Faeries

A bunch of faeries kidnapping your kids and stealing your milk. They have a van, and a fax machine that talks directly to Seelie.

Current status: Under Construction

Faeries grabbing someone and shoving them into their van.

So far, it's a bunch of playbooks, and a collection of loose ideas. It needs work, but you can check out what's done here!

Faepunk errands gone wrong!!!

In Faeries you play the bastard children of folklore and office culture: petty, dangerous, and constantly dispatched to “handle” humans. The court sends missions by fax. The van takes you there. Nothing is properly briefed.

The game lives in contemporary real world streets, suburbs, and backroads. The monsters are old, mean ideas wearing new clothes: child theft, bad bargains, social workers with antlers, that sort of thing.

Sessions tend to oscillate between horrible things happening to mortals and the faeries themselves being idiots with too much power and not enough impulse control.

What is Faeries?

Genre

Faepunk dark comedy: modern cities, folklore logic, and the kind of fairy tale where the wolf wins often enough to keep everyone nervous.

Tone

Chaotic, petty, and very funny until you notice what's actually happening. Dark comedy with sharp edges: child kidnappings, broken promises, old stories replayed in supermarket car parks.

Rules

A fully compliant FitD-style engine. Each type of faerie is a playbook, with its own tricks, moves, and ways to dodge responsibility.

Focus

Crew dynamics, messy jobs, and folklore bleeding into modern systems: social services, logistics, local politics, the gig economy, and whatever Seelie thinks counts as "subtle".

Playbooks

Here are a few playbooks from the current draft. Layout, wording, and even entire mechanics may change, but they should give a clear sense of the horrible little fucks.
