Welcome to the newsletter dedicated to the Loreseed Workshop
I’ve always had ideas that didn’t quite fit anywhere.
Too fleeting to justify a full release. Too experimental to wear the polished look of a finished game. Too personal to wrap in branding. Ideas that felt more like sparks — the kind that light something in your imagination but vanish before you can pin them down.
Over time, those sparks started to pile up.
A notebook full of strange mechanics, mood pieces, dreamlike worlds. Half-made systems. Setting sketches. Solo journaling prompts. Narrative tools without a clear destination. They weren’t broken — just untamed. And I kept asking myself: where do these belong?
Loreseed Workshop is my answer to that question.
It’s not a brand. Not a company. Not a publishing imprint.
It’s just a name I give to the place where I plant these things and let them grow — crooked, unedited, half-feral if they need to be. A place where I can experiment freely, without monetization, without format constraints, without expectations.
Loreseed is a creative label for:
experimental and unpolished tabletop RPGs
strange and evocative worldbuilding tools
narrative curiosities that blur the line between game and atmosphere
Everything released under this name will be completely free, open-licensed under Creative Commons, and designed with one goal: to spark something in you. A mood. A question. A story worth telling.
This is not part of Zotiquest Games — which remains my main publishing home for structured, commercial projects. Loreseed Workshop lives on its own. It’s quieter. Weirder. More personal.
And it starts now.
In the coming weeks, I’ll begin releasing the first “seeds”:
Anemoia – a nostalgic solo RPG about traveling through decades you never lived
Fogbound – a Silent Hill inspired solo game
Duskara – an open world of wind, memory, and ruins, ready to be wandered
Some will be brochure-sized. Others may become full PDF volumes. Most will fall somewhere in between. All will be released freely, with no cost, no DRM, no strings attached.
If you’re curious, stay close. If something resonates, take it and make it your own. If nothing else, I hope these small works remind you — as they’ve reminded me — that the best ideas often begin quietly, in wild soil.
