"Descend beneath the City at the End of the World."
A 404-page dungeon-crawling tome with new-school mechanics and old-school sensibilities. Instead of dice alone, the party draws from a tarot deck that drives combat, divination, and drama. Slot-based inventory, light, food, and character Bonds aren't bookkeeping — they're the heart of a long, Metroidvania-like descent.
Adventurers delve the dungeons beneath the City at the End of the World — the last city, ringed by darkness. The tarot shapes fate: cards for combat, for reading omens, for the tangled bonds between characters. Troupe-style, relationship-driven play where who your character loves matters as much as what they carry.
The Tarot Engine
One deck resolves everything: combat, skill tests, divination, and dramatic reveals. Novel but easy to grasp, and it works at the table without a translation layer.
Slot Inventory & Light
Encumbrance, light, and food are real constraints made fun. What you carry defines who you are and how deep you dare go.
Bonds & Troupe Play
Character creation gamifies relationships. Bonds power recovery and pull the party into interesting roleplay scenes instead of murderhoboing.
Dungeon & City Procedures
Robust, transparent procedures for crawling dungeons and plotting in the City. Every subsystem explains WHY it exists, right in the book.
