A Good Death
 |
THE SITUATION IS HOPELESS.
You stand against impossible odds¸ facing a ruthless enemy. Eventually¸ you will fall. All you ask is that you be granted a good death.
A Good Death is a solo role-playing game and storytelling engine wherein you fight a hopeless battle to save your people. You must manage dwindling resources--the strength of your defenses¸ the health of the populace--and balance them against potentially earning personal glory and Omen tokens that can alter your fate.
Each turn¸ you draw Fate cards and decide whether to accept the outcome or contest your fate to minimize the consequences and earn glory.
At the beginning and end of each turn¸ you record your interpretation of events in your Chronicle. What tragic or epic events unfolded? What role did you play? Did fortune shine on you¸ or did fate conspire to rob you of glory?
Eventually¸ you will be forced to make a final stand against the darkness. Your Chronicle concludes with a record of your last moments and the historical account of events.
How will history judge your final days?
Did you become a legend or were you forgotten?
Did you die a good death?
