Brian Fitzpatrick & Moebius Adventures

On Saturday July 24th, Gallant Knight Games was notified that Brian Fitzpatrick of Moebius Adventures passed away unexpectedly in an accident.

The loss of our friend, colleague and publishing partner is heart wrenching, and we can only imagine the pain his family is going through. Brian was a vital part of our day to day lives, both in the industry and outside of it, and his loss is deeply felt.

While the family takes the time they need, we again extend our heartfelt sorrow at this unexpected loss and everyone to respect the family’s privacy.

SOLAR BLADES & COSMIC SPELLS wins Questies Award!

Last weekend, we found out that SOLAR BLADES & COSMIC SPELLS, from our friends and partners at OLD SKULL PUBLISHING has won “BEST GM TOOLKIT IN AN RPG” from Questing Beast!

Diogo Nogueira had this to say:

Solar Blades & Cosmic Spells is one of the games I spent the most time working on and it’s really a work of love. A love for Old School style RPGs. A love for pulp science fiction stories. A love for Metal Hurlant comics. A love for heavy metal music!

This week I was gladly surprised to find out Ben Milton from the amazing Questing Beast YouTube channel has awarded it the Questies Award for Best GM Toolkit in a RPG of 2019! Coming from such a scholar in RPGs and in OSRish RPGs such as Ben, this is an incredible honor. Ben has been a huge influence in my work and in my tastes in games, and I’ve learned a lot from his reviews, observations and overalls writing and design techniques.

So that’s it! I am an award winning game designer now! Solar Blades & Cosmic Spells is an amazing game that always inspires me to create more, and I can see making more material for it for years to come!

CONGRATS to Diogo and the OSP team, an honor well deserved and hard earned!

You can find SOLAR BLADES & COSMIC SPELLS in the GKG Webstore or on DriveThruRPG!

ANNOUNCING: YUKON DARK – A Tiny Cthulhu Actual Play

Hey folks!

Gallant Knight Games has a new live-play stream of Tiny Cthulhu coming soon! Starting March 25thYukon Dark will stream Thursday nights at 9:30 PM EST on Twitch, YouTube and Facebook! This 12-week arctic horror campaign will feature game play of the TinyD6 system in a story written and gamemastered by Mari Murdock.

Campaign Overview

The year is 1898, and the Yukon is home to North America’s last mass trek for gold: the Klondike Gold Rush. Stories of instant fortune and frontier adventure have lured people from all over, many of whom are ill-prepared to face the dangers of the north. However, even more threatening forces lurk in the isolated wilderness.

The citizens of the dwindling boomtown of Porte Blanche struggle to eke out a living from the rough terrain and miserly gold mine. Yet, as the harsh arctic winter looms ever closer, no one seems able to leave, suggesting that there may be a more sinister purpose for the town and perhaps the promise of gold was only a ploy.

Our band of investigators must discover who trapped them here and why.

GALLANT KNIGHT GAMES to partner with Jim Davies to publish “Things that Go Squeak in the Night”

UT – August 11th, 2020 – Gallant Knight Games is excited to announce they have signed a deal with Jim Davies to publish Things that Go Squeak in the Night, Davies’ urban fantasy setting and tabletop roleplaying game about heroic mice defending the modern world!

The agreement allows Davies to focus on the game and product design while retaining complete control. Gallant Knight Games will assume most of the role traditionally associated with a publisher, including sales, marketing and inventory. All of the Things that Go Squeak in the Night product with be co-branded by both Gallant Knight Games and Jim Davies.

From Alan Bahr of Gallant Knight Games

“Ever since Jim reached out to me, we’ve engaged and chatted, and I was immediately sold on the concepts and themes Jim was presenting. A final playtest locked me in and I was hooked. This is a delightful game, one that has deeper stories to tell than a reader might expect, and it’s beautifully suited for families, gaming clubs, school and library programs, as well as traditional gaming groups.”

From Jim Davies

“I’m very proud to be working with this company, which produces high-quality products, in terms of game design and production,” Davies says, “I feel that I’m in very good hands. Working with Alan has been a pleasure.”

He describes his first encounter with the Tiny D6 system as a breath of fresh air. “After reading Tiny Dungeon, I felt like my mind had expanded. It opened up possibilities that I hadn’t imagined before. It has influenced all of my game design decisions since.”

ABOUT THINGS THAT GO SQUEAK IN THE NIGHT

Things that Go Squeak in the Night is a tabletop role-playing game where players get to play heroic mice who save human children from supernatural threats like little demons and faeries. It happens in a version of our modern world that has dark, hidden magic and anthropomorphic animals. Stories in this game feel a bit like a cross between The Rescuers and Ghostbusters. The rules are non-deadly and narrative-focused, encouraging bold heroism in a charming urban fantasy setting.

Would you enjoy describing how an elite mouse would take down a possessed cat using nothing but dental floss? That’s the kind of thing you get to do in this game.

Things that Go Squeak in the Night will come to Kickstarter next year, in 2021!

ABOUT SAINTs & SYNNERS

The damaged and battered body of the galaxy has been infected. The wounds caused by the Armageddon War left a place for darkness to grow. The Syndicate, warlords, and remnants of the invading Nagatha have taken root in the rim worlds.

Those left behind often turn to the Syndicate or seek to make their way through the gray. A fog of governments who stand only as puppets to those pulling their strings. The SAINT agents seek to restore the law of the land, but they are the few against the horde. Standing on the brink with just a push the rim can slide into the abyss. Are you SAINT or Synner, choose before the galaxy chooses for you.

SAINTs & Synners will be Kickstarter when it’s prepared and will use the Savage Worlds: Adventure Edition ruleset!
