#RPGADay2024 Day 5: RPG with great writing.
I have really enjoyed reading Swords of the Serpentine. Along similar themes, Into the Cess and Citadel is really evocative in its writing.
I can't wait to use Into the Cess and Citadel to play my games of Swords of the Serpentine.

I'm glancing through Swords of the Serpentine. It's a investigative Sword and Sorcery game based on GUMSHOE. Anyways, this power crossed my bow.
Laws and Traditions: ... [for points] Make up an obscure but applicable church dictate or city ordinance that then becomes canon for the rest of the campaign.What a terrifying power to give players. I showed it to another GM and he immediately told me I am never allowed to play a character with this. I would absolutely spend every game thinking about how to abuse this power into slowly derailing the campaign setting into a legal hellscape.
