The Archive of Small Promises

Player materials · 1.0.0

Promises have become little objects in a civic archive. Its shelves are full, and a librarian cannot return the promise she made to her sister.

Content notice: Commitment, family disappointment and consent; nobody must share a real promise.

These cards contain discoveries. Your GM will hand them out as you find them. Keep unrevealed cards face down.
