An RPG titled 'Rites of Vengeance' in white font at the top of the mostly black cover. Between the first two words and the last is a burning stone tower being struck with lighting and with human skeletons falling from it. Below is an illustration of a person wearing dark robes and a sack over their face seated in the center of a ritual circle. In one hand is a bloody dagger, and in the other is a bone. A human heart sits in their lap, and a necklace around their neck. These four items, as well as the eyes of the otherwise obscured person and the tower stones above them, are all drawn in red. Everything else is a shade of white or grey.

Description

The anger fuels you.

Gnawing, gnashing, demanding retribution.  It pushes you to punish the one that caused your pain.  Only one fate is sufficient, and only one thing is powerful enough to grant it: The Demon.  You've found a teacher to guide you through the ritual.  The time draws near.

Vengeance will be yours.

Rites of Vengeance is a zine-sized, solo RPG based on the Wretched & Alone system in which the player is attempting to summon a demon to help them enact revenge.  Gameplay follows the course of a long, taxxing ritual, and centers around processing anger, grief, trauma, and the depths that all of these can push us to. 

Should players decide to end the ritual early, either for their own emotional safety or because they find they don't want their character to go through with it, the game has a built in mechanic for abandoning the ritual that still provides a satisfying story arc. All you'll need to play is:

  • A pencil and paper
  • A 6 sided die
  • A deck of playing cards
  • 10 Small tokens of your choosing
  • Either a Jenga tower or a bag of tokens

Are you willing to make the sacrifices the ritual asks of you to enact your terrible vengeance, or will you turn back before it's too late?

WARNING: Rites of Vengeance deals with subject materials not suitable for young audiences.
