RPG Game Night, "Rosewood Abbey" w/ Chi @ SQBG

Join experienced GM Chi for a folklore-inspired Carved from Brindlewood game. ABOUT THE GAME Rosewood Abbey is a roleplaying game about upholding the truth no matter the consequences. This Carved from Brindlewood (PbtA) game is for 3 to 6 players. The Fratres Herodoti comprise an informal brotherhood of scholars who swore an oath to knowledge and truth. At the Abbazia di Palissandro, Rosewood Abbey, other monks, and their flock are prone to interpret situations as either the work of God or that of maleficent spirits. As rumors spread out of proportion, the papacy becomes compelled to settle the veracity of alleged miracles or heresies. Will the Friars uphold their oath? CW: Rosewood Abbey has roots in Walloon, Flemish, and European folklore, which is often irreverent towards religion. The world-renowned paintings by Hieronymus Bosch offer an excellent sample of this spirit. This game engages with images of the Catholic Church and God, as well as actions Christians consider to be sinful or virtuous. These actions can include crimes, blasphemy, intimate and sexual acts, and violence and murder. We will use safety tools, such as the X-Card and Lines & Veils for the safety of all players ABOUT YOUR GM Chi (she/her) is a GM with a few years of experience running indie RPGs for friends and convention attendees, and she is now a regular GM at Side Quest.
