We’ve had our heads down for the last month trying to wrangle the growing piles of Dracula Dossier text into more printable book forms, and that’s been eating into our time to do other things, like making some changes to the shop and website. But they’ll be coming soon, probably in the next few months. […]
Stunning Weaponry in GUMSHOE Most GUMSHOE games discourage the use of TASERs and other real-world stunning technology. They’re incredibly effective in law enforcement, but it’s less exciting for play if either player characters or their opponents drop instantly after a single hit. Robin D. Laws’ investigative space opera Ashen Stars is a notable exception, where […]
It was our intention with Eternal Lies, our epic Trail of Cthulhu campaign, to create a book to be brought alive by actual play, not just a handsome shelf-filler. And so it’s proved, with an Eternal Lies Keeper’s Community on Google+, advice and historical props over on the Yog-Sothoth forum, an interactive campaign map and […]
Cat Tobin is off back to Ireland in a few days, so in the meantime we’ve been planning how Pelgrane Press will level-up under its new management, with improved marketing, better organised play and (my favourite) spending more time playing games and attending conventions. Mark Fulford of sister company ProFantasy Software has been working on […]

The submission date for games is March 13th, 2015, so if you’re interested in running games at GenCon, email me for more information and to stay updated on our […]
Some of the fantasists of the early 20th century are arguable more popular and well-known than they were when they were alive. HP Lovecraft or Robert Howard, for example, with their Cthulhu and Conan tales cast titanic shadows over the fantasy genre. Other writers have slipped into comparative obscurity, like the wonderful James Branch Cabell. […]
Page XX A Column about Roleplaying by Robin D. Laws With my nearly year-long Feng Shui 2 series properly ushered to its exploding, juncture-rattling big finish, and my days currently occupied by a mobile game project I don’t have to playtest, I thought the Thursday night game should slip back into the familiar waters of […]

Our new releases include Temples of the Frogfolk for 13th Age, Accretion Disk for Ashen Stars, and GUMSHOE Zoom: Goëtia for Trail of Cthulhu In our articles Robin D […]
It’s been a month of big changes here (more on that later), but the first thing to say is that you have less than two hours to back the Kickstarter for Greg Stolze’s 13th Age novel, “The Forgotten Monk”, so get in there quickly! New releases in the Pelgrane store include the pre-order for the […]
