Description
For years you have served your Master faithfully. A loyal companion, you accompanied your Master through the difficult times, and the good times. Now, you are called in a moment of dire need: a Stranger has challenged your Master to a duel, alluding to time before you. Your Master rises to the challenge, calling you forth. This is your moment. You have trained for this. It is time to do your Master proud.
Your Master gives you the command:
FETCH MY BLADE
Embark (lol) on a literal fetch quest! Fetch My Blade is a solo journaling RPG for dog lovers, canine furries, and anyone wishing to ponder trust, loyalty, and the long-term emotional impacts of violence.
(Oh yes, like many of our favorite solo games, this one is simultaneously whimsical and serious.)
Use two traits, FIERCE and FRIENDLY, to undertake your journey. In true quest fashion, you’ll pass through eight introspective stages – three to depart, two to obtain the sword, and three to return. At each point, you’ll experience an ENCOUNTER. Choose your approach – FIERCE or FRIENDLY – and use your dice pool to roll over (or under) to react. QUESTION the TRUTHS you hold in your heart. Some will change as you learn more about your Master’s past. While you will always remain loyal, your understanding of this person – and your relationship to them – will grow and transform, becoming more nuanced and complex.
What will happen when you return to the site of the challenge, sword on your back? A legendary conflict? A peaceful resolution? Anything is possible.
