When I used to read fairy tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!”
- Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Every adventure requires a first step.
Through the Looking-Glass is a roleplaying game based on the world of Wonderland, created by Lewis Carroll and explored in his wonderful stories and poems. The game sees you take on the role of a protagonist in such a tale, exploring the whimsical nonsense of the realm, and trying to overcome one of its terrifyingly bizarre villains.
This micro ttRPG is based on the works of Lewis Carroll, specifically Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871). The game embraces Carroll’s love of wordplay by utilising letter tiles from the household word game Scrabble®️ (by Mattel) as its conflict-resolution mechanic. In order to overcome obstacles, characters draw tiles from a sack and create words.
