About the adventure

By taking inspiration from media like Dorohedoro, Signalis, The Backrooms and the 20th century Brutalist architecture we reach the Vast, a liminal realm hidden far away from our own. Always waning and on the verge of collapse, it is home to countless labyrinths and fractal laboratories. Each one, home to Relics that might help you get out of here. You will have to quickly adapt to life among the wastes and ruins, with only your wits and memories to keep you sane, banding together with other Travelers to survive this crumbling purgatory. Time will tell if it will be enough... The first Memory that disappeared is the smell of books and the glass Guardian is caring for it. Session 0 will be free The price will never increase.

About me

Greetings beautiful people! I'm Alex, a referee and a guide for the many systems and settings I know and like to run. What began with an obscure system at a friend's house has now grown into running games regularly in two different cities, organizing events in game shops and, sometimes, local fairs. A dear journey made possible with the help of other people in the world of on-line gaming, from Dimension 20 to the blogs of Matt Colville. I was always an avid fan of the hobby, but the chance to learn from other people and styles of play is something that always drives me to reach out for more. ​✨​ I love to run games of the odd and different settings. Especially in the horror genre, as I adore the grit and wits that a player is capable of bringing out in the time of need against the limitations of oneself. It might be a neighborhood recreated by a cult leader, a hospital eaten and distorted by a hole or even a zombie virus that transforms the body as people give in to their deepest desires. But I also like to take a break from such stories and see the cozy life of small mice in a tree or knights traveling across a wild realm. Grab a seat, roll some dice and live through impossible odds. I can’t wait to see you at one of the tables. ​🎲​
