Lobsterpot
Created by Samuel Allan and Ben Doane
“The witches are dead and we have killed them.
Now, by coincidence or consequence, we suffer.”
Long ago, there was a great persecution of Witches, followed by a Cataclysm which warped the world and its peoples. Or maybe the cataclysm happened first. What legends and documents survive are contradictory at best, and no two villages have the same account of the time that led to now. It is only known that something is to be feared, and it is probably lurking right around the corner...
The Weald
Created by Max McComsey
“The Weald is a brutal, miserable beauty. Life flourishes, death rampages. The weak falter fast, and the strong follow soon after. Act fast and true, my friend. Keep your blade sharp and your wits sharper, and you may stand a chance against these horrors.”
Forbidden Psalm: The Last War
Created by Will Rahman
“Beasts, humans and all in between now hunt these deserted battlefields. Soldiers who have not realised the war has ended, demons of myth and nightmares, and the few
remaining citizens pick at what is left behind. As if in response to the suffering man unleashed upon man, a great Fog has taken the land. What dwells within the swirling mists chills even the most hardened of veterans.
What comes after The Last War? Only decay, death and destitution.”

Questing Knight
Created by Andrew Nierenhausen
Questing Knight is a solo or co-op campaign for the game Brutal Quest by Mammoth Miniatures.
Help your band of hapless knights as they strive to bring a reliquary across a land filled with dangers.
Planet 28
Created by Nic Evans
“Laserbeams flash through the choking grey ash of a burning city, smoke belching war machines crush rubble and warriors beneath iron tracks, and screaming fanatics clash blades against the armoured bodies of bio-enhanced horrors. From the most luxurious orbital cities where the rich and powerful backstab and poison their way up the social ladder, to the lowest depths of decrepit industrial worlds where every breath of chem-filtered air is bought with blood, the galaxy is a place of violence, intrigue and death. Welcome to the world of Planet 28.“
TSPN
Created by Tanner Simpson
“Teaspoon is a solo play tabletop pet simulator created to improve your hobby skills and creative muscles. This system asks you to create or generate a creature, then build a space for them to inhabit. To play this game you’ll need dice, a writing tool, and crafting supplies of your choice. The biggest hurdle for you to overcome is understandably my handwriting!”
Kuggköping
Created by Fredrik Permo
“The endless city as your battleground, the great corrosion keeps you bound.
Towering structures scrape the sky, and grinding gears catch your eye.
Foggy streets and slick cobblestone, danger lurks where the dark is sown.
Gizmos fuel the warzone fun, this adventure has only just begun.”
Kuggköping is a casual solo skirmish game for 1-2 players set in the mystical city of Kuggköping, which appeared overnight. You assume the role of an explorer from one of the powerful cartographer houses competing for control of the city. After a centurys of corruption and influence, the landscape and inhabitants are drastically altered from what they once were. A bizarre blend of machines and biology has transformed everything living and warped reality into a twisted parody of its former self.
TONKS
Created by Apocrypha_Now
“TONKS is a fast and fun game of miniature mechanised mayhem, where each player controls an individual tank battling it out in a free for all. The game features fun upgrades and lots of opportunities for customisations, kit-bashing and wild colour schemes. For very brave hobbyists, there is the ‘TONKS OF LEGACY’ campaign, where tank commanders can risk it all seeking fortune and glory.”
