The Oracle

​

This monthly RPG magazine is designed and written to empower Games Masters with the skills, confidence and content that will make running games easier, quicker and more enjoyable. 

​

This is our core produce and we pore a lot of time, effort and love into ensure the 52+ pages are filled with great system-neutral fantasy content such as detailed articles, maps, diagrams, tables and illustrations.

 

Issues are available via our store and subscriptions via our Patreon page.

Issue 16 Spooky theme!
​

The uncanny and the unusual!

​

This was a ton of fun to write. Lot of unusual and strange details - our editor thought the rat god was brilliant and marketing loved the strange xenoplant creature that Hal and Roger run into on their travels!

Written not just to inform but also entertain some sections are written in-game style - most specifically the New Creatures Section which is recounted by two brothers as the go on their adventures and report back to their masters.


Our inspiration goes back to the early years of White DwarfDragon and Dungeon magazines as well as other less well-known titles like Ares and Level-Up.

We aim to honour their tradition and deliver practical, useful and imaginative content to your inbox once a month, every month.

​

Issues are A4, a minimum of 52 pages long (from issue 7), and in a modern landscape format ideal for viewing on phones, tablets and laptop screens.
