Through Monday, July 20 we present the Colostle Bundle featuring Colostle, the single-player journaling RPG from creator Nich Angell at Draconeer Games about exploring a world-sized castle. The Colostle is vast, rooms beyond impossible rooms, floors above floors extending infinitely in all directions. Mountains, valleys, towns, cities, and even oceans fill its rooms. The vaulted ceilings are so high they are shrouded by misty clouds. Many features from normal-sized castles are present at gargantuan size, such as staircases, windows, doorways, balconies, towering statues, pillars disappearing into the clouds, and long gloomy corridors.
Every Room of the Colostle sees daylight thanks to its Brazier, a huge burning light source hanging high in the rafters. At night the Brazier dims to a gentler white light. No one knows how or why this happens.
Although all manner of threats exist in the wilds, such as strange beasts and barbaric people, the greatest dangers are the Rooks, hulking stone automatons that patrol mindlessly in the wilds of the Colostle’s rooms. Rooks are the only source of magic in the world. Hunters target Rooks, looking for tech they can scavenge, artifacts they can sell, or magic crystals that grant unpredictable powers.
Atop the columns live Gargoyles, winged reptilian creatures that swoop from on high to pick off unsuspecting travellers far from civilization. They carry their victims high above the clouds to their stone nests in the Rafters, wide beams overgrown with jungle heated by the nearby Brazier.
Explorers talk of strange lands far out in the Colostle; jungles spreading up massive staircases, icy polar regions encasing huge human skeletons in glaciers, thin arid corridors between rooms, filled with desert sands blown through huge windows. Any combination of lands, peoples, and the castle itself is possible. Who knows what you will find when you step out to discover what secrets it holds?
Funded in a sequence of successful Kickstarter campaigns starting in January 2021 and continuing through the recent Colostle: The Moat, Colostle is a solo RPG rulebook and setting for adventure in the Roomlands. Using a standard deck of playing cards, check the prompts and rules in the book to see what you discover on your adventures across the Battlements, the Oceans, the Grand City of Parapette, the frozen Tundroom wasteland, and the far-distant empire of Kyodaina. Combine prompts as you like, then decide how your character reacts. Record your growing legend in your personal Roomlander Journal. (Colostle designer Nich Angell teaches how to play the game.)

This all-new Colostle Bundle gives you the core rulebook (including rules for two-player co-op play), the Dungeons and Kyodaina supplements, and play aids – everything you need to fill dozens of Roomlander Journals with your journeys from the Dungeons to the Rafters and everywhere between.

It’s a great place to explore, though you wouldn’t want to paint it. This Colostle offer goes missing, purloined by the Cult of Shards in the Hanging City of Oubliette deep in the Colostle Dungeons, Monday, July 20.
