love and devotion

Who are you without someone to follow? What will you do to keep the ones you love?

love and devotion seeks to provide answers to these questions, or at least the tools with which to find the answers within your games. it provides two additional playbooks for 'til it kills us — a game about rebellion, queer love, and mental health — that focus on these very themes. it is designed to help players act out stories of love, obsession, loyalty, duty and self-expression at the game table, and also provides new abilities and magics that can be used be characters across the game's playbooks.

the lovesick — there is something admirable about the lovesick, in the minds of some people. after all, true love is one of the greatest things you can aspire to, and martyrdom is supposedly divine. but when someone will do anything, even rip out their own heart, to keep you with them... are you really free to leave?

the bound — every choice the bound has ever made came down to one thing. the thing that defines their character, that they are loyal to above all else, whether that be a person or an ideal. it makes them brave defenders, but it makes them... dangerous. after all, can you trust someone who has never really thought for themselves? 

love and devotion includes allusions to body horror, mental illness, self harm and toxic relationships. the game also includes references to bigotry and homophobia. 

'til it kills us is based on the Buddy System, published by Jessica Marcrum.
