Tales From the Loop

Explore the world of Tales From the Loop, where strange technology has invaded the once-tranquil landscapes of your hometown. In this eerie yet nostalgic RPG by Free League Publishing, you play as kids and teenagers in an alternate-universe version of the 1980s solving sci-fi mysteries connected to the world’s largest particle accelerator known as ‘The Loop’.

The game is based more on storytelling and exploration than on combat, making it ideal for tabletop groups who love tackling mind-bending mysteries and working together to uncover secrets about their world.
