And That Means Comfort

As the sun’s first light spills over the far, undulating hills, you sense a stirring of living things: the hunting thrush, the curious rodent, the leaf-dappled river, the gardener late to rise and slow to task. Carried along breezes carelessly trapsing from a kitchen window left wide open is a notion of tidings, and of possibility.

The rules outlined in this booklet are meant to build on an existing game, found in “Zorthilaan’s Ever-glowing Pipe.” Those rules stand on their own and can be played as such, for the purpose of brevity. These pages, however, serve as s deeper guide and reference to unlocking possibilities in the game, as well as for expanding on one’s journaling skills in this or similar solo tabletop roleplaying games.

Found herein are Happenings Tables, Item Quality Tables, expanded gameplay rules, and world building prompts, as well as thoughts on Journaling and solo gaming. May they ever lend a hand when the game table is silent, and when silence is deafening.

Most of all, this booklet is here as point of sharing in the great ponderance of roleplaying. Not for restless and addled dreaming, but deep and restorative rumination. Such idling requires, above all, time! Time for slow, meager things. And that means comfort... 

Included with your download is the a 14 page digital zine, ready for print and play!
