Magnetic Press, a subsidiary of Polarity, announced this morning they will be making and relating a TTRPG based on The Planet Of The Apes. Officially titled Planet Of The Apes: The Role-Playing Game, the team will release a rulebook, a sourcebook, and several figures and static cards for the Ruins of Tomorrow Miniatures Set. The last of which will be designed to "capture the various character types, both ape and human, for strategic tabletop gameplay." We have more information about the set below; however, a release window was not immediately given, so we're not sure when this will see the light of day yet.
Planet Of The Apes: The Role-Playing Game
Developed by a team of award-winning writers and game designers under the leadership and direction of acclaimed writer/designer Andrew E.C. Gaska, this series will contain material inspired by the canon established in the original five-film series, adding new lore and adventures to this sprawling science fiction universe. The brand-new tabletop RPG will launch under the Magnetic Press Play gaming imprint with a hardcover Core Rulebook featuring cover artwork by legendary artist Bill Sienkiewicz.
This deluxe 300+ page volume will contain all the rules, statistics, and lore necessary to introduce new players to the legacy of Planet of the Apes. A separate sourcebook, The Ansa Files, will provide references and resources specific to the classic films, novels, and comics. A limited-edition Slipcase Set of the two hardcovers will be available exclusively through a pre-order campaign launching soon with unique textured casing that will appeal to true collectors and gaming aficionados.
In addition to these hardcover books, a Forbidden Zone Campaign Boxed Set will contain an assortment of supplemental tools and content to help players explore this dangerous region menacingly referenced throughout the series. Contents will include a campaign and adventure book, unique maps and player markers, a set of 12 thematic "Alpha and Omega" 6-sided dice, a 3-panel Lawgiver Reference Screen with handy tables, and a deck of game statistics cards.
Set on a strange yet familiar planet dominated by intelligent apes, the Planet Of The Apes RPG will introduce fans old and new to the dynamic action, politics, and warfare between apes, time-displaced astronauts, and the post-apocalyptic survivors of humanity. Beginning back in 1968 with the groundbreaking first film, the Planet Of The Apes franchise has spanned nine films, a TV series, video games, comics, and books.
