Happy #TabletopTuesday! Today, I invite you to take a look at our upcoming campaign. Rusałka is a tragic fairy tale roleplaying game about wishes gone wrong-- play as the spirits of drowned women, and the foolish mortals who seek them out. What memories will their pleas bring back to the surface?

The song of the Rusałka is ready to echo around the world. The Italian edition paved the way, and the international edition launches on BackerKit starting October 5! Nick Wedig's tragic fairytale RPG about wishes gone wrong will enthrall you with dark, dramatic, card-based play, with no prep or GM.

@nessundovelab.bsky.social sent me a copy of their English-language version of Nick Wedig's fantastic game Rusałka, which I have been a die-hard fan of since forever. It is just bananas - very beautiful, very menacing, 11/10. Can't wait to play again.

Components of Rusalka laid out, beautifully illustrated tarot card sized prompts with creepy art.

Big fan of this format for Barbabianca (sheaf of sturdy pages that can be passed around, collected in a cardboard wrapper) which was also used for Our Queen Crumbles, and would be perfect for Firebrands-style games with all the minigames.

Barbabianca, by @nessundovelab.bsky.social. Set in the deep Italian countryside, this is a tragedy in four acts. Create a village and flesh out the relationships that live within it - and determine the role of Barbabianca, a character placed at the centre of an old scandal.

A Triangle Agency megagame happened today at Play Bologna!!! They had people playing NPCs from the game's world, tracked the results of missions across all the tables, and sped to a final ending for their setting all in one big group. I wish I was there, I want to see it!!

Screenshot of a discord message. People in red ties overseeing several tables of Triangle Agency play. Chiara says: Multi-table game going on at Play Bologna 2026, run by The Agency (gaming association, name purely coincidental lol). The rules look extremely interesting but I'm only here visiting cause I'm running the sales booth lol. They're tracking Demerits, Commendation, Chaos and Loose-Ends across all tables to determine the overall ending. And have AgencyOS bots going around for players to speak to and hack.

ink sketches of a character in armour and a heavy fur cloak. she has a healmet shaped like a stylised boar's head, and holds a bardiche. a smaller sketch shows her doing a little hop to destroy something with her bardiche. the last sketch shows her partway through transformation into a boar. she is unclothed and several scars are visible, as well as her fat body with a significant amounto of body hair.

*Roots of Soledad* is a new GM-less roleplaying game by my friend @matthijs1000.bsky.social. Its innovative mechanics for reincorporation and structuring play solves the issues I’ve had with most GM-less systems. Spiritually related to *Itras by* and *Archipelago*. Highly recommended!
