Hollyhock

COMING SOON! :]
Hollyhock is currently in production, but it's not quite done yet! We are revising based on playtesting feedback and setting up everything we need to publish this game in a digital and physical form. 

Hollyhock is a tabletop roleplaying game set in the surreal and theatrical world of the Fae, taking place throughout a celebration of mischief, trickery, wit, and skill– the Hollyhock Festival! Pull pranks, dive into the political and social machinations of Fae society, and find yourself immersed in the mystery and delight of the Fae world’s most beloved holiday. 

In Hollyhock, players take on the roles of various fair folk as they partake in the festival, each with their own motivations and goals. It is made for 3-6 players, and is a GMless game– everyone works together to build the story! 

It takes inspiration from the Belonging Outside of Belonging system by Avery Alder and Ben Rosenbaum, where instead of tokens, players build a hand out of a deck of cards over the course of the game as they make moves. 

Hollyhock is framed as a play– it thrives with drama and comedy, and is structured in Acts. Each Act culminates in the execution of the players plans– whether they be spectacular failures, delightful success, and anything in between. Within this game you will find all the rules, guidelines, and lore that provide structure for the narrative of each adventure to unfold! 

When you buy this game, you will receive: 

• Fully colored and illustrated pdf of the game containing 8 playbooks and 7 archetypes to build a unique character from, a card-based move system, and a variety of art and lore.
• Blank Character Sheet
• Blank Act Template
• Example Acts Supplement
