Description
-
Just escape the woods by morning...
You are taking an evening stroll through a forest near your home. Despite spending countless hours in the local woods, walking the trails, enjoying nature, on this night you have somehow been turned around, and find yourself lost. You have walked these paths countless times, and by all measures they are considered quite safe.
How could such a thing happen? Unless it was meant to happen. Unless it's all just a dream. Unless it's the Last Dream.
All you need to do is finish your walk and go home, just like every other night.
But not like any other night.
Use the Swish! - Damn! - WTF?! game system to navigate a confusing, surreal adventure where you journal the story of how you escaped the supernatural forces trying to keep you lost in the forest, or sadly if Baba Yaga was able to trap you in her domain of dreams...
You will be rolling to determine which activities you attempt to accomplish each hour, and then to determine its success. Regardless the outcome, you will journal about your character's activities for that hour of time.
Will you escape? Will you encounter mythological creatures such as the Nocnitsa, Upir, Drekavac, Gamayun, Dziwozona, Leshy, Aspid, or even Baba Yaga herself?
Includes 26 full color pages as well as plain text version for printing and accessibility.
