Metalepsis

UPDATE: this game has been expanded and updated. The final name for this game is Metalepsis. I wrote this game in a flurry originally, but it meant so much to me that I needed to take some time and get it where I wanted it to be. 

BIGGER UPDATE: This game is now available in a zine through the Plus One Exp store!

A two-player narrative RPG with one GM - the Author of the story, and one player - the Protagonist, as they fight for control over the Protagonist’s fate. Loosely inspired by Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, from the Amory Wars series. Specifically, this song, Ten Speed (of God's Blood and Burial)

The GM will play the secondary characters in the First Scene of each Act, and the Author of the story in the Second Scene of each Act. The player will play the protagonist for the entire game.

The Author leads the Protagonist through the pivotal moments of their story, but each
time, the Protagonist has an opportunity to break through and confront the Author.

Played with a regular deck of playing cards, one other person, and something to take notes with.

Comes with a generic png overlay and twitch banner!

Made for my own birthday game jam because I love Coheed and Cambria and it's my birthday.
