In the Shadow of Glory

You’re at the peak of power, nowhere to go but down. You've fought all your battles, age is setting in — now all you can do is resist your downfall, and lament in the choices you’ve made. Perhaps still, there is companionship to be had, in unlikely places.

Uncover what it means to be the human behind the mask. 

In the Shadow of Glory is a two-player epistolary ttrpg of flawed heroes and broken villains. One player embodies a hero who has gone unmatched, and the other player - their arch nemesis. Both unable to thwart the other, and resigning to co-existence. Explore the nostalgic relationship between two long-lost foes that have no one else who truly understands the weight of power.

How to play

Each player takes turns doing the following:

1. receive a letter from the other player
2. draw cards to discover the weekly events:
   • a mundane event that will affect your alter-ego identity's life
   • a super-powered event that will affect your super-powered identity's life
3. resolve a goal action to progress personal goals
4. write and send a letter to your rival.

You'll only need a deck of cards to play, no dice needed!
