I am so excited to announce my next game!
World Ending Game is a tabletop game written to serve as the last session of a campaign in any system.
Borrowing from conventions of cinema, World Ending Game tells falling action stories. It explores what comes right after the climactic event in your story- and what you need to see to believe that it's all, finally, over.
World Ending Game is about closure, grief, joy, relief, and getting to say a proper goodbye.

World Ending Game includes an overarching conversational ruleset, and then 20 small games which compound into a session of play.
Every one of these games has an original illustration, each from a different artist, and a page layout (by Andy Pressman) to respond to that artwork. And when I tell you that this artist list is INCREDIBLE-
@abundance wtf this is amazing, eschatology as mechanic?!?
@abundance This looks so great! I'll pre-order for sure and I hope that we'll be able to use it for the end of Crudely Drawn Swords, which should be coming up later this year. It sounds like the ideal way to wind up a big story like this...
@abundance Everyone is going to love this. I can feel it.
How are you doing playtests these days? Online?
@dualhammers i'm having playtesters record their sessions, yeah!
Instead of a kickstarter or whatever I'm doing simple presales through itch to fund the end-of-summer print run. So if you know you want a copy, it'd mean the world to me if you'd consider picking it up in advance. It really is one of the most ambitious things I've ever worked on and I think it is going to be something special, I cannot wait for it to be in the world.
