Werewolf: The Apocalypse Retaliation // an RPG in a Box

Our good friend Simon is the lead narrative designer for this new Tabletop RPG in a box, designed to work without a Game master, it tells a grim story of a werewolf sept who loses their home to The Defiler. What follows is a challenging adventure where the players, a sept of Garou, decide how to take back what was taken as Garou.

This sports a unique approach to spirits, allies, and even lone wolf mechanics that ensure this game will have plenty of replay ability.

Hunters of The Occult a Monster Hunting TTRPG

Van Helsing inspired TTRPG where players make seasoned monster hunters with signature weapons that grow with the character throughout the campaign. The career progression influences the themes each player character brings to the game. One of the things we love hearing about is how games come together and how collaboration between writers and artist completely shapes the direction and themes of the game.

Episode Notes

Jason Cordova (@jasoncordova6 ) of Gauntlet Publishing (@GauntletRPG) fame (distributors of Trophy, and makers of The Between) are giving Brindelwood Bay (@BrindlewoodBay) a new life as a kickstarter project. Brindelwood Bay itself is a fantastic blend of Golden Girls and Cthulhu investigation using all the tropes of Murder She Wrote and other detective shows of its time. We've been playing it for years in it's earlier form on our twitch channel. Jason joins HSG to talk about the journey this game has taken to be ready for kickstarter and how he came to the novel approach to the core mechanic of Brindelwood Bay, the Mystery system.

This game has brought us so much fun it's worth a look for any group looking for something completely different.
