You’ve had each other, through it all. That’s the first thing either of you remember. Your family, your birthright, your world, whatever—it hasn’t been kind to either of you, not in the slightest. You’re who you are now because of what’s shaped you, for good or ill, for better or worse. And you won’t give each other up. Can’t, if we’re perfectly honest. But try as you might, you don’t really understand each other either, and that alone has always driven you apart.
Golden & Rascal is an asymmetrical two-player roleplaying game about two siblings in a cruel place, one desperate to love and be loved, the other determined to free and be freed. One player will play as Golden, the favorite child with a vacillating sense of self, and the other will play as Rascal, the black sheep with a rebellious nature. Together, you will create your world and characters, build out and play through scenes, and find out what happens to your siblings as they discover who they are—with and without each other.
The work is based on Badger + Coyote by Andrew Boyd and produced by Pandion Games. It is for 2 players, lasts 1-2 hours, requires a handful of d6s, is GM-full, and is one-shot friendly.
