Abstract
As someone who enjoys tabletop roleplaying games, I often find that they are designed to be played by multiple people rather than by a single individual. Zines are printed self-published mini magazines that can be about any subject and tabletop roleplaying games are games that are usually played at a table and a game master creates a story where the players pretend to be a character while using dice to determine certain outcomes. My project, Withered Fate: Bones for the Oracle, is a tabletop roleplaying zine game designed to be played solo. It is about the players fate being withered and having to gather the bones of those who suffered a withered fate before and have an oracle restore their fate before their own demise. There will be three versions of the game, each with a different theme. Each theme will allow players to experience different creatures and settings.
