New RPG Sourcebook to Commemorate 85th Anniversary of WWII’s Outset

In alignment with the 85th anniversary of the German invasion of Poland, which marked the beginning of the Second World War, a new RPG sourcebook titled “Setting Europe Ablaze: The SOE Sourcebook” is set to be released. This book allows role-playing game enthusiasts to simulate the operations of the Special Operations Executive (SOE), a covert British organization active during WWII.

Developed by military history and RPG author Russell Phillips, the sourcebook provides a flexible, system-neutral framework that caters to various role-playing systems. It focuses on the espionage and sabotage missions carried out by the SOE behind enemy lines, offering players a different perspective on WWII scenarios.

The title of the book, inspired by Winston Churchill’s directive to the SOE to “set Europe ablaze,” highlights the risky and impactful nature of the missions undertaken by SOE agents. These missions ranged from supporting civilian resistance groups to facilitating the escape of Allied servicemen.

Funding for the book’s publication was secured through a successful Kickstarter campaign, which exceeded its financial goal by 272%. Backers of the project gained early access to the sourcebook among other rewards.

The sourcebook “Setting Europe Ablaze” is now available for pre-order on major platforms like Amazon and Waterstones and will be released on DriveThruRPG starting September 1. Further details can be found on the author’s official website.
