Tales Forlorn

This dark fantasy adventure collection explores love, grief, and supernatural despair. It introduces a Melancholia Die mechanic that measures a character’s sorrow, along with two magic items shaped by melancholic power. The content includes a 90-paragraph gamebook about pursuing a kidnapped love through sinister cults and deadly monsters, a levels 2–3 scenario involving a haunted cemetery and the ancestral flame of House Dragov, and a levels 5–7 scenario about saving a cursed ranger from lycanthropy. An ambient soundtrack accompanies the adventures.
