Polygon can exclusively reveal the first public playtest for Idols of the Neon Dark, an upcoming neon-fantasy tabletop RPG adventure compatible with Dungeons & Dragons 5e (2024) that debuted on Kickstarter in a pre-launch phase back in December. The playtest — available in the updates section of the Kickstarter page — introduces The Idol, a unique class inspired by K-Pop stars who fight evil with weapons, magic, and music. But it also firmly establishes the setting of Lumenica, a neon-soaked cavern-city that glows with the light of a magical crystal.
