Under every full moon, the rusałka dance by the edge of their secret pool.
They possess many magical talents, but their gifts always have a price.
As spirits of drowned women, the rusałka remember only fragments of the life they once lived.
What memories will the pleas of mortals bring back to the surface? What fate awaits them all?
Rusałka is a tragic fairy tale roleplaying game about wishes gone wrong. Each player picks a deck of cards to become one of the rusałka, with its enthralling artwork as well as prompts that will bring back her memories and unleash her magical talents. You will also take turns portraying the mortals who are desperate enough to seek out the secret pool and request help from the water spirits. Will it be a lost, injured vagabond, or a witch seeking a new thrall? What memories of the rusałka's old lives will the mortals' wishes bring back?
This small gem of unconventional ttrpg design was first cut by tireless US-based author Nick Wedig. It has now been set in an all-new edition by NessunDove, the Italian rpg lab(yrinth) and winner of the 2021 Indie Groundbreaker Awards whose previous work includes the updated editions of The Magus and Our Queen Crumbles. With the extraordinary collaboration of Letty Wilson, a Scottish illustrator and graphic novelist whose artwork will haunt your dreams.
The new edition will come in the form of a boxed card deck, with 105 tarot-size cards and a leaflet that contains everything you need to know in order to play. Tell your story alone or with a group of up to 6 players, and choose your spirit from 8 illustrated Rusałka decks.
