Welcome to the timeweave, Agent

In Timespell, you play elite agents fighting a multi-dimensional Time War originating from an Apotheosis, one of the successful and powerful paradigms at the singularity apexs of the timelines. Each Apotheosis wants its ideals to reign supreme up and down the timestream. 

You serve on diverse missions to twist and wrestle the time currents to your end. Sometimes you warp in fifteen minutes early to lay waste to two entire advanced orbital battle fleets, bringing cruisers crashing to devastate the planet below, ending a space empire. Other times you infiltrate for the purpose of removing one specific linchpin around which a history evolves: a doctor who develops a necessary vaccine; the anarchist who starts a war. And sometimes you find yourself embedded for a lifetime, subtly pushing an entire people to change to achieve the goals of your Apotheosis.

But—you have a problem. 

You might be falling in love with an agent on the other side. You have been receiving letters from them, hidden in sabotaged missions.

###

In Timespell, 2-5 players are agents falling in love with other agents in a time war, and one player is the Weaver, a GM-like guide and watcher. Gameplay follows scenes of each agent's deployment to win a moment in time sabotaged by another agent who is leaving a message. The messages increase in emotional intensity until one agent falls in love with another, and then they all try to escape the war. 

From the depths of time

Timespell is a deep appreciation of This Is How You Lose the Time War, a science fiction epistolary novel by Amal el-Mohtar and Max Gladstone wrapped in the beautiful poetry of the tabletop roleplaying game Wolfspell by Epidiah Ravachol, found at www.WorldsWithoutMaster.com. Both are advanced pieces of technology stolen from the future and brought back in time and I highly recommend them.

This is a first draft of the game currently in playtest. If you do download and try it out, my heartfelt thanks! I'd love your feedback. Your support means I can polish it up.
