- For
- Five-player groups who enjoy collaborative role-playing
- Worth noticing
- The stated table rules say the Wickmaster never wins; their job is to make the night worth retelling, whether the party survives or not.
Field notes
The rules page makes the game's shared-table ethic concrete: dice are rolled where everyone can see them, and a bad result is something to laugh about together before continuing. The three sample characters each come with a habit the Wickmaster may use against them. The page says an encounter builder and a script-free improvisation mode are for later sessions; the announced PC playtest is scheduled for January 2027.
