Renegade Game Studios has released two new sourcebooks for the Power Rangers Roleplaying Game and the Transformers Roleplaying Game. Titled Through the Shattered Grid and Technorganic Secrets, these books offer expanded gameplay options, new characters, and additional storylines for fans of both franchises.
Through the Shattered Grid: Power Rangers RPG Expansion
Through the Shattered Grid draws from various Power Rangers comic series, including Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Go Go Power Rangers, and Power Rangers Unlimited, to provide players with new adventures and challenges. The sourcebook introduces two non-Ranger Roles, The Magna Defender and The Guardian of Eltar, allowing players to explore characters outside the traditional Ranger framework. It also includes three new Influences and seven new Origins, such as the Coinless Resistance and Void-Touched Hero, which add depth to character creation.
Players can interact with 15 new Contacts, ranging from allies like Grace Sterling and the AI XI to more ambiguous figures like Drakkon, Lord in Exile. The sourcebook also presents 42 new Threats, including the Eltarian super-team Sentry Force Four and the formidable Spa’ark, the Death Ranger. Through the Shattered Grid requires the core Power Rangers Roleplaying Game rulebook to play and is designed to enhance the existing gameplay experience with fresh content and storytelling opportunities.
Technorganic Secrets: Transformers RPG Expansion
Technorganic Secrets focuses on the Beast Wars era of the Transformers universe, introducing new gameplay mechanics and character options. Players can create and roleplay as fan-favorite characters like the Dinobots and Maximals, with new gear options for Alt Modes and Beast Modes. The sourcebook also provides new Origins and Influences for Cybertronians who take on beast forms, including Fuzor combinations and Transmetal forms.
The book includes Threat Stats and Contacts for key characters such as Optimus Primal, Blackarachnia, Grimlock, Tankor, and Megatron, enabling players to explore alternate scenarios and character deviations. Additionally, Technorganic Secrets offers guidance for creating Beast Wars-style campaigns, with advice on managing smaller casts of characters, exploring alien worlds, and handling Quantum Surge events that disrupt reality. The sourcebook also introduces 13 new General Perks, five new weapons, and rules for animal companions, adding further depth to gameplay.
