Designing Ganakagok: The Certainty of Change

The Flames Rising design series continues with a new essay from Bill White telling us about his fantasy RPG, Ganakagok.

Ganakagok is a fantasy where characters are members of a tribe that lives in a night-time world on an island of ice who must deal with the coming of the Dawn and the changes it brings. Play involves the use of a deck of cards to generate situation, prompt narration, and inspire characters; each session produces an authentic-seeming myth of an imaginary people.

Stop by the Flames Rising website to read Bill's essay Designing Ganakagok: The Certainty of Change.
