Damascus
A story roleplaying game about aging heroes given one final chance at glory. Players portray characters taking up blades and banners for king and country while confronting the fading legends of a bygone age and questioning who their deeds truly serve. Using a shared system, players act as both directors and characters, framing the story through vignettes, interrogations, interludes, and ensemble scenes. The game is designed for three or more players, requires no preparation, and uses a deck of poker cards and tokens to track drama points.
