We're in the final stretch for Rusalka! Go catch it while you can. The game will be available afterwards, but this is your best chance to grab a print with @toadlett.bsky.social 's beautiful art. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n...

Look what the mailman brought in! The Roots of Soledad is here, and it's beautiful. To quote @matthijs1000.bsky.social : "Such a little box for something I've been so obsessed about".

In the latest campaign update for Rusalka, Oscar discusses the process of updating the rules for this new edition. Tweaking with a mechanism as simple and effective as the one Nick Wedig devised is always risky. As an editor, he started from actual game experience and from dialogue with the author.

In focused games, the devil is in the details. So the main tweak was to the flow of play: flashbacks now come first. A mortal's plea dredges up a recollection of the Rusałka's past life, and we listen to her tale or see what goes through her head. So we understand the reasons behind her answer.

One week has gone by, and we've almost tripled our original goal for Rusałka! We want this campaign to be a celebration, and so we leave the floor to someone who has been instrumental for this project. @toadlett.bsky.social's latest update is a deep dive into the art behind Rusalka.

You can see different water plants in each piece, often with symbolism related to each Rusałka's theme. The weeping willow trees in the Mysteries suit are associated with sleep and dreams, with obscuring and hiding secrets. The ferns in the Sacrifice suit are poisonous, and have a use in rituals.

Like in a good dark folktale, you approached the secret pool in the dead of night (here in Italy at least!) and granted the wish we made together: the new English edition of Rusalka is real! One day in, and we have almost doubled our original goal. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

The hour of the Rusałka has come. Can you hear the spirits of drowned women moaning in the night? Can you see the trails of desperate mortals seeking the secret pool with a dangerous wish in their heart? They all need you. To recollect and retell their story. Will you head the call?

The song of the Rusałka is ready to echo around the world. The Italian edition paved the way, and the international edition launches on BackerKit starting October 5! Nick Wedig's tragic fairytale RPG about wishes gone wrong will enthrall you with dark, dramatic, card-based play, with no prep or GM.

Being able to work on a cult classic like Rusałka is a privilege. Nick entrusted us with developing the new edition and Letty @toadlett.bsky.social was the ideal artist for this challenge: she's found the perfect balance between charm and horror to tell an eerie tale straight out of Slavic folklore.

Everyone @matthijs1000.bsky.social included has been deep in the Play Bologna vortex, but a nice review of the Soledad preview just came out by the Brazilian YouTuber @solerverso.bsky.social ! Check it out if you want a quick overview of the game. youtu.be/XcqU36hlE0Y?...

ATTENTION, AGENTS! Our colleagues at Triangle Agency France are crowdfunding the translation of @hauntedtable.games 's stellar <employee handbook/ttrpg>. If you have a French-speaking friend, go bother them about it Right Now!

The Roots of Soledad is LIVE on @backerkit.com ! @matthijs1000.bsky.social 's GM-less, card-based game will help you improvise a story of magical realism, in the vein of One Hundred Years of Solitude. Watch as every card helps the characters' tales get more intricate and tangled.

It is now less than 48 hours to the launch of Soledad. Maria is drawing stickers to keep the anxiety at bay. You too can profit off her nerves: this design will be our Early Bird incentive for those who back the game between May 7 and May 9!

Curious to see how The Roots of Soledad is going to play? @matthijs1000.bsky.social sat down with a couple of familiar faces for a short demo game. Watch them deal with rebels and art shops, with doppelgangers and strange forest creatures.

wake up, game trailer for The Roots of Soledad just dropped
