Liminal Archive

In the aftermath of the Gloam, memory is currency. Ideas rot in silence. Cities vanish without war. You are among the few who remember.

Liminal Archive is a narrative-focused tabletop roleplaying game set in a world collapsing under the weight of metaphysical decay. Blending post-industrial ruin, arcane technology, planar science, and fractured history, it invites players to explore what survives when even the past begins to disappear.

Will you rebuild, resist, or simply endure?
