Medieval Minigames, Marginalia and Manuscripts - Veritable Tales funding now!

My name is Pidj, and I have been crowdfunding zines annually since ZineQuest 3 in 2021. My latest, Veritable Tales of Folly in the Realm is crowdfunding now! It wells up out of a love for medieval illuminated manuscripts and a desire for a roleplaying game I could pull out after a dinner party or play casually with players dropping in and out. Plus it gave me a chance to work with the wonderful Tallulah Cunningham again (our last collaboration won an Australian Roleplaying Industry Award for its illustrations!)

In Veritable Tales you play various medieval roleplaying minigames then write in your 'illuminated manuscript'. Each minigame is one year in the history of your realm, and may detail events great or small. By making even a one-sentence note in a dedicated 'manuscript', the game can be paused or resumed - or even picked up and played by a completely new crowd of players!

Minigames range from 10 minutes to 1 hour, and cover a breadth of topics and player counts. Most games are dice-less, all are GM-less and some use a deck of playing cards, pen and paper or tokens. Some only use the players! No preparation or pre-reading is required. And each minigame is set into a beautiful Flemish, illuminated frame and accompanied by little marginalia!
