Show Notes

This week, Fiona is playing ‘Artefact’, a game of legendary items & transient heroes by Jack Harrison of MouseHole Press

In ‘Artefact’, the player crafts a unique magical item and plays to find out how it changes as it passes through the hands of many different keepers.

In many classic dungeon crawl games, we follow the lives of adventurers as they overcome challenges to gain prestige and, most importantly, magical treasures. But what were those treasures doing before the adventurers came along?

You can find out more information about ‘Artefact’, and more RPGs from MouseHole Press on itch.io.
