Looking for a deeper, existential experience in a new, unique setting?
Or maybe you've wondered what Mothership might be like with dark fantasy flavor...
In Order of the Black Chalice (OotBC), players becomes Pilgrims to carve their path through the Angelic Timeline guided only by the omens of a divine Relic, the earthly remnant of a heavenly angel.
Take the Black Vows. OotBC campaigns are centered around 1 of 9Relics which guide your Pilgrims to their Destiny. Each has its own commandments, taboos, and holy manifestations, all of which play a pivotal role in shaping the narrative of your campaign.
Fight for your soul. Choose from dozens of Combat Maneuvers, both Actions and Reactions, each time you fend off the forces of darkness and destruction; gird your spirit against pain and despair by forging bonds with your Relic-brothers.
Open the Seals of Revelation. Your Destiny beckons, but the Church refuses to illuminate the path. Chaos weeps through the cracks in God’s firmament. Delve into Creation’s fault-lines, uncover secrets obscured by dogma, and write your fate in the language of miracles.
OotBC uses Tuesday Knight Games’ Panic! Engine to structure the torments of peril and mystery. Stress measures the burdens of your soul, and Wounds are the evidence of your physical trials. Choose your foes carefully, for any roll on the Wound Table may be your very last…
A special gift for our early supporters...
