A MÁQUINA DO RPG

So, you prefer to  read in English ? ;) Cats! The Conspurracy é um RPG francófono irreverente e cheio de estilo, recentemente traduzido para inglês pela Black Book Éditions . Neste universo, os gatos domésticos não são apenas animais de estimação: são agentes secretos de uma conspiração global felina, lutando contra canídeos, aspiradores, humanos desatentos e forças que ameaçam o equilíbrio do mundo. O tom do jogo oscila entre o cómico, o absurdo e o ternurento, com espaço para aventuras emocionantes e até dramáticas, se os jogadores assim o desejarem. Capa de "Cats! The Conspurracy". Estilo vibrante e personalidade felina desde o primeiro olhar. Conceito e Sistema O conceito base é refrescante e apelativo, ideal para jogadores novatos ou para sessões descomprometidas entre veteranos. Jogar como um gato (e não apenas um animal antropomorfizado, mas mesmo um gato, com sentidos, hábitos e percepções felinas) obriga os jogadores a sair da sua perspectiva humana e mergulhar n...

Durandal is a new RPG from Se7en Sagas , immersing players into a mythical reimagining of Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire, where history intertwines with legend.

Dawnfall: Aitechnocene  is a post-apocalyptic TTRPG from Se7en Sagas where players become survivors in a world overrun by artificial intelligence. This quickstart guide introduces the game's unique diceless mechanics, emphasizing narrative, player choices, and resource management including skills, advantages, and characters' passions. There's even this Effort counters you can download for free and give the game a go. The scenario The Water Dilemma  involves players in moral and strategic dilemmas about scarce resource distribution, highlighting the importance of decisions in a challenging survival setting. However, the irreverent author Rui Anselmo made a risky and no less controversial move by using AI to produce not only the art but also the writing of the game .  A Máquina do RPG does not endorse the use of AI to produce any content that can be sold or financed. However, it is not Máquina's place to judge, but rather to bring discussion and encourage lateral thin...

Isto seria mais giro em  Português , né? ;) A Máquina do RPG loves premieres! This time, it's  Orlando Moreira 's debut in the realm of TTRPG scenario publication, specifically with  Bad Tidings  for  Call of Cthulhu  ( CoC ), the ultimate cosmic horror game! The setting takes place in the outskirts of Aveiro in 1937 and is digitally published under  The Miskatonic Repository  license. Comme d'habitude  with A Máquina do RPG , let's start with the cover! The effective cover of Bad Tidings  has all the right vibes worthy of a Call of Cthulhu cover! Both the cover and the layout of Bad Tidings  were handled by veteran  Alex Guillotte . The cover is dark, mysterious, and effectively captures the theme of the scenario, albeit not very original. Not to diminish its excellent execution, but it's the typical cover that could appear in practically any other CoC scenario. As for the layout, it is perfectly consistent with the graphic...

So, you prefer to  read in English ? ;) A Máquina do RPG  adora estreias! Desta vez é a de  Orlando Moreira  nas suas lides de publicação de cenários de TTRPG, nomeadamente  Bad Tidings  para Call of Cthulhu   ( CoC ), o derradeiro jogo de horror cósmico! O cenário passa-se nos arredores de Aveiro em 1937 e encontra-se digitalmente publicado sob a licença da The Miskatonic Repository . Comme d'habitude  n' A Máquina do RPG  comecemos então pela capa!   A eficaz capa de Bad Tidings tem todas as vibes certas dignas duma capa de Call of Cthulhu !   Tanto a capa quanto o layout de Bad Tidings ficaram a cargo do veterano Alex Guillotte . A capa é obscura, misteriosa e eficaz no tema do cenário em si, ainda que pouco original. Não desfazendo da sua execução exímia, mas é a típica capa que poderia aparecer em praticamente qualquer outro cenário de CoC . Já o layout é perfeitamente coerente com toda a linha gráfica que a 7ª edição de CoC...

Isto seria mais giro em Português , né? ;) This time A Máquina do RPG brings you a review of Demon Ninja , the TTRPG of survival and military horror set in a " fictional medieval era Japan cursed by an epidemic of parasitic tentacles, war, demons, and deadly shinobi ". It's always difficult for me to review an RPG with a theme inspired by feudal Japan. My samurai RPG references are   Legend of the Five Rings   and  Blood & Honor  (both from the brilliant John Wick); or in the case of ninjas (albeit in a modern setting),  Shinobigami   (in my Top 2 best TTRPGs of all time). So, a very high bar. (A Máquina do RPG itself has on hiatus, somewhere in a forgotten drawer, a draft of its  Solorized Ninjæ , that aims to be the ultimate stealth TTRPG!) Therefore, if on the one hand I am passionate about everything involving ninjas and samurai, on the other hand it gives me a keen critical sense in the face of aesthetics and values ​​that are dear to me. Con...
