We just played this game on our actual play podcast! It was such a fun one-shot, with the format really suiting a sit-down-and-play scenario. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the mechanics were really easy to pick up. I'd fully recommend it, and there's also a full detailed review on our website if anyone would find it useful: https://www.rollplusheart.co.uk/blog/green-dawn-mall
Overall we had an absolutely cracking time exploring this game, and we'll definitely play again in future if we get the chance!
I have played three consecutive fewshots with Green Dawn Mall and had a good time. First my players played the classic scenario of teenagers looking for their friend, then they played a group of journalists on the tracks of those teenagers. Finally they were so familiar with the weirdness of the mall, I let them play Mannequins leading a revolution in the mall.
If you and your group like weirdness and can build an interesting story with a rules-light game, you should give it a shot.
Hi I ordered a hard copy on Oct 24 and haven't received it yet. I know postal delivery is iffy these days but should I panic ? Thanks, happy holidays and take care
Hi! I sent you an email the very same day to ask for your postal address; I realize now I never got an answer and I should have sent a follow-up email. Email me at come DOT martin AT gmail DOT com with your postal address and I'll send you a copy next week! I'm terribly sorry for the delay.
Ouch I never got your mail. Oops sorry about that. My address is in my profile on this site ; I'm eMailing it to you as well to be sure. Thank you for your quick answer and have a nice end of year !
I should set them up by the end of the month! If you want one before that, please drop me a line: come DOT martin AT gmail DOT com and I'll see what I can do :)
A sort of light hearted yet high stakes type of narrative, i love how the game states it's about weird, not horror. I feel we get too much horror already, and this is a great switch of mentality for this type of exploration/investigation game!
The system is super intuitive and easy and brings cool mechanics to the table, such as the escalation of the Odd, which modifies a good portion of the game, escalating the weirdness to a whole new level.
And finally, i LOVE that this game has a pleyer's advice section. I feel like we don't get enough of this. It helps set expectations and avoid "videogame-y" behaviors that some people carry over from digital games into ttrpg. This helps to create a more cohesive and immersive experience for the table as a whole.

I can't wait to give it a listen!
Just ordered the book! Can't wait to get it! Got some big plans for it!

One of them is to stream it on my TWITCH channel once I relaunch!

You're the first person I hear about who played the other versions of the game... I'm glad you enjoyed them!

I love it 5/5
What is the biggest Dungeon of our times ?
A crazy mall, of course !
This game is absolutely perfect to play with light rules a dungeon crawling with the tone and the energy of our modern lives.
It makes me feel I'm in a movie with parts of Brazil, Strangers Things, Zombiland, the Goonies and a bit of Terry Pratchett !
A must to read, a must to play !
Sounds amazing!
It is !
