On the left, "Purgatorio: Battles of the Guelphs and Ghibellines 1176-1325" showcases a dramatic scene with armored knights engaged in battle, set against a backdrop of a medieval castle and a cloudy sky. On the right, "Infernal Machine: Dawn of Submarine Warfare" presents a dark underwater scene featuring a submarine, with faint light illuminating the water and hints of a shipwreck in the background. Both covers highlight the historical themes of their respective games.

GMT Games have four new titles due to hit stores in early May, covering Medieval Italy, Submarine warfare during the American Civil War, a solo kit for the Cuban Revolution and a Presidential update kit.

A lone vault dweller stands with their back to the viewer, gazing out over a desolate wasteland, accompanied by a dog. The character is dressed in a blue jumpsuit with a yellow stripe, equipped with a rifle slung across their back and a pistol in hand. In the background, a ruined cityscape is visible under a cloudy sky, emphasizing the post-apocalyptic setting. The text "A SOLO ROLEPLAYING GAME" is prominently displayed at the bottom.

Modiphius Entertainment have opened the Vault doors once again, but this time you’re on your own in the Fallout: Wasteland Wanderer Solo Roleplaying Game. This 264-page, available as a Hardcover or PDF, contains a complete standalone set of rules, adapted from the Fallout: The Roleplaying Game, to create your own vault dweller and take them on their own journey.
