Sessions 1 & 2 here.| The Colours of Pentagrams
Yesterday I was scrolling through Itch looking for anything interesting, as one does, and happened upon Tales of the Burned Stones. I've never really been one for solo games, but recently I've been feeling the itch to revisit my Souls-inspired world that I ran for some of my friends back when I was first testing out Have Axe, Will Travel.A world that is essentially a kind of "shadow real" based on my current sandbox campaign world. A place that is forgetting itself and thus allowed to be just...| The Colours of Pentagrams

This is something I had worked on very lowkey whenever an inspiration happened to strike, and roughly a month back I felt like I finally had something solid enough for it to be put through some testing.| The Colours of Pentagrams
