Fate deals hands both foul and fair.
The Game for Scribes is a fantasy solo journalling RPG that puts you in the twin positions of Chronicler of the history of a (hopefully) growing region, and the Leaders of that same land. Armed with your pens, inks, books, and trusty tarot deck, the game sets your wits against fate in a storytelling adventure, where success and failure are on your terms, but hang in the balance.
For The Game for Scribes, we’ve partnered with DriveThruRPG to produce and distribute copies worldwide. The Game is available to you in a variety of formats, including a premium hardcover full-colour edition, an economical paperback edition, and as a DRM-Free digital download. All editions of the game are covered under a special open gaming license allowing anyone to make addons and expansions for the game.
While the game itself is fully-self-contained in its ruleset, our play-testing team found a few common things that were useful to track outside of the “main” journal that the game produces. For that reason, we made some simple tracker templates available for download for you.

Available for the first time in a compiled volume, this book contains core rules and over 70 constructable amenities for your ruler, along with never-before-released rules for optional competitive multiplayer sessions, and use as a tool for Storytellers in more traditional Tabletop RPGs.
In a previous post, I was pretty clear that new projects and new subject areas were coming to Arcana Labs. While part of that is going to be a bit of an overhaul to the site to support it and make it more portfolio than business, I do have one small announcement I wanted to make before I dig into that heavy lift.
This project is not normally available without upfront cost. However, in keeping with our commitment to FOSS/OSHW principals, we want to lower the financial barriers for entry where appropriate. If you want to get involved in this project but find the cost of the materials unduly burdensome, please contact us.
