We are getting near the end of this challenge and I find I am sad to see it go. I am going to revisit these characters all at a later date I am sure. Maybe reunite them under one system. Today though I want to go back to a system I really like but rarely get to do anything with. Elizabeth Chaipraditkul's WITCH: Fated Souls.
The Game: WITCH: Fated Souls
WITCH: Fated Souls was part of a very successful Kickstarter and later sales on DriveThruRPG. It shares many of the background features of WitchCraft but in a different way. That will be a theme all this week. WITCH:FS also has "witches" and how they use magic to affect the worlds around them. It is a different take on some of the same ideas and I always find it a joy to read.
I did a lengthy review of the game a while back, and it was part of another Character Challenge where I stated up Thomasin from "The VVitch" in different systems.
The system is pretty easy to learn and is flexible. I prefer WitchCraft in many ways, but that is hardly a fair comparison. There is a lot that WITCH:FS does very well and I do wish I spent more time with it. It is a game that rewards your investment of time to it with the characters becoming more and more interesting as they progress. There is every bit of the same sort of world-building here that happens in WitchCraft or The World of Darkness games. It just needs a GM that will give it the time that it deserves.
The Character: Alexandria
Alexandria has been with me in idea form for a little while. Her concept writ large is a "Tireless Social Justice Witch." She is not afraid to fight for what she believes is right and she doesn't back down.
Also, I always imagined her as looking like Cuban singer Camila Cabello. Why? Because I adore her and I listened to a lot of her music to get the right vibe for this character.
