Fresh Despatch
A single notice this cycle, and not an excavation at all — word that something long unobtainable is to be struck again. The Keeper holds reprints in particular regard. They are the only mechanism by which these shelves grow backwards.
Newly arrived:
- Forgotten Depths - Reprint Coming Soon! — out of print, then a publisher’s thread, and a man who distrusts novelty explaining his one exception to it.
From the deeper stacks — the same game, three earlier sightings:
- WITAWITADD - Exploration! — where Forgotten Depths arrived as the revelation that prompted the whole episode.
- Forgotten Depths - A top 10 contender (solo dungeon crawl) — the full second-edition case, five innovations and a week of uninterrupted play.
- The Best Games of 2024 (solo RPGs, dungeon crawls, and adventure games) — where it duly took its place on the year’s countdown.
Planned excavations resume next cycle.

– The Keeper
Observes that a game falling out of print is the nearest this hobby comes to a book that stops existing, which makes a reprint a small and unusually affordable resurrection.
