Zoa Tan

The phrase "Zoa Tan" came to me in a dream and its dreamy fullness just belongs to my queer little girl's game. With it, I have a working image for the game's cover and copy. This isn't meant to be true final copy, just the first flash of what I am after with this game.

Join the Good Folk called from their dreams to the Headless King's service. Ride one of his noble mounts beyond the city walls and preserve the sacred compacts of the great forest Zoa Tan. Travel from valley to valley, forging and reforging alliances between the wood folk. Discover wonders nestled within its roots and boughs, set right the balance broken by the poisoners ascendant within the cities. Let your journeys change you and perhaps you will one day join the Woodwise.

Zoa Tan is a Cairn-based cooperative role playing game featuring courageous and cautious characters engaged in exploration, negotiation, and conflict punctuated by moments of wonder and discovery, truce and defeat, intimacy and transformation.
