Folklore: The Affliction rpg-ish gothic boardgame

Post by lazybones »

I don't often return to the Cafe, but I ran across a Kickstarter that strongly reminded me of Ravenloft (5 days left). It's a boardgame with strong narrative/RPG atmospere called Folklore: The Affliction. It's loaded with gothic horror miniatures--the translucent ghost versions of the hero characters is a nice touch. Here's two links for those who are interested:

Those minis are gorgeous. The game might be worth buying for them alone.

Und führ ihn, kannst du ihn erfassen
Auf deinem Wege mit herab.

Yeah, those minis are absolutely awesome.

The name of the game, though... yuck. "Help! I'm afflicted with... FOLKLORE!" :)

Missed the kickstarter, but maybe I'll pick it up eventually.
