Cartomancy by Smoke & Mirrors

Description

Cartomancy is a tabletop roleplaying game that will let you tell any story you like – so long as it has big action. You will use standard decks of playing cards to power your characters and represent the world on the tabletop. This is a game for players who want interesting gameplay decisions and the ability to tell a story in your own way.

• The same rules can represent swords or laser rifles, a dinner conversation or a ravaging tyrannosaurus.
• Focus on the big stuff that really matters to your story; never get bogged down in minutiae again.
• Perfect for one shots with little notice but can also support campaign play.
• Power system allows everyone to bring something unique to the party.
• Cards allow you to control you own luck; don’t let a bad die roll control your story.

In addition to the core rules, four settings with pre-built adventures are included.

• Four Kings – An introductory adventure and setting that should be comfortable for most RPG gamers.
• Space Marshals – A playset from the good old days of rayguns and monsters.
• Consoles & Cards – 8 and 16 bit adventures like you played on game consoles, now on your table.
• Toytastrophe- A rules-light war game that uses the Cartomancy system to let you do battle with toys.

Plus everything you need to make your own settings, fast!
