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.

One block west of the town square, the post office is an imposing building of yellow granite and pillars. At night, its windows are lit up with a golden light that makes it look like a forgotten palace.

Brigham Hoyle has been the mayor of River City for the past three years. His father, Morris Hoyle, was mayor back in the late-'80s and '90s. His heart is mostly in the right place, but his efforts can be a little hapless in practice and he's not always able to turn his ideas into action. Growing up, he was always interested in politics and public service, and he's always been determined to follow in his father's footsteps. He's determined to make River City a better place for everyone, but his lack of experience can sometimes be a liability. He's well-liked by the citizens of River City, but he's still trying to establish his own legacy and make a name for himself.

Pixies are smaller than fairies and look like tiny humans with butterfly or dragonfly wings, and they love two things more than anything: playing pranks and making people keep promises. Though most aren't actually evil, their "jokes" can lead humans into danger.
