GAME: The Underground Railroad Expansion
Brian Mayer, designer of the Award Winning Freedom: The Underground Railroad is working on an expansion that will be coming to Kickstarter next year and is looking for playtesters to help refine elements.
In addition to New Roles and Location Goals, the expansion will be introducing Story Capsules based on the stories captured by William Still; tales of courageous men and women who risked everything to seek freedom and help end the institution of slavery. During the course of play, Narrative Cards introduce parts of one or more Freedom Seeker’s stories that play out over the course of the three eras of the game. These cards provide a small glimpse into the bravery, and risks undertaken, by those individuals being held against their will, and their journeys to find freedom from oppression and abuse.

GAME: Enclave: A Tableless Roleplaying Game
An entirely diceless TTRPG where storytelling determines success. Learnable in 10 minutes but extremely difficult to master, Enclave is fast-paced and intuitive while retaining high stakes. Played primarily in one-shots, great for pickup games, with robust character progression and long-form play also available. Copies of the game will be available for purchase.
Sour Llama Studios is the Indie studio behind the game Tower Enforcer.
