I’m glad that you had a good time with the game! It’s hard not to feel for these poor character by the end!

It was a joy seeing this come together, from James’ evocative writing to Clare’s beautifully stark artwork, it’s a title you’ll absolutely want to pick up (biased as I may be).

I tell you what, you’ll never see me going caving after this, I can guarantee that!

Thank you!

Thank you!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I’m super honoured that you chose CHVLR as your first journal game! Thanks for playing!!

You follow the prompts and then you should set any Aces drawn aside to keep track of them, as the game can end when they’re all drawn. 

Looking for a frightfully fun, quick game to play this Halloween?

Step among the roses and into the realm of The Gardener...

You wake up, huddled together in a shed – the smell is damp and earthy. In the corner, you can see twisted, broken metal, and discarded hessian sacs.

The walls are splattered with dried liquid, reddish brown. With mounting horror, you realize it can only be one thing – fertilizer! Even dried blood would have been better. Because this means you’re in the realm of...

The Gardener

You will have to pay the price to get out alive – or you’ll be the ones fertilizing the gardens…

Enjoy this fun-filled, pulse-pounding RPG where time is not on your side and the horrors abound! Designed to be 1.5 hours of playtime and a quick, fun, pulpy game, The Gardener is a great Halloween, weekend, or convention game that anyone with a few d6 and imagination can enjoy.

Hello! I'm so glad that you're having a great time with the game! Each phase is one die, so it could be as short as one card, could be as many as six. You could end up on many missions, or you could (as someone told me on Twitter) die on your very first pull!

Listen you gotta respect a guy so confident even though he was named after cookware

Thank you!

Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for the help whilst making it. Appreciate you!

Thank you so much, you're ever so kind!

CHVLR is a journaling game about the terrible cost of war and the scars it leaves on those chosen to fight it. It is a game about violence. It is a game about fear.

But most of all, it is a game about hope. Its power and its absence.

Using the Wretched & Alone system, you play as the newest recruit to an experimental military program. You are a teenager, barely into your adolescence before you are chosen, or perhaps forced, to pilot a colossal bipedal robot known as a CHVLR (Chevalier, pronounced "shuh" + "VAL" + "ee" + "ay").

There has been little in the way of training. You are the only one that can pilot this machine - you are the only one with the ability to command its power. Now it is time for you to take to the field.

You will see and do terrible things. You will kill.

Few can truly prepare for the burden that such a responsibility places on your mind and your body. You are so young, and so much rests on your shoulders.
