Lux Adversaria is a series of informal essays where I dig into different elements of roleplaying. "Adversaria" refers to "miscellaneous writings" in Latin, representing my personal collections of notes and reflections. The term "lux adversaria" roughly translates to "light of adversity," reflecting my exploration of challenges and difficult topics.
Lightspress is committed to simplifying roleplaying, prioritizing substance over style. We understand that the true essence of roleplaying unfolds around the table, where creativity and collaboration flourish, not within the pages of a rulebook. We're passionate about crafting games that unite people and honor their individuality. Through a focus on cooperation, interaction, and investigation, our games offer experiences where players explore compelling narratives and forge meaningful connections. By releasing these games, we aspire to cultivate inclusive spaces where everyone can thrive and where every adventure can shine.
