Eques

A rules light/procedure heavy game of emergent narrative. Solo first design, coop and gmless supported. Play to discover who you are in a world still lit by torches and with wilds untouched.

Only the dead have seen the end of war

Histories are skewed by those that have written them. Factions vie for territories and wild beasts still roam. Your legacy is dependent on exploration and knowledge. You will form a history of events from your perspective, to be shared with generations to come. You will face difficult decisions, often with ambiguous consequences.

Why is this free? Because the things that Eques is bolted onto are also free. Eques would not exist without them. What I ask for in return is a review. Let me know what you think of the game so far! It’s super motivating to keep working on this when I see folks are playing.

Eques is in BETA stage.

Next stepping stones:

- Another editing pass at writing for clarity

- Art and photo edits to ensure higher resolution on inventory cards

- Art and photo edits with inclusivity in mind

- Another editing pass at Stories to ensure flow of adventure, add a “guided” mode for folks not as familiar with scene setup and oracle interpretation, provide more guided questions 

XX Flesh out Warband movements when playing sandbox, consider how to integrate with story creation

- Flesh out Liege play with manor upkeep using inventory slots and the balancing of questing vs growing settlement

- A rewrite with new art to convert into mouse setting and rules for Mausritter
