the DEATH of NUMISMUS [$5.00]

the DEATH of NUMISMUS [$5.00]:

thus passes NUMISMUS, god of COINsundered by hungry ADVENTURERS

dethroned by jealous RIVAL GODS
and here lies the divine record of Numismus, fallen, defeated, or forgotten god of old, god of gold, god of coin, and a lot more besides.
the DEATH of NUMISMUS is a solo role-playing game about the slow dying and sudden death of Numismus, God of Coin, whose Cthonian Vault is a ripe target for gold-seeking dungeoneering adventurers, and whose (mainly ill-gotten) facets of divinity are falling prey to rival gods.

This is a Wretched & Alone journalling game that uses both Major and Minor Arcana of a standard tarot deck as well as a tower of coins to help tell Numismus' story. You'll also need a single six-sided die, a quiet place and a few hours of time to play, and whatever tools you need to make a divine record of Numismus' fall Age by historic Age:

  • Numismus' Cthonian Vault comes under threat from Adventurers
  • the Coins of Numismus, sentient coins that act as economic advisors and spies, change hands and report what they've seen and heard
  • Numismus works Miracles to bless those in their favour, curse those without, and grant power to their champions
  • rival gods attempt to steal away Facets of Godhood from Numismus' highly-secure branch temples, whittling down their divine power piece by bloody piece
Many calamitous threats could end Numismus—dragon attacks, religious schisms, divine execution—but they could also suffer perhaps the most ignominious fate of all: being nickel-and-dimed out of legend and into obscurity. Time will tell, and so will you, as you write the divine record of Numismus, God of Coin unto their dying breath.
