Are the creators of Hollyhock actually a hive mind? Who knows!
We're so happy to have had the opportunity to talk to @ben_rosenbaum and @jdragsky about what it takes to make a #TTRPG !! Go give the episode a listen now on Spotify or Youtube! +
Our first event, Fanwork Fridays, has begun! Anyone who wants to participate has one week to create any artistic work that incorporates Hollyhock and one of the themes we provide. To participate and learn more, join our discord! #indiegames#TTRPGs#fae

All of our Playbooks and Archetypes have been revealed! There is still so much to be shown and we are so excited to share all of our work with everyone. Follow us for more updates on Hollyhock!
#indiegame#TTRPGs#fae#hollyhock
And for our last Playbook, meet the Dealmaker!
The Dealmaker always has something up their sleeve. A shady deal, a convenient favor- as successful in their dealings they may be, nothing ever comes for free. Not everyone will look past the fine print.
#TTRPGs#indiegame#fae
Meet the last Archetype, The Tutelary!
Tutelary fae are as much a part of the human world as they are their own. They have an affinity for all the things human. As attuned as they are to those places, entering new locations may be a challenge.
#TTRPGs#indiegame#fae
Second to last Playbook, The Harlequin!
The Harlequin is a caricature of themselves, a mask on top of a mask. Those who think their overwhelming emotion for a lack of self-control will find themselves off kilter if they ever go toe-to-toe in a dance with them.
#TTRPGs#indiegame
Archetype Time! Meet The Swarm!
Aw, look at how cute! Oh, there's more. Oh, there's a lot more. The Swarm is a community of smaller Fair Folk, aligned in a common goal. Due to their familiarity with communal life, they struggle when separated from their group.
#TTRPGs#indiegame
Playbook Time! Meet The Innocent!
The Hollyhock festival is a marker of The Innocent's journey into the wider world of the Fae, their first time experiencing the full weight of it. It's up to them to figure out how to handle it, and find out who they can trust
#indiegame#TTRPGs
And our Archetype is Mesofaunal!
Mesofaunal fae are as varied in their bug-like appearances as they are in personality and skill. They have a particular knack for twisting fate in their favor, and a strong sense of creativity crafted by their inability to lie.
#TTRPGs#indiegame
Next Playbook is the Aristocrat!
The Aristocrat is an individual who has found themself occupying a position of status within their order, lending them both weighty social and political power, but also the burdens of close attention and high expectations.
#TTRPGs#indiegame#fae
And our next Archetype, the Natural!
Natural fae reap the benefits and beauty of the flora, such as being indiscernible from their surroundings, but like the plants growing out of the rich soil, they are deeply tied to and reliant on the resources of nature.
#TTRPGs#indiegame
Next Playbook, The Traveler!
Traveling between the human world and the Fae Realm, The Traveler's knowledge of the worlds beyond and otherworldly tools may be the advantage they need. But as big as their collection may be, some things are better left behind.
#TTRPGs#indiegame
And for our Archetype, meet The Omen!
The Omen's very being is a portent of ill things to come. Many fear that they may carry that same misfortune with them wherever they go. Those who choose to stand by the Omen's side may find its gravitas incredibly useful.
