A quick blog post review of some of my favorite Lord of the Rings media.
A very nice Bridgetown review!
I made a little video game! It isn’t very good. But maybe you’ll enjoy reading about it anyway.
The current Troika Bundle features a bunch of incredible games, including our very own Bridgetown!
“Bridgetown is a pastoral, liminal RPG setting of a never-ending, ever-crumbling bridge. Built for Troika, usable anywhere.”
Get all the books for $20! All profits from Bridgetown go directly to the two writers: Johnny and Furtive Goblin.
In which I go on a long rambling journey about how RPGs set and reinforce their tone: through mechanics, through writing, and through small details.
