Welcome to Middletown

It’s been six years since the Bloom. They said it was an accident.  “Accidentally,” every man, woman and child was gone. “Accidentally,” the city of Middletown became a wasteland. “Accidentally,” an iridescent dome sealed off what was left from the rest of the world.

While the national guard ran amuck, a few of us figured out how to slip inside. We found an ecosystem unlike anything on Earth. Lavender that grew in gasoline, machines that ate and drank and grew, insects that flashed with caramel-colored radiation.

The military and their corporate cronies want a monopoly on what goes in and out of Middletown. I won't stand for that. There's too much to learn, too to discover. Too much that could stop this from happening again.

It belongs to all of us, no matter the cost.

Welcome to Middletown is an upcoming roleplaying game for two to four players, inspired by Roadside Picnic, the OSR movement and the uncanny tableaux of the American Midwest. When complete, WtM will include everything you need to make your first trip into the Bloom.

Welcome to Middletown is currently in development. Purchasers of the 2024 TTRPGs for Palestine bundle will automatically receive the game upon its release. While WtM isn't technically a part of the 2025 TTRPGs for Trans Rights - Ohio bundle, folks who picked it up need only submit screenshot proof to receive a download key. The same offer extends to anyone that provides a donation receipt from one of the charities featured in the bundles above (please send requests for keys to welcometomiddletown [{at]} gmail).
