Traysikel: Ride or Die!
Adventure Module | 14+ | 2-5 Players | 4 Hours
You are the cabbies who ferry without question, commune with spirits, and cross steel against colonizers.
In participation with ZineMonth 2023: Traysikel is a dual-pamphlet system-agnostic fantasy motorcycle adventure for 1-4 Players and 1 GM. Your rebel cabbie must ferry a Babaylan fugitive across the jungle mountain on a tricycle taxi! Battle nightmarish monsters while navigating the island’s violent colonial occupation and its brewing revolution.
This fast-paced, point crawl module features tricycle customization and unique travel rules to give a "motorcycle diaries" style journey across a horror/fantasy setting within a fictional Philippines. Traysikel draws its themes from 400 years of imperial colonialism in an alternate reality where indigenous magic and monsters still dominate the archipelago. Game design and art by a Filipino-American creative team. Traysikel funded on Crowdfundr - March 2nd, 2023.
Digital available now on itch, physical copies available at Exalted Funeral.

Reviews
""Immediately engaging and immersive--cinematic and accessible in equal measures! Traysikel is a wild and exciting ride. The setting is revealed in a way that kept me hooked into the lore while constantly (delightfully) navigating the action."
William L. Cox (Outsider)
"A versatile adventure that can jump-start a campaign, serve as its climax, or stand on its own as a truly unique one-shot. Traysikel is kinetic, immersive, and full of Southeast Asian swagger."
Alex H. Cheng (Giga-Robo!)
"Just reading this adventure sent me on a path of researching more about Filipino folklore and history, which I think is really cool to get out of only a few pages."
Declan (Horsepondmine)
"(The Traysikel) is almost like a face of the group. I really like that. I like how that Style stat plays in with everything. It's just a really good way to tell the narrative."
