At First Sight

Overview

At First Sight is a role-playing game where most of the action takes place in The Breach, a city founded after a magical cataclysm known as The War. The city is dominated by five great mages whose towers rise around a massive rift of darkness created by the power of The Prophet, who is said to hold the fate of the city in his hands. The strange and esoteric city we live in is divided into five districts, each hosting one of the towers where the great mages reside, and which give their names to the schools of magic that shape its inhabitants.

Description

The city is in decline, magic is spiraling out of control, bringing plagues and magical monstrosities. The five great mages haven’t been seen for a long time, and people are starting to take the law into their own hands, fighting for control of the city’s various zones. For this reason, many mages are beginning to form small gangs in their hideouts, competing for power and respect while dealing with plagues and monstrosities.  The goal of most of these gangs is to find The Prophet, as whoever discovers him will decide the city's fate. All this while avoiding The Affliction of The Breach, a "disease" caused by prolonged exposure to the massive rift dividing the city. This affliction generates strange memories in the protagonists, driving them mad or robbing them of control over their magic, turning them into new monstrosities wandering the city's streets. At First Sight is a highly narrative game with intense, exaggerated action, where players manage one of these mage gangs struggling to survive in this cursed city known as The Breach.

Recap Raven

English
Subscription
Organization
Recap Raven is a Discord bot that records Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop roleplaying sessions and automatically transforms them into detailed, organised campaign notes. It is designed for groups that play over Discord and want to preserve everything that happened withoutasking a player or Game Master to spend the session taking notes. Description With the table’s consent, Recap Raven joins a Discord voice channel and records the game while everyone plays normally. When the session ends, it transcribes the conversation and creates a structured, player-safe recap covering important story events, character decisions, NPC interactions, locations, discoveries, combat encounters, items, clues, quest progress, memorable moments, and unresolved story threads. Recap Raven also creates private notes and preparation context for the GM. Player-facing information is kept separate from hidden knowledge, future plans, secrets, and other GM-only material. These private tools help the GM remember improvised NPCs and locations, review important player choices, track outstanding hooks, and prepare for the directions the party might take next. Every completed session contributes to a searchable campaign memory. Players and GMs can ask questions such as who possessed a particular item, what an NPC promised the party, where an event occurred, which quests remain unresolved, or what happened during a missed session. Recap Raven answers using evidence from the original session transcript, making it possible to verify where campaign information came from. The bot is suitable for long-running campaigns, short adventures, and groups whose session notes have become scattered across Discord messages, documents, notebooks, and memories. Its catch-up summaries also help absent players return to the game without requiring another member of the group to explain the entire previous session. Recap Raven works with Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Daggerheart, Call of Cthulhu, and other TTRPG systems played through Discord. It allows players to concentrate on roleplaying and storytelling while giving the whole table a campaign record that becomes more useful with every session.

CY_BORG

Beginner-friendly
Rules-light
Sci-fi
CY_BORG is a cyberpunk tabletop RPG created by Christian Sahlén and Johan Nohr of Stockholm Kartell, published by Free League Publishing in 2022 following a November 2021 Kickstarter. It's a direct spin-off of MÖRK BORG, Pelle Nilsson and Nohr's doom-metal-flavored apocalyptic fantasy game from 2020, swapping that game's black-metal dark fantasy for a noise, industrial, and underground-hip-hop-inspired vision of cyberpunk - and it's fully compatible with MÖRK BORG's own rules and content. Where MÖRK BORG is often pitched as a doom metal album in RPG form, CY_BORG plays the same trick with a different genre, trading gothic dread for corporate-hellscape rage. Description Playing CY_BORG means playing one of six ready-made classes - the Forsaken Gang-Goon, Shunned Nanomancer, Renegade Cyberslasher, Burned Hacker, Orphaned Gearhead, or Discharged Corp Killer - dropped into the sprawling megacity of Cy, a world of warring corporations, gangs, cults, and an alien nanotech infestation that keeps mutating everything it touches.  Character creation is quick and dirty, mostly determined by dice rolls across tables for abilities, gear, quirks, and even who a character owes money to, staying true to MÖRK BORG's rules-light, rulings-before-rules design philosophy. Sessions tend to run as short, dangerous jobs - the included introductory heist, Lucky Flight Takedown, has players scope out and hit a casino - rather than long-form dungeon delving, and death comes easily enough that a fresh, disposable punk is always just a few dice rolls away.
