The Supermarket at the End of Reality
A downloadable adventure for Troika
You have received a coupon for a free sample of frozen custard.
But not just any ordinary old custard.
This coupon is for Dr. Appolinaire’s Cubic Delights.
Scientifically proven as the most delicious custard in the million spheres.
Sold only at the Millimart, the Supermarket At the End of Reality - a grocery store that hangs on the very precipice of foreverspace. Which just so happens to be within a stone’s throw of your current residence, Troika City.
Shop 'Til You Drop
The Supermarket At the End of Reality is a jaunty* trip to an otherworldly grocer to fetch some frozen custard (akin to a mini dungeon crawl) for Troika! and is intended for play over a single session by 3 to 5 players.
It's a perfect way to introduce players to the game or perhaps it is across the street from The Blancmange & Thistle, or around the corner from the Downgate Arches of The Big Squirm.
It can be a straightforward romp through the store, but like most dungeons, exploration, curiosity, and creativity are highly rewarded.
Includes:
- 23 pages of supermarket mischief.
- Exciting shopping departments & bizarre employees.
- 2 bodega-themed Backgrounds
- A grocery list of fantastic items found in the store.
- Beautiful art by inkysuns and Roque Romero.
- A psychic talking cow that insists on being eaten.
- Custard that grants wishes.**
Inspired by The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams***, The Mighty Boosh, and fellow weird and whimsical Troika! adventures.
*Or spritely, nonchalant, effervescent, zippy, full of beans, etc.
**Fair Warning: wishes are granted in the most incredibly ironic and roundabout way, per usual.
***Not directly, but in spirit.
