I should have commented to let you know how much I love this supplement way sooner! I played the Construct and it was wonderful: the mystery of it all bolstered by others knowing more about you than you do, the potential relationship between binder and construct, the strange fugue of being trapped mixed with the potential coziness of the game’s themes.
I was so inspired by your prompts! It’s such a wonderful thing to read prompts that spark so many ideas and make your writing flow so well. I still remember that the first card I pulled was a 4 of Wands (“You find something your binder left behind”), and that thing was a second unfinished construct. By the end of my game, I had finished the second construct and bound them to me, unwittingly recreating my own situation with this new being. Talking about this reminds me that I wanted to play again as the second construct! I know what I’ll be doing this weekend :3
Though I haven’t played them yet, I like your other playbooks as well; they’re so rich. The regrets of the Pacted and Necromancer are wonderfully evocative. Thank you for your sharing!
What game is this for?

OK thank you!
Beautiful writing and gorgeous design! The details you've given about each potential character are so rich, and I can imagine playing a deeply satisfying game with them. I find the Impostor especially charming, and love their custom Everyday Prompts!
aw thank you!! that means so much coming from you. I’m really happy to have had the chance to contribute :33
