What it is about
A Lenda da Fonte is a Portuguese fado song that tells the legend of a sacred fountain that dried up when a young lady who used to visit it every day (to make up with her lover) passed away but... what if that's not the whole story? What if, the reason why the fountain dried up, is because the girl was actually a water nymph? This song inspired this whole game. New Tales of Old is a light-hearted micro solo journaling TTRPG about rewriting old tales but with a new twist to them. What if there's more to this story you've been told so many times before? Or what if that's not quite how things happened? Play to find out! Endless possibilities: While this game was initially designed with folklore legends in mind, it can be used to rewrite any story, really. For example, children might want to rewrite the story of their favorite book, videogame, or Disney movie. I'm not stopping you from doing it, so just be creative and have fun. ___________________________________________________________________ Content Warning : The text contains some brief allusions to religion (specifically, to miracles, praying, and the existence of a church), in passing. ___________________________________________________________________ Page Credits Game-icons , for the favicon WhimsicalArtGraphics , for the banner/thumbnail clipart Font used : Old Alfie Human-Made icon : HINOKODO AI-Free icon : Lone Archivist _______________________________________________________________ ~ Sales: 22 / Community Copies provided: 22 ~
