Moonlight on Roseville Beach

A Queer Game of Disco & Cosmic Horror!

Head west on Rose Island and you get to the pricey summertime communities like Saltwinne, Destiny Bay, or Dunewood. Head east and you'll find exclusive resort towns like Pinewood Harbor, Charmington, and Sunken Oak. But those city kids and artists looking to get away for a long weekend, they're heading right out to the middle of the island for that old gaycation getaway: Roseville Beach.

You play the amateur sleuths protecting this 1979 queer beach town from cosmic horrors, vindictive necromancers, fantastical beasts, and conservative politicians.

The 160-page game includes an introduction to Roseville Beach; rules for character creation; rules for playing and GMing, including creating mysteries, running romance, and even optional quick action mechanics; over 20 Guest Stars: Ready-to-Run characters for anyone dropping into your campaign for a session or two; secret GM information on multiple locations and people in Roseville Beach or on Rose Island; five ready-to-run mysteries and a mystery idea generator to get your campaign started; just need the ePub? You can pick that up.

"The pulpy goodness in Moonlight on Roseville Beach is a satisfying blend of familiar themes and genres that have been mixed together in such a way that feels absolutely unique. Between the occult mysteries, the vibrant queer community setting, and intense nostalgia, I can see this becoming many people's comfort game. It somehow manages to evoke all those guilty pleasure feelings of reaching for a vintage pulp story while also taking full advantage of contemporary knowledge of queer identities and cultures to create a thoughtfully inclusive experience." - Yeonsoo Kim, Women are Werewolves

"Moonlight on Roseville Beach is full of wonders. Its queer pulp aesthetic and its minimalist, collaborative system offer new and veteran gamers alike a chance to explore Rose Island's bohemian community and many secrets. I never realized that the confluence of weird fiction and queer pulp could be so engaging, whether for an evening or an extended sequence of mysteries, but Richard Ruane and his creative team have charmed me. Let those who can heed its call pack your bags—Roseville Beach awaits!" - James Estes, Mage: The Ascension and Fading Suns

"Probably the RPG with the best art I've seen this year, at least! Also the RPG with the best advice on romance as plot I've ever seen, period." - Côme Martin, Two Summers and Meanwhile, in the Subway
