Released in its updated version in 2023 by Pandion Games, this beautifully illustrated zine casts you as a dedicated diner server turned amateur sleuth. Your mission? Find Esther, your most loyal customer, who disappeared right before you could deliver her usual order: waffles with sliced strawberries, apple jam syrup, and a coffee with one sugar and a splash of milk. Built on the intuitive Hints and Hijinx system, all you need is a deck of cards, a notebook, and a set of polyhedral dice to begin your whimsical investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game’s charm lies in its low-stakes, highly creative approach to solving mysteries. Rather than uncovering a pre-written, canon solution, players visit quirky local establishments and roll on encounter tables, slowly gathering odd clues. At the end of your investigation, you will stitch these bizarre discoveries together into your own logical (or completely absurd) theory to explain Esther’s disappearance—rolling your dice to see if your hypothesis is correct. The expanded second edition features a major layout redesign, refined events, and a built-in player journal to make chronicling your coffee caper easier than ever.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCore \u003cem\u003eHints and Hijinx\u003c\/em\u003e Solo Rules Engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13 Unique Town Locations to Explore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRandom Event, Obstacle, and Clue Tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpanded Solo Play Tips and Guidelines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-In Character Sheet and Journal Pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eBook Information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003ePublisher: Pandion Games\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eRelease Year 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eGame Type: Solo Journaling and Map-Making RPG\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eAge Range: 10+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003ePrimary Genre: Cozy Myster \/ Slife-of-Life Comedy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gnome Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52678684475679,"sku":"PNG PGC014","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/9080\/5791\/files\/waffles-for-esther-solo-rpg-front-cover.jpg?v=1784043379","url":"https:\/\/gnomegames.com\/products\/waffles-for-esther-2e-solo-rpg","provider":"Gnome Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
