The digital files for Ganymede Outriders have been fulfilled!
If you backed Ganymede Outriders, you should have received emails from Itch and DriveThru will access to your copy of Ganymede Outriders, and the linked files!
If you have the opportunity, please consider leaving a rating on Itch and DriveThruRPG – every rating helps increase visibility, and means more people are likely to find and play Ganymede Outriders.
I am thrilled to be able to release this game, and it’s down to the support of our backers. Thank you! I hope you get even a fraction of the enjoyment from reading and playing Ganymede Outriders as I have in creating it.
If you didn’t back Ganymede Outriders, and are keen to see what it’s all about, you can find it on Itch here, and on DriveThruRPG here.

So what’s next for Ganymede Outriders?
Once the print copies have been delivered here at Caradoc Games, I’ll begin fulfillment to all Outrider and Commander level backers. For anyone who missed out, and wants a physical copy, they’ll be available from the Caradoc Games website, and from Indie Press Revolution and Exalted Funeral after I have finished fulfillment to backers.
With the ‘Drift System’ file in the downloads, and with Ganymede Outriders available for use under the Caradoc Games License, I hope that anyone who is keen takes the opportunity to create their own content for Ganymede Outriders, or utilising the Drift system. If you do – make sure to let me know so I can celebrate and share!
I plan on kicking off a ‘Drift Jam’ on Itch.io later this month, and would invite everyone to consider creating something for the jam – whether it’s a business card with a table of crazy Ganymede Events, an adventure, or a spin-off hack of the game system or setting – I’d love to see it!
What’s next for Caradoc Games?
Aside from the above? Well…
Behind the scenes I’ve been working on our next game: ‘With Every Fibre‘. This is a fantasy game set in the city of Fasthold – a once floating city that has crashed to earth in an unknown landscape. Adventures can take place in the fortress of Fasthold itself, in the dangerous mines and tunnels beneath Fasthold, or in the unknown wilds beyond the shadow of the city…
This is another A6 game, with a full unique system and setting in one book. I’ve been playtesting this one for a while now, and am really excited to share more in upcoming months. It’s also the first game I’ve released where I have drawn all the art!
