October Rust
October Rust is a game set in the early modern setting of 16th century England. Players play protagonists who stand at bay against an ungrateful world to make one final victory, and each session lasts around three hours with five questions answered by answering prompts provided before- hand (Adventure List). Once all players have resolved their common Final Question together through roleplay or competition, the game ends in a single round. There are two versions of October Rust available - an 18x24 color cover edition for 2 to 4 players and optional adventure list PDFs included; on top of this there's also 25 pages worth of full-color content that includes multiple character sheets from 5 different options: one designed specifically at the table, another based off a Google Sheet created by GM Mark Ransom (linked above), as well between two more versions.
