reward patience, observation, and a steady mind.

Quest for Hidden Words: Adventurer’s Challenge is a collection of Dungeons & Dragons–inspired word search puzzles, designed for players, Dungeon Masters, and fantasy enthusiasts who enjoy engaging with the world of adventure in a quieter, more contemplative way. This volume presents ten medium-difficulty puzzles, each built around core elements of the D&D experience—ranging from adventuring terminology and character classes to monsters, spells, equipment, and the many roles that shape a fantasy world.

Designed to be approachable yet satisfying, these puzzles offer a balanced challenge that rewards careful attention and pattern recognition. Each grid invites you to slow down, focus, and uncover what lies hidden beneath the surface—much like exploring a dungeon, studying ancient lore, or preparing for the trials ahead.

Though inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, this collection is fully system-neutral and can be enjoyed independently or alongside any 5th Edition campaign. Whether used between sessions, during downtime at the table, or as a standalone activity, these puzzles provide a thematic extension of the fantasy experience.

Each puzzle includes:

• A full 20×20 word search grid
• A curated list of D&D-themed words
• Clear thematic categories such as classes, monsters, spells, and gear
• A consistent, clean layout designed for readability
• A medium difficulty level suitable for most players

These are not merely casual puzzles. They are crafted to reflect the spirit of adventure—where discovery is earned, details matter, and even the smallest clue can lead to success. Each grid offers a moment of focus, a pause in the journey, and an opportunity to engage with the world from a different perspective.

Whether you are preparing for your next session, sharing a quiet moment with fellow adventurers, or exploring on your own, Quest for Hidden Words invites you to sharpen your mind and embrace the challenge hidden within the grid.

What is Stormward Isle?

Stormward Isle is a remote, storm-bound island setting designed for use with the 5th Edition rules, offering a complete and self-contained environment for adventures, campaigns, or one-shots. It is created by Forge & Quest Creative Studio. It is a land shaped by harsh weather, clan politics, and long memory, where survival, reputation, and oath carry more weight than wealth or status. Whether placed in the Trackless Sea of a larger world or used as a standalone setting, the isle provides a grounded, atmospheric backdrop filled with rugged landscapes, isolated communities, and ancient mysteries waiting to be uncovered. 

At the table, Stormward Isle is immediately playable: it includes defined regions, settlements, cultures, and story hooks that support exploration, social interaction, and combat using standard 5e mechanics. You can run it as a full campaign setting, drop in ready-made adventures, or use it as a location for short arcs and one-shots. Characters arrive as outsiders and must navigate clan tensions, survive the environment, and uncover secrets tied to the land’s history—making it a flexible, story-driven setting where player choices have lasting consequences.
