Faith & Sails

Faith & Sails is a gmless microRPG about religious refugees escaping persecution to a life of piracy. Each die becomes a crew member, each decision carries a risk, and when somebody's lost, they go off into the drink! (Specifically, a cup of water.)

Each soul lost becomes part of a future prophecy, its die tumbling into the sea, warning and providing aid on your journey. Have your seer peer into the cup to predict the future, reading the dice held within. And when the water overflows, you decide how your journey ends.

Part of the 2021 One-Page RPG Jam!

Behemoths, sea storms, and colonial persecution remain at your back throughout, providing a threat to life and limb beyond even your anti-imperialist endeavors. Will you strike a blow against your oppressors, raid them of their goods, and sing a prayer to your gods? Or will you sink, your people forgotten to all but the spirits?
