How to Make A Literal Cat in Your Favorite RPG

Blue Rose is a Romantic Fantasy RPG published by Green Ronin. Coincidentally, it contains rules for playing as literal animals that have gained the power of telepathy. This was really convenient for us as we built our Warrior-Poet Cat!

Avalon and I regret to inform you that we've decided to end How to Make A Literal Cat In Your Favorite RPG after Summer 2026. This was a difficult decision, but also one that was a long time coming. As much as we're going to miss it, for the moment at least, stepping away is the right thing for us to do. I hope it's possible to come back to this some time in the future, but for right now, we need to move on.

Legend in the Mist is Son of Oak's latest TTRPG based on the gameplay system they created for City of Mist, this time for a high fantasy setting.

The Troubleshooters is an RPG by Helmgast made to mimic the style and aesthetic of Franco-Belgian comics of the 60's, like Adventures of Tintin!

Outgunned is a game by Two Little Mice, designed to help you play out your own cinematic action films at the table. As are most of the other games we've done recently. You know, because it's Action Fiction Autumn?
