We are Oathbreakers: the arcane community has forsaken us for our sins. But we were framed by the Conspiracy, a sinister group of mages who are bending the world of magic and its people to their will.
We must break the laws of magic in order to save it. We must break the Conspiracy before it breaks us.
NOTE: Please only sign up if you’re interested in playtesting!
I would prefer if participants could attend both sessions, if that’s possible. You must RSVP to each session you wish to attend. Our first session will focus on character/setting creation, with some initial roleplay. Our second session will focus on on roleplay and reaching a conclusion for our short story.
This session is scheduled for 3 hours. I will email everyone a week ahead to confirm attendance. Sessions will be recorded through Streamyard for reference, but only released for public consumption if all players consent.
Oathbreakers is a Belonging Outside Belonging game, inspired by the mechanics of Sam Zimmerman’s L’Oracle de la Révolution . Use tarot cards to rewrite your destiny and destroy the conspiracy! The game rules are simple and will be taught during play.
Touchstones: Urban Fantasy novels, Elsewhere by Neil Gaiman, Vertigo comics from the 90s, a veeeeeeeeery light dash of Mage: The Awakening.
Content Warning : One of the playbooks focuses on death, most of the playbooks have options to outline the tragedy caused by the Conspiracy. There are also playbook moves that encourage romantic tension.
Safety tools : We will be using script change, lines and veils, and an open door policy. We can change these tools to whatever suits the table best. This game follows The Gauntlet’s Inclusivity Policy.
