It has been written, it has been foretold, but will it come to pass?
You may "upgrade" to print and get a hand-written cover. This is God-Killer Prophecy Augury Edition. The PDF will receive periodic updates as we move towards a Augury+ and an Augury++ edition.
This is a one-shot game where you create the world together and face escalating threats across 6 chapters to see if the Chosen One can vanquish the Dark Lord.
In the prologue you create use cards to create a prophecy, the the dark god, the chosen one and his companions.
In chapters 1-6 play is divided into two major phases: Auguries Phase and the _Adventure _Phase
Adventure Phase
You use two regular decks of playing cards. One is the heroes deck, and one
the dark gods deck. In each chapter you face at least two threats, where
the heroes use their cards to overcome the dark gods deck.
The heroes lose card's as they face challenges and must get more cards
into the hands of the chosen one so they can defeat the dark lord in the
final confrontation.
While that is happening the dark god's deck also loses cards, but only the weakest, causing increasing tension.
Auguries Phase
The playing cards are first used to setup the prophecy. This is the first thing that shapes the story.
Then there are question prompts for each chapter that guides players to
illustrate where they find themselves and who and what they must do.
This then feeds into the challenges of the Adventure Phase.
I thought to myself one day -- "I want a one shot story-game with teeth." And then I thought, "if I am doing that it must be the high-fantasy epic that I loved to read." Finally, I had been mucking about with mechanic that used card decks for some time and really wanted to leverage passing cards between players, and the decks changing over time. Thus, God-Killer Prophecy was born.
