A Route Like Water
The island was farther away than it looked, but you managed the swim nonetheless. You doubt anybody saw you, but you cannot be certain. Eyes are everywhere, even when – especially when – you cannot feel them. It's as true during times of pursuit as it is during times of flight and hiding.

Still, an hour's rest in the sun and sand have restored your strength and confidence – and with them, your curiosity. The island begs for exploration. What secrets does it hold?

"A Route Like Water" is an adventure-flavored module for Diedream, a unique solo RPG system by Alfred Valley that can be played entirely in your head. Be sure to download Diedream and familiarize yourself with the rules in order to use this module.

NOTE: "A Route Like Water" is an independent production by Lex Joy/Aeneas Nin Games adapted from Diedream and is not affiliated with Alfred Valley. Diedream is copyright Alfred Valley.

Your download includes:

  • A 2-page PDF designed for printing on a single double-sided 8x11 sheet.
