Any journey can become a legend! Make up your own campfire story, myth or fairytale in Mythology. It's a GMless storytelling game where everyone collaborates to tell a new tale inspired by the images on a whimsical deck of tarot cards. Players make up their characters by mixing several cards, then take turns drawing cards to set up the initiating event and obstacles for other players to tackle. Together everyone will weave the story of a new legend and discover how the city got saved! No knowledge of tarot cards is needed and we'll use a non-traditional deck of images to inspire us. Mythology is part of The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book, an anthology of 2-page games. This means it's very rules-light and very easy to learn, but players should be comfortable using their own imagination without many rules to hold on to. This game will be great if you like collaborative storytelling, mythology, legends, fairytales, interpreting images and/or tarot. 

We'll create characters together at the start of the game.

Perils & Princesses is a game of gritty & pretty fairy tale adventure. Steel your resolve, gather your grace and sharpen your wits, and you might just live…Happily Ever After. 

Play as Princesses who don't need saving, they'll be their own heroes! With magical Gifts from their Fairy Godmothers to aid them in their quest through the enchanted forest, they set out. With bright sword in hand, they faced threats and saved the realm time and time again. Can they do it once more? Once upon a time, there was a Princess named Elysia, who ruled over the humble village of Willowbrook nestled amidst the lush embrace of the forest. The villagers of Willowbrook revered Princess Elysia. She was their guardian. Her Rosewood Crown, a gift from her Fairy Godmother, gave her the ability to channel the powers of nature and protect the villagers from harm. But even in the most enchanting of tales, darkness has a way of slithering into the hearts of the unsuspecting. A cruel conjurer, Velesar, preyed upon the Princess's kindness. He stole the Princess's crown for his own nefarious purposes and broke her heart. Vanishing into the depths of the forest, the sorcerer left no trace behind, leaving the Princess bereft, her heart heavy with sorrow. Ages passed, and the crown was forgotten. The only relic of Princess Elysia is a moss-covered statue in the town square, with Elysia's mournful likeness carved in stone. A Princess without a crown. Recently, strange occurrences have been frightening the villagers. Crops suddenly rot. Groups of deer and rabbits flee the nearby forest. Reports of strange sounds and mysterious disappearances put everyone on edge. Furthermore, each of you has plagued by the same dream—you see visions of Princess Elysia beckoning you to a giant tree in a clearing deep in the forest. It's time to find the Rosewood Crown.

"Perils & Princesses is a fantasy role-playing game of gritty and pretty fairy tale adventure. Steel your resolve, gather your grace, and sharpen your wits, and you might just live…Happily Ever After.

Remember that scene in Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs when our hero runs off into the deep dark forest, narrowly avoiding the pitfalls and horrors within? Or when Dorothy Gale throws a bucket of water in the face of the Wicked Witch? This game is all about the humble moments of heart and heroism of storybook princesses.

These adventurers rely on baskets of goodies, trusty hatchets, and their hidden talents to help them on their way. The gifts from their Fairy Godmothers help them call upon woodland animals, sing enchanting songs, or connect with the elements of nature as they dig deep to survive the perils that await them."
