The Almanac of Sanguine Paths is an atmospheric journaling RPG where you craft the story through your own notes and letters. As a werewolf entangled in a mysterious society, you gradually uncover the secrets of a strange almanac that keeps finding its way back to you.

Play solo or with a partner, build your own world, or use the pre-made settings. Thanks to a system based on choice and chance (e.g., tarot), there is always something new to discover and develop.

Over 200 illustrated pages offer a powerful narrative experience full of mystery, creativity, and dark atmosphere.

The RPG is in English.

The Almanac of Sanguine Paths is a journaling game where your letters drive the action. Choose your genre, build your world, and discover the joys of corresponding as a werewolf via a secret society with unknown motives. This game can be used alone or in conjunction with Dead Letter Society (Honorable Mention, 2023 Indie Groundbreaker Awards).

Your Almanac may be an old book filled with information about the phase of the moon and the tides, a newsletter that keeps escaping your junk mail filter, or an indie gaming zine thrust into your hands one day. No matter its format, the origin of this benign text is unknown to you for now. Once in your hands, however, you begin to notice oddities: Pages glisten in moonlight; a sound mimics your favourite bird call; pictures move when you're not looking. You can’t discard the Almanac for long; it always comes back to you.

You are sure there's more to uncover—either about the book or the person(s) who sent it to you—but you'll need help. The first hidden message you discover tells you how to contact other werewolves with an Almanac: securely, secretly, and—if you choose—anonymously. Together, you can find out what it means to walk the Sanguine Paths.
