Wicked & Graceful

“The sun never sets upon the Atlantean Empire, for proud Atlantis holds even the sun in thrall.”

For ten thousand years, this was the hubris of the Indigo Isle. Near-immortal, they believed themselves invincible. Now, their last days are upon them, but they know it not.

The nobility revel in their masques and intrigues, fight their duels and defend their petty honors. They still hold the fate of the world in their hands — but not for long. 

Can you, one of Atlantis’ brightest and greatest, use these last moments of your people’s awesome power to avert the coming Fall? Will you wield it to your own ends, escaping the end that will swallow all others? 

Or will your jealousies and enemies fell you, depriving you not only of all you are, but of the chance to witness Atlantis’ last glory — its spectacular End?

Wicked & Graceful provides a light system that ties directly to the setting. By rolling a pool of different-colored d6s, you'll act boldly and discover doom.

Like games such as Lasers & Feelings and Trollbabe, you have a Number that swings between the poles of Wickedness and Grace. You can see the bulk of the system in the first screenshot.

The ritual system provides different mechanics for Lawful and Chaotic spells, giving them different substance and outcomes from each other.

The game also includes twenty-five d6 tables to help you generate factions, conflicts, Atlantean nobility, and even demons and horrible weapons from the Shadow Vaults.

Wicked & Graceful is the prequel to Bright & Terrible, the game of wandering Atlantean exiles after the fall. (You don't need a copy of that game to understand or play this one.)
