New Game Announcement: Becoming The Villain

We are excited to announce the launch of our first game title Becoming The Villain!

Becoming The Villain is an innovative story-focused tabletop roleplaying game that can be played solo or with friends. Create a character, give them hopes, dreams, and aspirations; then use tarot cards to tell their story to see if they Become The Villain.

A Game for Storytellers

If you love telling stories, or playing collaborative story telling games like Dungeons and Dragons then this game is for you!

Becoming The Villain’s tarot card prompt system means endless replayability. You, the player, are empowered to interpret the story prompts your way to tell your story.

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

– Proverb, Unknown

A Fun Way to Create Rich Characters

Not only is it an engaging game in its own right, Becoming The Villain can also be used as a character backstory creator for antagonists.

Say hello to a fun way for writers, storytellers and Game Masters to generate villainous characters that feel organic and motivated.

As a character creator, Becoming The Villain arms you with:

  • Full backstory, detailing origins, temptation and fall of your character.
  • Ambitions, goals and motivations that reflect what your character wants… and what they will do to achieve them.
  • Roster of side-characters related to your character, both rivals and allies.
  • Skills and abilities your character is capable of.
  • Resources at their disposal.

In short, everything you need to transfer the character you create in Becoming The Villain into any story, setting or game you want!

“The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness”

– Joseph Conrad

Any Universe, Any Setting

Becoming the Villain is setting agnostic, meaning you can use it to create stories and characters in any setting from Tolekinesque high fantasy, postapocalyptic wastelands, or a sci-fi faraway galaxy.

Becoming The Villain will be launching on this website, Itch, and DriveThruRPG. EDIT: If you are reading this now, the game has launched! Check out our launch announcement here, or click here to buy the game!
