Forgery

Unfortunately, you’re a nobody. Sure, you aced all your classes and you have a great eye. But it’s hard to make it into Art Forum magazine. Instead, you’ve found contract work in replicating famous paintings and selling them online, which is actually legal as long as you specify it’s a reproduction. The pay hasn’t been great…until you receive your latest commission.

Forgery is a story of a down-on-her-luck art forger named Tempest, who receives a new commission to recreate a painting that they discover is cursed over time. It is a solo tabletop roleplaying game where the player (you) will be coloring in a paint-by-numbers image. The colors that you choose determine the outcome to the story. 

The game comes in a ~125-150 page book that has 26 chapters that you will go through in a choose-your-own-path style of play. As you choose from the options provided, you will fill in noted parts of the picture with colors of your choice.

If you feel conflicted over some of the options provided, you may roll 1D6 to determine which option you go with. 

At the end, you'll have an artifact from the game that you had a hand in creating.

Throughout the game, you will also be asked to fill in prompts in-character as Tempest. There are sections for journaling, allowing you to inject a bit of how you think Tempest would think, feel or react. 

Calibration tools for solo play are also included in the book, giving players space to debrief with themselves and others, as well as processing gameplay before reentering back to their  regular daily lives.

Banana will also be painting 26 paintings, each serving as a chapter header for the book. 5 of the original paintings will be on sale as a tier.
