Lonely TTRPG EP 45 - Queenless by Croaker RPGs
Our Queen is dead! Such sorrow and despair! Without our Queen, our hive, our home, will slowly perish. Our only hope, our only slim hope, is to find, beg, borrow and steal enough Royal Jelly from our neighbours. If we have enough Royal Jelly, maybe, just maybe, we can raise another Queen.In Queenless you’ll explore the valley, meeting other insects along the way. Your aim is to recover six jars of royal jelly, which your hive will use to raise another Queen. Some insects are friends, such as the Ants who share much in common with the Bees. But some are deadly foes, like the Praying Mantis, who would like nothing more than to eat you up little Bee.Queenless is built as a solo game from the start with tables, exploration, and other mechanics that will keep you interested and challenge your little bee as it explores the valley on its quest. The core mechanic is based on Firelights, where you use a deck of standard playing cards and dice to determine success, partial success, or failure. You flip two cards and compare them to a dice roll+stats. Easy to figure out and resolve.Thoughts: This is a lovely map builder with strong whimsical elements. Definitely worth a look.You can find Queenless at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/435808/Queenless?term=queenless.php?affiliate_id=3362048or https://croakerrpgs.itch.io/queenless?ac=pEV55vHqdvG Find our merch at https://my-store-d24802.creator-spring.com/Find our games here at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/20990/Black-Dragon-Dungeon-Company.php?affiliate_id=3362048BDDC logo by https://www.instagram.com/craftyteapotfox/You can find us on Twitter @bddc_pod or Tumblr @bddc-podYou can support us on Patreon https://patreon.com/blackdragondungeoncompany for early releases and exclusive content.This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacyChartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
