As a long time gamer i can appreciate the work and creativity that went into this. No randomness, not a generic fill the rooms megadungeon. This guy has given us a creative and thoughtful megadungeon that i can't wait to run a group through. Definately worth the money, well done project!
My guy's gleeful giggle over this was well worth the purchase!
I've heard about Mörk Börg for some time, and wanted to check it out. This book claimed to be stand-alone and it may well be, but it's such a chore to read. I get that that's the aesthetic, but sometimes function has to come before form.
I reached out and they more than made up for it! :) TYSM! I look forward to shopping here again soon
This was my first time playing a solo game, but the system and prompts were very easy to use. It was an enjoyable roleplaying experience, and depending on the length of your journaling/prompt responses, could be a one-shot afternoon or take several sessions as you weigh your choice. Will definitely try other games from Exuent Press if they are like this!
This little heavy box is just what I needed to kick my campaign off for the summer!
My first time with a ttrpg and I’m having a great time with it!
Not just a great game but also great art and design too!!
Never thought I’d see a pro-wrestling RPG but glad I picked it up. I have some people interested in it already!
Very cool! An interesting idea and layout! Im looking forward to this solo journey!
Very cool! Informative, gorgeous artwork, and a mystical trippy world build!
I’ll start with the good: I love the art in this book. The idea of co-creating lore is appealing. The core idea of moving through history is cool. I just found that the game loop was too slow and the mechanics were poorly defined. For example, for the world building to really work you have to write down notes for each room. Rules as written there are just too many rooms generated to keep the momentum. By the second phase of the game you have to go back and add more description to each room. For us we had 36 individual rooms by the end of the first phase. This is a lot of writing to be coordinated in a group context. It felt like the game was all prep and no pay-off.
The mechanics around room creation were ill-defined too. We spent more time trying to figure out rulings around the dimension limits of L-shaped rooms than we did actually filling those rooms with interesting details.
The grid paper template that’s included in the book is too small to facilitate the game if you are following the room dimensions listed in the rules.
At the end of the day I wondered how much play testing this game went through. Maybe I’m just playing wrong? I think the core idea is good. I will probably still use the procedure with some re-writes to the rules to make a dungeon at some point but I would treat this more like a dungeon generator workbook than a game to play with friends.
I'm playing solo, running 4 characters using the ShadowDark system. About 1/3 through it, and it's a pleasure to explore. Getting bits of lore, making most of limited resources and inventory, strategizing without guns a-blazing.
This was my first solo tabletop RPG, but it certainly won't be my last! As soon as I flipped through the book, I got excited, and when I started playing, I couldn't stop! I already have three episodes "in the can," and I can't wait to make more. Not only is this a bit of a puzzle game, it's also a "getting to know yourself" better kinda game, and that makes it (and each PT) invaluable :D
If any of those sound appealing, this book is for you. It's a wonderful extension to Thirsty Sword Lesbians, the must-have queer ttrpg. The most valuable part of the book are the new playbooks, which offer fun and useful new archetypes. To be honest, this is an expensive book and there doesn't seem to be a bundle discount, so I'd recommend coming back to this after you've played the original for a while. But if you want tons of setting and story ideas (some wild ones, including playing as a pack of hyenas!), then this book is for you. I really wasn't ready to spend the money on this, but what sold me was the Wasteland Roller Derby setting. As a derby lesbian, this is peak queer Rollerball-esque apocalypse for me. Like TSL, this is a beautifully bound and printed book, and you're buying the artwork and the queer vibes as much as, maybe more than, the game.
Couldn't find this anywhere else so I'm glad they had it in stock
