Fragment Playtest Open

Imaginary Empire is looking for playtesters for a new game.  Fragment is a one-shot game of machines and memory, originally entered into the 2016 edition of Game Chef.  A playtest edition of the game is available now.  Fragment is a GM-less roleplaying game for 3-6 players.

Welcome to the Last City

Players take the role of machines; isolated, discarded and possibly obsolete.  Reactivated for an urgent task, the players' machines explore and navigate a decaying city where machines are ascendant, although few are  functional. If they can navigate the dangers of each city level and reach the apex of the city, the players will determine the fate of both human and machine.

Award for Death of Legends

Death of Legends, our dark-fantasy roleplaying game that tells the story of epic deeds against great odds, was recently awarded an Indie Groundbreaker Award for Best Rules and was second runner up for the Indie RPG Award for Best Free Game of 2015.

I am hugely honoured by this recognition.  My sincere thanks are due to all of those who helped make this a better game, including editor Andrew Smith, artist Thomas Boatwright, cartographer Karl Vesterberg, and all those who playtested the game and gave feedback to improve the rules, particularly Morgan Davie, Aaron Griffin and Donna Giltrap.
