As part of the #TasksFromTheCouncil , I posted this Custom Move for listening to an Oracle. Take a look!

Let me know if you play with it – given the timetable of the Kickstarter, I haven’t actually playtested it!

So there are some #TasksFromTheCouncil on the latest update of the #Epyllion Kickstarter. And as one who likes dragons and game design, I put together this little piece of world with a custom move:

The Oracle

The stories tell of an Oracle. They say she is older than even the eldest dragon. That he has a thousand eyes to see everything. That he only speaks in riddles. That she must never be seen. They say the Oracle knows the secrets of dragonkind. Can all these stories be true?

A young dragon with a quest may find themself in the presence of the Oracle.

Custom Move: When you whisper the name of a Clutchmate to the Oracle, roll +Gems (max +3).

On a hit, the Oracle foretells their destiny. The next time that Clutchmate would mark a Shadow or take a wound, you reveal the Oracle’s prediction and use that knowledge to prevent the Shadow or wound.

On a 7-9, the Oracle also reveals an action that the Moons need you to perform. When the time comes to take that action, you must either take it or rebel against the Moons and mark a Shadow.

On a miss, the Oracle’s predictions are cryptic and unhelpful.
