I am Nik Butler

Colostle A solo rpg adventure from Nich Angell is a RPG experience that encourages story telling through a solitary card deck. The world exists as a fantasy clockpunk wide open narrative where the inhabitants live within a castle large enough to encompass continents, mountain ranges, seas, lakes and mysterious forests. It is a original world with its own sense of internal rules defining how the player interacts. Rooks , living , mobile , castle turrets which range from the size of small dogs to elephants and Giants roam the world as a background to a collective of species mostly human. I was pulled into the system by way of the art which reflects a childhood fascination with adventure but eschews the usual tropes of lithe elves and buff warriors. In my exploration of a few days in journaling the experiences of my own game I found myself enjoying the narrative prompts assembled by simpler table systems. For those comfortable in the day dream and the flights of fantasy scribbling I cannot recommend enough that you spend a few days in the company of Colostle, the sheer whimsy of a world vast and enclosed in which the narrative prompts, the lookups and tables, are simpler to navigate.
