What it is about
Hidden deep in Whitebark Forest, a grove of bone-white birches surrounds the Moon Pool. Kept a secret by the Elves for centuries. But you know of it. You dream of its still water reflecting the cold moon of distant lands, rich with treasure. A portal. The Moon Pool is a minimal solo fantasy game. Originally conceived to fit a cassette booklet, you will find rules for play, 3 character classes, unique locations and events as well as weather and moon phase tables on 10 tiny A7 pages. All you need to play are writing utensils, a six-sided die and a standard 52 card poker deck. For convenience, you might print the character sheet of your chosen class. The setting of Moon Pool is the Mountain Realm , conceived by Simon Heath for his dungeon synth label Cryo Crypt . I am not affiliated with Cryo Crypt in any way, and this is not an official product.
