Welcome to Sisyphean Tales.
This blog is dedicated to helping members of the Tabletop Roleplaying Game community discover new games, systems, and themes to explore for their own entertainment.
Many enthusiasts in the community swear by a particular game (Dungeons & Dragons, Vampire the Masquerade, Pathfinder, etc). Those games are absolutely amazing fun to play. I hold the belief that indie titles can enrich the experience at the table just like their highly marketed more expensive cousins.
My goal is to highlight these little gems, the bigger games, provide anecdotes and, if requested, advice I hope those who stumble across this blog find something that improves their understanding of a game you’re unfamiliar with and are introduced to something that make your games even more enjoyable.
Thank you.
