FADÓ

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Fadó, an RPG set in ancient Ireland (and featuring the saint himself)!

Today's the traditional date for the Winter Solstice, when the interior of Newgrange is lit up by the sunrise - but this year Ireland's shortest day is actually the 22nd! In Fadó, Newgrange appears as either an empty, foreboding tomb or the cosy home of the Dagda (as seen in this screenshot!) depending on which character you're playing as.

As a joint Winter Solstice / Christmas gift, we've put a 15% discount on Fadó! Dive into the world of Irish myth today at:
