Description
Magic is waning. The last of the sun’s shards illuminate only a small valley of the world, while the remainder is bathed in perpetual Wildernight.
Roots of the elusive Midnight Muscadines grow deep into the earth, concentrating the last tendrils of magic into its grapes. Find, collect, and preserve these grapes into highly coveted jams, sustaining the world’s magic.
Are you curious about playing a dragon game campaign but your game group is limited to just you or maybe your partner/BFF? Do you like the idea of OSR gameplay, but the grimdark aesthetic bums you out? Maybe you love the fantasy found-family gameplay popularized by 5E, but are looking for a (non-hasbro) game that has soul and unique flavor and doesn’t have the aesthetics of a mobile game ad? If any of these apply to you, Midnight Muscadines might be your jam.
Midnight Muscadines is a solo+ surreal fantasy RPG. It offers a rich and detailed world that is cozy with a hint of psychedelia and spookiness. Explore the land of Nimm as a Marmateer, a magical protector-astisan-adventurer, and traverse a twilight-twinged land full of magical jam, mothfolk wizards, capybara pachyderms, and other such marvelous oddities.
Midnight Muscadines blends three gameplay ingredients into one delicious jam: the epic campaigns and band-of-ragtag-adventurers tone of dragon game 5E, the retro crunch of OSR gaming, and the cimprovisational spirit of solo and GM-less games. This is an unusual flavor profile; these elements are rarely used in combination. But in the hands of the chefs at Pandion Games, the result is sweet, familiar, but also a little funky, with an earthy quality to it.
Most notably, Midnight Muscadines is extremely flexible. It is rare, or at least very new, to have a full adventure game that is designed to scale from solo players, to duet or GM-less play, and still allow for traditional GM’ed play. It is just a delight that it also includes a charming and unique setting and is presented in a beautiful, sunset-toned, landscape orientation book.
Midnight Muscadines is a treat, a truly unique game crafted with care.
And don’t forget to check out the narrative oracle deck designed to go with MM! A very handy addition in any Marmeteer’s adventurer’s toolkit.
