The tale of Barbabianca is made up of rumours, words getting around without quite knowing who spoke them, and seeing the word-of-mouth that keeps bringing a few new faces in every day is heartwarming. Thanks for this, too: every time you share a link, message someone about the game, or just mention it in passing helps brings this little homemade game a little further.

As things have been less frantic, we've had time to put together a little playlist with all of the songs that inspired Barbabianca's village notables. You'll find the lyrics quoted in the Role sheets, translated so you get the gist. But there's something about hearing a song in its original language that you can't quite replace, so give it a spin: Luigi Tenco, Francesco De Gregori and Fabrizio De André are some of the best songwriters in Italian music, and the atmospheres they conjure in their music are a prime source of the memories we associate with this game.

And to keep with the musical theme, we want to shout out another Zinetopia project by our dear friend Côme Martin. 

THREE PUNK GAMES is a collection of 3 small TTRPGs, each dealing with the theme of punk in its one way. Each is presented and being played differently:

We've translated some of Côme's work into Italian, and his minimalist styles is a source of endless fascination. Give these a listen, it'll be worth it.
