Matriarch's Choice

How did the kingdom come to this? At the worst time imaginable the Lords of the Sheath saw fit to betray the land that so rightfully belongs to its people.

Now, with war on the horizon, the Council of Shards must make a choice; to band together and defeat those that have betrayed them or use their own skills in magic and battle prowess to bring down North Star, the most corrupted Lord of them all.

Matriarch's Choice is a Princess Sword journaling role-playing game for one player based on Anna Anthropy's Princess with a Cursed Sword. It requires a tarot deck and can be played in half an hour or more.

Who is your Matriarch?

A healer from the Waterfall Towns, a knight from the Fire Peaks, a warlock from the twilight Forest, a duelist from the Airship Colony, or something else

Who are the Lords of the Sheath?

Nothing is really off limits here. It can be big and catastrophic to small and full of subterfuge.

A Fork in the Road

Whenever your matriarch/the council is faced with a challenge let the coins decide.

Chronicling the Matriarch’s Choice

As you sit in the Council of Shards discussing what is to be done, you might find that you have your own musings of how the situation should be handled. Write in third person as a chronicler of historical events might.
