Schweig Releases Trapped in the Museum 20th Anniversary Edition

June 17, 2019 – Griffon Publishing Studios officially released Peter Schweighofer’s OpenD6 solitaire adventure gamebook, Trapped in the Museum, in a 20th anniversary edition. “I first developed and released this solo adventure in the year after West End Games declared bankruptcy and laid off its staff,” Schweighofer said. “Trapped in the Museum was part of an effort to keep my name and game design reputation in the public eye in the hopes it might attract some freelance writing work. It was the unintentional launch of a 20-year independent publishing career.” Schweighofer talks more about his experiences with and inspirations for Trapped in the Museum in a Hobby Games Recce blog post.

The 44-page gamebook contains an introduction with character stats and basic rules revised for the OpenD6 system, 57 entries, full-color artwork, and D6 game stats so you can use the adversaries in your own pulp roleplaying game adventures. Readers make story choices and die rolls, following numbered entries incorporating rules for overcoming obstacles based on the classic D6 System developed by West End Games. Just add a few six-sided dice and you’re ready to play!

Trapped in the Museum is available as a pay-what-you-want PDF download from DriveThruRPG. Those seeking something to read and keep on the bookshelf can order a full-color print-on-demand version from Lulu. Of course readers can still download the original, free version of Trapped in the Museum from 20 years ago using S. John Ross’ Risus game mechanics.
