That sounds like a cool idea to me.
Are they going to be uploaded as new itchio projects?
A horror divination ritual/LARP inspired by the folklore of Crybaby Bridge, for playing at a haunted bridge with a handmade baby doll, chalk, ashes and a deck of tarot/oracle cards.
It is an expertly crafted horror experience that injects magic and dread to an otherwise mundane (but possible haunted) location.
A solo-journaling game with fortune teller mechanics where you tell the story of a diasporic cryptid.
The game has an introspective and melancholy tone, with a sense of loss and yearning for the place/culture you are no longer a part of. I love how the game makes use of the fortune teller mechanics that is rarely seen in TTRPGs, and encourages the player to explore locations in real-life as if they are the cryptid themself.
A solo journaling game where you play as an explorer to a haunted castle.
Based on the Carta system, the player creates a map of the castle by placing down 24 cards face-down on the table. The PC can move into an adjacent area by flipping over a card, revealing the new location. The game transports you to a ruin that is too beautiful to leave, despite it being haunted.
A wonderful collection of 3 MotW mysteries inspired by Northern Germanic folklore; with an ancient spectre, a vengeful mermaid and an undead druid.
The writing is concise and evocative, and I love how the folklore inspiration for each creature is explained in the text.
It's a nice touch to have the mysteries ranked by their tone based on how scary/gory, comical or tragical they are supposed to be.
A very cool TTRPG inspired by French folklore!
In These Woods Are So Pretty, you play as lively visitors—which can be humans or animals—to a grumpy forest.
It has got whimsical storybook-style art and fun push-your-luck mechanics, and I love how everyone gets to celebrate together at the end of the game.
What I had in mind when I wrote the rule is for something like:
You can create your own folklore, myths and urban legends, but they should be somewhat rooted in a culture you are part of or a place you belong.
Print-and-play board games are just not very popular as a whole. Out of the 61K physical games on itch, only 2.6K (4%) are tagged "Board Game": https://itch.io/physical-games/tag-board-game
Just looking at the top games on the list, a portion of them are in fact TTRPGs or zines about board games (and not actual board games themselves), so the actual number is even lower.
I am interested in seeing more board games though. :)
