Come Away

You're a faerie -- long of life but short of attention.

A mortal Visitor has come to your faerie mound. Can you make them stay?

In Come Away, you play a band of faeries. Bored with their long lives, they've decided to keep the mortal Visitor who's come to their faerie mound. The Visitor may have other ideas. But that's nothing you can't get around with enchanted food, illusory lures, and other faerie tricks. The mortal world is sad and ephemeral; can you convince this mortal to come away with you?

Come Away is a SWORDDREAM game. It combines OSR-style d20 mechanics with a set of social moves similar to those found in Powered by the Apocalypse games. The players and GM use their own knowledge of faerie tales, plus some prompts provided by the game, to play a series of scenes where the faeries try to trick, convince, or seduce the Visitor into staying with them.

Come Away supports 3 to 5 players plus a GM, takes less than 2 hours to play, and requires no prep beyond the GM reading the rules.
