Together, you'll form a coven between three mystical archetypes (the innocent and gentle Pure Heart, the volatile, revelrous Wild Spirit, and the uptight, scholarly Old Soul) and try to keep your world of magic and mystery in balance with the mundane world, in spite of its ignorance, poverty, and violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eThe Game\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWickedness is played in three acts: in the first, players discover their coven, the sanctuary they call home, a mundane fantasy nation, and the treacherous underworld lurking beneath it. Each player will be assigned one of the three coven archetypes (The Pure Heart, The Old Soul, and The Wild Spirit) by the tarot deck, and then together they’ll create the world where they live, and the underworld's strange laws and denizens. Finally, they’ll ask heavy-hitting questions about the covens’ relationships to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the second chapter, the cards point to a series of challenges detailed in the games’ interpretation Guide, and the players respond: the coven can fall prey to their archetype-specific follies in order to collect cards, spend the cards to solve challenges with wisdom or use the vast and terrible magic powers at their fingertips-- which is miraculous, but costs the user a piece of their essential nature, striking out and maybe even blackening and replacing a truth on their character sheet. So the players have to strike a balance between keeping the worlds from falling into darkness and keeping one another from falling apart. If the scales tip too far in any direction, it’s entirely possible for the game to come to an abrupt and apocalyptic end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final chapter tempts the coven to go their separate ways but also offers them opportunities to learn from their past mistakes and heal, and finally, they'll face their ultimate fates, determining the future of the kingdom, the underworld, and the art of magic itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWickedness uses a bespoke tarot-drawing system loosely inspired by Jay Dragon’s Sleepaway and is a distant descendent of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rattiincantati.com\/collections\/belonging-outside-belonging\"\u003eBelonging Outside Belonging\u003c\/a\u003e framework developed by Avery Alder and Benjamin Rosenbaum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront cover illustration by Tucker Donovan. \u003cbr\u003eBook design by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rattiincantati.com\/collections\/ruby-lavin\"\u003eRuby Lavin\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 A5 zines, gold foil covers: \u003cbr\u003ePlay Pages (48p color pages), \u003cbr\u003eInterpretation Guide (58 color pages), and \u003cbr\u003eRulebook (42 color pages). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*PDFs will be emailed once the physical item ships.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Possum Creek Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40862764859542,"sku":"RIRPG21042","price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/4768\/0150\/products\/Wickedness-cover.jpg?v=1671490341"},{"product_id":"sleepaway-pdf","title":"SLEEPAWAY + PDF","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSleepaway\u003c\/em\u003e gives us long hazy days, chilled summer nights, kids screaming and chasing fireflies, crackling campfires, and a gaunt, cruel monstrosity forever hiding just out of sight, always asking, “What do you do next?”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSleepaway\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, you play as a camp counselor at a not-so-ordinary summer camp besieged by a Strange and ominous cryptid.
