Can t Stop Playing is our monthly celebration of a game we’re loving. This time we’re weaving a narrative tapestry in the character-led tactical RPG Wildermyth. Watch out for more articles on it throughout the month.

Three farmers defend their village from invading monsters. They go on to travel the land, looking for the source of the invasion.
