‘Tales From the Loop’ RPG Goes to the UK in ‘They Grow Up So Fast’
Tales from the Loop‘s new expansion They Grow Up So Fast envisions a new campaign set in the UK of the 80s that never was.
Tales from the Loop, the award-winning RPG of children in a weird, sci-fi 80s that never was, has a new expansion on the way. Titled They Grow Up So Fast, this new book takes the mystery-solving kid adventures of the game straight to the UK.
If you’ve never played it, Tales from the Loop captures the feel of something like Stranger Things or E.T. and translates it into a tabletop adventure. Tales‘ unique engine focuses on the problems of both being a kid as well as being wrapped up in a sci-fi mystery. Which is absolutely delightful. It makes the game have much more texture than you might expect.
But that’s why it’s award-winning. And worth a shot. Especially with a new campaign there to hold your hand along the way.
Tales From The Loop: They Grow Up So Fast – $30.51
The best thing about a TftL campaign is that it teaches you the ethos of the game. You’ll learn what an adventure should look like so you can create your own characters and campaigns in the future. They Grow Up So Fast is up for pre-order right now with a physical book due out in August, but you get a PDF immediately upon purchase.
Everything changed on that fateful day. Looking back, I know that whatever we did changed our lives forever. The sky ruptured and something strange came through. It was a great adventure that showed us how little we knew about the universe. It was scary and yet magical. I wish we could do it again.
In these four adventures, that together form a campaign spanning the seasons of a year, the Kids will be tested to the limits of their abilities. When an ordinary camping trip turns into something else, they will discover that friends come in all sizes and forms, and even from different worlds. Together they will go on an adventure they will never forget.
This book includes:
- A four-part campaign taking place in the UK Loop of Norfolk Broads
- Extensive information on the Norfolk Broads Loop and the area surrounding it
- Tips on how to set the campaign in the Swedish and US Loops
- New art, maps, and handouts.
You’ll have to get your own UK-appropriate punk/synth soundtrack, though
