You are squires on the cusp of knighthood, venturing into the treacherous Bleakwood on a quest to prove yourselves worthy and discover the elusive Tower Perilous. What wrongs will you right and lessons will you learn along the way?
Vow of the Knight-Aspirants is a PbtA game of fantasy adventure, inspired by Arthurian legends, fairy tales, and Magic: The Gathering 's plane of Eldraine. This will be its very first playtest. In this playtest, we’ll build characters and throw them into some action, hopefully testing out the game’s modular playbooks, basic moves, and the Lesson mechanic that can grant Advantage or Disadvantage.

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 4 players total.
SAFETY TOOLS IN USE: We will use CATS, the X-Card, Lines & Veils, and the Open Door Policy. This event abides by the Gauntlet Community Code of Conduct.
SET UP INFO: We will play over Streamyard. Expect a set-up email from me about a week before the session, with a link to a Google sheet character keeper.
BREAKS: two ten-minute breaks (and more as requested)
RECORDED: Provided all players give permission, sessions will be recorded for my reference, and possibly posted to the Cloven Pine Games Youtube channel.
