Cover of Grecka, the role-playing game by Lysiah Maro

For Lysiah Maro, everything started with the characters: a mismatched band before any world had welcomed them.

A band before a world

The world came afterwards, with its blue-tinted beaches, its ruins and its silences, and the certainty that it had to be played with others.

Every table is different. What works one evening with close friends will not necessarily work with players who are just meeting: that is why we test a lot before publishing.

Feedback from players shapes our books. If you have tried one of our games, tell us what worked and what did not.

Taking the time to set the scene, name the characters and let everyone settle into the tone of the game avoids many misunderstandings later on.
