In September 2024 we presented the new Troika! 2024 Bundle, our third offer featuring recent supplements and adventures for Daniel Sell’s Troika! RPG, a psychedelic fantasia on the 1980s Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. In January 2021 we presented the core Troika! rulebook and many supplements, and Troika! Worlds in October 2022 added even more. The Melsonian Arts Council RPGcontinued strong, and its bizarre hallucinations (along with a permissive third-party license) inspired many indie designers to tune in, turn on, and drop new titles.
In Troika! you might play most anything: a Wizarding Nautiloid, cryptozoologist, venomist, Misstep Monastic, Octopod Headfoot, Charonite Guilder, or maybe a Washed-Up Blacksash, dimension-hopping in your golden barge among the crystal spheres strung like pearls across the hump-backed sky. The simple Troika! rules, inspired by Fighting Fantasy, let beginners and jaded roleplayers alike go wild in crazed cross-planar pursuits. Trip the light fantastic with this new assortment of visionary sourcebooks fueled by hallucinatory creativity.
There were four titles in our Starter Collection (retail value $25) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the complete Numinous Edition of the Troika! core rulebook (which previously appeared in both our past Troika! offers) and these third-party sourcebooks:
- Swann Castle (Hex Games): The forested crossroads at the Multiversal Junction of 100 different worlds.
- Bridgetown (Technical Grimoire Games): Connect your campaign worlds with this endless crowded bridge, and take time to make a tasty stew.
- Goblin Mail (Evlyn Moreau): A deep dive into the disorganized multiversal postal system run by goblins. Can you retrieve your package?
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our entire Bonus Collection with six more games and supplements from Melsonian Arts Council worth an additional $55, including the standalone Troika!-based standalone superhero RPG Longshot City and these adventure sourcebooks:
- Academies of the Arcane: A construction kit for wizarding colleges in any fantasy campaign.
- The Big Squirm: A noir investigation by Luke Gearing (Fevre Swamp) in Downgate Arches, the walthy and corrupt estates suspended by chains above a dark void.
- The Hand of God: You are kidnapped and imprisoned three miles high atop the index finger of a titanic stone statue overgrown with life and ur-gods and the demon-bird THOG, thief of dreams.
- Slate & Chalcedony: Two sorcerous towers are draining life from the spheres. Stop this otherwise inevitable doom!
- Whalgravaak’s Warehouse: Explore a centuries-old shipping site created by a cruel logistics wizard.
