Royal courts: we all know them, we all want them to cede control of their holdings to the people. But things after the Feyschism are not so easy. The Feyfolk have been rocked to their very core as the rules they lived by – their Oaths and Protocols – simply... didn't apply anymore. But that's not all. The conflict between angels and fiends is shifting rapidly, as both sides try to force a change in the very nature of battlefields. A group of upstarts that most people are pretty sure used to be a blasphemous cult are stepping into the polite company, still smelling vaguely of fish and blood. And the newest Lord Speaker of the Chronal Peerage seems less interested in non-intervention and more in rewriting time and space according to their whim.

You're probably wondering things like "Who are Feyfolk? What exactly was the Feyschism? Did you say 'angels'?" Those are all excellent questions.

This booklet provides both the players and the GM with some additional goodies to include in the game. Specifically:

  • 18 New (dare I say improved? no) Backgrounds
  • 18 New Enemies to chat up and/or smash down
  • Rules for Status Combat. It's like violence, but with words!

and, of course

  • 6 Eldritch Courts of Some Repute

I am new to TTRPG. It seems this information is not included on a lot of game descriptions on itch.io. Maybe it’s obvious to most people, but not to me!

  • How many players does this game support? (please clarify if it includes or excludes the GM)
  • What is the average play time?
  • Is there a solo mode or not?

Hi! Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you. To answer your questions:
This is a supplement to a game called Troika! You won't be able to use only it to play, but a free SRD is available on Itch. Although I suggest getting the full game, it's pretty awesome.
I'd say Troika supports up to 6-7 players, including a GM. There's no solo mode for it, and the average play time would be around 3 hours. At least that's how long I'd be willing to play a single session.
