The Planet of the Apes Roleplaying Game Arrives in February 2026

THE ROLE-PLAYING GAME OF THE PLANET OF THE APES CORE RULEBOOK HC

WRITTEN BY ANDREW E.C. GASKA, & E.L. THOMAS
ART BY CHRIS SCALF, RUNA I. ROSENBERGER, CHANDRA FREE, & SHANE MOLINA
COVER BY BILL SIENKIEWICZ

The global sensation of the Planet of the Apes comes to tabletop in this official role-playing game!

The Role-Playing Game of the Planet of the Apes will challenge every idea you have ever had about a role-playing game. You will be thrust onto a planet where humans are the lowest order of living things and the superior beings are apes. It’s the evolutionary process—but in reverse.

Become an intellectual chimpanzee who seeks to better apekind through science and exploration. Choose an orangutan statesape whose weapons are philosophical debate, political savvy, and the power of the Sacred Scrolls themselves. Perhaps a gorilla soldier is more your style—honor-bound to protect Ape City and lead aggressive expansions into new territories. What else, if not an ape? Be a time-lost astronaut struggling to grasp a world gone insane. Become a mute tribal human forced to scavenge for resources as you are hunted by murderous gorillas on horseback. The rules even allow you to play mutant survivors who use the power of their minds to turn their enemies against each other.

Built on the official Magnetic Variant (D6MV) of the classic D6 System role-playing game rules created by West End Games, The Role-Playing Game of the Planet of the Apes is easy to learn yet full of challenges to master. With settings and lore written by sci-fi novelist Andrew E.C. Gaska, this core rulebook contains all you need to role-play in this upside-down world where apes evolved from humans:

Detailed histories and lore from Planet of the Apes
24 character classes to choose from
Optional Stun and Encumbrance Rules
SRP Defenses create fast-paced combat
Extraordinary Abilities give your PCs an edge
Quirks and Expectations help define character motivation
Statistics for the mutated monstrosities that lurk in the Forbidden Zone
Plus a host of new Gear and Weaponry that will help turn this upside-down world right
Compatible with all Magnetic Press Play’s West End Games D6 products

THE PLANET OF THE APES RPG ANSA SOURCEBOOK HC

WRITTEN BY ANDREW E.C. GASKA, & E.L. THOMAS
ART BY CHRIS SCALF, RUNA I. ROSENBERGER, BILL PULKOVSKI, & SHANE MOLINA
COVER BY CHRIS SCALF

An encyclopedic sourcebook for the classic Planet of the Apes franchise for use to expand the adventures in the official role-playing game!

Bring the cinematic thrills and shocking twists of the five original Planet of the Apes movies to your tabletop game. Now you can interact with the apes and humans that have come directly from the silver screen—Caesar, Taylor, Zira, Hasslein, and, of course, Dr. Zaius—every iconic character is gamified for campaign use with biographies and statistics. This sourcebook showcases a detailed chronology of the distinctly different timeline that arose out of choices made by both human and ape alike.

The ANSA Files are filled with reference resources of the larger-than-life personalities, weapons, and settings from the classic films and novelizations—The Planet of the Apes, Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, and Battle of the Planet of Apes—plus linking material from the novels Conspiracy of the Planet of the Apes and Death of the Planet of the Apes! With more than five times the adventure in one place, this sourcebook lets you experience the span of the POTA universe like never before . . .
