In Aapep you play either demon Aapep, trying to swallow the sun, or the god Ra, fighting to escape the underworld.

0230 hours, 29 NOVEMBER 1950, TOKTONG PASS, KOREA: At 0200 hours a voice called out of the pitch darkness and identified itself as an 'American lieutenant'. The voice called out the positions of the Fox company perimeter, and further added, eerily “…the Chinese will give you warm clothes, and good treatment, if you surrender now.” Many Marines fired their 'answers' out of the barrels of their guns, off into the darkness. Within thirty minutes Chinese bugles and horns started blowing, flares went up into the night skt and Marine machine-guns laid down fire lanes in the expected avenues of attack...

This is KOREA 1950: TOKTONG PASS, the brand new module from Critical Hit for its ASLComp line of VARIANT products by Larry Winslow. The game is meticulously crafted, featuring a detailed map of the terrain fought over by Chinese Communist forces and the US Marines amidst cold, bleak hills. The action is fierce, unrelenting, and will get your blood racing.

It is 37 AD and Caligula is the extravagant Emperor of Rome! It is a time of excesses. It is a time of intrigue. And the latest gala in Caligula’s short reign is starting tonight—Bacchus’ Banquet!

As a player, you are one of the nine “honored” guests—each with his or her own secret objective. You might be a glutton who is only there for the food and wine. You might be an avaricious opportunist longing for the presents that are often bestowed. You might be a conspirator in one of the many plots to kidnap or assassinate the Emperor. You might even be Caligula himself, exploiting the all too human foibles of his groveling subjects.

Whatever your true goals, you fully participate in the orgy of rich cuisine, fine wine, and elaborate entertainments. Caligula is watching! But be careful, accompanying every course is the potential of a drunken stupor, a subtle poison, or an assassin’s dagger—any one of which can destroy you and your aspirations.

So, put on your best toga, cleanse yourself, and hire a food taster. You have an engraved invitation to Bacchus’s Banquet, and you are in for the night of your life!

Creeping forth from the shadowed tombs and haunted forests of the Hyborian Age come creatures previously unseen by man, exotic animals from the far corners of the world and coiling horrors to test even the mettle of Conan himself.

The bones of lesser men crunch underfoot; it is time to earn your place in legend.

The third of five books dedicated to the supernatural locales of the Exalted setting, this supplement focuses on the Celestial City of Yu-Shan, home of the gods. Built by the Primordials as a refuge in which they might enjoy the Games of Divinity, while their subordinates tended to Creation, Yu-Shan was taken by the gods as the spoils of the Primordial War. Home to a massive bureaucracy rife with corruption, the continent-sized city has been the sole province of the Sidereal Exalts since the Usurpation. Will the Solar Exalted’s return upset the status quo of the Celestial City, or will the Chosen of the Maidens succeed in maintaining their monopoly on the resources of Heaven?

SCHOOL IS IN SESSION!

Welcome to PS238, the world’s first school for metaprodigies — children with superpowers! They have to learn how to be superheroes along with their math, history, and social studies, and PS238 is where they do that... and occasionally get into an adventure or two.

The PS238 Roleplaying Game brings you the fun and touching world of PS238 from Aaron Williams’s acclaimed comic book. Using the award-winning HERO System rules, it lets you create and play your own metaprodigy character. It’s fun for children of all ages!

Perclainate Bron, an outcast Ulf, found himself without home or family. With no little skill, some clever treachery and brutal force he’s gathered a small band of trolls. With them he set out building a home for himself and filling it with a new ‘family’, one that won’t be so objectionable to his unsavory habits. But doing so has required he gather strange allies in stranger places and what stranger place for this towering Ulf than the small human town of Barleytown.

Barleytown, straddling the forest road, has long since been abandoned by its inhabitants, most picked up and moved quite suddenly some two years gone, never to be heard from again. Only the proprietor of the Inn and Tavern remains and it is his habit to offer food and drink for free to all travelers who are kind enough to stay under his roof. But as often as not too much of anything brings too much of a bad thing and your avatars find themselves embroiled in all manner of roadside mayhem that sets them between a Rock and a hard place. The avatars must brace themselves for a hard struggle before escaping the twisted iron manacles of the Rock.

The Rock is a short scenario for use with the Lejendary Adventure™ Roleplaying Game system. It is designed for three or more avatars of low to moderate experience, and any party should contain at least one avatar with extraordinary abilities. It is intended to play in 2-4 hours, and is generic enough in nature to provide a diversionary adventure that may be easily incorporated into an existing campaign.

“Gestalt” is Scott Bennie's unique world of superhuman archetypes. Superhero comic books contain worlds of Archetypes, individuals who represent important symbols. They are populated by characters who represent concepts such as Heroism, Strength, Speed, Cleverness, The Elements, Kindness, Cruelty, and Ambition. All fiction deals in archetypes or symbols, but comic books apply them more consciously than most fictional forms.

The Gestalt campaign takes the idea of "character as Archetype" one step further. In this campaign world, Gestalt-Earth, the characters are the symbols. A physically powerful superhero might not just be a strong guy - he could be an embodiment of Strength. A Gestalt martial arts master isn't just a superb fighter - he's also a human representation of his chosen art. The master lives its philosophy at all times, getting into situations where he demonstrates his art and its virtues, championing those who follow the art, and using the art to advance his or her personal fortunes.

While characters in the Gestalt-Earth setting look and act like superheroes, in many ways they fulfill the role of mythological gods, becoming the champion of concepts and portfolios.
