Walking Near Lanterns
A downloadable festive pointcrawl
Walking Near Lanterns
is an explorative pointcrawl built on moments of nostalgia, intimacy and wonderment from childhood festivals and holidays. It's a game about remembering the warm summer air, the cries of children laughing and buzzing lights. To play it, all you need are some six-sided dice and writing tools.
Walking Near Lanterns comes in three A5 pages, featuring:
- Rules-lite dice-driven pointcrawl generation with easy-to-understand rules.
- Over 40 unique festival prompts and encounters to inspire and create. Join a wrestling match, talk to strange fortune tellers, enter a haiku battle and more!
- Fast worldbuilding questions to let you and your players flesh out the world around the festival.
Roll some dice, go to the festival and enjoy what memories await!
Walking Near Lanterns is compatible with Wanderhome as a supplement and is based on Haeth, the game's primary setting.

I am new to TTRPG so I have some questions:
I get frustrated because it seems this information is not included on a lot of game page descriptions on itch.io. Maybe it’s obvious to people who are already into TTRPGs, but not to me as a noob!
Hi!
Thank you for these questions. They really gave me some things to think about. And I'll update the game's description to fit. Might also add a page about solo mode if I have the time.
I also added 10 more Community Copies + 8 from recent purchases. You can grab a copy if that helps!
This supplement is pretty incredible! You can drop it into many different games and settings, and its mechanics and prompts are both minimal and evocative.
Thank you for the comment!
