RED MARKETS is getting a second edition.
The open beta lasts for all 2025. If your group playtests, read the “How to Use This Beta” forward, fill out the questionnaire, and send it to the address.
One-day, I’d like to publish a 3-volume RPG product, but there has to be a good game first. RED MARKETS 2E is my latest attempt. Let me know what you think.
