What We Do
Award-winning and ENnie-nominated Rogue Games is the home of games that speak for themselves.It should be obvious. We design tabletop role-playing games. From the occult horror hidden in the shadows of the American Revolution, the blood and glory of Shadow, Sword & Spell, and the land of tales, myths, and legends of Fairyland, Rogue Games has something for you.
Inspired by the writings of Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, and H.P. Lovecraft, Shadow, Sword & Spell is the fantasy of a different sort: pulp fantasy. This is the fantasy where heroes seek to carve their own glory, and the threats faced are outside the scope of humankind.

About
We make tabletop role-playing games for the shadows, the blood, and the strange.Colonial Gothic uncovers the supernatural darkness beneath the American Revolution—occult conspiracies, secret societies, and horrors the Founding Fathers never committed to paper. Shadow, Sword & Spell delivers sword and sorcery the way Howard and Leiber wrote it—savage, heroic, and unafraid to bleed. Fairyland ventures into the fairy tales before they were tamed, where the woods run deep, bargains carry weight, and happily ever after costs something.We've been doing this since 2007, building games and a devoted community one book at a time.
As founding members of [Bits and Mortar](https://bits-and-mortar.com), we hold to a simple principle: buy the book, get the PDF. We support game stores and retailers, and we believe print and digital aren't enemies—they're partners.
