Like in a good dark folktale, you approached the secret pool in the dead of night (here in Italy at least!) and granted the wish we made together: the new English edition of Rusalka is real! One day in, and we have almost doubled our original goal. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

The hour of the Rusałka has come. Can you hear the spirits of drowned women moaning in the night? Can you see the trails of desperate mortals seeking the secret pool with a dangerous wish in their heart? They all need you. To recollect and retell their story. Will you head the call?

Being able to work on a cult classic like Rusałka is a privilege. Nick entrusted us with developing the new edition and Letty @toadlett.bsky.social was the ideal artist for this challenge: she's found the perfect balance between charm and horror to tell an eerie tale straight out of Slavic folklore.

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.

To celebrate launch, we've prepared a freebie for those who back in the first 48 hours: a Kapok Flower sticker, inspired by the great tree that watches over Soledad and by the vibrant colors of the amazing cover, designed by Laura "Soma" Ortiz. Will you be there to watch it bloom again?

It is now less than 48 hours to the launch of Soledad. Maria is drawing stickers to keep the anxiety at bay. You too can profit off her nerves: this design will be our Early Bird incentive for those who back the game between May 7 and May 9!

After Barbabianca, we're gearing up for another project: The Roots of Soledad, a magical realism #ttrpg by Matthijs Holter. As fans of Archipelago and Society of Dreamers as much as A Hundred Years of Solitude, it's a privilege for us to do our part in developing this game.

Pins are something weird we discovered we really enjoy making. Chiara is obsessed with them. Maria likes the design challenge of a limited palette. And they're a nice piece of campaign memorabilia. This one makes for a weird set with the Our Queen Crumbles design, just like the game boxes will.

Less than 24h left 'till #zimo2026 and the crowdfunding for Barbabianca begins! We have a token of appreciation ready for Early Bird backers: our exclusive Village Souvenir enamel pin, designed by Maria Guarneri, shipped free with all physical rewards pledged in the first 48 hours of the campaign.

We've got a new game coming for #zimo2026. It's a GMless storytelling #ttrpg designed for one-shots. It's also an exploration of themes of scandal and shame, of the rumours that poison communities, of life in 20th-century rural Italy. Come meet old Barbabianca. You remember him, right?

Happy Holidays, everyone! We got a chance to write a Triangle Agency Mission for the December issue of ioGioco magazine. Snowing 'Round the Globe is a 4-page festive Mission. It's a homage to cheesy Christmas romcoms and the longing for a picture-perfect Holiday.

To give everyone one last little thank-you, our next goal is to add a pamphlet game to the boxset: The Golems of Claypit, a 6+ player game about finding your identity among your fellow constructs.

Still 10 days left of the campaign for Our Queen Crumbles and we're running out of achievements! Everyone's support has been amazing and the game will be more art-filled than ever. Somber, whimsical, eerie portraits to give a face to your characters by @al-lukehart.bsky.social .

NessunDove @nessundovelab.bsky.social · 15/05/2025
The Hallowed Edition of Our Queen Crumbles just got four new Retainers portraits! Thanks to your support, we can raise the bar even higher for the next achievement. Not just a new set of Retainers, but some fancy gilded details for the physical edition.

🎉 IT'S DONE! @blooperly.bsky.social The Hallowed Edition of Our Queen Crumbles has reached its goal. 87 loyal Backers have helped us fund the art, writing, editing and production of the boxed set, complete with all 16 Retainers and an alternate map of brand-new Backdrops.

NessunDove @nessundovelab.bsky.social · 07/05/2025
Our Queen Crumbles is really close to funding! If you were considering it, just a little push will help us secure a print run. And everything after that is just an excuse to see more of @al-lukehart.bsky.social 's amazing character art.

NessunDove @nessundovelab.bsky.social · 29/04/2025
Crowdfunding games has officially become Chiara's excuse to demand new enamel pins. So Maria is toying with concepts for a homage to Our Queen Crumbles. And we are fighting about the color scheme, of course. Black Queen or White Queen?

Progress shots are a little bit awkward though

Now that we're wrapping up with Magus, we can begin thinking about a new project filled with magic and sorrow. Back in 2021, NessunDove handled the Italian edition of Our Queen Crumbles, a weird fantasy ttrpg by Jason Brown about revenge, inevitable death, and saying goodbye to those you love.

The Oracle looks really gorgeus if we say so ourselves.
