To start things off, Free League Publishing (Fria Ligan) have announced two new books for their recent Twilight: 2000 reboot.
Twilight: 2000 is (now) an alternative history game, "the world war that never was", with player characters stranded in Europe as the world slides into something a little bit post-apocalyptic.
- The Black Madonna is a campaign supplement based on a first edition adventure. Set in Silesia (Poland), it's got new factions and a plot tied to the titular painting.
- Hostile Waters is a sourcebook for waterways, pirates and marine environments. Apparently based on the Pirates of the Vistula book for the original game, but no longer specific to a particular region.
Still haven't played the rebooted version — I've meant to, but the aftermath of a major modern war recently felt a little bit too topical for a setting — but it's been very positively reviewed. Might pick these up and see if it inspires a campaign.

Just got my copy of "Outgunned", plan on making a page for it when I have spare time. Anyone else got it?
Not one I know - any initial thoughts on it?
Looks fun, might challenge Feng Shui for my favourite action-genre RPG. The Shout Outs in the Action Flicks book alone could have their own page. World of Killers is basically the John Wick series with the serial numbers filed off.
Okay, got a basic page for Outgunned up, further contributions appreciated.
Some other announcments:
Bizarre Love Triangles, the first scenario pack for the extremely meta DIE RPG is out. Create your characters, normal 21st century folk, then watch them get eaten by the game Jumanji-style and try to escape before it digests you.
Grant Howitt's latest one-page RPG, Miracle Workers, has also had a public release following its Patreon launch. You're not adventurers, you're poorly paid insurance workers for a clerical/necromancer's guild. When the adventurers get horribly killed in a dungeon, you're the mooks sent out to recover their bodies for resurrection, as per their contract with the guild. Having read it, I really want to run this one...
And Free League's reboot of space opera Coriolis got funded on Kickstarter and is now on the way - Coriolis: The Great Dark. Looks grimmer and, er, darker than the original.
A thread for sharing news and discussing anything interesting that's just been announced or published. This may include:
All systems are on-topic here, including those with their own specific threads (D&D, Warhammer etc).
