Charlatan: The Art of Deception Card Improv Game

Anjali here with another project because I can't sit still this month! 

Charlatan came about from too many rescheduled D&D nights. We're down a few players and everyone is unsure whether to meet up or try to assemble a one-shot quickly. NO MORE. Charlatan is the game for your improv D&D nights gone wrong. A quick-to-learn and fun-to-play prompt-based game to turn the tables on your favorite/forever GM!

You as players are the NPCs while your Game Master is in the hot seat as the Charlatan. Finish your goals in the time frame and win! It's time to break out those voices you've wanted to try out but doesn't want to waste an in-game session for! Don't take yourself or anyone else too seriously in this game.

Safety mechanics and rules are on the tarot-size cards.  Get as G to R rated as you'd like. You and your table know what's best. 

I'm so excited to bring this game to you all. And think it's a great addition to every GM's shelf to pull out on those nights. I am working on getting physical copies made so stay tuned for that!

As always, I'm glad you exist. Until the next update.

Much Love,

Anjali
