tulgey: gyring and gimbling in the Wabe

Can you gyre and gimble with the best?

What are the Lion and the Unicorn actually fighting about? Why does the White King hold court in a dungeon? And doesn't Director Humpty believe in railings?

New neologisms and borrowed expressions are sprinkled throughout The High Weald of Wabe, or just the Wabe to its citizens. Travellers can continue their quest to meet the Jabberwock, or they can take up any number of causes on behalf of 4 competing factions.

This is the second installment of Tulgey, an Alice in Wonderland-inspired setting and adventure(s) for the Cairn and OSR systems. (The first forever-free zine is here)  The Jabberwock is still beyond the scope of this zine! But there is room for creatures slithy and mimsy!

The pdf includes:

• 10 more NPCs based on Wonderland characters
• 1 main adventure thread and 4 tables of rumours/hooks for sandboxing
• 8 new opponents in the bestiary
• 2 new relics and 3 special consumables.
• new art by Collonel Atom (tumblr, twitter)
• an expanded glossary from the New Forest dialect circa 1875

Does anyone actually like it? 

 Playtesting has been a frabjous time. I asked my cat for a review, he just walked away. (He has bad taste, I've seen him eat spiders)

Game Expansion 

Wabe Weald is the second installment of four in this Alice in Wonderland-esque romp. I'm unsure when the next zine will be ready; to receive an email about major updates to Tulgey, please subscribe to this email list. I send vanishingly few emails and they generally contain game material and/or discounts.
