The final 50 minutes for Sanction RPG. So damned close to The Red Watch, you can feel the Red Weeds beneath your feet and the howl of the Martian tripods running the length of your every mortal nerve. The end is nigh! bit.ly/SanctionRPG

There are TWO Sanction RPG Kickstarter exclusives: - the hardcover with a white-foiled logo (at either The Red Agent or The Treasure Seeker tiers), and - the PDF adventure, The Red Drop, is available only if you pledge at a hardcover level. 8 hours remain! bit.ly/SanctionRPG

The overthrown Martian set up a prolonged ululation, and immediately a second glittering giant, answering him, appeared over the trees to the south. Sanction's Kickstarter closes at 6 PM (5 PM UTC) tomorrow. It has been a glorious ride. One more stretch goal, perhaps? bit.ly/SanctionRPG

We have come a long way in the past two weeks. And we're down to the final 48 hours. We stand within touching distance of Stretch Goal #4. We're almost, but not quite, In The Midst Of Shades. #TTRPG #RPG #Kickstarter #FinalHours bit.ly/SanctionRPG

Sanction's hardcover edition is a Kickstarter exclusive, limited to those who pledge during the project. If you fancy the white foiled logo fabric bound hardcover edition, now would be the moment to declare intent. Back at Red Agent or Treasure Seeker. bit.ly/SanctionRPG

We're 4 days from closing the Sanction Kickstarter campaign. We passed the third stretch goal yesterday, funding Safety Lies in Fear. Next, In the Midst of Shades. So, the important question is: What is this ghost hunter's name? bit.ly/SanctionRPG

This morning, a spirited rally on the Kickstarter gives us a ghost of a chance to wraith onwards to our next stretch goal—In the Midst of Shades. Thank you for your continued support—you meet the challenge to make anything possible with your enthusiasm, sharing and support. bit.ly/SanctionRPG

Thanks to the GMs and other players for making it so much fun, and to @matthewbroome.bsky.social for organising the whole thing.

We dealt with eldritch WW1 horrors and military treachery in Never Going Home, more or less solved the mysterious case of the mashed marrow in Liminal and got completely tangled up in time travelling conundrums while preventing imminent apocalypse in Agents of Excalibur.

Wanderers seeking their fortune, explore the ruins of broken faith in the hope of finding treasures. Alas, the steep and thorny way leads only into danger and despair. But, to the challenge you cry false, for safety lies in fear. We're halfway to Sanction's next stretch goal. bit.ly/SanctionRPG

There are important questions, and we don't have all the answers. But, can you help with our enquiries... and our call for refreshments? #TheAgency #TTRPG #RPG #SanctionRPG #WroughtBySanction bit.ly/SanctionRPG

The Agency is about grubby, lo-fi, but often effective espionage. Underfunded, unsupported, off-the-books, and quickly disavowed. This could be Slow Horses, The X-Files, distant handlers of the Cold War, or a cold shoulder from Uncle. Follow the link to support Sanction: bit.ly/SanctionRPG

The Sanction RPG kicks off the game with simple character generation, achieved with dice or playing cards, a little imagination, and a few choices, like how to set your Resources. Do you opt for six-sided dice across the set or try to stand out from the crowd? bit.ly/SanctionRPG
White text on a maroon background, entitled Dice Steps For resources with a large 06 numeric in the top right corner. Characters set out into the world with potential, but relying on the benefits of teamwork if they want to raise their chances of success. A basic character has six steps assigned across the three basic Resources - Physical, Willpower, and Mental - with the potential to improve as they grow in experience and, hopefully, earn a reputation.
