A game of drawing constellations and telling stories.
Drawn to the
stars, we looked above. We gathered round and shared tales - tales of
heroism and love, invention and trickery. We now come together again to
tell new stories. We look to the stars and trace lines between them,
carving out shapes. New characters, adventures, and betrayals come to
life. The Teller pulls us close through words, and tells a new story.

Told by Starlight is a no prep, GM-less game for
2-6 players. It is about drawing constellations and telling the tales
behind them. Using a standard deck of playing cards to generate themes
and prompts, you will create an entire mythology, and all the characters
within. Make a physical star chart and fill it with constellations as
you tell tales. Use character archetypes inspired by real-world
mythology to drive the drama in your stories as you create a pantheon
with the people at your table.
