Treasured Possessions

A fantasy role-playing game that uses a deck of playing cards. Your characters are spirits, able to possess living beings to interact with the physical world. Spirits have magical abilities that allow them to alter reality, though this also leads to weird phenomena as the world is changed. There are goblins, wizards and ethereal creatures, though most people can live their lives without ever seeing them and know about them only through tales and legends.

After the colourless, silent, tasteless void of the spirit world, the rush of senses on inhabiting the body left Farn disorientated. The feeling of the breeze against a cheek, the sun on skin, the taste of fruit or even the aroma of the sheep on the hillside that milled around Tove Waters’ now-inhabited body were almost too much to bear. Smiling widely, the shepherd sat up, running their hands over the grass. Ah! To have physical form again!

You can choose to play low-key, with the spirits trying to go largely under the radar, or you can hop from body to body to achieve your objectives.

A single simple resolution mechanic and all cards are drawn by the players with a works, fails or works with complications outcome.

Alpha paused for a heartbeat. Through Hamlin’s eyes they could see the three rogues slowly advancing on the villager with stout clubs. A moment’s concentration and one of the rogues toppled sideways into the gutter, asleep. Behind them, a hay bale burst into flames as the fabric of the world attempted to adapt to the altered reality. Alpha fled Hamlin’s body, leaving the villager stunned behind and jumped into the body of one of the two remaining rogues. A moment of disorientation and the rogue turned towards their unsuspecting fellow, raising the heavy club with intent.

The rulebook contains everything you need to play, including in-play world generation and is intentionally designed to work for solo players. Also included is The Absence of Maurin Salter, an introductory module that invites the players to solve the mystery of what happened to Maurin Salter and what they can do to make things right.

There’s a Discord server for the game, if you want to come and hang out. I’ll post bits of lore and other resources and it’s a good place to ask any questions and find out what’s coming next!
