Hi everyone! It’s time for a Fun FactTM: The Dark Carnival is known to travel from kingdom to kingdom, spreading malice and magnificence wherever it ends up. But did you know that it has the power to cross planes and dimensions? In fact, it may end up in a city near you…

In what is *technically* an international tour, Storytellers Forge is bringing Festival of the Forgotten, The Black Ballad and other books, games, and accoutrement, to some conventions this summer! 

If you happen to be at any of the events below, stop by, say hello, play a session, or buy something to help make the cost of the booth worthwhile!

This traveling circus actually began its journey earlier this month, where we brought our charming selves to Anime Central in Chicago, and MoMoCon in Atlanta. We had a blast running games and meeting folks in the community. If you missed it or want a taste of what you can expect at our upcoming appearances, our team took some pictures at Anime Central:

Our convention partners, Maid to Be, pictured at Anime Central above, will also be at Weebcon & Matsuricon with us! So please, check them out and spread the word!

There’s still two weeks to go before this campaign wraps up, and so far we’ve funded a soundtrack, tea, and fragrance to help bring the immersion to levels you hadn’t even thought of. The stretch goals are still a ways off, but anything can happen! 

Thanks for all the support so far, and we hope to see you sometime on the INTERNATIONAL tour!

If you haven't checked out or grabbed exclusives yet for the Dark Carnival, you can do so on Gamefound for the final push, or simply pre-order a book here! In 15 days when that closes, custom items get turned off for good. For current backers...I did drop some more art in the Backers Only section for ya!

So, turns out Steve Jackson Games is a pretty awesome company…and Two years ago, a dusty box was uncovered in the Deep Archives at Steve Jackson Games. On it, a note: “TO PUBLISH. WE PROMISED.” Inside, we found a stack of games, all annotated in the same careful script and accompanied by a mysterious letter from someone named Dahlia . . .

After a lengthy search, we managed to track down the creators of the games within – turning up frustratingly little on Dahlia in the process – and now we’re making good on our word to bring you Dahlia’s Diversions for Peculiar Parties.

In the set, you will find eight games in various formats: one-page RPGs, trifold brochures, stapled booklets, and even a folded map . . . all from different indie designers. This is as close of a replica as we could manage – down to Dahlia’s handwritten advice, clarifications, and occasional jokes tucked away in the margins.

This set is perfect for a new host hoping to run their first game – or for a more experienced group looking for something different. 

RSVP now, and be the first to find out what’s on the table at one of Dahlia’s legendary roleplaying salons.
