I’ve been playing around with this a bit, and it’s really cool (as a standalone game, worldbuilding tool, or PC backstory generator).

My alien lost his father to dementia, his mother in the planet’s collapse, then was radicalized by alien researchers who chose earth as their target for conquest.

Solo games aren't my thing, but damn this is an amazing cover. Also, if you're not aware, The Last Caravan is a #TTRPG about a road trip through a frozen apocalypse to get to safety in the aftermath of an alien invasion. It's FitD-like, but lighter rules-wise than BitD, and just a cool game.

COVER REVEAL for the solo journalling game that we're including inside The Last Caravan's next expansion: Homeworld Song! It’s a game about finding out who you (an alien) truly are in the face of unimaginable tragedy (your world dying).

Looking for a new adventure TTRPG to try?

WYRM is here. Rules-lite, OSR inspired play, with a Gila twist.

Grab the core rules, starter adventure, and starting sandbox hexcrawl, all PWYW.

Plus it has a killer cover, with more art coming.

Three figures commune beneath the branches of the holy tree Wormwood. Nestled in the branches and upward are stars, some of which connect in a small constellation.
