For each like I'll tell you something I've never shared about how Asher's Ridge came to be :)

(If you want to know about my design process, this'll be it!)

Montford Tales: Asher's Ridge LIVE on Kickstarter @montfordtales.com · Sep 2

Now LIVE on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

Asher's Ridge is a GM-less, zero-prep #TTRPG for one to four players, inspired by Twin Peaks, The X-Files, and Stranger Things.

Connect threads of letter tiles and experience the unexplainable in the (dark?) heart of the Lake District.

A copy of Asher's Ridge sits among photos and a map. Letter tiles spell out "Back it now on Kickstarter"

I'm a day late to #RPGaDay2025 but LET'S FRICKIN GO.

Day 1: Patron

I've had an AMAZING time playing @bananachangames.bsky.social's solo games Forgery and Knockoff. You play as a young creative seduced by the power of a demonic artistic patron. The specificity and detail of these stories hit HARD

Conventional wisdom says you shouldn't launch a crowdfunder opposite Gencon.

I had in fact completely forgotten that Gencon was happening.

Oops.
