Back in 2015, I discovered S. John Ross’s classic 1993 game, Risus: The Anything RPG. It was free, modular, ultra-flexible, and simple to pick up, but as I played more TTRPG's like DND5e, I missed the iconic d20 and the drama of critical hits and misses. I created GATEWAY RPG to capture that same beginner-friendly spirit while bringing back the thrill of the twenty-sided die and being able to use it for any setting. Whether you are running quick one-shots, playing standalone adventures, diving into solo sessions, or modularly introducing advanced rules as your group learns, GATEWAY adapts seamlessly to your table. GATEWAY RPG and Aurican's Lair are a Not-For-Profit Tabletop Roleplaying Game publisher.

Salvage Union is a RPG set in a Post-Apoc world where MegaCorps rules pockets of civilization and nomads on giant 'Crawlers' comb the wastes for 'salvage'. Players are part of the 'Salvage Union', on one of these roaming Crawlers and deploy out in jury-rigged Mechs to collect salvage and investigate their ruined world. Description Playing Salvage Union means playing a crew of salvager mech pilots living aboard a massive, mobile home base called a Union Crawler, scavenging a corporate-ravaged wasteland for scrap to keep their community alive. Beyond raiders and rival scavengers, threats include monstrous Bio-Titans, alien Meld, and the Corpos who still control most of the world's remaining resources. Much of the game's appeal comes from its two-layered loop: narrative exploration and salvaging runs outside the mech, and tactical, resource-managed mech combat once things go loud, tied together by a deep crafting system that lets pilots build and refit their machines from scavenged parts between missions.

NovArchaic is a modern-day science-fantasy tabletop role-playing game focused on identity-first character creation, a structured-but-creative action system, and fun, rewarding crafting. Character creation focuses on a character with a backstory rooted in the setting and goals that, once completed, unlock new ways to improve. All actions use a unified passive and active skill system, tied into a flexible critical-effect system. But what about the setting? NovArchaic's core setting is a world that didn't know it wasn't whole. The core reality shard is our modern world, with its cell phones and memes. Then there are fractures and other shards containing magic and monsters. Slowly, as time passes, these parts of the universe try to come back together, but it's a complicated, bloody mess.

Transform every tabletop game into an unforgettable experience with Rolify, the ambient sound and music mixer built specifically for Dungeon Masters, Game Masters, and RPG players who want their sessions to feel alive. Whether you're running a classic Dungeons & Dragons campaign, a Pathfinder adventure, a horror one-shot, or any tabletop RPG, Rolify gives you full control over the atmosphere. Layer multiple looping sounds simultaneously, from crackling fireplaces to distant thunder, murmuring tavern crowds to eerie dungeon echoes, and watch your players get pulled straight into the world you've built. WHY DUNGEON MASTERS LOVE ROLIFY Great storytelling isn't just about words, it's about immersion. A well-placed sound effect can turn a simple description into a heart-pounding moment. With Rolify's layered soundboard, you can mix ambient background noise, sound effects, and your own music tracks in real time, without ever breaking the flow of your session. Combine sounds your way: a crackling hearth, murmuring voices, a bard strumming in the corner, and your players will feel like they've truly stepped into a fantasy tavern. Add rain and thunder for a stormy night ambush, or a low ominous drone for a boss encounter. The only limit is your imagination. PERFECT FOR EVERY TABLETOP RPG Rolify works great for Dungeons and Dragons (D&D 5e), Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire the Masquerade, Warhammer, and any homebrew or fantasy tabletop RPG. It's designed for Game Masters and Dungeon Masters who want professional-quality ambient sound without complicated software or a subscription fee. MORE THAN A DND SOUNDBOARD Beyond the gaming table, Rolify doubles as an ambient sound mixer for relaxation, focus, and sleep. Combine rain, fireplace crackle, wind, and white noise to build a calming soundscape for studying, meditating, or drifting off at night. If you love ambient noise apps, nature sound mixers, or sleep sound machines, Rolify's flexible layering gives you that same power, tailored to fantasy and RPG settings too. HOW IT WORKS Browse the built-in sound library or upload your own tracks Tap to start playing any sound in a continuous loop Layer as many sounds as you want, adjusting the volume for each one Save your favorite combinations as playlists Recall any atmosphere instantly during your next session

AireCon is a friendly and inclusive analog gaming festival in Harrogate Convention Centre. Whether you've come alone or with a massive group you'll find plenty of fun to be had and new friendly faces to meet. On top of that, we've partnered with Travelling Man to bring you a huge library of over 500 games that you can borrow from for free throughout the event. Have a nosy at the FAQ section to answer all your burning questions and if you've got a question we haven't yet answered, drop us a line at hello@airecon.uk! History AireCon started when Mrs C was away on a friend’s hen weekend. Mark decided that he’d have a few friends around to play some games and partake in some other gaming activities. With three tables set up, a schedule of events drawn up and even a sponsor, AireCon (now known as AireCon 0) was born in Mark’s flat. The name came about from looking at how other conventions got their name. Seeing that GenCon was named after Lake Geneva, Mark looked around for bodies of water nearby, and was immediately drawn to the River Aire, hence AireCon, and that squiggle that runs through the logo? That’s the river! Around this time, having returned from a brilliant time playing games at UK Games Expo, Mark looked around for other gaming events. Finding none he spoke to Ben about starting AireCon as a proper, public event and Ben had been thinking along similar lines. The first public AireCon (AireCon 1) was held at the place where Ben and Mark work in Bradford in April 2016, quickly followed by AireCon 2 in October 2016 but the constraints of the venue were already starting to show. Nabil and Rick were brought on board at this point to take the event to the next level. The growth necessitated a move to larger premises and, after an extensive search across Yorkshire, we settled on the Harrogate Convention Centre for AireCon 3 in March 2017. We also changed to running AireCon annually to allow more time to make sure it was an excellent event. AireCon 4, in March 2018, AireCon 5, March 2019 and AireCon 6, March 2020, have continued to see the event grow with more and more space being taken at the convention centre, mostly to allow for huge amounts of open gaming space, probably the largest in Europe! Due to the pandemic in 2021, AireCan’t took place instead of AireCon, where people were encouraged to Play at Home. The AireCon team have always enjoyed bringing people together and seeing the joy that tabletop gaming can bring, and this remains the same today as it did back in Mark’s flat. The emphasis at AireCon is on fun and providing opportunities for people to be able to game and it will always remain that way.
