The Collectors: The Burning House
by Thomas MacKay
Category: Roleplaying adventure
Genre: Supernatural mystery and menace
System: Fudge
The players portray demons sent to the mortal realm to fetch a soul that is
owed to Him. That is, owed to the Master. The Chair. The Executive. The Home
Office.
They have been given equipment and identities, and a task which seems at
first glance very easy: simply locate the client, explain their purpose, and
drag him -- kicking and screaming if necessary -- back to Processing.
Of course, things are never that easy. . . .
Available in both electronic
and print editions.
Den of Thieves
and
Rival Den of
Thieves
by Scott David Gray
Category: Card games
Den of Thieves is a
strategic card game for two to five players. The criminal element of the
city is in a race to steal the most -- from the bank or each other. Bluff
and backstab your way to victory, using such cards as the Bunko Artist, the
Highwayman, and the Woman of Easy Virtue.
Or, for those seeking to commit more upscale sorts of crime, Rival Den of Thieves places you
in control of such crooks as the Counterfeiter, the Extortionst, and the
Lawyer.
Each may be played as a stand-alone game, or the two decks may be combined
for games of up to ten players.
Pariah
by Mike Jones
Category: Roleplaying adventure
Genre: Psi-powers
System: Fudge
In Pariah, players take on the roles of teenagers who are just
discovering and coming to terms with the vast powers within themselves.
Taken into custody by an enigmatic government agency, they barely get used
to their rather luxurious confinement and rigorous testing when someone
discovers the Truth about their purpose. And now they must escape--by any
means necessary.
Priceless
by Sandy Antunes
Category: Live action roleplaying
Genre: Horror
It was a stormy night, and you and your siblings were just recovering from
that nasty fever that all the children in town had. Mother had to step out
to do some errands, despite the storm. And when she came back, she seemed .
. . different (even though Father says that's nonsense!).
Welcome to two unusual hours in the lives of the Harrington children. You
and your siblings must puzzle out what has happened before bedtime, or bad
things are sure to happen. Being children, the focus is on roleplaying,
followed by problem solving. Readers of Edward Eager or the Narnia books
will feel instantly at home . . . as will the Lovecraftian fans.
Dead Sea Murder
by Amanda Dickerson
Category: Roleplaying adventure
Genre: Pulp mystery
System: Fudge Terra Incognita
In 1947 the world was stunned by the discovery of ancient scrolls hidden in
caves not far from where the city of Qumran once thrived. These documents,
some written as early as 250 B.C., were hailed as one of the most important
archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century. The Dead Sea Scrolls,
as they were soon to be called, reportedly hadn't been seen by human eyes
for two thousand years.
The members of the National Archaeological, Geographic, and Submarine
Society know better.
