VOID 1680 AM

A Playlist Building Solo Game
Night after night, you sit alone with your thoughts, your music, and a microphone. Whether you come to your radio show with somber attitude or joyful spirit, you use the music that moves you to etch something fleeting and beautiful into the big empty.

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.

You can play it solo, but playing with a partner, spouse or loved one also opens up so much conversation. It’s like therapy for your soul. 10/10. It’s fun and you’ll cry happy tears and if you are lucky enough to play with someone you’ll finally open up wounds to heal them and learn about eachother as well and be able to talk and joke. Name it to tame it as my friend says.
Shipped quickly with sturdy packaging. Fantastic printing of this unique zine solo RPG. Thank you!
Role-playing as a radio host was so fun! I really got into it. I love how the creator of the game has a youtube podcast you can "broadcast" your recordings to as well. This game opens up a new community and method for discovering and sharing music, if you're looking for a way to curate and discover (or re-discover) songs without an algorithm.
Always super quick and in good condition
Already made several playlists and I love the prompts and caller ideas.
