Rite of Remembrance - Core Rules

Setting up the Deck

The People have their gifts, but they also have their curses. When everyone has finished creating their characters and bonds, the Runekeeper chooses (or randomly selects) three different Gifts that the players do not have access to, and one Curse.

Inscribe those gifts onto two Red cards, chosen at random.

Inscribe the Curse onto a ♠️ card.

Inscribing Cards

When you inscribe a card with either a Memory, a Deal, ****or a Curse, you add it to the deck! There are a number of ways you can do this:

• Write it on the Deck Sheet. Then, reference the deck sheet to determine which cards have effects on them.
• Print out the Memory, Deal, and Curse cards. Swap out standard cards in the deck for the Memory/Deal/Curse that takes the place of that card. You can put all cards in use into card sleeves so they have a similar feel.
• Write directly on the cards. Only if you don’t mind them being marked forever! You can also write on cheap card sleeves or tape and put them on the cards.
• Use the official Rite of Remembrance Rune Cards and swap them into the deck to take the place of a normal card.

Memories and Deals

When you have a Memory or a Deal in your hand, you may burn it to activate its effect! Burned cards are placed into a discard pile separate from the deck.

Deals

Powerful Spirits have roamed the Sacred Lands long before the first Memory. They are forces of nature, untamable and mysterious, though they are fond of offering deals to those who walk these lands; unbreakable covenants that can provide great power in times of need. Though, often the price of this power is quite steep indeed.
