Not mentioned in last week’s Armchair Dragoons Fall Assembly loot was a new dice set.
Can you see the ship inside each die? Maybe not…but they certainly are there. Seems very well suited for use in a Pirate Borg (Free League Publishing, 2022) gaming session.
Also arriving with a pirate-ish theme…
SU1: Phantoms of Unov for Scoundrels of Brixton: A Sci-Fi Setting of Crime and Conflict (RPG Ramblings Publications via Kickstarter). I like the Scoundrels of Brixton setting; I also like physical books better than digital.
Free League Publishing was kind enough to pass on a copy of the core rulebook for The Electric State Roleplaying Game (2024). This is a digital PDF copy but, looking at the pages, the art alone makes this yet another RPG book that is best enjoyed full size and in a physical format.
As the publisher’s blurb for The Electric State Roleplaying Game tells us:
A road trip on the verge of reality.
When did it all start? I can’t really remember. It started like any recreational activity, I guess. Like TV. Sometimes they watched TV and sometimes they would sit there wearing their neurocasters. I didn’t care. It was after the big update of 1996 that things got weird. Mode Six.
The Electric State Roleplaying Game is based on the art book The Electric State by acclaimed visual artist and author Simon Stålenhag. This tabletop RPG uses Free League’s Year Zero Engine, known from award-winning games such as Mutant: Year Zero, Tales From the Loop RPG, ALIEN RPG, and the Blade Runner RPG.
This is a game about a group of travelers heading out on a journey through a strange America in an alternate 1997. The ruins of gigantic battle drones litter the countryside, heaped together with the discarded trash of a high tech consumerist society in decline.
The game is not about the goal but the journey – what the characters experience along the way and how it changes them. This is a game of exploration, of finding out who you are, who your friends are, and what you are willing to do when the world collapses around you.

“The game is not about the goal but the journey….” Not my usual RPG play style but I maybe there is something new to discover here, eh?
