From the 10th to the 12th of October 2025, Lore Obscure and our good friends at Meeple Finder had the absolute joy of joining the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) in Singapore for their Let’s Play: Crossing Cultures event.

It was a celebration of games and stories across time — from ancient board games to modern tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) — and we were honoured to be a part of it.

In this dramatic piece of dark fantasy fiction inspired by a TTRPG session, Baron Garlem Wyfitt of Tenali pens a final letter to his family before facing the wrath of the Champions’ Council. Betrayal, political intrigue, and devastating loss drive this tale of loyalty and downfall, where numbers, duty, and ambition clash with mercy and justice. Set in the embattled kingdom of Tenali, this narrative blends themes of war, corruption, and legacy into a poignant reflection on honour, family, and the heavy cost of power.

Our catalogue has been inspired by countless sessions of running and playing iconic TTRPG adventures across genres. From the chilling corridors of horror modules to the sweeping quests of high fantasy, every story we’ve experienced has helped shape the adventures we bring to you.

Whether you’re a seasoned game master or a newcomer ready to roll your first set of dice, exploring these genres can inspire your next unforgettable campaign.

In this heartfelt piece of TTRPG-inspired narrative fiction set in the village of Dawsbury, Theo the Tortle adventurer steps away from the festivities of his adventuring party to receive a tattoo from Frigg, the adopted daughter of the blacksmith Froy. What begins as a simple request for body art becomes a deeply emotional moment of remembrance, as Theo immortalizes his mother’s image in ink and confronts his grief, loss, and identity. Blending themes of memory and identity, this tale offers a poignant reflection on how personal history and chosen family shape an adventurer’s journey.
