8: Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: The Adventure Game

(website, example of play)

A totally new game to me!

It felt apt for David Bowie’s birthday.

A rules-light game, with most of the book given over to a modular adventure, as the characters try to get their Goal back from the Goblin King before the clock strikes thirteen.

Basically roll 1D6, unless you have a helpful Trait where you roll 2D6 and pick the best or a relevant Flaw where you roll 2D6 and choose the worst.

Kin (character type, which decides some Traits and Flaws)
