Title: [Kickstarter] - Mythos Rising - Lovecraftian inspired solo game
Post by: AKULA on October 19, 2024, 09:02:55 AM
I thought that this game might be of interest to my fellow LAF'ers - a lovecraftian-inspired solo campaign

I’ve got some of the Zlight Zombie solo games & they are great fun to play & this uses the same mechanics, so should be good 8)

Sounds interesting, although I swear I'm just collecting rules at the moment

The rules span maybe 10-12 pages with extra space for explanations and lore, then another 16 pages or so being the actual game cards so if you want something self contained and that you might actually play, then this might be a good option.

As the author of course, I might be terribly biased!

It makes me remarkably happy when I bump into someone who owns/has played one of my games. You've made my day.

Stephen is there a way to get Mythos rising if you missed the kick starter?
