Alien RPG

Sci-fi
Alien: The Roleplaying Game is the officially licensed tabletop RPG of the Alien film franchise, designed by Free League CEO Tomas Härenstam with franchise lore writer Andrew E.C. Gaska, and published by Free League Publishing in December 2019. It runs on an adapted version of Free League's Year Zero Engine - the same family powering Mutant: Year Zero and Tales from the Loop - reworked specifically around the dread and claustrophobia of the films rather than open exploration. The game won the Gold ENNIE for Best Game in 2020 and has remained one of Free League's flagship lines since.

Vaesen - Nordic Horror Roleplaying

Horror
Rules-medium
Vaesen - Nordic Horror Roleplaying is written by Nils Hintze, built on the folklore research and artwork of Swedish illustrator and author Johan Egerkrans, and published by Free League Publishing in 2020. It runs on an adapted version of Free League's house Year Zero Engine, the same lineage powering Tales from the Loop, Forbidden Lands, and the official ALIEN RPG, but reworked here around investigation and dread rather than survival or combat.  The game earned three ENNIE Awards in 2021 (Best Art and Cover, Best Interior Art, Best Monster/Adversary), and its Mythic Britain & Ireland expansion went on to win Gold for Best Interior Art, Best Setting, and Product of the Year in 2023.

PIRATE BORG

English
Rules-light
Pirate Borg is a rules-light, art-heavy tabletop roleplaying game of swashbuckling horror in a dark, supernatural Caribbean, written and illustrated by Luke Stratton under the Limithron label and published by Free League Publishing through its Free League Workshop sublabel. It is based on MÖRK BORG, and it is described as complete and compatible with that game.  The system is based on MÖRK BORG, and it is a sibling to CY_BORG, a Free League Workshop title. Description Players take on pirates, whether cursed sailors, marked captains or fugitives, in a setting called the Dark Caribbean where history, fantasy, horror and rum meet. The Game Master (GM) runs scenes of fighting undead crews, hunting for treasure and sailing between islands, and the book includes a sandbox adventure to start with. The game asks a table for a certain tone. It is grim, loud and rough, and characters are fragile, so a group that wants a balanced fight each session will find it unforgiving. It suits groups that enjoy fast play, heavy atmosphere and a GM comfortable with improvising from tables.
