Tales from the Loop X Alchemy
In 1954, the Swedish government ordered the construction of the world’s largest particle accelerator. The facility was completed in 1969, located deep below the pastoral countryside of Mälaröarna. The local population called this marvel of technology The Loop. In this roleplaying game, you play teenagers in the late 1980s, solving Mysteries connected to the Loop. Everyday Life is full of nagging parents, neverending homework, and classmates bullying and being bullied. Escape the mundane and be a part of something meaningful and magical – something dangerous… Experience the mystery in The 80’s That Never Was on the world’s first virtual tabletop (VTT) built specifically for cinematic immersion and theater of the mind gameplay. Alchemy’s scene-based structure empowers gamemasters to tell incredible stories with animated environments, motion effects, ambient sound, and original music. Throughout the Weekend in the Loop event on Start Playing Games, you’ll be able to join experienced GMs (Gamemasters) ready to guide you through immersive mysteries within the Loop, regardless of your experience with Alchemy, Tales From the Loop, or tabletop roleplaying games. Don’t miss out! Dive into this mystery-adventure setting steeped in 1980’s nostalgia and uncover the secrets of the Loop. Join a game on Start Playing Games today.
