Beton Brut
Béton Brut is a solo role-playing game, guided by a story and stimulated by a series of ideas extracted from a Tarot deck.
Its explanation might seem easy, but there's more below the surface.
It is a story of solitude, with a bitter ending that also dirties the hands of those who play it.
The Zine "Béton Brut" has a story at its beating heart, the reading of which will show you the context and the "Brutalist" experience of the character and his life.
All you need is a piece of paper, even if dirty or torn, it doesn't matter.
It just needs to be common. As common as possible.
Beton Brut is an intense, emotional and intimate RPG, with a bitter taste and strong tones, which can be played in a single evening, in about 2 hours.

GenoFunk
GenoFunk is a dying Heroes RPG in a world touched by the apocalypse.
But we will not put the Press Kit here that can be found around with (I hope) ease.
In a few (very few) words.
You play sick people who are dying in a world without electricity and therefore cannot produce the medicines necessary for their salvation.
In the midst of this desperation a figure appears (called Mr. Wonder) who gives them hope and in a parallel (almost fairytale-like) with the "Wizard of OZ" the characters set off on an adventure.
As the disease makes them weaker, the PLAYERS will instead gain narrative power and will be able to change the story or the fate of a character (or more than one)
And, since it is a work that we wrote, we can tell you the DEFECTS of the work.
It is completely Indie, so excluding the work of Chiara Locatelli (Professional Translator) the rest is our own. We did our best.
A couple of pages have a lower resolution than they should and it is noticeable (a little, but not too much).
The font used in the text makes it a little heavy to read.
It is hard, it deals with loss, old age and death.
For the rest, we are happy and we like it. You make up your own mind 🙂

Adapted from Howard P. Lovecraft's short novels
LUCCA COMICS AND GAMES AWARD WINNER
A literary adventure in 3 books where you can face firsthand the horrors told by H. P. Lovecraft among the most famous classic stories of The Cthulhu Mythos: Dagon, The Festival and The Hound (you'll also find a Dreamlands' section, with some striking extracts from The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath).
The stories were adapted with the utmost fidelity to the original text, in order to allow you an interactive immersion in the style of the Master of the Supernatural, by using a narration with paths, where, armed with a die and a pencil, you will travel through the streets of Kingsport facing monstrous creatures, exploring nightmarish territories and crossing the border that divides dream from reality. Will you be able to prevent the Yule ritual from taking place, saving humanity from a gruesome fate, or will you just go crazy?
