Wandering Steel and Other Games / $4.99

Wandering Steel and Other Games / $4.99: Publisher: Symphoneers

In Wandering Steel, players take on the role of humans or robots that survived or were created by the ELDRIS disaster, a man-made catastrophe that ravaged Korvorak, destroying the island and warping what survived. Hidden from the rest of the world, it’s up to them to survive the strange threats that have arisen from the corporate rubble and find new meaning. Whether that means salvaging old work, escape, vengeance, or something else.

Wandering Steel is a ~41 page (half letter) narratively focused TTRPG built on a custom PbtA-like system. The rules best support short campaign encounter oriented play, focusing on a few big moments in the lives of the player characters. 

Additionally this bundle includes 11 other games, 1-6 pages each, from small system agnostic tools to full micro-games. This includes:

  • Astingrad 24xx: Players are retrieval agents for the great and strange library Astingrad. The books are rarely co-operative.
  • Alone Among Their Dreams: A small single player journaling game about venturing into strange and surreal spheres. 
  • Religion Check: An alternative method for handling faith in other games.
  • Ripples: A single player game about tracing a person's impact throughout time.
  • Wreck the Royal: A narrative microgame about assaulting/dethroning royalty.
  • The Exquisite Golem: A single page discord based play-by-post game about multiple players acting as a single mysterious golem.
  • The Cool Zone: A cheeky single page microgame about battling facism.
  • Mind Crawler: A single player journaling game about escaping from the surreal dungeon of your fears.
  • Quiet Bar: An experimental single page pensive LARP. 
  • Cozy Cabin Sim: A short and literally meditative solo game about simulating the goings on at a small cabin. Has goofy poetry.
  • Rezilora: A small multiplayer TTRPG about the inhabitants of Rezilora overcoming threats to their strange but wonderful city. Includes basic documentation for a fantasy language.

This bundle is the cheapest and easiest way to acquire every Symphoneers game produced up through 2021. Games come in multiple file versions where possible (single, spreads, txt), and most can be printed on a home printer. Some of the smaller bundle games will be less polished than the larger, newer entries.
