NEW: In Forbidden Psalm you recruit a warband of 5 greedy souls to undertake Vriprix the Mad Wizards’ bidding. But the Mad Wizard hasn’t just bet on you. You will face rivals before you will seen any of his coin. Hunt ravenous monsters and unearth dangerous relics as you search for the Psalm itself....maybe even help the Mad Wizard locate his misplaced socks.

Forbidden Psalm is a 28mm miniatures agnostic game. You can use any miniatures you already own that fit the bill or build custom minis for this game (with random tables to help you determine how to build them). Solo Play and Coop rules included. All content is also able to be used in the MĂ–RK BORG tabletop RPG.

The End Times Edition is the definitive version of Forbidden Psalm. This edition combines both the Core Book and the expansion In the Footsteps of the Mad Wizard into one bursting-at-the-seams edition of the game.

NEW: Stonetop is a “hearth fantasy” tabletop RPG set in an Iron Age that never was.

The players portray the heroes of an isolated village near the edge of the known world. Their adventures focus on dealing with threats to the village and seizing opportunities.

These aren’t rootless mercenaries seeking fortune and glory; they’re exceptional people, taking risks on behalf of their friends, family, and neighbors.

We're excited to offer a few copies of this acclaimed roleplaying game via our friends at Plus One

30 solo games in 30 days! #7

Miru from mimic publishing is a solo analog adventure game where you're on a mission to kill a god.

It's a solo hex crawl exploration and survival with a clear game loop that plays something like a board game where you have to make hard decisions about what you take with you and what you leave behind.

It plays through in 2 to 4 hours and you probably won't survive your first time through. But that's okay because each time you're making a unique hex map as you make your way through the adventure.

Grab Miru now at Tabletop Bookshelf along with a load of other solo game zines just like this!
