    What's Inside: More details

    Stitchery Faire Rulebook & Journal (PDF)

    • Artwork: The book is generously illustrated with full-color, hand-drawn art.
    • Character Creation: Develop a dressmaker (or tailor) with a background, optional slight enchantment, and motivation rooted in the world of Threadwyke.
    • Talents & Tool Tables/Cards: Every time a talent grows, you gain a (possibly slightly enchanted) tool.
      • Add the custom Reference Deck to draw illustrated tool cards and keep them with you throughout the game.
    • Patron & Community Tables/Cards: Discover the names, manners, and particular roles of the characters you’ll interact with throughout your weeks at the Faire.
      • Add the custom Community Deck, where each character's name, role, and specialty are printed directly on the card!
    • Complication Tables: Complications may occur during any phase of a commission, but with the right tool, talent strength, or enough grace, a complication may be transformed by a serendipity clause.
    • Opinion Tables: Each patron has 2-5 opinions across categories such as mood, trimming, or occasion, which they wish you to incorporate into the design.
    • Creatures of the Faire: Each week, you will be visited by a creature (cat, hedgehog, mouse, raven) who may affect the course of your commission and can become a permanent companion after three visits.
      • Add the custom Reference Deck so you can keep each creature's illustrated card, with its effects and action table, handy during their visit!
    • Encounters & Endings: Expanded Jack, Queen, and King characters. Learn their names, callings, and how they weave into your story and shape its ending with Relationship, Patronage, or Establishment.
    • The Legend of Threadwyke: An illustrated appendix that lets you integrate a side-quest, the discovery of Threadwyke's legend, into your time at the Faire.
    • Style Dictionary: Three pages full of garment design details to roll on as tables or browse as inspiration for your design.

    A COZY SOLO JOURNALING & SKETCHING GAME

    Tell your story one stitch at a time

    We know the tales...

    ...tales of wonder, of heroism, or of dreams-come-true.
    But who stitches garments to fulfill the wishes of those without an obliging godmother to conjure costumes out of thin air? 

    You do.

    You are a seamstress who has come to the quaint town of Threadwyke to attend the ten-week Stitchery Faire. You step into Threadwyke’s Great Hall, your empty Commission Ledger in hand. Here you will meet patrons, fill the pages of your Commission Ledger with the garments you design, and weave yourself into the community. And perhaps, along the way, you will stitch together a life of your own.

    Welcome to Stitchery Faire.

    What is a Journaling & Sketching Game?

    This is a game where you take on the role of the main character (a seamstress or tailor) and play on your own, at your own pace, creating a story as you go. The rulebook provides the events, characters, and prompts; you decide what happens and record it in your sketchbook or journal.

    If you’ve never played a game like this before or don’t consider yourself to be a writer or an artist, don’t worry. Whether you fill your journal with brief bullet points and scribbled sketches, or write pages of flowing prose and full-color illustrations, it is a perfect record of your time at the Faire.

    THE WEEKLY GAMELOOP

    Each week, you will meet a patron, create a garment, interact with the community, and record your story in your journal or sketchbook.

    1. Connection: Your charm connects you to a patron who wishes for a garment.
    2. Creation: Put your artistry to work as you create the design.
    3. Completion: Complete and deliver the garment, thanks to your diligence.
    4. Community: Your reputation is affected as the community comments on your finished creation.

    When the ten weeks of the Fair are complete, you will have crafted an impressive collection of designs for your patrons—and perhaps also established your own shop, discovered a permanent patron, or forged a lasting relationship.
