Finding Fishbone - A Fable of Fencing, Fumbling and Fantastical Findings

What this be?
Finding Fishbone is a print-and-play, roll-and-write, solo RPG.

It involves roaming, swashbuckling, and treasure-hunting—normal pirate stuff.

Descend into the belly of a mighty whale to discover treasures, companions, and hopefully the good captain... but watch out for ambushes, nasty surprises, and those yucky, yucky stomach acids!

This exercise in adventure and peril requires a sharp pencil, a sharp mind, and 2 six-sided lucky bones.
A clean bottle is optional but strongly recommended.

The game was made in two formats:
- A nice 12-page zine for you to print and enjoy!
- A condensed letter version of the game that fits inside a bottle!

The game is entirely print and playable and can be found here:

The game was also available in a limited edition physical format, as a message in a bottle. (Photos below)
