I’ve been lucky enough to play this game a few times and, honestly, it’s so much fun. Highly recommended.
Goblyn Market is launched on kickstarter! Half beast, half fiend. All chaos.
A weird little rules light storytelling rpg with lots of dice rolling for maximum havoc.
Great for one-shots and conventions. Now with blocks of text as I weed out all AI art assets!
