Announcing A Pocket Guide to Smocklehythe, now in early access!
Available to download right here.
Currently, this is the newest version of the Bare Bones of GRAVEROBBERS, my system for adventure games of stealth and sedition, featuring:
- updated rules (very minor changes)
- six brand new Crimes (the Firebrand, Gaolbreak, Mooncusser, Nighthawker, Resurrectionist and Witch)
- new items and Black Market prices (from toffee hammers to hallucinogenic treacle)
- gorgeous illustrations throughout (by Jon Bliss, who I’ve worked with before on GoGoGolf! and Journeylands)
- new layout (still fits on two sides of A4 though!)
- landscape and portrait versions for easy use on screens or to print at home
Eventually, the Pocket Guide will expand to include:
- new Black Market vendors and a rumour table
- two micro adventure locations
- additional rules for carousing and character growth
- a fishing minigame
- an in-game card game
And as much as I can squeeze in there tbh.
If you buy now, you’ll get the full version free when it updates. I’ll probably hike up the price when that happens, so get on it now! Or, the free version of the Bare Bones is still up on my shop and always will be.
Graverobbers is the game I’ve been working on pretty much since I started this blog, and I’m so excited to be putting together an actual starter kit with adventures and setting all rolled in together.
I know that most of what I make is fairly small, but that’s because I’ve been reducing this game down to its barest essence over and over, playtesting and tweaking for half a decade now. This isn’t minimalism, it’s triple-distilled London dry adventure gaming. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever made, and I’m so excited to give you the chance to play.
If you like what I do here, please consider checking it out and showing your support! Cheers x
