Between Stranger Shores
A downloadable TTRPG anthology
Between Stranger Shores is a collection of 2+2 tiny games/places/rules about death and resurrection with inspiration from Death Stranding and Greek mythology. The stories they tell and mechanics they provide are fit for any tabletop game. Just slot them in where you like, roll some 10-sided dice and play!
This collection includes:
- Buried Lakes: A pit stop for things forgotten. Search its waters for faded memories and lost secrets.
- Stranded: Instructions on how to return your characters from death. For a price.
- BONUS - Emmets Cove: A place between life and death. The longer you stay, the more you forget.
- BONUS - Fishlines: Cast your worries away in the water and watch what it reels in. (You'll need a needle, string and a few cups of water to play).
This collection comes in Bridge card size (2.25” × 3.5"). They are available in both PDF and PNG formats. You may print one game each on the front and back. Or print individual game cards with the included back covers.
Content warning: Conveys imagery of death, drowning and deep water.
Between Stranger Shores was originally created for Tiny Library Mosaic game jam by Long Tail Games based on the 'Modern Fantasy' genre. Emmets Cove is excluded from the final submission. Thanks for hosting!
Fishlines was added to Between Stranger Shores for Jellyfishlines Birthday TTRPG Jam by Jellyfishlines. Thanks for hosting and Happy Birthday!
