The Singing Sands
A downloadable Solo RPG
A flash of colour and the crackle of lightning are the last things you remember before dust clouded your vision. You clamber to your feet and survey your surroundings. Sand as far as you can see, and an eerie song on the wind. Wherever you came from doesn't matter now. All that matters if you're here, you are low on supplies and the air is getting hotter as the minutes pass. It's time to move.
The Singing Sands is a rules-lite RPG for solo play and worldbuilding. It contains all the rules for a single player to enter the desert and begin their journey alongside oracle tables to help set the scene around you.
To play you will keep a journal of your encounters, building the world from the eyes of your character. Your character skills and keywords will influence the Dice Pool which is used to check the success of failure of your actions.
Use the blank Hex map to track your journey and build your own desert or use the prebuilt map for the Mirrored Tower adventure.
Upon purchasing you will gain access to the rules pdf in both colour and black & white, spread layouts for screen reading and a blank hex map & character sheet for printing.

I highly recommend the physical copy - high quality zine and easy-to-read layout. Besides being a wonderful adventure framework!
