HAIRFOOT JOUSTING:
A CONTEST OF SKILL, COURAGE & WHIMSY
Illustrated by Bonedust
A fast-paced miniatures game of whimsical fantasy jousting.
Grab a lance, jump on your mount, and get ready to joust!
While the Hairfoot halflings typically prefer eating and drinking to strenuous exercise, one thing that is sure to stir them from their armchairs is the noble sport of Hairfoot Jousting. Small teams take to the field on the backs of various unruly mounts – pigs, turkeys, sheep, and more – to tilt against their rivals, striving to knock them to the ground with their blunt lances. For the victors: fame, glory, and perhaps a new pair of gardening gloves. For the defeated team… well, everyone loves an underdog, so they’ll have more fans cheering them on next time!
Hairfoot Jousting is a quick and simple tabletop miniatures game in which players seek to lead their teams of three to victory in tournaments or over the course of a season. Play on some of the most famous pitches to grace the sport, such as Baker’s Run, The Puddles, and Barrel Bottom, each with their own special challenges. Point your jousters in the direction of their opponents and hope their mounts don’t have their own ideas! In Hairfoot Jousting, sportsmanship and a sense of humour are as valuable as skill or luck – after all, it’s joust a bit of fun.
Coming May 2025.

Illustrated by Biagio D'Alessandro
A supplement for Stargrave that explores the ideas of artificial intelligence run amok, soulless cyborg killers, and cyberpunk hacking.
Welcome to the Outlaw Technology Sector, a vast region of space cut off from the rest of the Ravaged Galaxy. Once a haven to criminals, political dissidents, and rogue scientists, it was overrun by an artificial intelligence intent on wiping out all organic life. Only through the combined might of the pre-Last War great empires was this menace brought down, and their retribution was terrible. Now the Outlaw Technology Sector is a dead place, a nightmare place. Navigational systems refuse to chart a course there, calling such paths ‘death vectors’. But the independent crews survive by going where others fear to tread, and the Sector contains technology not found anywhere else…
Death Vector is a supplement for Stargrave, containing 8 new scenarios set inside the Outlaw Technology Sector. Instead of the pirate fleets, the players contend with the legions of cyborg automatons that still prowl the region, hunting organic life. Paired with these scenarios is a new campaign element, ‘The Network’, which brings cyberpunk hacking into the game. This book also includes a new space encounters table to be used for adventures in the OTS, a new advanced technology table, and a bestiary filled with cybernetic horrors.
Coming May 2025.

FROSTGRAVE:
ADVANCED SPELLCRAFT
Illustrated by aRU-MOR
Expand your spellbook with Advanced Spellcraft, featuring new options for wizards and a ten-scenario competitive campaign.
While today's wizards are not as gifted as those who ruled Felstad, the recent discovery of the fabled Bibliosepulchre promises to change all that. It was in this great library-crypt that ancient librarians were interred, each clutching a rare grimoire. Who knows what strange energies have seeped from those tomes over the centuries or what shadows and ghosts stalk the dark catacombs? Only those truly obsessed with magic and the power it offers would dare to find out!
Advanced Spellcraft offers numerous new rules and ideas that bring more spellcasting possibilities to games of Frostgrave. Critical successes and failures for each basic spell are introduced, as are spell-specific flourishes that can be learned to enhance your magic. Create a Furious Quill that leaps from target to target, cast a Draining Word that affects an entire school of magic, or ensnare multiple zombies with Control Undead. Such flourishes are draining, however, and to even learn such secrets will require you to venture into the Bibliosepulchre itself in a ten-scenario competitive campaign.
With hundreds of new tricks for wizards to learn, Advanced Spellcraft is the largest supplement to date, and is presented in celebration of Frostgrave's 10th anniversary.
Coming July 2025.

THE SILVER BAYONET:
BRITAIN: BONES OF ALBION
Illustrated by Brainbug Design
Britain faces invasion and conquest – from Napoleon and from the undead – in this supplement for The Silver Bayonet, featuring a competitive campaign and a horde of new monsters.
As the spectre of invasion looms from across the Channel, the ghosts of Britain’s ancient past return to haunt the living. Centuries ago, as the Romans advanced across the land, a desperate druid attempted to wield a terrible power to curse the invaders… but the spell failed, Rome claimed another province, and the magic lay dormant. Now, as preparations are made for Napoleon’s seemingly inevitable arrival on these shores, labourers have uncovered a mysterious black stone and unleashed that fell curse. From Shetland to the Kentish coast, the undead of Britain’s past – Saxons, Vikings, Normans, and others – rise to march and conquer once more.
The Bones of Albion brings the action of The Silver Bayonet to the British Isles, a land under siege from both without and within. In a competitive campaign, specialist units preparing to either support or resist a French invasion will be called upon to investigate increasingly disturbing reports of the restless ghosts and revenants. Faced with rival units and a bestiary of menacing foes, they must discover why the dead are rising in such numbers and put a stop to it before Britain falls before a horde of the undead…
Coming September 2025.
