Koriko: A Magical Year RPG (Boxed Edition)

A tarot-driven story game of novice witches, urban exploration and teenage drama for solo & shared-world play.

This is a game for one player, designed for contemplative solo play. Its a bubbling cauldron of simple rules and writing prompts, stirred together to produce the story of a teenage witch spending a year away from home in an unfamiliar city called Koriko.

The games primary inspiration is Kikis Delivery Service, both the Studio Ghibli film and the Eiko Kadono novel. Ive watched the film countless times as its one of my sons favourites, and its story and themes have burrowed their way deep into my soul.

You don’t need to have played a roleplaying game beforethis isnt much like most of them anyway. A passing familiarity with witches, urban exploration and teenage drama is all the background youll need.
