The Librarian's Apprentice

The Librarian's Apprentice is an all-ages solo journaling RPG that takes place in an infinite library. Take on the role of the titular apprentice and, together with your familiar, journey through the Great Library in search of six documents requested by your Librarian.

Built using the Firelights game system by Fari RPGs, the core rules fit on a single trifold brochure. Two additional brochures contain descriptions, complications, and other details to inspire your imagination, and the character sheet comes in the form of a bookmark.

This game was inspired by The Stygian Library RPG by Emmy Allen, the Interstitial Library Circulating Collection, Terry Pratchett’s L-space, and various works from Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, including Kiki’s Delivery Service, Spirited Away, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, and Princess Mononoke.
