Greetings visitor!

Since 2003 this site has been a shifting resource for a local, long running tabletop gaming group that typically meets, face to face, bi-weekly. The faces change occasionally but we have been playing one game or another since the late 80’s/ early 90’s. The core group has been as low as two players and as crowded as thirteen. Ages are now typically older, but we’ve accepted youngsters into the group on occasion.

Interests, family and professional obligations impact our group, but it feels like we’ve always had a standing game on tap. We all pretty much started with AD&D 1e and have continued through 3E. We transitioned to Paizo’s Pathfinder 3.5E branch when D&D 4E hit. The 3.5E OGL is still our default fantasy genre with various house rules and at least one home-brew campaign setting. We have played everything from D&D to Shadowrun to WEG Star Wars to Battletech/Mechwarrior. We also spent a dark period in the 90’s enthralled by the World of Darkness.

Thank you for visiting, I hope you are inspired and entertained.

RPG Oracle Press will be the formal publishing arm of RPG Oracle. We finally decided to knuckle down and start publishing our archive of home brew materials in a format that we would be willing to purchase and play.

We will likely start by publishing a core mechanic system as a generic, stand alone product for anyone to develop settings and adventures.  Yes, there are a ton of existing systems we could license or build from for free but where’s the fun in that? We can then develop our home brew materials as compatible products.

We will likely begin with a fantasy setting, Andrus, that’s been in various levels of development since the mid 1990’s. Most of the setting specific mechanics and details have been written but need review for compatibility with the core mechanics once it’s complete. After that it’s editing and then production.

Materials will initially be published digitally using Drive Through RPG for simplicity. Because we’re not limited by any kind of license; Kickstarters, Patreon style funding and using materials as rewards are all possibilities.

The cost of solid artwork is prohibitive for small publishers. Raising funds to contract reliable artists to develop a unique identity will be priority as we cycle through our material. We would also like to recruit some authors to write short fiction using our settings as flavor throughout our products.

Beyond the Andrus fantasy setting, we have tentative plans for sci-fi and a modern settings.

DriveThruRPG has become one of the largest marketplaces for freelance and out of print role playing games. Explore their store and discover your new game setting or system!
