Card Streamstone rated The Magus: Oracular Edition

Card Streamstone rated a solo journaling RPG 268 days ago
A downloadable solo journaling RPG.

This game is so cool. The mechanics are really well thought out and fascinating. There's a lot of variety, so you can replay the game many times and always have a different story. The power mechanic adds a lot of tension to the game. It can be tough to have an entirely good-oriented-alignment in this game but that's what makes it so juicy!! There's a lot of nuance and ethics you can explore.

The oracle cards are gorgeous. The characters look mostly female or nonbinary - I was a bit disappointed not to see many masculine characters. That said, one can easily get creative and reinterpret the cards to the player's liking. The card prompts themselves work really well and can probably cross-over to other games.

There are extra games at the back of the book - all based on the main game. They look creative, funny, and thoughtfully done. 

Anyway, I love this game a lot and you might too!
