The Lantern Boat

In this cozy, fantasy tabletop game, you and your friends are the crew of The Luminous Drift, a magical boat floating down the enchanted River of Souls. Your job? Deliver lanterns filled with messages of love, memories, and closure to those who need them—whether they’re living or departed.

This game is all about exploring connections, healing past wounds, and reflecting on the passage of time as you uncover the stories behind each lantern.

Join the crew of The Luminous Drift as you sail down a tranquil river that bridges the worlds of the living and the dead. Each lantern carries a heartfelt message, and it’s up to you to deliver it. Along the way, you’ll meet fascinating characters, solve a few mysteries, and maybe even find closure for yourselves. Ready to set sail?

AUTHOR NOTE

This project is to reveal a ruleset I've been working on for narrative experience. This ruleset allowed for free-form stats where you create stats as you play and keep it throughout the campaign.

I've always wanted a more simplified rules for full narrative experience. This particular ruleset is originally inspired by Risus. After reviewing more TTRPG as I build this ruleset, it does resemble FATE in some aspect, but this wasn't intentional at that moment. 

Nevertheless, I wanted to use this to play with my kids, for one-shot campaign, as they weren't really keen of long campaign. Kinda like reading story.

Currently free for Playtesting.
