Looks like Black Rock Mesa is going to need more magic than I was planning since my junior play testers both made casters.

Unstable Unicorns was our visual stand in for the Mesa. #dadlife

In Black Rock Mesa PCs, and solo characters, will make rolls when they act. GMs will draw cards to reveal the risk. More actions, more cards are drawn, more risk until it becomes perilous. Final rolls are made to resolve the scene. Shuffle, and begin again.

Cover art's not easy to come by sans commissioning custom work, but we found this fabulous cover-ready royalty-free piece by Eric Pommer (mindplaces.com).

As @jeremyforbing.bsky.social it's literally got torchlight as the focus of the composition. How could we go with anything else?!

Yesterday became a family day and I missed our promo placard. Works out well. It was about me and my biggest solo-ish contribution to Torchlite. I'm not great at self promo so moving on.

514 SFX is probably too many, but we littered them around in the relevant places to keep you from overload.

@jeremyforbing.bsky.social has been at the heart of this project. His guidance and experience has produced a better game. I just want to give a deep thanks to him. Find him over on DriveThruRPG for his other works.

New teaser placards coming daily for the next week. Beyond excited to get this out into the world.

Cozy version of Torchlite? We feel pretty confident that you can run it with cozy vibes right off the page. Miriam shared this page over in the Cortex fan server to support that.

Launching PWYW on itch.io in the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
