I just released Hearts of Magic: Threads Entangled, a hack of Firebrands about fey nobles, arcanist-bureaucrats, and anarchist witches falling for their enemies, fighting with their friends, and allying with their rivals, amid a struggle for a magepunk fantasy city.
it's made up of ten games:
- Solitaire - what were you doing? what have we heard about you?
- A Chase - do you have the nerve to pursue?
- A Conversation Over Food - at ease together, or a tense meal?
- A Dance - when the music ends, will I see you again?
- A Free-for-all - why do we fight, and what are the stakes?
- Meeting Sword to Sword - steel meets steel, gaze meets gaze - who will blink?
- An Oblique Discussion - how can I tell you the things I can not say?
- Stealing Time Together - alone, together, with a gentle "may I?"
- Weaving a Spell - how do the two of us make magic greater than either alone?
- A Wizard's Battle - can you resist the full strength of my powers?
it's for 3-5 players, with no materials necessary beyond a coin to flip, and intended for one-shot play with no prep and no GM. It's perfect for new players and veteran story gamers alike!
