Add PDF $19.20 Check out all of these great RPGs!Sometimes you gotta set your favorite game aside, even for a moment, to recharge your creative batteries (particularly if you're a GM). Playing with another system always gives me perspective to tackle my campaign with new insights, and we're bringing a little attention to some of the games that we like to play around the office (that is when we aren't playing Pathfinder)! If you're looking to scratch that fantasy roleplaying game itch, you should check out the fifth edition of Ars Magica! Available in both print and PDF versions, this system really changed the way many people looked at magic in roleplaying games. With an emphasis on storytelling, and long-term magical studies, your mage gets to discover the wonders and dangers of a mythical medieval Europe! On a similar (yet different) note, the latest book in the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay line from Fantasy Flight Games always causes heads to turn when a new copy shows up! A burly starter set with not one, but four rulebooks, special dice, and ability cards to keep play moving, the Core Set will place characters in the hands of fate in the Old World! It's no secret that we love ourselves some Lovecraft 'round here, and the Call of Cthulhu: 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition is a great way to get into this modern-age, madness-inducing, SAN-sapping, investigative roleplaying game! Ordinary people facing extraordinary creatures can sometimes become heroes—or more often than not, part of a Great Old One's mid-round snack. Jump into this frightening world and give your sanity a workout! Dialing things into the near-future, Catalyst Games has released a revamped edition of Shadowrun in time for its 20th anniversary, and it is full of win! Such an amazing setting now has a rules set that is equally impressive and innovative. And they continue to release new adventures and supplements (including info on those dastardly corps in the Corporate Guide) for everything your crew might run across—be sure to keep the Sixth World Almanac handy for game ideas! Looking for a bit more sci-fi, then Eclipse Phase might just be your game. Newly-released, this RPG is set in the future, in an era where humanity has spread beyond our home planet, and what it means to be human is in question. In Eclipse Phase, each player controls one mind but many bodies—one body for deep sea exploration, one for infiltration and assassination, and another for social engineering. The first five books for Eclipse Phase are available here, along with information on numerous movers and shakers of the dystopian future, habitats on Mars, and even info on the Pandora Gates! And for those die-hards that just love them some Warhammer 40,000, those crazy guys at Fantasy Flight Games have four fantastic systems that will scratch your itch: Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, and Black Crusade! Many things threaten the human-dominated Imperium, and each of these systems provides unique ways to approach those threats—all equally dangerous. Whether as a front line grunt, a self-centered heretic, an unscrupulous inquisitor, or caught-in-the-wrong-place scoundrel, the Warhammer 40k universe is in need of a few good people... preferably with a great aim and hale body. We have a ton of intriguing roleplaying games here at Paizo—check them all out here, and pick up something new!
