after rainfall on Bendalfon is a scenario for unsaid, unacted, a "time-waster" ttrpg about leaving things in your mind.
a weird and unsuccessful niche game, little information about it is available. its main "gimmick" was the use of instrumental eps as its scenarios, with each track being a game phase. some of the music has managed to survive through enthusiasts of obscurity, but the rulebook and most of the scenarios' official paratext are currently considered lost media, and there's still uncertainty as to how much even is missing. the frequently circulated zine clipping (fig 1) mentions two scenarios, but a few others have been talked about online.
this was found as a bootleg cd with handwritten notes (most likely as reminders for someone already acquainted with the rules and setting, fig 2) and three character sheets (possibly incomplete, figs 3-5). the official release would likely have had flavor text for each track, as well as illustrations and premade characters. i've opted to give it a new cover, for the sake of presentation. think of it as compensation for the photographed paratext (i don't have access to a scanner at the moment).
A musical game?
Unsung, Unacted is a new game with a rather odd premise: play takes place in sync with a short instrumental album, while your characters decide on all the ways they can avoid doing what they want.
Best played in pairs or small groups -- that is, if you can find people to indulge in this little time-waster. But if you can't, at least you got some music, right?
There are currently two high fantasy scenarios: Bridge to Liagon and After Rainfall on Bendalfon, with "more in the works".
01 - remembering (intro)
-> ease into the game
-> meet each other's characters
02 - and as we wash our hands
-> describe setting together
----> space & time
03 - regret, denial, ruin, desire
-> intention phase
-> generate tokens
04 - a veil between
-> inaction phase
-> what they think of doing vs what they do
----> talking is an action
-> pass the tokens around
05 - forgetting (outro)
-> debrief
-> [text is striken-through]
