2026 ENNIE Nominee for Best Solo Game

Once upon a time in the infinite and ever-changing Great Library, there lived a fairy tale in search of being told, for that is how such stories survive and grow. It was the tale of an impossible theft, so it found a target, it found a thief, and soon after that, the Scryptwyrm found that a vital song had been stolen from its mind.


Song of the Scryptwyrm is a stand-alone solo mystery RPG that takes place in the Great Library. You assume the role of a Librarian's apprentice and - together with your familiar - gather clues, identify the culprit, and recover a stolen song.

This 60-page, full color game is a hack of the Hints & Hijinx solo mystery game system from Pandion Games and can optionally be played as a sequel to the CRIT Award-winning solo RPG The Librarian's Apprentice, continuing your journey to becoming a Librarian. It contains:

  • 36 potential suspects, contacts, or witnesses, plus generators for creating your own
  • 18 locations, plus generators for creating your own
  • Tables of motives, methods, and opportunities
  • Ephemera from around the Great Library
  • Only human-made art, including elements from Alderdoodle, Galen Pejeau, Emily Entner, and the public domain. 

Key Features

  • Immerse yourself immediately in the story, learning the rules as you play.
  • Gather clues with the aid of your training as a Librarian's apprentice, your familiar, and your Collection - a small oracle deck that reinforces the themes of the Library.
  • Craft a ritual for reading your Collection  - a small oracle deck - and use it to flavor your experiences.
  • Populate the Library with provided characters and locations or create your own using generator tables.
  • Explore the game itself for secret messages.

To play this game, you will need:

  • Three 6-sided dice
  • A deck of playing cards
  • Something to write with

The book also contains information for accessing bonus digital content, including files of optional oracle deck cards and a secrets guide with hints about the messages hidden within game, as well as directions for those who wish to purchase a physical copy of the optional cards.


This game is designed for both new and seasoned players, and is recommended for ages 10+
