Some of these bugs make bloodsucking lawyers look like saints — at least the lawyers wait for you to sign something before they drain you dry. But don’t sweat it, future Bug Buster! Head Office has streamlined the paperwork so you can start blasting before your coffee even cools.

The Web Head patch isn’t handed out for style — it’s earned by the few who’ve been wrapped up tighter than last week’s leftovers and still managed to cut themselves free. If you’ve stared down eight legs and lived to tell about it, you’ve earned this one.

Meet the Cubix — because sometimes you need to light up a room and your enemies. Stick this giant flash cube to any surface, let the motion detector do its thing, and watch those bug-eyed creeps stumble around blind while you move in for a clean shot.

Hey Rookie, don’t forget to grab your jabs or you might find your throat closing mid-mission. Some of these bugs sting harder than bad chili, and the only thing between you and the morgue is that little injector in your pack. Keep it close. Use it fast. Live to gripe about it later.

Meet the cutest piece of surveillance tech you’ll ever risk your life for. Don’t let the polka dots fool you—this ladybug-shaped remote unit scurries behind enemy lines, streaming live footage straight to your controller.

I was thrilled to talk with Garry Snow of @diekugames.bsky.social on Friday about Designers & Dragons Origins. He even used some fancy split-screens to show some samples of the book itself.

(Thanks Garry!)

The Order of Doug is the ultimate goal of every Bug Buster. You can add your name and call sign to the prestigious list at the back of the Core Rule Book with this Kickstarter Add-on! Act fast because there are only 80 spaces in the Order of Doug available!

When you're dangling from a catwalk, and your only lifeline is a metal beam, the Electro-Lash's Magnetic Grip Tip becomes your best friend. Activate the electromagnetic field, and suddenly, you're swinging like a punk rock Tarzan. Just remember: it's not the fall that gets you—it's the Save vs Doom!

Trust is a luxury you can’t afford in the field. Bugs are masters of manipulation, wearing the illusion of innocence like armor. Some may look cute. Some might seem scared. But don't let their chittering charm fool you—every Bug is a threat, and hesitation gets you swarmed.

The Bugzooka: when a can of bug spray won’t cut it. This shoulder-mounted launcher delivers a fiery blast that turns alien insects into cosmic dust. You better not miss though—this thing takes a few rounds to cool down, and the bugs won’t wait for your reload.

The Lonely Chapel rests on a tooth of rock between the Inner and Outer Keep. The vicious Crow-Crones have inhabited the belltower, but somehow the drunken priest remains unharmed.

Duginthroat Divided is live on kickstarter and almost funded!
