Launching

October 2026

The first two roleplaying games from Scratchpad Publishing will be coming back in 2027! By supporting this project, you can help bring both Dusk City Outlaws and Spectaculars back into print, along with some extra components and elements to enhance your games!

These two off-the-shelf games are perfect for getting some tabletop RPG action going without a bunch of advanced prep. Lacking a quorum from your game group and don't want to play a session of your usual campaign? Having an impromptu game night and wanting to play a roleplaying game? At a convention and looking to fill an evening with friends? Dusk City Outlaws and Spectaculars are designed to be played with minimal preparation. Once all of the players know the rules of the game, you can start playing a scenario with brand-new characters in a matter of minutes. Character creation is fast and easy, and each game comes with several fully designed scenarios and rules for introducing complications and enemies on the fly to eliminate the need for lots of before-the-session prep work.


A Fantasy Roleplaying Game of Heists, Cons, and Other Thievery

Dusk City Outlaws is an Origins Award-nominated tabletop roleplaying game for 3-6 players, set in the sprawling city of New Dunhaven. In this game, the players take on the roles of criminals on the wrong side of the law, collectively known as the Right Kind of People to those who run in outlaw circles. These criminals come together to form a crew, and take on a Job, a criminal enterprise brokered to them by a third party.

One of the eight cartels that rule the city's underworld.


The Mole is one of the specialties you can choose form when making your crew member.


Once the Job has been assigned, the crew must come up with a plan, do the legwork to set it into motion, pull off the plan, and then survive long enough to get paid.

A Tabletop Roleplaying Game of Comic Book Heroes

Spectaculars is a tabletop roleplaying game where players create their own comic book universe, craft heroes and villains to populate that universe, and then play through full-length campaigns to tell incredible stories of heroism and villainy in a world of their own creation. This box set game gives a gaming group everything they need to play the game, and to create their own consistent campaign that spans multiple comic book genres.
