System of the Month September: Imperium Maledictum

The setting

«Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Imperium Maledictum» is a d100 based system for roleplaying in the grim darkness of the 41st millennium.

Players take on the role of citizens of the Imperium in service to a powerful patron, with games focused on investigation and social encounters rather than combat. The Imperium is a deadly place, and the players must tread carefully if they hope to survive. Your service to your patron allows you to move through Imperial society where others can’t. The Influence you and your patron have with the many factions of the Imperium will determine how your investigations proceed, where you can go, and what resources you have access to.

System of the Month August: Breakfast Cult

The setting

«Breakfast Cult» is a tabletop roleplaying game about mystery, high school drama, and cosmic horror. It takes inspiration from weird fiction, mystery games, and supernatural anime to create a bright, macabre setting where pain and horror lurk just beneath the surface of a dysfunctional high school. If you’re looking for cosmic horror with an original twist, give it a try!

The adventure

Welcome to Occultar Academy, the top occult high school in the world, where high school drama meets eldritch horrors. Things are never quiet here: ancient rituals are used to summon forgotten elders of the past, things get stolen from Forbidden Sections, prom might get ruined, there are rumours of spies and vampires. It’s up to our heroes to figure out exactly what’s going on in this week’s episode, solve the mystery, and ideally not get into detention.

System of the month June: Daggerheart

Have you ever wished that your heroic deeds were determined not just by raw numbers, but by the pure tension between hope and fear? That the world is shaped not only by the Game Master, but by the entire group at the table? If you’ve been nodding along while reading this, then you definitely need to take a look at Daggerheart!

What is Daggerheart?

Daggerheart is the fantasy roleplaying system from Darrington Press (famously known for Critical Role). It was developed to tell epic stories that focus primarily on the characters and celebrate the fine line between triumphant success and dramatic twists. In a world full of magic and danger, you step into the roles of brave heroes whose fates are inextricably linked to the forces of Hope and Fear.

The Highlights: Duality Dice & Narrative Freedom

Unlike classic systems that often rely on a single D20, Daggerheart utilizes a mechanic that transforms every roll into a narrative moment.

  • Duality Dice: You always roll two 12-sided dice of different colors—one represents Hope, the other Fear. The total result determines whether you succeed, but which die is higher decides how that success (or failure) manifests.
  • Success with Hope vs. Success with Fear: A success with Hope grants you additional resources and momentum. A success with Fear means you achieve your goal, but at a certain price… perhaps a new danger emerges, or the situation becomes dramatically complicated.
  • Card-Based System: Instead of leafing through thick rulebooks, you use “Ancestry,” “Community,” and “Domain Cards.” These cards keep your abilities right at your fingertips, making character development tactile and intuitive.
  • Collaborative Worldbuilding: Daggerheart places great emphasis on players and Game Masters creating the world together. Your backgrounds flow directly into the game world, turning every campaign into a unique community project.

Registration

Are you interested in trying out this system for yourself? Our club is planning open game sessions for Daggerheart. Stop by our DiscordServer, sign up for the events, and find out if your story will be carried by hope or end in the shadows of fear.

  • June 05, 2026 – English – Max. 3-5 players – Time: 18:30 to 22:30
  • June 11, 2026 – English – Max. 3-5 players – Time: 18:30 to 22:30

System of the Month: Goblin Errands

Anyone who has ever wondered if three goblins in a trench coat actually pass for a single adult, or if a locked door can be persuaded to open through pure seduction, should take a look at Goblin Errands.

What is Goblin Errands?

Goblin Errands is a “no-prep, rules-light” role-playing game where chaos is practically guaranteed. In a world that was definitely not built for small, clumsy creatures with questionable decision-making skills, you step into the roles of goblins. Your goal? To complete seemingly mundane tasks, so-called “errands.”

What makes it special: There is no traditional combat, no hit points, and above all, no complicated preparation. It is the perfect system to put all those absurd plans into action that would usually fail in “more serious” RPGs due to the consequences (or the game master).

How is it played?

Instead of wading through endless rule tables, Goblin Errands relies on narrative freedom and comedic timing. Since there are no HP, “failure” is not the end of a character, but usually the beginning of an even funnier situation.

The goblins don’t fight dragons; they fight the pitfalls of everyday life:

  • How do you buy a loaf of bread when your only currency is three shiny buttons and a dead fish?
  • How do you deliver a package when you get distracted by a particularly beautiful mushroom along the way (and promptly mutate into one yourself)?

System of the Month February: Nimble 2e

Nimble 2e is a fast-paced, tactical, and fully 5e-compatible TTRPG designed for groups who consider cumbersome and complicated rules a waste of time. It combines the best elements of the most popular role-playing games to finally eliminate the problem of endless battles. The system gives players and game masters more interesting decisions to make, reduces waiting times, and puts the focus back on experiencing epic stories.

Nimble 2e originally started as a “hack” in the dark corners of the role-playing community to break the inertia of traditional combat and shift the focus to experiencing stories.

Some claim the system is so efficient that it blurs the line between strategy and pure intuition, while skeptics believe that the system’s deadly speed was only made possible by a pact with the dice gods!

Language: English
Number of players: 2-5
