Four of the games in the hardcover version of Princess with a Cursed Sword have been available as PDF one-sheets in the past (Princess with a Cursed Sword, Tavern at the End of the World, The Empress and Her Seer, and Magpie by Moonlight). CMich Press publishes them together now as a bound volume alongside a new game, Thaumaturge, and new art from artist Evlyn Moreau.
The book also includes actual play vignettes for each game, written by an amazing host of featured players:
• Nell Raban (writer and game designer, Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, Fallen London) as the Princess;
• Sharang Biswas (award-winning game designer, artist, author, and educator; Avatar: Legends, Pathfinder, Sea of Legends) as the Tavernkeep;
• Jupiter Wildwood (maker, writer, and witch; Summoning Circle Press) as the Seer;
• Jack de Quidt (writer and composer, Friends at the Table) as the Magpie; and
• Gregory Avery-Weir (writer and game designer, Rosette Diceless) as the Thaumaturge!
And there’s more! The book includes rules for a two-player epistolary version of gameplay, suggestions for endless replayability, and instructions for players to create their very own solo journaling RPG in the style of Princess with a Cursed Sword.
