Midnight Muscadines: Narrative Playing Cards

Narrative playing card deck packed with tables, mentor prompts and more to assist solo players and GMs alike in building their story! 

Designed for use with Midnight Muscadines, the cards can also be used with any system.

The Cozy-Dark game of Deliciously Magical Jams

Magic is waning. The last of the sun’s shards illuminate only a small valley of the world, while the remainder is bathed in perpetual Wildernight.

Roots of the elusive Midnight Muscadines grow deep into the earth, concentrating the last tendrils of magic into its grapes. Find, collect, and preserve these grapes into highly coveted jams, sustaining the world’s magic.

Midnight Muscadines is a solo+ TTRPG using dice and playing cards to explore a world with a shattered sun, survive the shadows that lurk, and craft deliciously powerful jams to keep the magic alive. It can be played solo, duet, GM-less, or with a traditional GM.

Midnight Muscadines balances grand adventure and drama with a cozy life and nostalgia for warm summer days and crisp fall evenings. The world is filled with interesting people, places, and creatures that may happily aid you, or voraciously defend themselves.

Marmateers are jam makers, adventurers, and explorers, often performing other jobs like bee keeping and cartography in the off season.

The conflict system and bestiary are designed to support creative problem solving, tense arguments and debates, and, on occasion a good old fight depending the mood you're going for.

Magical Jam powers the world of Nimm, and armed with jars made from highly refined midnight muscadines, what you put in your jam jar imbues your jam with different magical effects! As ingredients are added together, the player chooses how the effects of each ingredient meld together to form a new magical spell. 

This gives the players imaginative control over their magic, and Marmateers using the same two ingredients may have very different spells.
