The Silver Road – Version 2

Description

The Silver Road – A Story Telling Game by Jon Hodgson

The Silver Road is an experimental, minimalist story-telling game for 3 to 5 players, written by Jon Hodgson. Jon’s other writing credits include The One Ring, Adventures in Middle-earth, BEOWULF Age of Heroes, and The Terminator RPG.

The square, softcover book is 28 pages long, and each page features a beautiful double page spread image created with sets, models both physical and digital by Jon Hodgson and Paul Bourne. The current version of the book, Version 2, exclusively makes use of models and sets and handmade digital artwork for its illustrations. It is a unique and beautiful book.

To play you’ll need this book, one six-sided dice each and pencil and paper. The Silver Road is an unashamedly minimalist story telling roleplaying game with a simple core mechanic applied any time there’s uncertainty about what happens next.

You’ll bring your own setting, although an example scenario and two sets of example characters are included.

Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland

The Silver Road mechanics also drive the innovative storytelling RPG, Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland. Maskwitches is a game of Neolithic witches protecting their hunter-gatherer community in the now vanished Doggerland.

Maskwitches of Forgotten Doggerland is available here.
