Publishers blurb:
IT WAS A FORTNIGHT AGO that the creature descended upon you in the dark. The searing pain in your neck, a slumber deeper than you've ever known, and then the violent hunger. You've become a creature you once thought only existed in fables and nightmares: a vampire. You soon discover you are not alone in your damnation. You manage to acquire the location of a fellow vampire and begin to write to them.
The world around you changes with the centuries, but delivery of the written word stays comfortably the same. So you write and share with your companion tales of your cursed existence along the unlit path.
HOW TO PLAY
Designed specifically to be played through the mail, The Unlit Path has two players using regular playing cards as prompts as they write and send correspondences as vampires wandering the world and watching the centuries sail by.
With each letter you send, you'll enclose a playing card to inspire your partner's reply. No GM needed.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
Download includes a two-sided 8 1/2x11 trifold guide to play the game. Both you and your partner will need a copy of the rules (no need to purchase twice, just send the pdf to the other player), a six-sided die, a deck of regular playing cards, paper, postage, and envelopes.
MISC.
For a single player solo variant, simply create the deck as instructed, follow directions for the opening entries and play as though keeping a journal as your character. Add in additional cards for longer games if desired.
