May the Spirits be merciful to me. I have attempted to climb their starry ladder and unveil the secrets of their game! The story of many sinners and many saints, the tale of pilgrims and courtesans will serve you as a guide. It is done.

Every TTRPG I’ve read the past year has felt like a pale imitation of The Valley of Flowers. They’ve got a new Kickstarter coming up for the next book, and I expect it will be everything from the previous book and more, along with a great chance to grab Volume 1.

Last year, this was my favorite part of Gen Con and this year it got bigger and better in every way, transforming what was a black box production to a massive piece of theater. I don't know how or when it's going to happen, but we'll do our best to put together some documentation on how to run this.
