In the Mail: BROKEN TALES.

It’s Kickstarter Fulfillment Week here at Chez Lane, apparently.

BROKEN TALES is an Italian horror-fantasy RPG set in an alternate 19th century Europe. The hook: fairy tales are now real, and their heroes and villains have been brought to life. The twist, literally: everybody got incarnated as a mirror version of themselves. You play former fairy tale villains who are now looking to atone for their past evil deeds, often by stopping former heroes who are now pursuing evil deeds of their own…

I’m probably never going to play this, but the artwork is amazing.

The premise of BROKEN TALES is you’re playing a former villain of a classic fairy tale, made good by a young boy’s wish. And do we know what happens when you wish, in a fairy tale? Yup: everything promptly goes to Hell. Guess what happened to all the heroes of the fairy tales?

Anyway, BROKEN TALES looks fun, and I checked with the publisher: they’re working under the expectation that it’ll be ethically sourced (i.e., not printed by the PRC). I have having to ask about this stuff, but what are you gonna do? It’s never going to get any better if we don’t make it clear that some costs can’t be honorably cut.
