The Way of the Witch
This is an indie-style solo tabletop card & journaling RPG set in medieval Ireland with themes relating to social isolation, persecution from religious institutions and paranoia driven by real life events such as witch hunts or the Black Death outbreak of 1347 AD which lead to mass executions for heresy. The game emphasizes community building through spells, secret societies like covens that gather together those who practice magic (witches), a sense of self-preservation in seeking out allies rather than relying on external support from religious institutions and an aversion towards violence or the use of firearms as weapons due to historical events such as Oliver Cromwell's rule after he was forced by Parliament, England to abolish torture.
