£4000! Incredible. Thank you so much for this support, we're incredibly excited to get this book made & into our backer's hands.

New stretch goals released, including posters, throwouts, and possible new content from @benrlmeredith.bsky.social - give it a gander, why not.

Cheers! It's definitely been a lot of fun to write and playtest.

It was certainly fun in playtests!

The inspectors also didn't know there was one tbh, you're all good. (thanks so much for posting the project!)

What curious object is that? Two days before launch, the tunnels glow.

The Venture Below Kickstarter arrives soon.

To be clear, I love Troika and wouldn't run this in anything else, but it's a loose and light game rather than one with specific investigation mechanics. But honestly, I don't think specific mechanical support for investigation is very common in TRPGs who don't make it their no.1 focus.

Troika doesn't have much to support investigation specifically (I don't think?) - or at least, my players had no relevant skills or spells to use for it. It DID provide the chaos and weirdness that laid the backdrop to make the game feel both real and surreal, though. The great art helped too!

It was more of a two shot, but then I had players receive a mission, travel there, etc, and ran it sort of loose. But yeah, that includes players skipping a large part of the mystery out by becoming obsessed with where they might find a tooth, utterly misinterpreting a core clue to incredible effect

So I left a party who had already started elsewhere on to it, so it was stock Troika backgrounds for most of it. One of the PCs died and was replaced with a Macrame Owl though, which was a lot of fun - the backgrounds in Slow Sleigh helped inspire ours in The Venture Below a little bit actually.

I'm really beginning to feel like there should be more rules saying dogs can't do things

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works and let me know if you have any questions! 🤗

Thoroughly enjoyed running Slow Sleigh, even if my players did randomly hone in on the killer incredibly fast and without any actual evidence.

Saturday is nearly here, and the sun smiles upon you, friend.

Just don't make eye contact.

3 days to go!

Why is a memecoin commenting on TRPG posts

I'd be all over the Liquid Steel playtest if I was London based! Alas, another time perhaps.

First pint's on the house - try the fruit machine!

Will you meet an Inspector during your Unofficial Inspection?

Maybe. They’ll look official. They won’t be much help.

The Venture Below Kickstarter goes live in one week. Prepare yourself.

Helo Dr Hewitt, how remove dice to brain? Thank.

Many thanks. I'll let you know how I get on.

Hello Mr Howitt how many will fit up my nose please

The vampire bat flutters through the tunnels.

Ten days to go. He is counting. You are nervous.

Hey! The Venture Below is an adventure for the TRPG system Troika - Kickstarter goes live November 1st.

It's built around reinterpreting a failed metro system as a dungeon of sorts. It's a bit like a psychedelic London commute gone wrong.

It's our first project, so any attention is appreciated :)
