Episode 521: Interview with author Federico Sohns - Zephyr: An Anarchist Game of Fleeting Identities
26/09/2025 Duración: 57minZephyr: An Anarchist Game of Fleeting Identities is a roleplaying game set in the wandering, sentient continent of Ophoi. This entity travels on a relentless march across an endless salt flat, its four lungs bursting with sentimental energy - the alien emotions of the Zephyr, which comes in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Like most substances, the emotions of the Zephyr coalesce into mountains made of rage, rivers of sorrow, fields grown out of the essence of guilt - everything that is, in its whole colorful gamut, including complex lifeforms. You can buy the game from: https://araukana-media.itch.io/zephyr-roleplaying-game And from DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/es/product/480816/zephyr-an-anarchist-game-of-fleeting-identities?affiliate_id=318686 ********************************************** Please help our channel by subscribing and commenting.
