Dearest reader,
...I beg of you, if he attempts to contact you, you must not reply, under any circumstances. Please...
...They say that the mountain is magical, spiritual. Standing there, I couldn’t help but feel it too...
...A thick fog creeps over the Yorkshire coast, smothering whole towns. It claimed another only yesterday, yet already I struggle to remember its name…
There is nothing quite like getting a letter through your door full of exciting tales of adventure and intrigue.
Epistolary is a “play-by-post” role-playing game in a very traditional sense. Players write letters, in character, and send them to each other through the post. A game of Epistolary takes place over several weeks – or even months – of real time, corresponding to the same amount of time within the game world.
In Epistolary, the player characters work together to solve a mystery and prevent something terrible from happening. There is no game master or lead player: the details of the threat, and of the characters’ plans to overcome it, are created collaboratively through the exchange of letters as the game is played.
Features:
- A GM-less role-playing game for two or more players
- Asynchronous play: no need to organise sessions
- Truly collaborative: no player has complete information or control
- Beautiful artwork by Kira Smith and William Kerr
- Letter-writing guide and sample letters
