FOR THE QUEEN – A first look at a GORGEOUS story telling game...
21You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but what if it's a game shaped like a book? With a magnetic close?
For the Queen is a storytelling game from Darrington Press. In the video, I give you my first impressions of it. Since then, I think I might have been a little harsh – RPGs don't need bosses to build a good time, and this is perhaps more of a prompted RPG than a game. It's an interesting distinction.
