In Horus Heresy, an epic board game for two players set in the dark future of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, can Warmaster Horus succeed in his profane quest to crush the Imperium, drowning the galaxy in a flood of Chaos and destruction, or will the steadfast Holy Emperor of Mankind break the bloody siege, turning the tide of assault against the cruel machinations of the Dark Powers of the Warp?

Dresden Files RPG Coming - Get a PDF Copy Now!

The Dresden Files RPG is on its way, but you can get a preview copy of the (almost) complete game on PDF now by preordering at Rogues Gallery!

Thanks to a promotion by Evil Hat, the publishers of Dresden, anyone who preorders and prepays for one or both of the Dresden Files books now can get a PDF copy of the books and start playing and reading immediately! They are mostly complete, missing only the original Jim Butcher short story and whatever final tweaks will be made before they go to print.

You can buy one or both books and get the PDF copies for whichever books you pre-buy immediately. The two books are Volume One: Your Story (Rules & Characters) and Volume Two: Our World (Creatures, Factions, A Guide to Occult Chicago), and both will be full-color hardcover books.

We are taking preorders now, and will be taking them up until the release of the books, and anyone who pre-buys will get a copy of the PDFs for the books to tide them over until the full release.

Mystery Express
Seeking a well-deserved break from your latest misadventures, you decide to splurge, treating yourself to the extravagant luxury of the most talked about train of our time - the legendary Orient Express. Most unexpectedly, and rather unfortunately, the holiday turns out to be short-lived. The train has barely left Paris when word spreads that someone has just been murdered, and in the most hideous manner! Now locked onboard the aptly renamed Mystery Express, anxious passengers spin a web of intrigue and deception through the spread of rumor, gossip, and innuendo. Will you uncover the culprit before reaching the end of your journey? Hurry, there's no time to waste in this whodunit on rails!

Star Wars CMG Masters o/t Force Bstr
There is a disturbance in the Force! The greatest Star Wars heroes and villains of all eras explode into battle across the galaxy in Masters of the Force! Collect Darth Vader, Yoda, Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker, General Han Solo, and Lando Calrissian, including all eight creatures from the dejarik hologame as seen in Star Wars: Episode IV!

A Pathfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for 1st-level characters, Stolen Land kicks off the highly anticipated Kingmaker Adventure Path.
