Explore the lives and secrets of a small, isolated town. Inspired by stories like Twin Peaks, It, and Dark, where the town is as much a character in the story as its inhabitants. Isolated, turned inward, and more than a little creepy, the town is the monster in this tale. It rarely lets people go: characters are born and die here - and only if they’re very lucky does the latter come as the natural end to a long life. |

1 - Super Easy |
A unique roleplaying game to be played in one session, in which you play heartbreakingly beautiful mages who fall in and out of love across the distant and crumbling Empire of the Moon. Uses haiku-writing as a core conflict resolution mechanic. Very little prep required. There is no GM, but there is the Ghost-Emperor.

Wandrils is a system-agnostic random-path inter-planar micro-dungeon (whew!). With a little work on your end it can be easily imported into any game that features inter-planar weirdness (i.e. Troika, Rifts, D&D, etc.).

You are bounty hunters in a post-mecha world, hunting down the rogue pilots and soldiers that refuse to turn in their license and submit to the new Space Mom mega hegemony. The universe and its people are shaped by Before, the war where massive war machines, sinister warminds, and the mechs that walked the stars, caused massive, planet-wide destruction and left the universe in a mess of mecha wreckage.
How long before you make a choice?
How long before you rebel?
