I am looking for one person to fit into the fourth member slot of our group. We are just about to start a magical girl game in Fate Core that aims to balance the Mahou Shojou dynamic with a fair bit of darkness. Think Madoka Magica, although not in that universe. The game takes place on Friday nights starting at 8pm est, and should go about four to five hours depending on the session. Here is the game pitch: A FATE game based around the magical girl trope. You play a high school student (of any gender) that has been picked by a familiar to become a warrior in the war against Nightmares. Nightmares are formed from the collective fear of the human subconscious, and familiars are formed from the collective positivity of the human subconscious. Your character has a transformation scene which lets them access most of their abilities, along with a specific “Dress Sphere” ability that is specific to individual magical warriors. If you kill a magical warrior you can take their dress sphere and use it to access those abilities, along with a quick costume change. Theme: What I call Dark Cute. Fighting Nightmares plays havok with one’s sanity, and almost all magical warriors end up going insane at some point. The balance is learning how to walk the knife’s edge between sanity and madness while being as effective as possible. In game terms, you have a sanity tracker that works just as any other tracker in the game. Setting: Boston. (There will be a session zero where we work out the setting a bit together) Session Zero happens tonight, but if you are interested and can't make it, you are more than welcome to jump in next week for Session One.
