Sleepless RPG: Beyond sanity

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). Development is complete, fulfillment ongoing, here's the link to the KS, where I continue to post updates:

Sleepless does have an open license, it is copied at the end of each book, enquire with me for any questions.
