Ares Games announces the distribution of a new wave of ”Made in Italy” roleplaying games and volumes, published in English language by MS Edizioni: Green Oaks, Five Days, and Last Resort, created by Fumble GDR and produced by Italian publisher MS Edizioni, and Flail Kült, Cthulhu Bay, and Forsaken Scriptures, produced by indie studio Nigredo Press.
The three new MS Edizioni releases are light, self-contained, and highly innovative RPGs with original settings, already proven best-sellers on the Italian market. Green Oaks is a fast-paced, narrative-driven role-playing game where players take on the roles of quirky Elders in a haunted, rumor-filled retirement home. Five Days offers a unique and emotionally charged role-playing experience, for players who love character-driven narratives with raw emotional depth.
Last but not least Last Resort is a cooperative role-playing game set on a tropical island during a zombie apocalypse: players are survivors who must work together to stay alive as long as possible on Kahakai Resort Island, a once-idyllic location now crawling with danger. The three Nigredo Press releases are "indie" supplements with a notable visual impact, targeted to demanding enthusiasts who seek new ideas both from a gameplay and artistic perspective, and not tied to a specific game system.
Cthulhu Bay (pic) is an investigative RPG blending Lovecraftian horror with innovative mechanics and pulp-style storytelling, allowing players to craft their own unique endings by piecing together Clues. Flail Kült is a haunting and visceral artbook by Arcane Throne, featuring stark black and white illustrations that explore the brutal mythology of spiked weapons, death, and the endless cycle of time.
Forsaken Scriptures is a unique collection of minimalist, visually striking word-maps for Mörk Borg and other fantasy RPGs, condensing the text and visual of whole dungeons into single images for no-prep adventures.
