Immortal Festival

There’s a faint, pleasant scent on the breeze and the word “ambrosia” on your tongue. You inhale sharply and the world seems cleaner, brighter. It’s early morning in Mirna, and the sun rising over the water carries with it a new luster and a deep calm. From your hilltop vantage, you can see the crowd approaching the shore as it recedes and divides as if cut with a butter knife, making way for the goddess of the waters to stride ashore and into the arms of her people.

Even from here, you can sense her radiance and power, and you feel its blessing wash over your heart. A dozen of the people from the shore levitate and soar over the ocean, over the town, over you. A dazzling array of colors shine atop the buildings through every soul. A loud, booming song erupts through the air, and the most joyful cheer you’ve ever felt crosses the hills and rolls across the land. The Festival has begun.

IMMORTAL FESTIVAL is an eight-page sidequest zine designed to be dropped into the tabletop roleplaying game of your choice. It contains 20 divine domains, 20 supernatural powers, and 20 mundane tasks that are maybe not totally 100% worth wasting your limited immortality on. 

It is system neutral, but I was thinking a lot about CAIRN by Yochai Gal, PILGRIMS OF MISFORTUNE by Nate Treme, and THE VANILLA GAME by Jared Sinclair. The title was generated using Chris Bissette's Random Adventure Title Generator and the zine was written specifically for their Random Adventure Jam.

Gain some powers! Do a favor for a deity! Maybe get rewarded? The world is yours (and, you know, everyone else's), so make the most of the next 24 hours while you celebrate... the IMMORTAL FESTIVAL!
