False Prophecies RPG Cassette
Hi all! I’m excited to announce that I’m working on a second cassette release, FALSE PROPHECIES. I’ll be honest, I’ve had an idea on where I wanted to go with this release, but I’m really sort of just winging it.
Here are the things I knew prior to starting the cassette project:
I wanted to include a tabletop RPG version of the SWORD OF HAILSTONE journey (something you can play with your friends!)
I wanted it to be Mork Börgier
I wanted something that gets a little extra value of out of the map from the SWORD OF HAILSTONE release
So, here’s where I ended up! The front cover of the cassette features ASPECT OF ZYZRX, front-and-center, to which the whole front cover will feature information on the gigantic stone bust. The back of the cassette case features a full hex crawl campaign, allowing you to take your adventurers on a journey through Kergüs.
A little teaser of what’s to come:
Why the same story?
Frankly, while the app was super fun to put together, I really underestimated the amount of development is required to create a role playing game. For what is easy to write a single sentence of rules in a zine (or cassette case), it’s a massive time commitment trying to write the programming for all of it. I was not able to add a few things because of this. In the TTRPG version of the story, you will find that the cursed sword you pick up at the beginning is actually cursed, Sword of Hailstone does things, there’s more fever-dream mind-melting stuff that goes on, Azemar is more than just a ton of hitpoints. More character interaction in general, really.
The game will run on the same map that was created for Sword of Hailstone. So for those who picked up the first cassette gets a little extra value out of their skeleton warrior and cassette case. Those who did not purchase can pick up the printable version.
How do I obtain the cassette?

I’m shooting for a release in early September. I will initially have 100 cassettes in stock. This time, I will not be doing a prerelease. So when they are available, they are available. I’m trying to lock down a European distributor for friends across the ocean (I found out with SoH, that international shipping costs suck).
