This month for me featured online games – a playtest of a Yellow King RPG adventure, new releases from virtual tabletop providers, and Steve Dempsey ran his 60th Fearful Symmetries session. It’s not quite the same as playing in person, but I find that aside from the convenience of online play, players spend more time […]

Here in London, it appears that an enthusiastic eight-year-old has taken over the weather control panel and is twiddling all the dials. I often forget the weather when running games. When I do remember to highlight it, it really draws the players in, even if there is no mechanical effect. Picture a meeting between spy […]
Both Senior Pelgranes are freezing our pinions off here in these Pretanic Isles, as inclement weather descends on us. I can hear the mocking laughter of Toronto-based Robin and Chicago-based Ken as we complain that -4C is cold. At least we can all agree that Farenheit is a nonsense, eh? From London, it feels like […]
This will be a short and snappy View. The Dragonmeet convention was a great success – we sold more books than ever before, and hosted a jam-packed investigative masterclass seminar. Gareth ran Fall of Delta Green for the entire Pelgrane crew. PAX Unplugged has the potential to grow to be a top-tier RPG convention, matching […]
This month sees the release of the pre-order of #Feminism, available in both pre-order print and PDF format. We’re also releasing the signed limited edition of Cthulhu Apocalypse, and eagle-eyed observers will spot a new section in our webstore, where we’ve added all our limited editions, which will be available while stocks last in each shipping […]

The Hawkins Papers are being assembled over the next week. Today is new Pelgrane Alex Roberts’ first day! We […]
The year nears its end, and it’s been a year, filled with non-Pelgrane-related turmoil, festooned with awards and topped off with Kickstarter fulfilment ! Now, with the Dragonmeet behind us, we move on to a belated See Page XX. After hundreds of playtests, the polishing and honing of the manuscript and a whole new look […]
This month we celebrated International Pelgrane Day and the tenth anniversary of GUMSHOE. We’ve uploaded The Crown Commands, the next 13th Age Battle Scenes book to the printers, and created yet more Hawkins Papers. Work on the extra TimeWatch books continues – they are in art direction, and Cthulhu Confidential is in layout. Also, available […]
In this season of mellow fruitfulness we’ve devoted our time to TimeWatch, the Hawkins Papers, the Crown Commands for the 13th Age and worked more on Cthulhu Confidential. The TimeWatch RPG is out now, supported by two supplements,Behind Enemy Times and The Book of Changing Years but their poll victory means an adventure seed featuring […]
This month has been dominated by the aftermath of Gen Con. We’ve been implementing the Pelgrane Plan for 2016 we decided in the Pelgrane Summit, followed up with licensees and distributors and generally bathing in the afterglow of the ENnie awards and meeting our lovely GMs and players. This month Cat and I have also […]
