Bright Bard Games
Welcome to the Itch.io page for Bright Bard Games! We're an Indie TTRPG company making games about punk little guys doing their best, everyday magic, and weird space wizards. Our catalogue of zines, 1-page rpgs, game books, and adventures sit at the intersection of tactile, quick-to-play multiplayer experiences and solo/duet journaling games to encourage creative habits
If you're an author, artist, or designer interested in working with us, a retailer or publisher interested in our games, or several goblins in a trench coat with a message for us, please reach out to us at BrightBardGames@gmail.com
Find physical copies of our games on our website and at Indie Press Revolution.
