Four new features to discover in role-playing games

Role-playing games continue to renew themselves with ever more varied proposals, between return to the roots, narrative experiments and singular universes. Here are four new features that illustrate this diversity.

Broken Compass

Among the recent releases, Broken Compass stands out for its assumed homage to the great pulp adventures. Players take on the role of intrepid explorers on exotic expeditions, between lost treasures and spectacular dangers. Thanks to a fluid and narrative-oriented system, the game favors a fast pace and scenes worthy of adventure movies.

Dangerous Gary

A striking new addition to the frenchscene, Dangerous Gary immerses players in a contemporary universe tinged with strangeness. The game features explorers of abandoned places — the "donjexers" — who discover passages to mysterious dungeons, hidden in our reality. Halfway between urbex and fantasy, the experience is based on exploration, the unknown and an often disturbing atmosphere. His system, inspired by Into the Odd, reinforces this direct and immersive approach.

Shadowdark

With Shadowdark, fans of medieval-fantasy find a resolutely "old-school" approach. This new feature brings back the exploration of dangerous dungeons, with a strong tension around resource management and survival. The rules, uncluttered, support a dark atmosphere where each choice can have decisive consequences.

Unfinished

More introspective, Unfinished is part of the contemporary narrative game movement. It features characters marked by incomplete stories, regrets or personal quests. The focus is on emotions, relationships, and the inner journey, providing an experience centered on narrative and character depth.
