A Scary and Magical Adventure Ahead

Tales From the Loop RPG: They Grow Up So Fast Out Now!

Everything changed on that fateful day. Looking back, I know that whatever we did changed our lives forever. The sky ruptured and something strange came through. It was a great adventure that showed us how little we knew about the universe. It was scary and yet magical. I wish we could do it again.

 
Return to the '80s as they never were.  Today, Free League Publishing released They Grow Up So Fast, a brand-new expansion for the multiple award-winning Tales From the Loop Roleplaying Game.

In these four new adventures, the Kids will be tested to the limits of their abilities. When an ordinary camping trip turns into something else, they will discover that friends come in all sizes and forms, and even from different worlds. Together they will go on an adventure they will never forget.

The four adventures in Tales From the Loop RPG: They Grow Up So Fast can be played independently, but together they form a campaign spanning the seasons of a year.

The expansion They Grow Up So Fast is now available for purchase via the Free League webstore, in hobby stores worldwide and as PDF on DriveThruRPG.
