Danger lurks around every corner. Witches hide in the forest, waiting for children to stray from the path. Hyper-intelligent raccoons threaten to take over the planet. Children move to a new school where nobody wants to be their friend. The humans can't save themselves! They don't even notice the danger!
It's a good thing they have magical kitties.
How to Play
When your kitty tries to do something tricky or dangerous, you will be asked to make a check. Your game master (GM) will tell you which attribute—Cute, Cunning, or Fierce—is that one you will roll for. (Don't remember what the attributes do? Read Creating Your Kitty!) The number you have in that Attribute is the number of dice you start with. This is called your dice pool. If your kitty is using a Talent, you can add an additional die to your dice pool. If your kitty is using a Magical Power, you can add two more dice to your dice pool, but you can only do this once per scene. You may also get a die for a success bonus, or lose a die for each injury you have. If your total dice in a pool is zero, you can't roll the dice.
The difficulty of the check ranges from 3 to 6. The higher the number, the tougher the check.
Once you have all of your dice and know the difficulty, it's time to roll your dice. Roll them all at once. Each die that gets a number equal to or higher than the difficulty counts as a success. If you rolled no successes, your kitty fails at the task. If it at least one die was a success, your kitty Succeeds. The more successes you roll, the better your kitty does!
Making your kitty is like making up a character in a story. You decide what he or she looks like, what they like to do or don't like to do, and their personality. Part of creating your kitty is also assigning certain numbers used in the game's rules.
First you have to decide on your kitty's name. This could be a name their human uses, or another name that magical kitties call them, or both. Then decide what your kitty looks like. Think about different colors and cat breeds.
Spotlights
There are two plate glass windows at the front of Mischiefs. One contains an incredibly elaborate model train set, complete with bridges, tunnels, buildings, and even little people on motorized tracks going about their business. The other is filled with dolls that children find delightful, but adults honestly think are just a little bit creepy.
Although the small, homey interior of the store has all the usual toys, the owner, Morgan Rees, still hand-crafts some truly wondrous creations that can be found for sale in a special section at remarkably reasonable prices.
Rees has a pet cat, Mythbuster, who runs a tight ship and doesn't tolerate "strays" who wander in off the streets. Rees lives in an apartment upstairs, so Mythbuster is around all night.
Preeti is a highly intelligent and knowledgeable woman. She is well-read and well-informed on a wide range of subjects. She's also a bit absent-minded, as her mind is always racing ahead to the next thing. Her colleagues and patrons of the library often comment that her thoughts seem to be going faster than her words, leading her to have moments of hesitation or short silences when she's trying to express herself. However, once she starts talking about her favorite subjects, her knowledge and passion are evident. She's a dedicated professional, who takes her role as head librarian very seriously and is determined to make the library a vital and important resource for the community. She has a warm and welcoming smile that makes people feel at ease, and it breaks her heart to see a sad person in her library.
