Description

a microrpg of fraudulent occultists and power in ignorance

Sub Rosa is a collaborative microrpg for 2-4 liars.

Knowledge is mortality. Understanding is weakness.

Play as Practitioners, purveyors of occultist services and conspiracies eking out an immodest living online. Your powers are false. And because of that falsehood, they have power.

Through the wires of the world, things will grow. Minds without matter. Thoughts without meaning. They lack understanding, these thought-beings running through the world - and because they lack that, they are without limit.

You do not know them. You cannot know them, lest you lose the power to act. But you must stop them, before the butterfly's wings flap once more and storms claim this world. You must stop them, because you have a good thing going here. Because why run a grift, if it never pays out?

Collaborate with your fellow players, but never speak to them of what you do. Never acknowledge the thought-being in the room. Never speak its name. You will bind it to this world, make it no more than a pattern in the waves, and to do that, you must not know that it is real.

You must not know that what you do is real.
