Description Edit | History

Proroctví (Prophecy) is a Talisman-style game by the Czech game designer Vladimír Chvátil. The players represent fantasy characters on their route through the land full of adventure with a goal of grabbing ancient artifacts from the claws of demons guarding surrounding astral realms. The one holding four out of five hidden artifacts is the winner and a next king of the land.
Imagine the Talisman style of moving your character around the gameboard, this time not by dice rolling, but by using different means of transport. The game includes a system of experience and loads of skills and spells your character can learn on various spaces of the land. Of course, there are quite a large number of monsters that you can meet and fight and many random events that you might face. The system of combat is also interesting - after you lose the fight or you cast a spell, your strength or your willpower declines until it is recharged by some healing.

4 Prophecy City Character and Ability Cards
NB: Small Version: size of Ability cards from original game. A beautiful re-working of the cards by Midaga Ritten (Midaga). Consider this to be the most up-to-date version of the cards (version 3). These cards (and more) are available to purchase as custom decks from ArtsCow. All of the Prophecy cards Midaga and I have made so far are bundled into two 54-card decks with a common card back; this is the most economical method. Midaga is working on a deck mat to keep the decks separate during play. http://www.artscow.com/share/2obu6562mv0n http://www.artscow.com/share/xoffmk2ta11u I intend to create more Quest, Civilization Event and Wilderness event cards to bring the total for each up to 54 cards, which would allow us to print a separate deck for each type, with a unique card back for each of the three decks. This will negate the need for a play mat. You may want to wait until I have done this before ordering anything from ArtsCow! Watch this space.

8 Prophecy Character Cards
New character cards and standees for all 10 characters from the original game, plus another 16 of my own devising. Comments and suggestions welcomed. EDIT: Inverted the pentacle symbol used for the 'Magic Tower' Guild. The Magic Tower is now aligned with the forces of Good, not Evil, as was the case in the original file. Phew. Pagans, Wiccans and the like should print replacement cards to avoid bursting into flames. Everyone else can continue to use the original cards on the understanding that doing so may be considered evil by your deity or deities.

8 Prophecy Event Cards
Two decks of 30 cards and a rule sheet for introducing location events to your games of Prophecy. I appreciate feedback, including (but not limited to!) how overpowered or underpowered the cards are, typos, rules questions, and new quest suggestions. These cards are 8.5 cm by 5.5 cm, the dimensions of a standard playing card. Either print, laminate and cut to size, or skip the lamination step and stick them to a deck of playing cards. If you do this, you may want to print at 95% of the original size to give yourself a margin of error.
