Let customers speak for us
I am pretty new to roleplaying games, and tend to find it a struggle to immerse myself in the world. The Time We Have elevates this by giving you "door cards" that set the scene, with a visual and short "intro" as a clue into the infection that will plague you. From there, the instructions are easy to follow, and the prompts help you easily fill the roles of the brothers. I actually played one round where my friend and I roleplayed as ourselves instead of brothers and it made the tale even more heartbreaking. The silence that follows the end of each day seems to grow longer and longer as you get closer to the end. When you are presented with your final choice as a survivor, the true weight of your decision finally comes to light. Do you continue on in sake of your brother, or do you choose to give in, refusing to spend the rest of your days alone?
The Golden Girls move to Twin Peaks
Great supplement to an interesting game
Definitely a lot more of a book than I thought. This has definitely helped me out so far for random one shot encounters while i plan around my party. Having so many prepared encounters at my fingertips that I can adjust or tweak on the fly really saves me so much time for spontaneous games.
Easy to use webpage/webstore to find and chose games. Customer service was excellent. I made a small goof and they responded quickly and were super helpful and understanding.
"The Ruins of Castle Gygar" was my first purchase through Tabletop Book Shelf, and I am not disappointed! High-quality product at a fair price with very fast shipping. I'll be ordering again!
A+ product, 100% worth the price! "The Ruins of Castle Gygar" packs SO much thought-provoking content into just 64 pages. Everything within in clear, concise, and just cuts to the chase. No excessive rules or guidelines, no vague trails of breadcrumbs. It's a rock-solid adventure that could easily be slotted into any fantasy TTRPG or otherwise, regardless of edition. The maps are compact but pack a punch, the encounters are straightforward without being mundane or boring, and the story's threads and concepts will suck you in and ramp up your imagination. This one's a can't-miss!
Beautifully illustrated with just the right amount of theater.
The two solo games I got were so good that I had to order more even though I won't have time to play them yet. No issues with ordering or shipping.
Once you've played through a few nights and gotten the hang of things, you find there's enough structure to keep things moving smoothly, but enough room to have fun with the characters and their interactions.

There are other voices in the darkness. With a deck of cards, a six-sided die and a stack of music, you will build a playlist, invent and interact with Callers to your show, and evolve their stories over as many broadcasts as you like. No matter their motivations, they simply must be heard. In that way, you are very alike.
VOID 1680 AM includes rules for single-session and ongoing play, instructions to have your show broadcast on the airwaves as an Affiliate, and even a way to add your voice to a library of Callers that other DJs can use in their own games.
Key Features
- An original rule system that helps you build a playlist with surprises and deep emotional connection, invent the Callers who call you during your show, and even provides rules for continuing Caller stories over multiple sessions.
- Methods for submitting your show for broadcast on the real VOID 1680 AM, and for becoming a Caller for other people's games.
- Beautiful original cover art by comic artist Jordan Witt, and custom radio diagrams by Dylan Todd.
