BRW Games was founded in August 2012 with the mission of publishing tabletop games that appealed to an “old-school” gamer aesthetic. We publish the Adventures Dark and Deep™ role-playing game and rule supplements, the Castle of the Mad Archmage™ megadungeon adventure setting, the Greyheim Adventures™ series of adventure modules, and a series of supplements for the World of Greyhawk Fantasy Setting written for the 5th edition of the D&D rules.
Adventures Dark and Deep™
Adventures Dark and Deep™ explores the question, what if the designer of the world’s most popular role-playing game had not left TSR in 1985, and had been allowed to continue developing it? Using the 1st Edition rules as a foundation, we’ve taken those hints and built an entire game around them. There are new character classes like the bard, jester, mystic, savant, and mountebank; streamlined combat; new spells and magic items; consolidated and re-worked monsters; and much more besides. And it’s all compatible with most other old-school games, so all your favorite adventures can be run using Adventures Dark and Deep™.
Castle of the Mad Archmage™
Castle of the Mad Archmage™ is an enormous megadungeon adventure module in the grand tradition of the dungeon-crawl campaigns that inaugurated the fantasy role-playing hobby. It has over 13 levels of mayhem, exploration, monsters, traps, and treasure, and can easily entertain your players for years of steady play, or as a “tentpole dungeon” that can offer your players a change of pace from their regular adventuring duties. Available for Old School (OSR) games, the Pathfinder Role-Playing Game, and now for 5th Edition! And if 14 levels aren’t enough, there are expansions, too!
World of Greyhawk
The World of Greyhawk is one of the oldest published settings for role-playing, and we have put out several books for the 5th edition of the game, in order to bring the setting back to the old-school aesthetic. The Campaign Guide gives a complete (system neutral) overview of the setting; the Player’s Guide gives a number of new races, subclasses, backgrounds, and more for players; the Cleric’s Guide gives a complete cleric subclass for every Greyhawk deity; and the Guide to Orcs brings back the classic monster to its rightful status as a bad guy, including a comprehensive guide to orc tribes and various orc sub-types.
Greyheim Adventures™
Greyheim Adventures™ is a series of old-school adventures that can be set in any campaign, with both series of adventures around a common theme and plot, or stand-alone adventures that can be easily inserted into any game. There are beginner’s adventures, an Underdark trilogy, pirate-themed adventures, demi-planes, and more.
