Metal Legends: Dismemberment Fest
Metal Legends: Dismemberment Fest is an American-style role-playing and engine-building game. Each player plays as a metal band in a small city, playing shows, recording music, getting hammered, and getting involved in wild interpersonal drama. This game is designed to appeal both to those with a macabre and crude sense of humor, and to those who appreciate nuanced strategy. To win a game of Metal Legends, your band must have the greatest number of fans by the end of the game.
At its heart, Metal Legends is a game about telling a story. While the game is going, players are encouraged to speculate about imaginary circumstances that are driving the lives of the musicians in the bands. As curses and windfalls are bandied about, questions will arise; why did Bruce Pound do a mountain of cocaine? How did Steve meet an untimely death? Why did Helga Hotfingers go to Rehab? It is up to you to decide.
Aldermen
Aldermen is a political area-control game where players act as the ruling council governing a city. Split into seven spheres of power, known as districts, players seek to pass favorable policies, expand their control over the districts, and build up their resources.
In order to pass favorable agenda outcomes, you must play a political game, balancing contradictory needs for both cooperative as well as competitive strategies. For example, when the King’s heir dies in a mysterious hunting accident, you decide how the council will respond; will they throw a lavish funeral, numb the kings grief with shipments of fine wines, or will they investigate the accident to see what deeper intrigues are afoot? By placing your votes, you decide.
Win by yourself or within a team as you struggle for power within a divided city.

Escape From Barathrum
Escape from Barathrum is a Cooperative Dungeon Crawling game. Players play as The Damned, souls which are attempting to escape the underworld. As they explore the labyrinths of damnation, they must cooperate to survive increasingly difficult traps, monsters, and puzzles. Finally, they must open the gate of death itself and face the guardian to escape back to their mortal coil.
Gods & Mortals: The Battle for Enor
There is Trouble in Enor…
The empire of Epari, a dynasty of Elven rulers, has ushered in millennia of peace and coexistence for the many Gods and mortal races of Enor. The mortal races of the continent commingle and work together, and the divine realms are in balance with all gods in their place, but Fate has other plans…
An ancient and forgotten God of Terror has been summoned by Fate herself from millenia of slumber to set chaos loose on the continent. Terror has summoned the great hydra Zutora from the outer realms to take the holy capital city of Divinium, slaying the Epari and plunging Enor into chaos, bringing war and fear back to the mortal realms.
In the wake of this fated coup, the mortal races scramble to slay the Hydra and retake Divinium. Many of the mortals in Enor have long envied the Elves’ power, and their opportunity to take control and shape the world in their image has finally come. All the mortal races vie for power, resources, and most importantly, the favor of the Gods.
Though not all is well either in the Divine realms. The Gods too, have been greatly disturbed by the return of Terror. The Supreme Being must wrestle with their many children to keep them in line and restore balance to the world; it seems the breaking of relative peace has stirred old rivalries among the Gods. Many are receiving prayer and favor from Mortals seeking power and divine boons in the struggle for the continent, reawakening festering celestial jealousies…
Now you, as either a God or a race of mortals, must try to seize Enor and restore peace and stability to the world before Terror becomes too powerful to stop.
