The Lovecraftian Thing a Day (2018) No.261: Quill - Shadow and Ink


Quill: Shadow and Ink promises a’cosmic horror campaign’ to fit the original Quill: a solitaire rpg of letter writing. Whilst I’m not sure that Quill: Shadow and Ink can quite live up to this claim, it adds a nice Lovecraftian dimension to an already engaging and experimental ruleset, and probably could be combined with De Profundis - the other Lovecraftian letter-writing rpg out there - quite effectively. Whilst this style of narrative, solitary play may not suit all gamers, it presents an interesting premise nonetheless, insofar as the Quill engine nicely replicates the epistolary character of some of Lovecaft’s key tales.
