Power Play: Schemes & Skulduggery
Players take on the roles of supernatural masterminds, each pursuing a secret villainous plot. They dictate their actions rather than acting them out, using secret moves, supernatural powers, agency resources, and careful planning to put the pieces of their scheme into place. The game uses a free-form competitive narrative structure rather than traditional role-playing rules. Players can act without moral or class restrictions, and the first to complete their objective wins.
