You've started growing gills and it's time to get good at your improvisational firefighting because you're about to form a symbiotic attachment with the freaks of this new world.

i know that trying to definitively categorize media is a fool's errand, and also that "urban fantasy" is the accepted term for "it's the modern world except there's vampires or elves or some shit", but personally, I hardly even consider Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy to be fantasy. I consider it science-fiction, and that's how I approach it when writing the more fantastical elements. I don't exactly have anywhere I'm going with this but I think that some people that have really delved into the monster lore might get what I'm talking about. It's extrapolatory. It's about "what if X happened - well then Y might happen as a result, and what are the implications of Y."

That's also why some of the rules text very vaguely alludes to some scientific explanations for vampires without saying anything like "uh, for vampires to be scientific and realistic it has to be a virus spread by bite that transforms people into immortal blood-drinking mutants who die if they see a right angle, something viruses are scientifically and realistically known to be able to do, and medieval peasants were just too stupid to understand that so they thought that crosses repelled vampires because of God."

Vampires in Eureka are still the vampires from Eureopean folklore, but the scientific implications of them existing like that are extrapolated on and explored. That's where the cosmic horror comes in.

a study in: the swiftness of change, small actions having greater consequences than expected, chaos at its finest, quiet calculations, always being two steps ahead, and the slow, sinking feeling that something is inevitable.

The rumour had always persisted, fuelled by whispers of past atrocities, that only a primarch could kill another primarch. Perhaps it was even true.

What Waits Beyond

Have you ever tried to participate in a ttrpg adventure game jam (or two) and then accidentally make a game instead? 'Cause I sure have... :D

WHAT WAITS BEYOND is an immersive solo journaling game about death, loss, and regret. In Beyond, you find yourself in a starship at the edge of a black hole, all hope lost and the end of the road right in front of you. It's unlikely your character and their crew will have a happy ending, only that they'll try to make the most of it in spite of their fear and hopelessness.

What will you reflect on in your last moments, and how will your crew mates respond to their approaching end?

In Beyond, you'll play Wish Solitaire. Each turn will guide you with journaling prompts and, occasionally, events that interrupt your contemplation-- some making things a little easier, others potentially bringing an abrupt end to your game.

Abducted is a solo or co-op story-telling tabletop role-playing game that places players in the shoes of a human character who has been abruptly abducted by an alien race.

Players create both their human character and their alien character, determining their characteristics and motivations, and then utilize a deck of playing cards, with corresponding in-game tables, as prompts to progress the story forward.

As the game unfolds, players journal their experiences in first-person, chronicling their struggles to understand and communicate with their alien captors, their attempts to escape, and the emotional toll of being forcibly removed from their home planet.

With each draw of the deck, players are presented with new challenges and opportunities, and must use their wit, cunning, empathy, or aggression to navigate the alien environment they find themselves in. Abducted is a game that tests players' ability to think creatively, empathize deeply, and write compelling narratives as they craft their own unique stories of survival in a world that is completely foreign to them.

(Co-op rules for 1 human and 1 alien player are included!)

The game is available now for FREE on itch.io:

A ghostly pixel ghost, part of the art assets for FORIVA: The Angel Game whipped up by @ashweather. Is this an enemy? A friend? A clue? You'll have to back our kickstarter at the $32 tier or higher to get the adventure module "FORIVA: The Angle Game" and find out!

Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is a neo-noir investigation-focused RPG with (as you can probably guess from the title) a supernatural twist. Eureka fills several voids we have noticed in the TTRPG space. Eureka supports investigation to a degree we haven’t seen before, ensuring that searching for clues is a granular and player-driven process, but also ensuring that the whole story doesn’t grind to a halt after one single failed investigation check.

Though most PCs will be mundane humans—or perhaps because most PCs will be mundane humans—Eureka also supports playing monstrous PCs, such as a vampire, in a way we have never seen before. This isn’t just a watered-down stat bonus, it’s like playing an almost entirely different game, with all the monster’s strengths and weaknesses to account for while solving the mystery, plus the added incentive to keep it a secret from the other PCs as well as their players.

If you like or are interested in Call of Cthulhu, Monster of the Week, Dresden Files, X-Files, Kolchak: The Night Stalker, Apocalypse Keys, or Gumshoe, you’ll probably find something in Eureka to really enjoy.

Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is kickstarting from right now until May 10th! Back it while you still can!

If you want to try before you buy, you can download a free demo of the prerelease version from our website or our itch.io page!

If you’re interested in a more updated and improved version of Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy than the free demo you got from our website, subscribe to our Patreon where we frequently roll our new updates for the prerelease version!

You can also support us on Ko-fi, or by checking out our merchandise!

Join our TTRPG Book Club At the time of writng this, Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is the current game being played in the book club, and anyone who wants to participate in discussion, but can’t afford to make a contribution, will be given the most updated prerelease version for free! Plus it’s just a great place to discuss and play new TTRPGs you might not be able to otherwise!

We hope to see you there, and that you will help our dreams come true and launch our careers as indie TTRPG developers with a bang by getting us to our base goal and blowing those stretch goals out of the water, and fight back against WotC's monopoly on the entire hobby. Wish us luck.
