Moonlight on Roseville Beach

Moonlight on Roseville Beach blends queer pulp with cosmic horror in a narrative-driven tabletop role-playing game set in the summer of 1979. You are spending the season working in Roseville Beach, the queerest little town on Rose Island - a place you came to for escape, fun, money, or maybe love. But something is wrong. People report phantasms in the woods, strange animals roaming the island, ancient monoliths appearing overnight, and an unsettling music drifting in from nowhere. And beneath it all, something old is stirring.

The game focuses on character-driven storytelling, relationships, and shared mystery. Character creation includes your life before arriving on the island, your job in Roseville Beach, and the strange events that first drew you and your housemates into the island’s supernatural secrets. Play is powered by simple d6 mechanics, inspired by Psi*Run and Goblinville Gazette, making it easy to learn while leaving plenty of space for emotional and atmospheric roleplay.

The book also includes over 20 Guest Star characters, ready-to-play roles designed for friends who drop into a session or two, along with extensive guidance for running the game. Deep dives into Roseville Beach and Rose Island flesh out the setting, supported by mystery starters, evocative scenarios, and flash fiction that brings the tone of the game vividly to life.

Moonlight on Roseville Beach is ideal for groups who enjoy queer storytelling, cosmic unease, intimate drama, and mysteries that unfold slowly through character choices rather than combat.
