Sleepless RPG: Beyond sanity
A downloadable game
Sleepless is an original table-top role-playing game (TTRPG) made by me, Jean Bhérer-Simard, in zine format, stapled A5 and it is punk and DIY in spirit. It pays homage to dark, cynical, humorous, hopeful and oneiric (dream-like) movies and RPGs of the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.
I ran a successful KickStarter campaign in August 2022 during Zine Quest 4 (thanks everyone). It is in development, here is the link to the KS, where I continue to post updates:
