the Understudy, the Bowerbird, the Strategist, and the Mirror
Four independent Archetype playbooks for Kay Marlow Allen's two-player epistolary game Your Friend in Witchcraft! ✨?✨ This set includes two new Expert and two new Novice playbooks, a collection of witches each on their own threshold between who they've always been and what on earth comes next. Play as an Understudy exploring paths untaken, a Bowerbird navigating the complexities of self-reliance, a Strategist reckoning with the unanticipatable, &/or a Mirror rediscovering their true self. ✨?✨ Please note that this supplement contains only these four playbooks, and that you will need a copy of the full game to play -- and if you've used any of these Archetypes in a game of Your Friend in Witchcraft, I'd love to hear how it went! Drop me a line here in the comments or over on Twitter -- & thanks for playing!
