Weighing Styx and Stones

Death comes to us all. Young and old, rich and poor, good and evil. None can escape their final judgment. Weighing Styx and Stones is a rules-light, stand alone, narrative-driven RPG. Game elements are designed to foster a brooding and somber tone. Players explore the life of an individual and determine if they led a worthy life in the eyes of their judge.

• How will a Valkyrie judge a prohibition era mobster?
• What judgments will an Aztec god of death make regarding a modern actor?
• Will the behavior of a Crusader be judged worthy in the eyes of the neutral arbiter known as the Grim Reaper?

There are any number of combinations to be explored and ways to seek the ultimate fate for each new soul heading into the afterlife. The game offers a means to explore the crossing of cultural barriers for what constitutes a life well-lived.

Weighing Styx and Stones is designed to play between 2 players, though some permutations of judges allow for an extra player or two to participate. Simple enough to be learned in a day, but open enough to be explored over many different sessions. Weighing Styx and Stones is ideal for an intimate exploration of the weighty subjects of life and death.
