Mantic Games has started taking pre-orders for the Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game Core Book and a few additional extras for those wanting to get stuck in. All of these products are available to pre-order now ahead of a release at the start of December.

The Core Book for Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game comes with tweaked and updated 5th Edition rules to use alongside the basic mechanics from D&D. You'll be able to create your very own B.P.R.D Agents and take on the forces of evil alongside some notable characters from the Hellboy universe by Mike Mignola.

Let's Play - Hellboy: The Roleplaying Game

We actually got to sit down and play out a session of Hellboy when the Kickstarter hit. So, if you're interested in learning a bit more about the game and how it works, make sure to dive in and give it a watch.

Some of the additional kit that is also available alongside the Core Book includes the GM Screen.

On the front, you have some amazing Mignola art and on the back, you'll find reference material which will be handy for those running adventures. A good GM Screen is always worthwhile picking up, regardless of how seasoned you are. Having key information right there in front of you makes a big difference to the flow of a session.

There is also a set of themed Hellboy Dice, a full pack of polyhedral dice that come with nice designs on them to match the aesthetic of Hellboy.

A handy set of dice that would be great being used alongside pretty much any Pulp roleplaying game or indeed anything Fantasy. The B.P.R.D symbol is going to be a welcome sign when it pops up during the midst of a game! I very much like these and I think the black and white designs are spot on.

Finally, there is an additional release alongside the roleplaying game. If you're eager to play out some Hellboy adventures in a pinch then maybe check out the Dice Game!

The Dice Game makes use of the same dice from the board game but has been tweaked to be a push-your-luck card game that fits in your pocket. It's training day and the enemy isn't pulling any punches. You'll be going up against Frog Monsters and Rasputin as you try and push through a quick game for two-to-four players.

Could you be tempted to snap up these new Hellboy releases?
