Path of the Aram Thyr is a Role-Playing Game based on the D20 system. This means it’s largely compatible with most, if not all, other D20 retro-clones and published material, new and old. In Path of the Aram Thyr, you play as one of the titular Aram Thyr, a warrior in their path towards perfection in the art of war, exploring strange lands and dealing with unimaginably powerful foes and beasts. As an Aram Thyr, you have mastered everything they taught you in your homeland of Eorna Gynn. You thought yourself a master, and few could really stand to face you. But then, the mists that made travel outside of Eorna Gynn suddenly vanished, and a new land opened to those brave enough to traverse the Sea of Shards. Upon arriving on the shores of a place the locals call Aestran, you quickly discovered that you are far from the master you once thought you were. A new world of power and improvement opened before you, and you set on your path. Path of the Aram Thyr is best played with a Game Master (GM) and a single Player Character (PC). There is nothing stopping you from playing it with a bunch of friends, but the game thrives when it’s “me versus the world”, and this is best achieved when there’s a single PC. We have also provided simple GM-less rules and tools, for those wanting a purely solo, or co-op experience.
Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate is an epic Role-Playing Game of cosmic adventure and power cultivation inspired by the LitRPG genre. In it, players play as Ascendants, powerful characters that due to a combination of talent, luck and sheer determination have become the de-facto rulers of their nations. Unfortunately for them, this means little in the cosmic scale, and they quickly find out that they are at the bottom of the power ladder. Their planet has just been introduced to the Path of Ascendancy by the Ruthless Heavens, and as such the rest of the Nolurian Sector is now aware of its existence. It falls to them to become strong enough to protect their homeland, exploring the sector for new opportunities while sending them resources so they can eventually be strong themselves. Through hard work and fortuitous encounters they will have the chance to do so, while reaching new heights of power and cultivation.

Everspark is a fantasy adventure tabletop RPG that captures the vibe of the most popular fantasy RPGs out there and leaves everything else out of the table. Do you want to roll some d20s and pretend you are a wizard? You are in the right place. You get to tell epic tales, live the fantasy of being a unique hero, celebrate nat-20s and lament nat-1s, and spend some quality time with your friends (or by yourself) daydreaming about dragons. You only need a d20, a d6, and a bunch of sticky notes. Character creation takes anything from 5 seconds to 15 minutes, and then you’re ready to go. You can create your own world and quests, or play on your favorite settings with published modules, with zero conversion required. (from itch.io page)
FLAIL is a fast, scrappy OSR brawler where spells act up, weapons fall apart, and characters survive mostly through nerve, luck, or whatever they grabbed on the way in. Hit points are low, danger stays high, and plans rarely make it past the second roll. It’s classic fantasy chaos with a slightly unhinged grin. Created by Andre Novoa, FLAIL is developed and published by Games Omnivorous. Uses a tactile item-and-gear system that makes inventory management actually interesting, and a push-your-luck combat system that feels like a game of dice poker. Quick to learn, quicker to implode, ideal for hexcrawls, dungeons, and players who enjoy seeing what goes wrong first. “He tried to bless us, and the God showed up to ask why.” – player
