PROPHECY QUEST

What is Prophecy Quest?
Prophecy Quest is an analog roleplaying game zine about ordinary medieval people going on extraordinary journeys, plying their trades, seeking the comforts of home, and overcoming strange prophecies foretold by mysterious oracles. Prophecy Quest is inspired by quests from classic literature like The Odyssey, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Beowulf, and The Canterbury Tales.

What's in PQ Issue 1?
Prophecy Quest Issue 1 presents a ruleslite TTRPG system that is great for beginners and tabletop veterans alike. The rules emphasize group world-building and cooperative storytelling in a way that facilitates cinematic journeys, epic battles, and comfy slice-of-life moments in a medieval fantasy world.

Why are you making Prophecy Quest?
I absolutely love indie RPGs. I play tabletop RPG's three nights a week and I absolutely adore it. I'm a forever GM, so I wanted to create a game that I really wanted to play! I was inspired to start writing the game when A24 films announced David Lowery's The Green Knight movie.  My excitement for the film re-ignited my love of mythology and quests of yore. I tried to capture a lot of the essence of those stories within the game.  Hopefully, I've succeeded!

When does the alpha version come out?
I hope to wrap up play-testing and put out our exclusive Patreon print-run of the zine by October 2021 and then move on to finishing subsequent issues. Prophecy Quest is currently accepting community feedback while we finish the play-test. Let us know what you think of the game! 

What about future installments?
Subsequent issues of Prophecy Quest will provide supplemental material for playing different types of campaigns such as Pilgrimages (one-shots), Quests, and Trade Caravans. I hope to release at least two (or more) additional issues of the zine over the next year. More info coming soon.
