Sleep well in Archetype, where the Gods do not go...
Archetype is a stark, sprawling city of stained glass, greenhouses, and whispers. The roads are narrow and smooth, running in convoluted, curving patterns throughout and terminating in one of the Seven Bridges. It is surrounded by a great void that Gods cannot cross, even by the great bridges maintained by the Guild of Spiders, and within, Mage-oligarchs rule.
Another minimally designed, system-agnostic, weird fantasy setting zine for your favorite narrative game. A queer little piece of Empty Spaces art.
Original art by Just Oberoy. Additional writing by Wynnie Friesen, Natalie Pudim and Rose Bailey .
Part of the Along The Western Sea setting.
Archetype has always been at war with Jargon.

Recently read and enjoyed. The places and society described have an ominous, oppressive, silencing quality that, for me, was horrifying.
The sensuality of the people in this setting is overt, but channeled through social oppression and violence.
The writing itself is interesting and evocative, and the locations described are well defined but invite further exploration and play within them.
TL;DR: Good spooky horny book
