VICIOUS PRINCES Alpha 19 is up!

Version 19 is up on the carrd. This is a pretty big one! I'm excited to get it out to you. I think I'm close to wrapping this up.

As always, thanks for checking it out. DM me on twitter or find me on Discord if you have any feedback for me!

Here's a list of changes in Alpha Version 19:

Part I

  • Magic has gained a couple of untrained spells, usable by anyone. Now you have something to spend your points on even if you don't have any magic traits (as long as you didn't explode!)
Part II
  • Changed some GM advice to reflect the importance of rivals.
  • A new section, Section 18, describes the nitty-gritty procedure of actually running the game.
  • Conversations with NPCs has additional language clarifying what contacts can and are willing to do for you
  • Running Projects is complete now, with a baleful little prince illustration.
  • Consequences have been completely overhauled, and a new GM-facing mechanic introduced--the fallout die.
  • Added some stuff in the FAQ, reflecting questions I've been asked about magic and its risks.
Part III
  • Illustrations for Knights and Gods are added!
  • Information on devils is added!
Part IV
  • A new part is in, compiling the rivals I've been posting here. Can't trust everyone to read the blog (only you, the truly elite)

VICIOUS PRINCES Alpha 21

Two princes in a vicious fight about where to order takeout You know the drill: new update, new notes, new effusive thanks for the interest. This one is mostly here to include a big ol' example of play. Check it out on the carrd!  Here's an incomplete list of changes in  Alpha Version 21: A new section, 24: Example of Play , walks you through part of a day of action at the table--it's more or less the cliffs notes version of a session I had just the other day. New art for Section 17! An overhaul to the SCHEMING section--same rules, just a different attempt to tackle the language. Next time I'll hope to have the final example rival, and then the core book is basically feature complete. I'm also hoping to take one last pass at the traits...

Translate this dungeon

I've been using the splendid MRMOTEXT lately alongside Playscii to make dungeons. The character set is supreme stuff for quickly making some beautiful dungeons, but it lacks letters in its character set. Any that I understand, at any rate. I invite you to take this map and use it in any way you see fit--it just needs a little bit of translation first. What you come up with is bound to be more interesting than anything I could have written. @ me on Twitter or on Discord (I'm in the usual stomping grounds there) with what you come up with!

Rival: Keve Kornel, Prince of Coffins

  Rank 6: Great Lord. The Great Lords do not need your love, nor your loyalty. They don’t even need your obedience. They don’t expect it. How could they?  They want your awe . This is how they survive: cultivated unassailability. Not of the men and women (who die like anyone dies) but of the Fourteen, and the Seventy-Seven. As well oppose the rain or the dark. As well rage against death than against the Great Lords. Imagine Zarkany burnt to the ground or slid into the sea–do not imagine it without the Council. Bring one down and sixty-two salivating suzerains line up to fill the seat. Kill one and take their patent and their place. Why wouldn’t you? Do you know what you’d be throwing away? So the bulwark has held for centuries. But Keve Kornel (Fourth Great Lord of the Day Council) has noticed the spiderweb faults in the foundation. The hellish exhalation of the Fabrication district. The nascent eighth ward. The constant cancer-growth from which the Council fancies itself detached. The
