Sanguine Games announces MADCAP: Table-Top Cartoon Roleplaying

Madcap Title Card 31-May-2017

Sanguine Productions is proud to announce MADCAP: Screwball Cartoon Role-Play. Based on the popular Apocalypse World engine, this game of laughs, lumps, and lunacy is designed from the ground up to be a hilarious experience unlike any other. In a cartoon world of ridiculousness, it’s not about winning — it’s about failing forward. From the classic of Bugs, Daffy, Tom and Jerry… to the revival of Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, and Freakazoid … and even onto the post-modern takes of Spongebob, Adventure Time, and Regular Show… our game reminds you and yours what it was like to get together and laugh at yourselves. (And trust us — you’re really funny to laugh at!) We’ve assembled a dream team of cartoon historians, fantastic artists, and our usual gang of idiots… and we need your help to light this candle.

MADCAP is now available for crowd-funding options. For a limited time, you can get exclusive artwork from animation professionals — your own cartoon character, immortalized in a role-playing game, the highest form of entertainment media! With your support, we can take this act on the road: new platforms, new stores, new artists, new novelty! Click here to spread the MADCAP lunacy.

Sanguine Games announces FARFLUNG – Sci-Fi Role-Play After Dark

Cover for Farflung 17-Feb-2017

Sanguine Productions is proud to announce FARFLUNG: Role-Play at the Limits of your Tomorrow. Based on the popular Apocalypse World engine, this high-concept science fiction game explores the possibilities of characters far, far more powerful than your typical role-playing game. From immortals beyond that transcend time, up to alien destroyers of entire worlds, and right down to the mostly-harmless Earthlings clearly in over their heads, you may immerse yourself in the experience of post-scarcity, transhuman space. But if anything is possible, then what is interesting? We have such sights to show you.

FARFLUNG is now available for crowd-funding options, and we invite you to participate in more ways than ever before. Early-access copies are available for immediate review. (Yes, pledge right now and immediately receive a working copy of the game.) And with your support, we can take this experiment in interactive fiction to new heights, such as new platforms, retail release, story-telling tools and more. Click here to share and enjoy Farflung.
