Lost Pages was founded in 2012 by Paolo Greco, who decided that academia was frustrating as hell. Barely employed, from of a desk make of loudspeakers and a cabinet door they developed 'Adventure Fantasy Game', and then went off to release a series of spellbooks, including some bound by hand by Paolo, who dabbles in bookbinding and printmaking. This helped grow a strong and idiosincratic aesthetic, made in equal measures of 17th century pamphlets, medieval grimoires, and 20th century technical handbooks, often at the same time both game material and in-world artefact and prop. Publishing Lost Pages soon after became a publisher, and released other games such as Chris McDowell's 'Into the Odd', Brendan Strejcek's 'Wonder & Wickedness', and Eric Nieudan's 'Macchiato Monsters', who all went to gained recognition and success, inspiring a slew of other games and creations such as Beyond The Pale, Book Of Gaub, and Wulfwald.

Huckleberry is a dark and weird tabletop role-playing game inspired by the mythology of the American Old West. In this unforgiving landscape, the veil between reality and the Wyrd is frayed and worn thin, allowing the Wyrd to seep into every crevice, corrupting and twisting the very fabric of reality. In this brutal landscape, storytelling takes center stage. Huckleberry focuses on blockbuster moments without getting bogged down in little details. Can you survive the Wyrd Frontier?
