I Read Fatherfog

I Read Games reviews are me reading games when I have nothing better to do, like read a module or write or play a game. I don’t seriously believe that I can judge a game without playing it, usually a lot, so I don’t take these very seriously. But I can talk about its choices and whether or not it gets me excited about bringing it to the table. I’m feeling a little overwhelmed after going shopping for work outfits, so rather than go home, I’m going to sit in my favourite cafe, eat a hash brown sandwich, and read Fatherfog. Fatherfog is a 64 page roleplaying game by Alan Gerding, and it’s the first new roleplaying game from Tuesday Knight Games since Mothership in 2018. Like Mothership, it’s styled as 0E. In it, you’re trying to survive in a world where the fairytales you know and love exist in their original, horrifying forms, while you try to recover the dying resource “hope” for your village, the only place of safety you’ve ever known.
