Our Backerkit campaign is just about to start, and we will have some amazing gifts for our supporters!
We've been making games for solo players for a while now, and one question keeps coming up: "I want to try solo RPGs, but I don't even know how to begin." That question is exactly why we wrote the digital book How to Play (and Enjoy) Solo RPGs.
It's system-agnostic, which means it's not tied to any single game. It's a guide to the craft of solo play itself. How do you build a world when there's no GM handing you the scenery? How do you keep track of everything without losing the thread? How you use oracles, journaling, and randomizers not as crutches, but as creative fuel. It's the kind of book you read once and then keep coming back to every time you sit down to play.
Every backer of our March 3rd campaign gets something we've never offered before: The Dark Legacy System digital book, the complete core engine behind our entire solo RPG line, yours to use, adapt, and build on however you see fit.
This is the mechanical foundation that makes The Legacy of Cthulhu work, the same system you've been playing with, now fully documented and open for your own projects. Create your own settings. Design campaigns that expand the Dark Legacy universe. Build something compatible with our existing line and share it with the community. It's yours to use, and we genuinely can't wait to see what people do with it.
It's our way of saying thank you and inviting you to become part of what this universe becomes next.
OUR EARLY BIRD SPECIAL: For the first 48 hours of the campaign, we're doing something we've never done before, and honestly, something we can't wait to see unfold.
Every backer who pledges within the first 48 hours will have their name written into the Dark Legacy universe...permanently. We're creating a roster of premade characters for upcoming games and modules, and those characters are getting named after you. The catch? You won't know who you became until they are out there in the wild. Maybe you're a hardened survivor clinging to sanity in the ruins of a cursed city. Maybe you're the monster the players are running from. Maybe you're the mysterious NPC at the center of everything, the one the whole campaign turns on. We genuinely don't know yet either, and that's kind of the point.
