Advent • 2017 rpg

Over the next five weeks, an outlandish, distressing event will turn your little community upside down. The exact nature of the “Advent” is to be discovered in play, if at all.
Each week, the event will unfold and generate new trials as well as new opportunities for you, the heroes, to explore. 
At the start of the week, one player interprets what challenge the event brings from the weekly thematic statements below. Another describes a personal opportunity arising from the event: something about greed, power, faith, love or second chances. The remaining player(s) play out how their character seeks help, resources or solutions to overcome the challenge and decide if they seize the opportunity.
The players then switch roles around the following week.
The consequences of the Advent can be evaded, limited or fought, but can neither be stopped nor reversed.
