If you’re a fan of Studio Ghibli and want to adventure around in a city like that as a novice witch, then Koriko: A Magical Year is the RPG for you. It’s all about urban adventure for one player and it’s up on Kickstarter now.
From the campaign:
This is a game for one player, designed for contemplative solo play. It’s a bubbling cauldron of simple rules and writing prompts, stirred together to produce the story of a teenage witch spending a year away from home in an unfamiliar city—Koriko.
You’ll use this book, a deck of tarot cards and a teetering tower of dice to explore the city, work to improve your witch’s fortunes and meet some of the city’s weird and wonderful residents.
The game’s primary inspiration is Kiki’s Delivery Service, both the Studio Ghibli film and the Eiko Kadono novel. I’ve watched the film countless times as it’s one of my son’s favourites, and its story and themes have burrowed their way deep into my soul.
The campaign’s making its way to 20x funded with 33 days left to go.
