Please rate my pitch
Hi All,
Can you please rate my sales pitch? [edit below]
„In the Shadow of the Crow” is a roleplaying game about people struggling to survive in occupied Warsaw.
This isn’t a game about winning the war. It’s about the price of survival in a world that constantly forces you to choose between one evil and another.
It’s about what you do when there’s no good way out—and how long you can hold on to who you are when the world around you is trying to change you.
The game features:
- A rich gameplay built on a small set of mechanics.
- Fast, intuitive resolution with few exceptions and modifiers.
- A single character state that tracks physical injury, psychological strain, and exhaustion, gradually reducing what you’re capable of.
- Deep character psychology built around five universal Motivations and a single dice roll.
- Tactical, fast paced combat driven by an initiative bag and a system of actions and reactions.
Any comments will be welcome :)
Edit after comments:
„In the Shadow of the Crow” is a roleplaying game about life in occupied Warsaw.
You’ll take to the streets of a city where war most often means a roundup on the street, an ID check, food shortages, a neighbour informing on you, or news that someone you know has just disappeared. Sometimes, victory means finding medicine, hiding someone from Gestapo, or making it home safely. Other times, you’ll have to decide whether helping a stranger is worth putting yourself and your loved ones at risk.
This isn’t about winning the war. It’s about what you do when there’s no good way out - and how long you can hold on to who you are when the world around you is trying to change you.
The system offers:
- Fast, intuitive resolution with minimal exceptions and modifiers.
- Deep character psychology built around five universal Motivations and a single dice roll.
- Tense, team based combat inspired by cover shooters, where controlling the situation matters more than taking out the enemy.
