Benighted Betrothal is an old-school adventure for 3rd-level parties of wandering adventurers, compatible with the Basic and Expert editions of D&D, and any modern simulacra such as Old-School Essentials, Basic Fantasy RPG, and Labyrinth Lord. […] Written by Sándor Gebei, illustrated by L.F.OSR, Odysseus Jones, & coloured by Peter Onyschuk

The game was crowdfunded via Kickstarter in December 2023.

While the title is in Lithops, the author’s name is set rotated in MVB Sirenne Italic.

The book interior combines headlines in Windsor with a yet unidentified text typeface.

Judith Schalansky’s self-initiated Atlas der abgelegenen Inseln was published to great acclaim by German publisher mareverlag in 2009. That same year, it was featured in the selection of The Most Beautiful German Books competition. In 2010, the book was picked up by Particular Books (an imprint of the Penguin Group) and gained a huge following the world over amongst map lovers, geography buffs and graphic designers alike.

Schalansky designed the book herself using Alan Dague-Greene’s exquisite MVB Sirenne, whose origin in 18th-century copper-engraved map lettering makes it a very astute choice for such a project.
