This month in the Bookwyrms TTRPG Reading Club, we're discussing the upcoming RPG Hollows from Rowan, Rook, and Decard.

Loving the look of the tactical combat system. It's the Bloodbourne game I didn't know I needed.

A haunted-looking man all in black sits alone, staring at the viewer. The picture is in black and white, but in the man's hands is displayed the bright yellow cover of MÖRK KÖPHETS: A Dead Mall Dungeon Crawl zine.

Dead malls can be off-putting. What comes to fill the empty spaces people leave behind? What if people’s desires still linger in that space?

There’s something haunting about abandoned malls… Real liminal spaces that should be full of life…but are not. Not anymore. I find them fascinating.
