Ludography

No Stone Unturned is heavily inspired by games from these authors:

John Harper’s Blades in the Dark directly inspired the down-time mechanics. This game is Forged in the Dark.

Slade Stolar’s The Indie Hack features the details-based dice resolution present in this game, thus this game runs on The Indie Hack Engine.

Meguey Baker and D.Vincent Baker’s Apocalypse World laid a framework and design philosophy for many games, including this one. This game is Powered by the Apocalypse.

Fraser Simons’s The Veil explored using how a character feels as a basis for how they perform actions, and this game shows my take on that.

Avery Alder’s The Quiet Year is a game about the wants and needs of a community in struggle, and inspired many of the world building tools here.
