GODLY CURSES TABLE

The BROKEN LUCK zine has been funded on Kickstarter in only 6 hours. And to celebrate that with the blog readers I'm sharing some content that appears in the zine. BROKEN LUCK is a Troika! zine supplement all about annoying and vengeful Gods, curses, fallen semi-immortal beings, magical tarot cards. 

A small pantheon of mischievous Gods appears in the zine. An encounter with any of those Gods would result in a curse. Here's a spread of the zine.


And in a more readable format, the table curse

WHICH IMMORTAL DID YOU PISS OFF?

 1  THE FACELESS GOD.  Your dreamless nights are more frightening than your days (no Healing from sleep)
 2  AISSATA THE WISE.  Your brain is messed up. You can’t count, write or read.
 3  THE DEAD KING.  You attract dead-living beings like a magnet.
 4  THE SUN EATER.  You can’t bear the direct light of the sun anymore.
 5  ABRAHAM THE YOUNG.  You’ve lost your sense of direction. You can’t even tell right from left.
 6  LUCY THE TRUESIGHTED.  You can’t recognize faces, all folks look the same to you.

In the zine there's more (un)goldy adventure tables, 5 backgrounds, a magical tarot card system and more. And we are getting closer to the first stretch goal. Stretch Goals mean more awesome art and more game content for the backers.
