Fast shipping, hassle free, book was well packed. Arrive on time and in perfect condition. I will recommend this store to my friends for sure. Thanks
This book is amazing, well designed, super cool information about American folklore. It's a perfect field guide to the things of nightmares ( for somo). The only thing I wish is the the book had a hardcover, overall still enjoying it. Thank you
This ttrpg is light on the rules and easy to learn/teach. Got a game running with my kids pretty effortlessly. Character sheet is intuitive and the GM reference is clean and comprehensive. Love the concept, atmosphere and art. I'm already very familiar with the games that inspired it so it was a quick read. The game wears it's influences on its sleeve and I mean that in the best way possible. I highly recommend it for people who are new to ttrpgs and want a rules light imersive monster hunting experience.
Alot of fun but a definite slow burn game for me. I took my time but the gaming gods decided to test me on every choice I made. Legitimately it's a great atmospheric game, truly enjoyable
I picked thus up because I saw some reviews of it on YouTube and I'm glad I did. It took some getting used to because of certain mechanics but after my 2nd gameplay it was a lot of fun.
I knew vaguely what I was getting into when I purchased this book. Little did I know it was going to spark my creativity for writing stories again. Such a great book.
It's a lot of fun to create a character and see how long they'll survive. If they don't then just create another try to make better choices the next time around.
Amazing. A carefully packaged, high-quality product. Will certainly purchase from this shop again. Can't wait to play!

Spectres of Brocken
Ace Pilots, Broken Friendships and Giant Mechs
Spectres of Brocken is a game about making friends and then years later going to war against them in giant mechs.
Make up some young, naive, messy trainee mech pilots. Find out who you are. Find out who you are to each other. Find out what you want in the world.
Years later, find each other on the field of battle, each in your own fearsome custom mechs. Find out who you've become. Find out what you've all done to get here. Find out what costs you would pay to get what you want in the world.
The game system is largely inspired by the No Dice, No Masters system pioneered in Dream Askew and Dream Apart, by Avery Alder and Benjamin Rosenbaum
Features
- A fun twist on the No Dice, No Masters system, replacing abstract Tokens with Words that you can use as prompts for character action when gained or spent.
- Two phases of play, each with their own unique mechanics and feel, anchored by a common core.
- Academy Phase works like extended character creation and discovery, starting off with just one character trait and relationship and filling in the rest as you play.
- Conflict Phase pays off all the relationships and desires set up in the Academy phase, retaining Words from the past and recontextualizing them, bringing in Blood tokens to show how actions now extract a heavy toll due to the scale of the pilots’ mechs.
- Mix-and-match scene set up allows you to create many fun combinations out of 16 different scene situations and 16 key questions.
- Pick a theme song for your character that you can play during dramatic moments.
- Design your mech’s features as you play, introducing them when they highlight your character’s traits.
