Dead Letters of the Sanguine Path | Duo Journaling Play-By-Post
Indie TTRPG | Campaign
About the adventure
The Dead Letter Society is a secret communication network that enables the exchange of ideas between its members. The Almanac of Sanguine Paths (or just 'The Almanac') is a guide delivered to werewolves by an unknown benefactor. Dead Letter Society and The Almanac of Sanguine Paths are two-player journal and letter-writing games. Both of these games can be played on their own with two of the same type of supernatural beings communicating with each other, or they can be played together with each player taking up one of each. In our first week, we will work together to create our characters, build the world our characters live in, and set the tone for our first letters to each other. Are we creatures lost in a modern world trying to make sense of our afflictions? Are we space travelers stumbling from planet to planet to better understand ourselves and our family histories? Perhaps we are simply lost and lonely beings that randomly find a spot where we leave messages without really knowing who the other is? It's all an option and possible with this game. → This game is a play-by-post that will be done entirely through text chat in Discord. ←
