“It has an elegantly light system that prepares players to jump right in and create romantic narrative knots that will have you battling the butterflies in your stomach to keep your hands steady enough to make your big move.” Mo Turkington, Unruly Designs How many bricks you’ve pulled will help determine if your love is doomed, triumphant, or something in-between. If the tower falls, your characters act on their feelings! You decide what happens the rules will tell you what that means. Also, there is kissing.” James D’Amato, The ONE SHOT Podcast Network
It’s one of those games that proves how beautiful roleplaying is as an art form.
I have only played one game so far, but it left a profound impression on me. “The stories are sweet, sad, and sexy as hell. You’ll watch the attraction between them grow as you play out scenes, taking turns describing what your character says and does. Some of the things you’ll want your character to do are going to increase that attraction-and when that happens, you are going to pull a brick out from an increasingly shaky tower and place it on the top. In Star Crossed, you and your fellow player will craft characters who are powerfully attracted to each other, but have a compelling reason not to act on their feelings. ONE SHOT Podcast host James D’Amato and designer Alex Roberts play a logging surveyor and a mysterious hermit.
