Based on sword and sorcery stories by C.L. Moore (one of the first women to publish in the genre, and a contemporary of Conan's Robert E. Howard), Jirel of Joiry’s kingdom has been overtaken by the warlord Guillame. Her last ditch attempt to save her kingdom involves travel into the realm of the Black God to search for a means to destroy her enemy and take back her kingdom... potentially at the cost of her own soul.
One or two players can assume the role of either Jirel (tempestuous female warrior) or the Black God (a phantasm with unknowable intrigues). Each role will be forced to make difficult choices in this fast-paced, rules lite, GM’less tabletop "micro game". Can Jirel claim the Black God's deadly kiss and retain her sanity? Will it be worth the effort, and will she ultimately regret her choice?
The Kickstarter was funded in September of 2022 and at that time the game and its parent boxed rpg set were planned for release sometime in late 2023. As of June 2025, the game is still unprinted & unreleased.
