A Bug-Sized Role Playing Game
In Beetle Knight, you play as arthropod Knights designated by the Iridescent Order as protectors of the realm of Litterfall. You are thus duty-bound to travel the world, helping those in need.
Unexplained phenomena and deep history permeate the world of Beetle Knight. Arthropod characters with diverse cultures based on every bug imaginable populate the cracks and hollows of Litterfall.
Litterfall is a patchwork of territories. Every centimeter of the ever-changing land is spoken for and each has several ancestral claimants. As a member of the Iridescent Order of Knights you are driven by honor to investigate the mysteries of the realm.

Arrived quickly and recipient loved it.
A great game with lots of potential for some fun sessions. Clean printing for a paper zine, but the printing edge wasn't very cleanly cut. The excess paper stretched out past the cover page, something most other zine products trim off to make the product appear a bit more professional
I would recommend this game to admirers of the rules-light OSR crowd, with gusto. And, as always, Tabletop Bookshelf's delivery is exemplary and efficient in its quality. Thanks!
