Create an Apocrypha to enact the tragedy of a Covenant of Spellblades
This is a narrative game of Sword and Sorcery for 3 to 5 players who already have some experience with narrative games or feel like playing this anyway until it breaks or something else happens.
Testimonial
"Spellblades' procedures descend from Moves found in narrative-driven games but expands on the concept and provides a framework for players to work along to establish a scene. It is clear what a player must do on their turn.
Overall, fantastic work. The game reads like you found it dusted and worn at the back of a creepy bookshop, offering ritual and magic you shouldn't know." - Gwyllgi

Hi, what’s the gameplay like?
No idea! I better get playing this soon. But Gwyllgy has tried it, please ask him.
I am intrigued! It begs to be playtested, to see if the procedures flow well... Have you gotten it on the table much?
A few typos:
* When that fail[s], let the Witnesses convene
* you've come to relay the tale [of] your own slow
* six sided dice, a
buncg[bunch] of themHey, thanks for the pointers, I'll work on those fixes soon!
I haven't played it yet, a friend of mine ran it and he said he enjoyed it. I'm planning to run a few session sometime soon.
The GitHub demo sends me to a 404.
I've been purging those links from the games and it seems it is never done
