Voidheart Symphony: Forgotten Concerto

edige23 · March 7, 2022, 6:07pm

This is for a quarterly series of Voidheart Symphony, a game about mundane heroes fighting their city’s worst predators by delving into an abyssal citadel shaped by their target’s psyches. This PbtA game takes heavy inspiration from Persona 5 and other elements of the SMT series.

Rules will be taught Attendance at all sessions is strongly encouraged. One seat is being reserved. In session one we will discuss safety & tone, create characters and fall right into right into the first Castle. General rsvps open Wed 3/9. Sessions run April through June, Wednesdays at 2000 US Eastern.

It’s about trying to achieve lasting change without being corrupted or co-opted by the system you’re trying to change.

It’s about a student, a single mum and an elderly activist shifting into their idealised, mythical forms as they take the fight to a nightmare labyrinth twisting within the mind of their target.

It’s about taking the themes and motifs of works like Persona 5, Psychonauts and Inception, and using them to tell stories that are politically-aware and LGBT-inclusive - and feeling incredibly stylish as you do so.

We will use Zoom for our sessions. I’ll email all players about a week before the first session with the necessary links. Sessions will run up to three hours. We will plan to record, but I will confirm this with the players. The Gauntlet Code of Conduct will be in play and we will use Lines & Veils and the X-Card for safety tools.

If you sign up and your availability changes, please remember to drop from the site and give me a heads up.
