It's finally time. 2024. The year that Steamboat Willie and Mickey Mouse enter the public domain. And Captain Pete. But no one remembers Captain Pete.
To celebrate the world's most famous IP finally being available for public expression, we are proud to announceSteamboat Willie: Down the River.
Steamboat Willieis a solo tabletop roleplaying game about creating a world from a blank canvas. It's also about the connection between art and capitalism.
You play as The Artist creating Mickey Mouse (see below) and storyboarding his adventures. It's every cartoonist’s dream… to actually make a living from your art! This dream comes with a catch: marketing is constantly asking you to make changes. If you refuse to bow to their demands, your art might fade into obscurity. Or you might have to ignore your own conscience to keep your steamboat afloat.
