Description

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!
