Allies and Enemies

This episode focuses on the other characters who will come into play as we tell the stories of our heroes. These people made them who they are and whose influence color their interactions with the world. When these cards are drawn, the players are encouraged to add into the storytelling some element of how this person’s influence or memory impacts the moment, whether it is causing failure or success.

The Game

This Game was played using the Mavericks system. An RPG utilizing a deck of cards to tell the story and put fate in the hands of the players. It’s a story-forward roleplaying experience that encourages the players and dealer to work together to create the story. Check out the System Reference Document on Itch.io
