Magnetic Press announced that it will launch Magnetic Press Play, a tabeltop roleplaying game imprint.

The new imprint will bring the graphic novel publisher's award-winning IPs and other properties to the tabletop gaming world as roleplaying games, starting with Carbon Grey by Hoang Nguyen. Other planned projects include games and supplements for the Call of Cthulhu RPG and several anime series. These RPGs will run on the D6 System RPG engine created by former Star Wars RPG publisher West End Games (see "WotC's Ambitious Schedule").

"Tabletop gaming is all about creating new stories through gameplay, and it’s the kind of experience I’ve wanted to return to since leaving a 20-year career in video games,” said Mike Kennedy, Founder and Publisher of Magnetic Press Play.

Carbon Grey is a dieselpunk alternate history RPG with elements of the paranormal included. The sourcebook for this game is written by Andrew E.C.Gaska, an award-winning game designer who recently worked on Alien RPG for Free League Publishing (see "'Alien' Stalks the Tabletop"). Carbon Grey RPG will be released by the end of the 2021.
