Tales of the Forgotten • 2018 rpg

I knew three prisoners, much like yourselves. Trapped on this island surrounded by nothing but ice and chop. The guards say no one has ever escaped, but those three did.

There are secrets hidden on the island. The three discovered many, but not all. They used them to tell stories and live in worlds far from here.

One played the villain in each story, never repeating.

Each story has 3 (elements), one for each section, in any order.
