The Death of Numismus
 |
thus passes Numismus¸ god of COIN
sundered by hungry adventurers
dethroned by jealous rival gods
and here lies the divine record of Numismus¸ fallen¸ defeated¸ or forgotten god of old¸ god of gold¸ god of coin¸ and a lot more besides
The Death of Numismus is a solo journalling game about the slow dying and sudden death of Numismus¸ God of Coin¸ whose Cthonian Vault is a ripe target for gold-seeking "adventurers”¸ and whose (mainly ill-gotten) facets of divinity are falling prey to rival gods.
To play out Numismus' fate¸ you'll need a stack of 20 coins¸ a tarot deck of both minor and major arcana (or an RNG to randomly get entries from the oracles)¸ a single six-sided die¸ a quiet place and a few hours of time to play¸ and whatever tools you need to make a divine record of Numismus' fall Age by historic Age:
Numismus' Cthonian Vault comes under threat from Adventurers¸ hungry for the hoard within the Coins of Numismus¸ sentient coins that act as the god's eyes on the world and advisors to mortals Numismus works Miracles to bless those in favour¸ curse those without¸ and grant powers to their champions gods try to steal Facets of Godhood from Numismus' temples¸ cutting their power piece by bloody piece
Many calamitous threats could end Numismus-attacks by ancient gold-hungry dragons¸ religious schisms that shred their cults to bits¸ divine execution in the heart of their power-but they could also suffer perhaps the most ignominious fate of all: being nickel-and-dimed out of legend and into obscurity. Time will tell¸ and so will you¸ as you write the divine record of Numismus¸ God of Coin¸ unto their dying breath.
