Card Values:
All Cards are face value Except:
Fool (0) = 1 when multiplying anything
Aces = 1
Page = 11
Knight = 12
Queen = 13
King = 14
A 10 and Wheel of Fortune (10) in most cases can mean a Critical Success
An Ace (1) or Fool (0) in most cases can mean a Critical Failure

Abilities And Items:


Abilities can only be used once per day.
Obtaining new abilities are entirely open. (Found, Purchased, Learned at Advancement, etc.)
A lot of abilities and items are left for interpretation. Give bonuses how you see fit.

Weapons And Armor:


All Weapons and Armor are mostly aesthetic.
There are Weapon and Armor Enchantment scrolls you can attach to give a Draw bonus.
Feel free to create special weapon types that may have once a day abilities. (like +bonus to Combat
Score or Skill Score, etc.)

Enchantments:
Some treasure will give you enchantments for weapons or swords.
As you attach the enchantment to your weapon or armor, the scroll is used up.
Weapons and armor can only receive 1 enchant at a time, but can be overridden. (Attempt to
increase the current bonus or max it at +6.)
Roll 1d6 and note what your permanent bonus is.
Each time you do a Combat/Skill Check you will receive that bonus to each of your card Drawn
values that pertain to that Skill check.
Example: Weapon Enchant of (+2 Combat), during Combat only, You attack the enemies 6 card
with your 5, but with the +2 bonus your 5 is now 7 and beats that card. Armor Enchants are used
for Skill Checks not Combat Checks.

Rations:
Rations are completely optional, but add to the game and can even spark more adventure.
Draw for Rations Yes/No
If Yes, then Use Ration Spark on card or Draw new Card for Ration Spark
Searching for rations takes up an entire day.
1 ration is taken each day during Camp
Draw 1 card for Yes/No if you found rations
If Yes, then Draw 1 card to see how you found the rations and roll for quantity found
You don't recover any Scores if you don't have rations going into Camp

Starting Rations: 1d6


0-6 2
6-12 4
13-21 6

Contents:
Combat and Skill Check System:
Draw the amount of cards for your Score face up
Draw the amount of cards for the Enemy Combat or Skill Score face down
Flip one Enemy Combat/Skill card up.
Utilize one of your cards to beat (Numerically) the opposing card (See Card Values)
If the card values are equal, that is a clash. You discard your card and draw another to face the same
opposing card. Continue until there is a result other than a clash.
If you draw a 10 that is a Critical Hit (Regardless of opposing card). Remove face up card and an
additional card from the opposition.
Discard any of the opposition cards that have been beaten.
Each round regardless of loss or win, you discard your card used.
If the majority or all of the opposition cards have been discarded then you win.
A win means you are successful. If killing an enemy, they no longer exist.
A loss results in you collapsing. You receive a "Wound". Depending on if you are in combat or doing a
skill check, reduce the Combat or Skill Score by 1.
(Multiple Enemies:)
1d6 For the amount of Enemies encountered if desired to have more than 1 for difficulty (For the
amount of enemies, You can have 1-2=2. 3-4=3, 5-6=4)
Draw the face down cards for each enemy. Flip your cards up.
Flip 1 of each enemy cards up.
Use one of your cards to combat each of the enemy cards. (The same card for all enemy cards)
Discard any beaten enemy cards and the card you used after each round.
Remove any beaten enemy from the game
If all enemies are beaten, you win. If you are out of cards and there are remaining enemies, you lose
and take 1 Wound per enemy remaining.
Wounds last for the day and will heal during an uninterrupted camp if you have a ration or by healing
salves.
If Combat or Skill Score is reduced to 0, you are dead.

Skill Checks:
Anytime you want to do a Skill Check, Draw a card and use the Combat system against the Skill Score.
Common Checks:
Searching or Locating a person, place, or item.
Persuading someone
Disarming a Trap, Picking a Lock
Fleeing, Running, Balancing, Swimming, etc.
Strength (lifting, carrying, pushing, etc.)
Intelligence (solving something)
Perception (noticing something)

Quick Checks:
Quick Checks are a way to speed up some aspects of your journey. Maybe you have a large building or
dungeon you’re exploring and you want to quickly check for traps and treasure as you go:
Option 1:
Roll 1d6, if the result is equal to or lesser than the Score you are checking then you were successful.
Option 2:
Draw or Check against the card Combat or Skill Score, if the result is equal to or lesser than the
Score you are checking then you were successful.

Contents:
Building/Dungeon Crawl:
Design the building layout. (Recommended: Draw cards for each room face down and align them in
the pattern of the floor of the building your in)
The only thing the character should know is how many doors and what direction they are from room
to room.
There are no Draws or Rolls on the entry room.
Decide direction (Any method of your choosing)
Locked Doors - Prior to Entering a room:
Check if the door is locked:
Option 1: Draw a card and if the Impression is “Directly Hostile” the door is locked
Option 2: Roll 1d6. If result is 1 then the door is locked.
Skill Check the Lock. Locks are typically a Skill Score of 2-3. (Lockpicks reduce required Skill by
1)
If you lose and all alternative ways in are exhausted
Option 1: You have reached the end (or failed) this quest. Camp, and tomorrow either search
for new clues or move on.
Option 2: You take 1 Skill Wound (If you have more than 1. if not, then use Option 1) to
"Bash" through the door. (Note: This option is only for doors, not lockboxes, etc.)
Upon entering a room do one of the following:
Check if the room you entered is the destination or stairs room:
Option 1: Draw a card, if the Impression is “Helpful” then you have either found your
destination room or the stairs to the next floor.
Option 2: Roll 1d6 - If result is 6 then you have either found your destination room or the
stairs to the next floor.
Flip the card up (or Draw), if the Room Encounter is “Enemy”, then refer to the card info to
fight the type of Enemy and using the cards Combat Score, Combat Check the enemy.
If you are entering the only room left on the floor, it is the destination or stairs room. (No Draw or
Roll needed)
When Searching a room (Traps or Treasure) , Use the Flipped (or Drawn) room card:
Skill Check that card.
If you win, Draw another card. That card will reveal the Room Encounter.
If the Room Encounter is “Treasure”, take your treasure from that card.
If the Room Encounter is “Trap”, Skill Check the trap to disarm.
If you’re successful, draw another card and if the Room Encounter is “Treasure””
then you receive that cards treasure.
If you’re unsuccessful, you’ve triggered the trap and take 1 Skill Wound. Ignore any
treasure.
If the Room Encounter is “Enemy”, ignore as the initial room card revealed if there was
an enemy or not.
If you lose, Draw another card. If there is a Trap, you triggered it and take 1 Skill Wound.
Ignore any Treasure.

Tavern Quests:
The quest system is left wide open to add or spark from your imagination. You can create a
complication like an ambush, a trick lock, or an NPC that won't let you pass unless you do another
quest that you can Draw. These quests don't have to be restricted to a "Tavern" and can come from any
City Event, Travel Event, Camp Event, Adventure Spark, NPC, Item, Profession, bulletin board, piece
of paper, or even from your characters Organization/Guild.

You can either Draw one card for each option, Draw and use one card for all options, or do a mix and
match of your choice.
Draw for Tavern Quest type: (Keep in mind to create a twist or complication if you want)
Explore:
Draw for Adventure Spark or NPC (If there is no indication)
Draw for Location
Draw for Room Type. (If applicable)
Draw for Enemy (If applicable)

Draw for Enemy (If applicable)
Kill:

same area you are located in and there is no traveling, otherwise Roll 1d6 for number of days travel
to destination
Draw for Reward. (Item, Treasure, Weapon, Armor, or Gold:(10 x Days Travel) or any
combination)
Some Locations you can go inside the building area and Draw for Room Encounter. Optionally
you can also Draw a Room Encounter to determine more interaction within the quest.

Contents:
Traveling:
You can choose to just directly travel to your destination, optionally skipping any Travel Event.
Directly travel there with 1 Travel Event, otherwise use the following options.
Traveling (With a Quest Destination):
You should have noted how many Travel Days it will take to reach your destination
Make sure you have a direction Drawn for your quest. Note the direction because this is your
"Quest Direction"
Each Travel day you travel for is approximately 10 miles.
You begin your travels in the direction of your direction Draw.
(Entering New Area:)
Draw for a Travel Event or Draw for Rations.
If the Travel Event is a "Delay", then you progress nowhere that day and must Camp Drawing
a Camp Event and try to Travel again the next morning.
Anything other than "Delayed", choose to partake in the event.
After completing the Travel Event, Camp and choose a Camp Event.
If you have Rations and are not "Interrupted" during Camp Event, Recover "Wounds" to
Scores.
Upon waking up from Camp, you will reduce Rations by 1 and Draw a card.
(Non-Linear Travel:)
If the value of the card is 10 or less then you will proceed in the "Quest Direction".
If the value is above 10 use the direction of that card to proceed. If it is in the direction you
came from the move in the direction opposite of where you entered, or the “Quest Direction”
Enter new area from the direction result.
Reduce Travel Days by 1
Upon entering a new area and you have more Travel days to get to your destination, Start from
“Entering New Area” again.
Once you have reached your destination and your travel Days are reduced to 0, you can choose
to proceed to your destination without a Travel Event.

Traveling (Exploring):
You can choose to head out and just explore the world. There are many ways to choose which
direction or path. Drawing a card for a direction you want to go in and then utilizing the value
system in steps above from “Non-Linear Travel”, can result in a path that isn't statically linear. Or
you can just draw a new card for direction and if the direction is where you came from chose
("Delayed" or Draw a new card until it’s a different direction you came from).
Draw a card for direction.
Draw for a Travel Event.
Sometimes the Travel Event may be a town, village, or city and you can enter and branch off
and do City Events or pop into the Tavern and do a Tavern Quest from this city or Draw an
Adventure Spark. There really is no restrictions to what you want to do.
If you have Rations and are not "Interrupted" during Camp Event, Recover "Wounds" to
Scores.
Camp for the night and Draw a Camp Event.
Wake up, reduce Rations by 1
Repeat
If you are traveling and Draw “Come Across a Village, Town, or City” Travel Event that just
doesn’t make sense (Typically when the map is already established), then convert that Travel Event
to a “Nothing Happens” or Re-Draw until you get an alternative event.

Contents:
Resource Gathering/Hunting:
Gathering resources is almost identical to gathering Rations. (See Rations).
Resources can be generic or you can separate them into their own category like "ore", "herbs" etc.
Gathering takes up an entire day.
Draw for Rations Yes/No
If you are successful roll 1d6 to see how many resources you have gathered.

Crafting:
See Resource Gathering.
This is a starter or example crafting table to give you an idea and a foundation of resource gathering
and crafting.. Create your own or continue building upon this one.
Weapons/Armor (Ore) Amount Required
1 x Light 5
1 x Medium 10
1 x Heavy 15
-- --
Alchemy (Herb) Amount Required
1 x Healing Salve (+1 Wounds) 5
1 x Combat Potion (+1 to Combat Draw) 10
1 x Skill Potion (+1 to Skill Draw) 10
-- --
Misc (Ore) Amount Required
1 x Lockpick 2

Time
You can never travel twice in 1 day.
Things that take up the Day:
Traveling + Dungeon/Building Crawl (or any Quest destination you have reached)
Resource Gathering/Hunting
Searching for Rations
2 Dungeon/Building Crawls (if they are both in the same area you are and you don’t need to travel to
them).

Item Costs
Unless specified on the item (which is the selling price) all items found, sell to a Merchant for 5g
(stack-able items sell for 1g ea. Example: Arrows)
Only items that are found can be bought from a Merchant (Keep a List)
The cost of an item is 10 x the sell price (usually 50g, 10g each for stack-able, and 10x the amount of
the items value if its in the description)

Contents:
Partnership:
Any NPC you meet can be your "Partner". If successful, they can join you on your adventure. They can
be anything to you as a best friend, hired mercenary, adopted child (apprentice), or even a spouse.
Once a day you can do a "Partnership Check". You may only have 1 partner at a time.

Partnership Check:
Determine how many partnership points it would take for that NPC to be your partner
Every NPC starts off with 0 Partnership points
Once a day you can Draw for that NPC
If there is a "No" in the Yes/No and "Directly Hostile" in the Impressions, you lose a
Partnership point.
If there is a "No" in the Yes/No or "Directly Hostile" in the Impressions, you gain no
Partnership points.
If there is a "Yes" in the Yes/No and "Helpful" in the Impressions, you gain a Partnership point.
All other combinations gain no Partnership point.
Reaching 5 Partnership points allows them to be your Partner and join you on your adventures.
Make sure to Draw them as a full character including the Combat/Skill Scores.

Partner Mentality:
A Partner can be played by another Player alongside you. If you are playing solo, then try to treat your
Partner as if they had a mind of their own (Draw or Roll as much as possible).
Draw "Yes/No", "Impressions", "Direction", or anything that would give them their own say in a
decision.
Example:
Your Partner was created from a Drawn Hierophant. You come across a small group of enemies
that are in your way of searching for what's supposed to be a document that is said to contain the
herbal recipe to cure paralysis.
You ask your partner, "Should we jump in and attack or try to find another way around?".
Looking at the Hierophant card, they have a great desire to seek knowledge so they definitely want
to continue.
Let's say their Combat Score is only 2, along with the desire to get that document the Partner most
likely opts to find another way or sneak around.
You could also just simply look at their card or Draw a card for a "Yes/No" on attacking and go
from there.
If you ever disagree with your Partner, you can opt to Skill Check them. If you win, it's your way.
If you lose, it's their way.
Your Partner may have quests of their own to recommend.
A Partner can only Combat/Skill things that you aren't, but if there is multiple Combat/Skill
checks they will go on at the same time not one after another. Enemies or Skill Checks will also
not gang up on any single PC or Partner.
You gain no Combat/Skill Points Partner wins. They gain their own set of Combat/Skill Points
for advancement.
If there are more Enemies/Skill Checks than 2 or just 1, you can choose who would Check which
one or Look/Draw for your partners advice etc.

Contents:
NPC Creation:
Draw Card for NPC
Pay attention to the Backstory, Professions, Quirks, and Wants. These will tell you what kind of character
this person is and their attitudes. Choose what information is relevant to the role of the NPC in your
adventure in the following options:
Quick Creation:
Roll for First Name, a Physical Detail
Note: Combat/Skill Scores, Impression, and possibly Color
Example: Nine of Wands - A weary looking soldier wearing a Red mantle shoulders me hard
as I am walking by. He switched his Tight and Weary Smile to a scowl and readied his
Halbert to strike me down..
Meaningful NPC Creation:
Note the Card for future reference
Roll First and Last Name, Profession, Organization, Physical Detail, Quirk and a Want
Note: Impression, Skill/Combat Scores, Weapon/Armor,

Advancement:
Your starting Combat and Skill Scores can be improved to a maximum of 5.
How you determine the speed of advancement is up to you. The recommended level gain points per
advancement is 25.
Combat and Skill Score Points are gained separately.
You only gain a point if you win against a Score that is higher than your Score.
If you reach the amount needed to advance then you increase that Score by 1.
Upon advancement reset the point score for that Score to 0.

Backstory Advancement:
Your Backstory score starts at 0
You gain a Backstory Point when you have successfully obtained a clue regarding your backstory.
You may search to uncover a Backstory clue once per day.
After successfully obtaining 4 Backstory clue points, the last search will lead you to the conclusion of
your backstory, gaining your 5th Backstory Point.
Once you have obtained 5 Backstory Points, Draw the number of cards of your Skill Score. Select 1
ability out of the cards and you also receive the treasure from that same card.

Weapon: Longbow

Backstory:
They found something they weren’t meant to—an old book, a hidden room, a whispered

Lead: One night, they dreamed of a tower in the woods and a key beneath a loose stone.
Upon waking, their hand was wrapped around an old iron key—damp with morning dew.
The tower, they now hear, appears to some... and vanishes for others.

You stand in the bustling streets of Naples on a bright sunny morning and can hear
the chatter amongst the streets. You see and see two men in the entrance of a
nearby alley looking very suspicious with gestures and glances of paranoia.
They slide deeper into the ally and you walk to the edge of the building and can
hear them talking.

You can barely make out what they’re saying, but you hear “...we must be careful.
Split up and collect any information of suspicion that would lead to the
Capobanda.” “Okay, I’ll meet you at the abandoned chapel at dusk.”

Getting Started: (My Play through)


Character Creation: Eight of Cups Drawn.

Choosing a female name I roll Valentina Esuli, a Mystic of the Pilgrim’s Society. Combat Score of 3 and a
Skill Score of 3.

Searching for Clues:


From overhearing the brigands the abandoned chapel is very close and less than a days travel if they are
meeting there at dusk tonight. I decide to visit the local Tavern and see if the oste has heard anything.

(Draws card for oste): 3 of Pentacles


The oste has a Skill Score of 3 and with my Skill Score of 3 I decide to persuade him into giving up any
information on the whereabouts of a nearby abandoned chapel.

I Draw Queen of Cups (13), Five of Pentacles (5), and Two of Wands (2). Flipping over the oste’s first card
is a Queen of Pentacles (13). I could clash it with my Queen but then I’d have to get very lucky to Draw
another card that would beat his Queen, so I decide to sacrifice my Two of Wands (2).
Flipping the oste’s second card up reveals an Ace of Pentacles (1). I quickly dismantle it with my lower 5 of
Pentacles keeping my high numbered Queen of Cups (13) for the last card.
Flipping the oste’s third and final card reveals an Eight of Wands. My Queen beats the Eight and having
beaten the majority of the cards I was successful.

The oste proceeds to tell me about the abandoned chapel. He tells a drawn out story about it’s history and
how it’s been a hideout for brigands for the past few years. He pulls out an old crumbly looking map,
although the chapel is not on the map, he points to an area and says “Right around here is where you’ll find
it”. I think to myself “This must be the place, I bet they are holding Galileo there for some sort of ransom.”

(Heading out of the City and Traveling):


I head east out of the city.
(Draws Card for Weather and Travel Event): Ace of Swords
The weather is Sharp with clear winds.
I proceed to travel toward the location and can see the abandoned chapel off in the distance. As I get closer I
can see a few other structures that are in ruins. They appear to have been an assortment of small cottages and
possibly a barn. It’s dusk.

Continued:
I recognize the two men from earlier in the streets. I hide behind of of the closer ruined buildings and see
them have a small conversation and then they head in.
This is my moment. Thinking about my life and how unfulfilling it has been, I decide this might be a chance
to leave that behind and see where this goes. Possibly death? Oh, I hope not.

I quietly creak the front door open to the chapel, it opens into the main foyer which is small. As I enter I can
see to the north a set of large wooden doors to the nave. There are also smaller normal doors to the east and
west.

(1d6 roll for lock check) - I decide to try the door to the west : 6 - Not locked
I slowly open the door and step in.
(Draws Room Encounter Card): The Fool
The Impression is not “Helpful” so this is not my destination room. The card reveals no “Enemy”. I look
around the room and search for any traps or treasures.
(Draws for Traps/Treasures) Strength
I Skill Check the 3 of that card against my Skill Score of 3:
I Draw an Eight of Cups (8), Chariot (7), and Death (13).
Flipping up first card - World (21) - Ouch! I sacrifice my Chariot (7)
Flipping up next card Six of Pentacles (6) - Beat it with my Eight of Cups (8).
Flipping last card - Page of Wands (11) - Beat it with my Death (13) - Successfully searched
(Draws for Trap/Treasure Card): - Six of Swords - After all that, there is nothing in this room.

There is a door to the north that presumably leads into the southwest side of the nave.
(1d6 roll for lock check) - 2 - not locked.
(Draws 2 cards, 1 for the 2 brigands, and 1 for the Capobanda) - Ace of Cups and Justice
I open and slowly enter the nave. In the center of the large room standing in the center isle stands 3 men. The
two brigands are standing there speaking to a tall man with a black and white patterned shroud over his
armor. you can make out his longsword at his side.
All 3 of the men turn and look toward you. They must of heard the door. The brigands pull out their
daggers and the Capobanda pulls out his sword and all 3 rush you.
(Draws 3 cards face down for Capobanda, 1 card face down each for the brigands, and 3 cards face up for my
Combat Score):
I Draw Sun (19), Four of Swords (4), and Lovers (6)
Flipping first card of the Capobanda and each of the brigand cards up:
Capobanda - Six of Wands (6), Brigand 1 - Devil (15), Brigand 2 -Nine of Cups (9)
Knowing this is a tough fight and knocking a card out of the Capobanda cards and defeating the brigands I
choose the Sun (19) card and beat all 3 of theirs. The brigands collapse, and the Capobanda drives forward.
Flipping the second card up - Wheel of Fortune (10)
I have no way of beating it so i sacrifice my Four of Swords (4)
Flipping up the last card -Four of Cups (4)
Yes! I beat it with my Lovers (6) taking out the majority of his cards and the Capobanda goes down!
Continued:

After collecting myself I look around and make sure there are no traps before I proceed to the only door
which is in the southeast corner. It seems to lead to a presumably similar room as the room that I can from
that’s connected to the east of the foyer.
(Draws for Searching): Five of Swords
Galileo must be in the next room and he could be hurt or in trouble, I decide to do a Quick Check seeing the
Skill score is the same as mine and I’m successful.
(Draws Trap/Treasure Card): Two of Pentacles - Nothing

I proceed to check if the door is locked - I decide to Draw instead of Roll this time.
(Draws Card) - Four of Swords - The impression is not “Directly Hostile”, so its not locked.
I open the door and sitting there on the chair bound by ropes and gagged was an old gentleman with a
medium grey beard and eyes slightly sunk in. he looked at me with excitement.

I look around and make sure there are no traps.


(Draws Searching Card) - Hanged Man - His Skill Score is 4 and I can’t do a quick search.
I Draw 4 cards face down, and 3 face up for me - Nine of Swords (9), Seven of Wands (7) Three of Cups
(3)
I flip up the first card - Tower (16)- I sacrifice my Three of Cups (3)
Flipping the next card up - Emperor (4) - I use my Seven of Wands (7) to beat it.
Flipping thirds card up - Ten of Wands (10) - All I have is my Nine of Wands (9) and it’s lost.
With 3 of the Skill cards left and none of mine, I fail miserably taking 1 Skill Wound. (brings my Skill Score
down to 2 from 3)
(Draws Trap/Treasure Card) - Knight of Swords - Nothing
Fumbling around I proceed to remove the gag and ropes from the old man, feeling lucky that I didn’t trigger
any unseen traps.

He spoke out loud, “hey there thank you!” I asked him if he was Galileo and he proclaimed, “yes, I am he.
We must proceed back to Naples so I may prepare for my trial in Rome. The amateurs thought they would
get some ransom gold from me and you foiled their plans. I will let the captain of justice know of your deeds
and you will be rewarded well.”

____________

Later on I witnessed him leave toward Rome. Pondering my new status, I feel like I need to fulfill myself
even more and leave behind this place for more adventures!
