Recently my partner inherited several early editions of the Dungeons and Dragons player handbook. Tattered, battered, and loved, they're now the pride of our ever-expanding TTRPG book collection, musty and ancient when juxtaposed with the colorful Monster Manuals and expansion books that we have today. There's a certain majesty to these well-worn tomes, though, with their black-and-white, sketchy imagery feeling a little more 'human' when compared to WoTC's glossy artwork. The Secret of Weepstone, a new ARPG from the publisher of The Mortuary Assistant, seeks to bring those monochrome drawings to vibrant life, transforming them into a virtual campaign that feels straight out of classic DnD.
