| Welcome to
Peter Schweighofer's latest publishing endeavor. Griffon Publishing Studio
aims to disseminate Schweig's self-published game materials (roleplaying
games as well as card and board games) through the PDF medium. Browse the
Roleplaying Games and Board/Card Games sections; since the site is relatively
new, you won't find too much offered, but you'll also find some notes on
products Schweig's working to bring to publication. Schweig's roleplaying
game material will use the innovative Any-System Key, allowing you
to adapt his sourcebooks and scenarios to your favorite game engine.
The Any-System
Key describes character skills and
task difficulties in terms that easily translate into different game systems.
These terms do not link into any one game engine, but serve as general
guidelines to give readers an overall sense of how they fit within their
own game’s stat and difficulty scale. Any-System Key publications
provide settings, characters, adventures, and other source material you
can easily adapt to your favorite roleplaying game.
Download the free Any-System
Key PDF (146k) now.
Test this adaptable system with
a free medieval scenario,
The Village
War (802k PDF).
You will need Adobe
Acrobat Reader to open these files.
Free downloads
offer a glimpse of some of Schweig's past work and a sampling of his varied
interests. Many appeared on Schweig's original site, Griffon's Aerie.

 Heroes
of Rura-Tonga is a 104-page roleplaying game supplement presenting
source material outlining elements for a 1930s pulp campaign in the South
Pacific and five, full-length scenarios. Heroes of Rura-Tonga includes
more than 30 pages outlining elements for a 1930s pulp campaign in the
South Pacific:
-
Description of Rura-Tonga, its history, environs, and inhabitants.
-
Overview of political developments affecting the region.
-
Information on period seaplanes, including the Grumman G-21.
-
Briefings on Japanese forces operating in the area.
-
Six archetypical heroes to use as pregenerated characters or templates
for original characters.
The supplement also features five, full-length scenarios set in this exotic
locale:
-
“Island of the Damned” crash lands the heroes, along with a patrol
of Japanese pilots, on an island inhabited by others castaways who satisfy
their ravenous hunger by stalking the living.
-
In “Ship of Ghouls” a derelict freighter mysteriously appears, threatening
the settlement at Rura-Tonga with its horrid secrets: mutant abominations
and a seemingly unstoppable plague.
-
“Doom of the Lost Library” sends the heroes on a quest for a missing
Indian treasure trove fraught with betrayal, ancient guardians, and divine
magic.
-
“Wrath of the Mountain Goddess” pits the characters against earthquakes,
tribal superstitions, and a mischievous shaman on their mission to stop
the island’s volcano from erupting.
-
In “Rockets of the Rising Sun” the heroes investigate and attempt
to sabotage new Japanese military technology that could unbalance a coming
war in the Pacific.
This pulp-era sourcebook uses the Any-System Key
to describe stats and difficulties in easily defined terms gamers can quickly
customize to their favorite game engines. To use the information in this
roleplaying game supplement you’ll need a copy of the Any-System Key
(included) and your favorite roleplaying game system.
Author Peter Schweighofer follows his popular period Pulp Egypt
sourcebook with another foray into the exciting world of pulp adventure.
Schweighofer’s past work includes contributions to various incarnations
of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, the Indiana Jones Roleplaying
Game Raiders of the Lost Ark Sourcebook, Indiana Jones Adventures,
and the Weird War II Afrika Korpse supplement.
