This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

There are a couple of new games fresh off Kickstarter recently that both capture pulp adventure action in the spirit of Indiana Jones, the 90's Mummy movies, Nathan Drake, Tomb Raider, Clive Cussler, Romancing the Stone, Tales of the Golden Monkey two-fisted tales. 

Temples & Tombs by Gallant Knight Games uses the Free League Year Zero engine https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/355732/Temples--Tombs, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/greyauthor/temples-and-tombs, https://delta-pavonis.blogspot.com/2021/05/first-impressions-temples-tombs-rpg.html

Broken Compass is by Italian company Two Little Mice and uses its own custom system where you aim for d6 dice rolls of two of a kind, three of a kind, etc. almost similar to Yahtzee https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1961292629/broken-compass-adventure-role-playing-game, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsGgpk1isNw&ab_channel=DaveThaumavoreRPGReviews, https://twolittlemice.net/brokencompass/

Any thoughts on these 2 games that have a similar focus?
