Description

What is the Game?

Lucky for None is a game about dark, strange and awful things happening in the village of Grimhaven, and whatever you do, everything will get worse.

• Most of the residents are going to die.
• Those that don’t may wish they had.

You play a local resident (or residents) as the village experiences 13 weird & woeful Events. Your actions may shield the populace from harm; or they may contribute to the devastation.

What am I buying?

• 

  The game is a  20-page professionally laid out A5 booklet, with a seperate village map, and a player journey sheet.

• The physical version will be printed on high quality 170gsm recycled paper, with a recycled silk  350gsm cover, and stapled. The physical version also comes with a d13 dice (various colours).
• The digital version is available in PDF and in a screen-reader friendly format, and digital backers are able to roll virtual d13s on a Virtual d13 Dice Roller on our website.

As you can see; the game has beautiful, bold design, carefully selected typography and is illustrated throughout with a mix of public domain and custom hand-drawn art.

For playing on your own, or with friends

Lucky for None is designed with rules-light simplicity, for three types of play:

• For a group of players and a Games Master.
• For collaborative play, without a Games Master (GM-less).
• For solo play, and journalling.

Why are we using a 13 sided dice?

Four reasons:

1. 13 is a traditionally scary number.
2. They have an odd number of sides, so they are irregularly shaped, and thus roll in a slightly strange, unpredictable way. Yes, even the way they roll is spooky.
3. A 12 sided dice is a common dice in RPG. Our game can basically use a d12, but with a relatively-frequently-occurring surprise 13 result, to trigger bad things happening within the game.
4. It sounded like a fun idea.
